UNITED KINGDOM 2013 - Bonnie Tyler - Believe In Me

[angry]

that would be nice, if she rest her voice

 

[QwaarJet]

I would be shocked into cardiac arrest if that troubles the top 10.

Feel free to ignore that. After seeing tonight's semi and the what songs got through, I'm actually thinking 11th to 15th with a possible lower top 10 placing if some countries screw up their performance.

 

[Yamarus]

Yup, I see a very good placing for Bonnie considering what she's up against. Plus she's in the second half. I think lower top 10 is a definite possibility!

#15 between Romania and Sweden, not sure whether that's disastrous or brilliant...

Following Engelbert's result last year, Bonnie has had to put up with a lot of nastiness thrown her way. But what I love about Bonnie is her sassy attitude, and the way she can perform like a pro, despite the many, many tirades against her. I hope she can secure a Top 5. I hope the Balkan vote swings her way. She's a very classy, mature act compared to many of the tweens in this contest.

#15 between Romania and Sweden, not sure whether that's disastrous or brilliant...

I honestly don't know, I feel numb about it, its not great or terrible.

That's kind of scary because it seems to be in a patch of whatever and can easily get lost or forgotten after all the big hitters come. I actually think a top half draw yet surrounded by countries that people consider contenders or noticeable (ex: Russia-Germany-Netherlands) is actually better.

It kind of feels like a huge waste and let down after being excited it got in the second half of the draw. I somehow feel a little more worried and less confident then before but I still hope for the best, we just got to wait and see.

Scott Mills on top form again last night. Spewing rubbish from the mouth, dissing Valentina then acting shocked when his guests enjoyed her. Also I take back what I said about Ana. I'm not liking her at all anymore. Theres someone about her that seems... I don't know. Off? She made that poor Lithuanian guy feel really awkward, talking about the moles on his face.. and you weren't "loving" his song yesterday either. She and Scott were taking the p**s out of it.

I wish there was a way to mute commentatorsX-OI I missed Agnes performing and instead had to listen to two jokers being not very funny.

 

[eddyegghead]

Just watch online at eurovision.tv instead. It's commentary-free.

 

[aletem]

My friends will be voting for her! Hopefully she will reach a top5 and it will be a throwback at Bjorkman's face for putting her at #15!

 

[eugoose]

She and Scott were taking the p**s out of it.

I don't mind Graham Norton's commentary because he's a comedian - Scott and Ana aren't comedians, and some of the stuff they try and make out to be funny can come off as rude and in poor form. The funny thing, is that Scott Mills actually liked Valentina's entry last year...

Best commentary ever has to be Julia Zemiro and Sam Pang. They say some very, very funny things about every act. It's a shame they don't have a version floating about online - I still remember their comments about Paradise Osakar from Finland having to go first in the draw because the ESC was past his bedtime. LOL.

I Believe in You Bonnie!
I can't stop singing this song... its stuck in my head
Good Luck

Any pool which puts Scooch above Jade and Imanni seriously lacks credibility. Who voted? It looks like a load of idiot queens.

 

[Leydan]

we're going to sing 15th... oh dear. At least we're not directly before Denmark. I was hoping for at least 20 spot.

No surprise Bucks Fizz won as it largely informs most people in the UK what people think of ESC

I thought you would be closing the show but can stand out between and And it's not so close to the bunch of favourites singing by the end so it might be a good draw after all.

 

[Jeansy]

I've seen a few posts like this,and I'm confused can someone explain why singing 19th 20th 21st place is better than 15th?

 

[Synergise]

I was a bit disappointed with the draw at first, but really it's not a bad position. If we'd been given 17 I would have been really happy because it's been a winning position recently. Really, 15 is that different from 17 in the grand scheme of things. That, and it'll definitely stand out from Cezar XD

 

[Leydan]

If we would of been 14th and Romania 15th then we would of had trouble. Romania's song might of drowned us out and make us forgettable.
