I wish very good luck to Eliza tomorrow! I just love Ela, she's so adorable. She gave an interview in Polish and she was so sweet!

That's easily explained. Those who called for Elaiza were SO proud that they kicked out Unheilig and other contestants. It was just about annoying the "established" bands. In such a telephone voting no one cares about success at the ESC they just think from 12 o'clock till noon.

That's definitely not the whole truth. There were lots of people who voted for them because they liked the song and because these girls are really cute and charming. The audience always loves underdogs. It was not the song itself which made them winners, it was the whole performance. If they can carry the spirit of the NF to Copenhagen they'll have a chance for a good placement. If they can't create a magic moment they will go down tomorrow.

And let's be honest: it's never just about the best song, it's about the combination of a good song and the artist; the most important things in every artist are authenticity and credibility. Authenticity is one of the main reasons Lena won in 2010. Not just because of "Satellite" and certainly not because she was the best singer.
IMHO Elaiza are very authentic as well. Compare it to Cascada: there was no authenticity at all and that's why they sucked - not just because of the song.

Elaiza have to perform between Austria and Sweden? The song is incrdibly boring to begin with, but now it'll be smashed between Austria and Sweden. No chance for a decent placement anymore, because this song is so forgettable. It might be an achievement for our entry to not finish last xshrug

Gurls stop crying please :D
The draw isn't that bad when you think about it ... people will tune in for :at: & they might see :de: as well! "Is it right" still does very well on itunes ... not only in Austria and Switzerland ...
People ...please ... they will never come last. You must be kidding. Think a bit positive!

They changed the background and the camera work for the first dress rehearsal.
There are just too many paper streams at the end of the performance. :mrgreen:

I wouldn't worry about the draw. Just because two popular ballads come before and after Germany will not affect its odds, totally different songs and styles. People are smart enough to like two or three songs in a row, it happens all the time.

That being said, I still expect Germany in the Bottom 5 as the song is incredibly weak, after the disastrous NF we can only blame ourselves though.

I'll be stunned if this escaped bottom 5.

Oh Santiano, where art thou...

They are apparently still altering graphics. Even at this late stage.

I don't know if Santiano really had better chances. I really like them, but maybe in this field they would look a bit infantile.

Matt: After the glamorous Conchita this seems a little less exciting. And they get all tangled up the the streamers during the last chorus. I don't know about this one and whether or not the juries will go for it.
Ahmet: Average performance and I think she was too serious, she didn't smile enough the way like she usually does. I didn't feel the energy.

How badly did getting tangled up in the streamers hurt them vocally :?

I know it kind of hurts the overall impression a bit but this isn't one of the favorites and I would hate it if they used this as an excuse to rank them lower then they might have before :(

After I've heard that we have to perform between two strong acts I gave it up to hope that we'll be doing better then bottom 5...
But I like them very much besides the final result! ;)

Matt: Ruth is on fire...well actually she's quite wet (part of the effect). Beautiful stage, the rain effect is great and she gave it her all. The juries will be very happy with that performance.
Ahmet: Her voice was fantastic and they paid attention to detail. Her her looks wet as she is Standing in the rain!
