Melodifestivalen 2012

Hehe... unfortunately I can't, as I at the moment only have a crappy iPad (not possible to upload files). But I'm buying a new computer soon, and then I'll upload an insanely nice avatar

I'm not on a creative mood right now, it's late and all. So for now my avatar shall be Marija Serifovic and Molitva, my favourite Eurovision song, like, ever! (She has an amazing voice btw)

She stole that win from Verka!

Yes,and the best digitally enhanced photo since Hans Holbein painted Anne of Cleves..

Bet365 have Danny @4.50 (no doubt due to the AB-Poll), while Ladbrokes have Loreen @1.45. Could make for a nice combination play.

Edit: NordicBet have Danny @5.00, even better! And Loreen @1.15 - crazy!

Any gossip from within Sweden then Squall?

Not that I know of

SvS have come out with a lot of odds now. Some of them look pretty nice, but as they have a looooot of juice they're few and far between.

Is it pretty much accepted now that Loreen will win or are people still considering a shock?

can we bet on the outcome of Russia's final tomorrow? Cant find anywhere.. do I need to stick with Melodifestival now? :/ Nothing too lucrative in Melodifestival betting though :/

I've never known betting for the Russian final. I'm looking forward to it though

Really hard to say what general consensus is - I think the odds would pretty much reflect it though (ie around 70-80%) chance of Loreen victory. Apprently Christer Björkman hasn't given up on Danny though, and I haven't either. Although I hold Loreen as favorite.

Seems like everyone thinks who ever wins (Danny or Loreen. I dont think anyone else has a chance) wins and goes to Baku will be a strong contender. Seems like I'm the only one who thinks Danny's song is very mediocre at best, and forgettable. He has a decent show on the stage, but the song itself it rather poor. I dont see it getting huge following with juries either. Strange.. so either I'm somehow misjudging that song, or everyone else is. I like to think everyone else is, but I guess need to keep the other option open also :/ Loreen on the other hand I get. I can see it going all the way in fact.

Heh. Svenskaspel has Danny to win @4.25, but to beat Loreen he's @5.89. She's that hard to beat, huh? ;)

I think Danny's song is a decent pop song, Archi. When I first heard it though I wasn't impressed at all until... the "hook" grabbed at my brain. Even now I can't get the fucking thing out of my head. "Amazing... amazing... awesome.... fucking amazing..."

Loreen for me is all about quality. Top notch, superhuman, quality. I LOVE THAT WOMAN.

Now @ Stockholm: Looks like the two horse race is really on. I still think Danny is going to win this and I really cannot understand how Loreen has such a big difference in odds. It doesnt make sense and in any case both songs are gonna be very close. Danny at 4,20 today - looks great. Especially after Loreens incident today - she was transfered to the hospital due to some kind of virus and I dont know how this is gonna affect her.

Have layed off my loreen bet for a small profit. Not liking the fact that Danny is last to perform. The value bet is Danny, now 6.6 on betfair.

Oh no... Danny has also become ill, apparently with throat problems :( kind of sucks. Feel bad for him as well, as this was his chance to show he could actually sing the song well.

Ulrik Munther is also ill.

Apparently, Danny nailed the singing perfectly in tonight's rehearsals. Doubly important, as the juries vote on this performance (I'm told).

Let's see if we can get an upset in the audience vote... anything less than a 10 percentage point lead for Loreen is an upset, imo.

source?

Do we get videos too?

Swedish, I'm afraid. Nope, no video (believe it's not allowed).

I've increased my already humoungus (sp?) pos on Danny @6.00 in hope of the audience vote upset.
