Eurovision 2015 rehearsals in Austria.

Molly Sterling [Irish entry] has just performed her first rehearsal [of her song Playing With Numbers] at Eurovision. Reaction from media is her vocals and the staging were excellent. Molly just needs to engage the camera a bit more. Despite being odds against I think this has a great chance of getting through. The jurors may vote it in their top 5 and it stands out. Poorly drawn in slot 2 though….

Few odds the gang might like to throw a flutter on…
Israel to finish in the top ten in final (found odds of 6/1)
Macedonia to qualify from semis (1.7/1)
Montonegro to qualify (1.8/1)
All with Betfair
Odds on who might win:
Favourites to win are Sweden and Italy
Best odds are from Ladbrokes 2/1 for Sweden and Betfair Italy 3/1
This is not good for the Yes vote
Needs more butter maids
Oh yes. I just have to eh, pop out for five minutes.
Watch the Netherlands backstage video. Makes Poland look like they were Nuns in their Habit…
It is not a good song but its a pretty crap year in general (yes I’m a eurovision fan and have the 2015 album to prove it!) so I guess it has a small chance of getting into the final.
You have a Eurovision album. You have a… Euro….Vision…. album.
Jesus.
I jsut download the songs. This is a good year for songs. I think Molly will do well top 15 definitely. Only two things stood out – she seems nervous and the camera angles are a bit dodge….
We are having a knees up this year!

PS the same view is the one as Eurovision Ireland put out!
The camera angles here won’t be the angles on the night. The people in the media centre saw the real angles and apparently they worked really well.
Personally I like the song. The draw is a pain but after Lithuania (cheese) and before San Marino (just dreadful) it may well stand out. We’ll finish between 8th and 12th in the semi and I think it will be closer to 8th.
Thank feck for that!
Are you over with Eurovision Ireland and the gang?
I like Lithuania, the San Marino song is the equivelant of having Herpes, just horrible…
No, no. I’m just a punter. I do a bit of tipping for a newspaper too alright.
Norway is my favourite this year and have a funny feeling Russia will do very very well.
Cool :) Norway is a firm favourite. Russia will be hit by the politics of it all. I think the dark horses are Australia dn Slovenia this year . In one fan poll Slovenia and Norway are tops. Gonna be a good year for the bookies, its the most wide open competition since 2011
Keep a watch on the Czech Republic I’d say. Reactions in the press room were better than Ireland (Molly got a round of applause after every run through, few others did), and from what little I’ve seen of the staging, it’s going to quite good.
Phew for a minute there I thought you linking to Keith Mills group, and I’d want nothing to do with him or his mates. Norway’s rehearsal was quite dull, no?
Yeah, terrible rehearsal (vocals were fine). But there was rumours of spectacular costumes so if that comes in on second rehearsals and they get some pyro going then the 45/1 available now could be very big. If they don’t they have no chance.
… It means nothing to me. This means nothing to me. Oh, my comment.
Molly always sounds a bit drunk when she’s singing; an eyeeee, an eyeeee, played with me numbers. Burp. Anyway, hopefully she makes the final and does well.
… https://youtu.be/xckgLUv73Jc <- If you look closely, John Moynes is dancing around her. What a performance.
She was the real winner in 2013. I gave her 12 points.
Ha. That gave me a belly laugh. If Molly qualifies and finishes top 15 it would be a good result.
Don’t be reminding me of that Moldova song. I had a small fortune on top 10 at 10/1. Finished 11th and only relegated out of the top 10 on the last vote. Woe was me. That whole year was a disaster punting wise. I was on Greece top 5 at 10/1 (6th) and Norway to win (4th).
