i will try my best to stay away from the fb and twitter to not get spoiled. The semi will be during the day here in US. I will wait till i get home and watch it on Russian tv archives.
i can't watch it at work anyway, no admin rights means no octoshape means no official stream :(
ah well... it will be just few hours :)
Good luck to everybody!
Go Babushki!

Hey, it's my first post in this forum!

Is there any worksheets that we could use while watching? BBC were publishing it every year but couldn't find it in their websiteç

Sorry to any Cypriotic fans out there but Ivi can't sing at all at the same time as she's doing all these dance moves. I've only seen 15 seconds of her clip from last night but it pains me to see her up on the stage. She can't keep up her breath and that's really gonna her song and her singing.

Just have to add there is no way the winner of ESC 2012 is from this semi final especially looking at what Italy and maybe Spain is bringing to the final.

I've just read on Twitter that jury results have been leaked. According to that Montenegro came last and San Marino, second last. Spain gave 10 points to Romania and 12 points to Iceland. Anyone else know more about this?

I'm just curious, but we all know that we have "leaks" every year and they are always untrue...

Well that Montenegro would come last in juries is obvious, but honestly I even don't think the EBU will have all votes, don't know
and who leaked it?
If someone says on twitter: Iceland won jury voting, everyone would believe it, because it's possible

I'll keep fingers crossed for Anmary and my country. Maybe it's time to get trough to the final after 3 years staying in semi. I understand - chances are not high, but believe is alive.
Also the best wishes and possible my vote to Pernilla.
Good luck and the best performance to all entries, maybe a little more to Montenegro, rising high for me in recent days. Also Iceland, Austria, San Marino...

That's what I'd like to know. They say it's an "unofficial leak". They also say that Austria didn't do so bad with the juries and they have chances if they do well with televoting and that Romania was in top-10 with juries.

True or false, I'm curious to know everything!

That Sounds good, keep my fingers crossed for Austria. They deserve it :) and it would be suprising, if the juries haven't been that serious and give Austria some points :)

Yes! Today, the 22th may 2012, we are writing new EUROVISION SONG CONTEST history :D
21.00 CET tonight we are starting worlds biggest music party!
Ofcourse im going to watch, im not sure if im going to watch it all because i have important things to do but we'll see..
I am very intrested how the design is going to look like, postcards and ofcourse the 10 countrys that is going to qualify and their startingnumber! Better save nr 26 for :se:!

I think these 10 countrys is going to qualify tonight, ofcourse i think it will be a drama someone of these countrys that everyone thought would calify is going to fail. I think Greece is going to fail tonight for first time, or Ireland. But anything can happen! I am not sure if Russia is going to be popular with the jury.

Iceland :is:
Cyprus :cy:
Russia :ru:
Ireland :ie:
Denmark :dk:
Romania :ro:
Greece :gr:
Finland :fi:
Moldova :md:
Switzerland :ch:
