Switzerland will easily make it anyway.

Just looking up the Polish woman...

Kuszyńska entered the Polish music scene in 2000, when she was selected as the new vocalist of the Polish pop rock band Varius Manx, replacing Kasia Stankiewicz. In 2001, she released her first album with the band, titled Eta. The following year, she released her second album with them titled Eno. On 28 May 2006, Kuszyńska along with the other band members of Varius Manx were involved in a serious car accident in Milicz. The accident resulted in Kuszyńska becoming paralyzed from the waist down and having to use a wheelchair

Mysteriouschic

vienne86

Thought Molly didn't have a hope in hell, but some of that lot were so dire, she could make it.

Toto Wolfcastle

That Swedish guy really is a hottie.

deise08

God i could look at the Sweden guy all day!

Jpmarn

The odds at paddy for Ireland qualifying is a bit too long something like 11/8. They should be well money on.

Sever Tomorrow

The Swedish guy looks more than a bit like Christian Eriksen.

Ol' Donie

Stupid Eurovision. I wish it was Friday night.

Andersonisgod

Ireland
Sweden
Malta
Norway
Czech Republic
Israel
Latvia
Switzerland
Slovenia

Those are my, reasonably optimistic, predictions.

Welsh Megaman

Predictions for who's going to win the Isla Fisher lookalike contest?

Busi_Girl08

Prediction:

Through: Montenegro, Israel, Norway, Czech Republic, Latvia, Azerbaijan, Sweden (winner or at least top 2), Switzerland, Slovenia, Ireland.

EB_2013

The Israel song is growing on me the second time around. Hope they make the final.

Totally agree but when he is stationary, he's not as attractive

vienne86

How long does the voting last?

T0001

Am I the only 1 on here thats not expecting Ireland to qualify?

hmmm

Are you really sure we've mentioned all the famous Austrians?

ConstantJoe

Okay, I'm gonna go for:

Norway
Ireland
Montenegro
Israel
Latvia
Azerbaijan
Sweden
Cyprus
Slovenia
Poland

Unruly Hector

Well Austria, any famous nazi warmongers among yer ranks ??

LiamHam82

My predictions before the performances:


To qualify: Lithuania, Malta, Norway, Azerbaijan, Iceland, Israel, Latvia, Poland, Slovenia, Sweden

Eliminated: Czech Rep., Ireland, Montenegro, Portugal, San Marino, Cyprus, Switzerland

And now my predictions after the performances:

To qualify: Lithuania, Malta, Norway, Azerbaijan, Switzerland, Israel, Latvia, Poland, Slovenia, Sweden

Eliminated: Czech Rep., Ireland, Montenegro, Portugal, San Marino, Cyprus, Iceland

I'm moving Switzerland into the qualifier bracket in place of Iceland.

I think Ireland are definitely out of it. I see us scrapping with Poland, Cyprus and Lithuania for a spot and I think the sad story of Poland and the love story of Lithuania will put them over the edge. Cyprus I see as borderline but I think it will just miss out.

I think Molly's problem is that she didn't stand out vocally, and the song was just not as memorable as the rest.

If ireland qualify ill do a lap of tullamore in the nip..

T0001

If we look at qualification, 40 points seems to be the magic number over the last 5 years anyway. Could see a top 3 placing in Australia and UK so maybe 16-20 points there, but then who else will go for it? Slovenia may go for it, they have in the past and Scandanavians likes the Netherlands the last 2 years with similar styles so maybe another 10-15 points there. Lithuania often return some of disporia voting we send so maybe 3/4 from them. After that you hoping to sneeak into the top 10 in maybe 3 of the remaining 10 countries for maybe 6 points or so.

That would give 34-45 which could be enough considering San Marino are likely to plummet possibly null points

Andersonisgod

These videos make me despise Austria and it's people.

hmmm

I get it - the most famous Austrian is the man who invented the typewriter. No need to keep telling us in such a desperate fashion.

EB_2013

What about the Austrian that nearly destroyed Europe.

bottlebrush

No mention of Mozart at all

Then again, what possible influence could he have had on good music...
