alca said:^ I agree! There is no way she can win again and if you ask me she's being arrogant!
She won, she knows she can't win again so she should let someone else try their luck in ESC.
But look all the "champions" that returned!charlesf said:Don't be ridiculous. A Wimbledon champion has every right and is indeed expected to defend his title.
There's no written or unwritten rule against an ESC winner defending his or her title. You can then decide whether you wish to vote for her or not. Entirely up to you.
Yes, that is exactly why I think this is a bad idea, it could even beat Norway as the worst result a host country has done and add to that list. Now all we need is Dima to go again for Russia and we will have another returning winner as well.alca said:But look all the "champions" that returned!charlesf said:Don't be ridiculous.

Carola - Sweden 2006 - 5th place
Charlotte Perrelli - Sweden - 2008 - 18th
Niamh Kavanagh - Ireland - 2010 - 23rd
Not to mention the ones back in the 50's but those were different times...
I wouldn't vote for Chiara unless she had a damn good song regardless of how many times she shows upalca said:Well I didn't mention Chiara coz she didn't win. But if she keeps returning the eurofans will get sick of her and finally give her the victory she wants!![]()
alca said:No you got me wrong. I don't dislike her and I adore her song. The fact that she's so young may affect her judgement. If the people behind her make her believe she can win again (well in the future maybe but not right after her victory) and she doesn't, that would devastate her!
And of course if people like her, she'll win again. But honestly I've seen it so many times. People who got a great result (I'm talking mostly about the NFs) and return again, don't get many votes.

I think it would be a disaster for Lena to return./
And if she does indeed return I bet she won't even enter top 10. But let's withhold all official betting until we have a song if she returns.charlesf said:paddyirl said:Carola is the only successful winner to have returned recently.

I'll bet you 100 bucks that she'll make the Top5.![]()
