Well, it's the international jurors who decide in the first place who proceeds to the speed voting.... they could also vote for Celina Ann and Dawa.....
Nah, I'm pretty sure it's 50/50. And the super final is telvoting only.

its 50% jury and 50% televoters and then superfinal with 100% televoters.
Well, I guess then the superfinal is won by the act that won the televoting before...... which makes it meaningless
Well no not always, in a 2 song super final usually the least offensive song wins. Estonia 2014 for example, Tanja didn't win the televote in the first part of the final, but still managed to win in the super final.

obviously the thought behind this is that the televoters decide the winner and not the jury. the winner of the first televoting does not necessarily be among the two top songs. the second televoting does not necessarily have the same winner as the first one. however, we will see next friday.....

I'm not posting any "internal details". The fact that I'm a juror is a known fact because we had the permission to write it on Eurofestival News and there's an article about that. Stop, there is nothing else here or something "secret" I cannot say. I don't say what I cannot say. The fact that you find this irritating is your problem and it's silly.
And the most important thing is: I'm only ONE among many jurors (Eurofestival News is counted like one juror, and we decided to send only one chart for the site. So our chart is made by five different charts. And the chart of Eurofestival News will be added to other four charts to become the italian votes).

but it's funny that zoe's song is available at 12.3.2015. so maybe thats the reason why it is one of the lower ones

Among the coaches, Nazar made the best impression on me, yet the guys from The BossHoss kept talking all the time. :roll: Whenever Nazar is critical of something, he expresses constructive criticism and he is able to justify his opinions. I would have appreciated more coaches like him.
As far as the songs are concerned, overall I think they made the right choice. In the case of Folkshilfe, it doesn't really matter anyway, what specific flavor of crap is chosen. Nevertheless, I have to agree with Nazar that the guys from Folkshilfe are more likely to become a commercial success in Austria than the other acts because they (unfortunately) represent the kind of music many Austrians like.
JSB are not as good as they could have been but I'm still in favor of them because of their concept and I enjoy their style of music. Otherwise I favor Dawa. They are interesting because they offer something different but I think they might generally be better suited for smaller stages and events. I think these two acts are also most likely not to drown among their competition in the grand final.
Folkshilfe could also draw attention, of course, the same way a floating turd does.

its just not very professional for a jury member to post comments on single acts before the show is aired.

I listened to all songs and I must say that there arent that strong songs at the end, but I have to favour: Folkshilfe with "Who you are" and Zoé with "Quel Filou" .. The rest is just blah. I simply hope that JSB doesnt win, it's not a good song and the Makemakes song is just another ballad :/

I know about the ballad-overload in Eurovision...but damn "I Am Yours" is such a great song! Elton John meets John Lennon in this retro ballad that will be in my top 10 in my Eurovision-ranking if chosen! Love this a lot
