I've been ruminating on entering this into Necro's Best Eurovision Song tournament. A forerunner to Gangsta Style, it's Poland in 2012. A firm favourite in this house:

Necro

We have to lose that sax solo!

Mollyb60

Ok we're just about to get started, if I muck up your votes please let me know. There were a variety of different scoring methods from our judges so I used best judgement to ascertain which way you wanted the votes to go.

Mollyb60

Mollyb60

Ok lets go!

Ok so the first batch of votes has been received from the Homerian Jury. And to start off our night Homer has awarded the following countries his first 8 points:

1 point|Germany|
2 points|Switzerland|
3 points|Lithuania|
4 points|Russia|
5 points|Iceland|
6 points|Ireland|
7 points|France|
8 points|Ukraine|

His 10 Points go to…….

Kolido

I can remember who got my 12 points but can't recall the the rest.

I'd be very surprised...

I'll be introducing a much needed degree of sense shortly.

JP Liz V1

I feel I really should have dressed up, colourful

ari101

Well I'm hoping the thanks for my vote reveal mean there are a few more douze points for CH!

Picked it out half way through my first listen, and despite an initial staging worry, I did not waiver

Can't believe it didn't get through to the final.

Croatia is pretty good, in fairness. That and Romania were surprise non-qualifiers for me.

Yeah, it wasn't a favourite of mine but I had it pegged to qualify to. But who knows, I gave Czechia 10 points... wouldn't trust me to have a finger on the pulse

Mollyb60

So after 5 rounds we have a good block at the top of the table emerging. I'll do a full table at the half way point. Next we're onto the votes of the Wolfcastle Jury.

1 point|Finland|
2 points|Lithuania|
3 points|Ireland|
4 points|Romania|
5 points|The Netherlands|
6 points|France|
7 points|Belgium|
8 points|Italy|

12 Points to Dadi moves them up a little, but not much.
1|Italy |33|
2|Switzerland|29|

5|Ireland|21|
6|Romania|18|
7|Finland|17|

Kolido loves a good glittery purple leotard. Who knew? How has that affected our scores? Not much. Iceland and Ireland are doing a little dance mid table but Italy still holds on.
1|Italy |33|
2|Switzerland|29|
3|Ireland|28|

4 countries all on 15 points to finish out the top of the table. 18 points seperate them from Italy.

Our current leaders ITALY


And all the 12 eggs are going into the basket of...

Italy pulls a bit further away from the group. Ireland are catching up on Switzerland in second place.
1|Italy |43|
2|Switzerland|37|
3|Ireland|34|
4|Belgium|28|
5|Iceland|24|
6|Finland|23|
7|Romania|22|

Russia hangs on at the bottom of the top 10, Azerbaijan, Croatia and the UK all fall behind. Next up is Cee-Jay's votes and a full table for the half way mark!


*this post does not hold any responsibility for comparisons drawn between the lovely ASLB and any Russian Grannies, real or fictional.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Ukraine finally getting the respect they deserve in this tournament... Should be getting 12 points from everyone, not just me...

Failing a victory from Ukraine, I'm glad to see Italy hanging in there at #1 at the halfway point.

I will go back and check it, cant recall much.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Despite Molly's comparisons, Russia the only country in the current Top 10 I didn't award any points to... :pac:

EDIT: oh, I also didn't give points to Iceland, but they were who I would have had in 11th place actually...

The Czech song was one of four "honourable mentions" that just missed out on my top ten. Shame he didn't sound so good live though!

In order to get the true winner of the contest, may I suggest removing all the Ireland voters...

Let the, objective, big boys and girls take it from here.


The rest can partake in the Junior Eurovision.

There was a time when nice slow ballada were the heart and soul of Eurovision...

You bloody kids these days, just want loud flashy noise...

***Checks the loud, flashy, noisy songs I rated 1st and 2nd***

Ukraine and Italy...

Yeah, well whatever, I like the ballady ones too...
