Running order for 2013

[Trece]

you mean UNbelievable?

believable. This song DOESN'T has catchy, repetitive chorus (like Running Scared), if you could sing "Mooolitvaaa" or "I'm in loooove.... blabla fairytaaale" or "Hard Rock Halleluiaaaa" or "Euphoriaaa", i don't see in Gravity such part

 

[Trece]

I never said that Gravity and Ukrainian entry is bad at all. Just it doesn't sound like a winning song at all

 

[Narmina]

Just it doesn't sound like a winning song at all

boriiiiiiiiiing I hope it won't win

 

[Trece]

Although I don't mind if Eurovision will be in Ukraine

 

[LakZaNokte]

last year in the semi:
we were after slovenia and before sweden (fov to win)

this year in semi:
after slovenia and before denmark (one of the favs)

seriously? 2

anyways, being 4th sucks, but, unlike last year, slovenia and croatia have very different songs, so we'll see if we will have different results as well

me too, I haven't problems with any country of ESC area, trying to judge only and only songs

yes, i also judge songs, so i don't like Gravity and don't see it as winner even if its from Ukraine
And i never was a fan of Sweden before Euphoria, and in 2013 again i don't like Swedish entry (:?)

I don't understand what's bad being before/after a commercial break?

 

[JackBauer]

I m crazy but i think the first 8 in the first semi could all qualify.

The last 8 have all serious things going against them, in terms of song and NF performances that i can see them miss. Except Serbia
and Cyprus but with so many good ballads Cyprus is note safe.

Semi two is quite awful.

Televoting patern showed it s bas to be after the break

 

[KingOfKaroke]

The running order looks alright to me, although I'm unsure about whether Romania is a strong enough entry to close a show. I think Holland may struggle. Of course EuroVision is one of the most unpredictable things there is so who knows. What I am sure of about this running order is that a) somebody will be upset and b) I bet at least 1 country that fails to qualify will blame the running order.

 

[NikkiBoy]

Austria is my number 1, Startnumber is 1 and she will be number 1

A lot of people may go to the toilet/grab a drink/flick through the channels during the ad break and then miss the next song afterwards.

No idea what the problem could be going before, mind.

 

[Knubelznarm]

I think San Marino will be fighting for the last place. Not just saying this because I'm tired of the hype, but because it will be completely forgotten in the show.

People vote after show during recap which help to remember all songs. In psychology, there is a "factor of the edge" which proves that the most remembered the extreme (first and last) things (performances)

Yeah but the stats (at least for the final) clearly show later is better.

Exactly, for casual viewers it's much easier to not only remember the last songs, but also the first ones, as they have the mark of being the first ones. I can't see how some people don't realize this!

 

[DanielLuis]

But the final has 26 songs, while the semis have 16 or 17, and that definetely makes a huge impact, as it's obviously harder to remember the earlier songs in the final.

Correct, having an early draw is better than a draw somewhere in the middle. A draw at the end is still by far the best option. Unfortunately there are a lot people who tune in late missing the first few songs so that kinda sucks.
