Making your mind up! - Juliana Pasha from Albania

Making your mind up! - Juliana Pasha from Albania, originally uploaded by CharlesFred.

Today is a most important day for the 55th running of the Eurovision Song Contest, which we will be watching with some friends at home, for whom I am supposed to be catering...

I used to get as excited as I am now on teh morning of The Grand National and even The Derby, but now it is Eurovision!

Here is my pre-perfomance top ten:


12 Albania www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGMTZS56Ikw
10 Serbia www.youtube.com/watch?v=DC7L6SDPL4A

8 Moldova www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkmncrAPILw
7 Azerbaijan
6 France
5 Romania
4 Greece
3 Turkey
2 Ukraine
1 Belgium

Something like that - positions will probably change after the performances.

In the meantime, I think the eventual top 5 will be: Armenia, Turkey, Israel, Greece and Denmark, partly due to diaspora voting and partly due to the running order. I think Moldova might surprise with a high finishing position.

Oh, and if anyomne outside wants to join us in watching - there is a live webstream on this link: www.eurovision.tv/esctv/future?source=PromoBl ock&medi...
