Wahhoooooo Switzerland deserve those 12 points!
And no points to the UK AGAIN!!! How hilarious (good luck andy!)
- Hero
Jesus, calm down! Do you really think that Charlotte lawyers can prosecute someone for talking about Charlotte's botox??!! What rubbish!! 
What are you on!!!!!!!!!
(and as you said to me once, "is this a courtroom or something" )
Well done Romania!
@ cro-boy
Shut up? I can say what I like about the Croatian entry and I think it is awful. I like the old guy yelling because it's funny but it is still an awful song.
Go ahead and hate the Irish entry, I don't care. I know that I like it and that your comment is perfectly valid for you, I don't need to tell people to shut up - I'm above that.
shut up DannyT, if u hate song, dont comment it- ignore it. i hate urs "song" and this is my first sentence about that irish crap!
Obviously there are plenty of Croatian on the Austrian OGAE jury
Wow, I like this top10! If only Switzerland weren't there. 
And I'm a bit surprised that Romania are that high. But great for Sweden and Norway. And Azerbaijan! A much underrated song, I think... and I'm so happy that Croatia got some points! It's one of my favourites this year and no one else seems to like it.
how cares what austria votes! why dont you write about reasons for their withdrawing ?
Switzerland won't qualify for sure.
Germany is a very special case in Eurovision - other countries were pushed by their neighbour countries...
Switzerland and Austria aren't our friends in the Contest... They even crashed our victories in 1981 for Lena Valaitis and 1985 for Wind by not giving us a single point when other countries awarded us often the "douze points"...
Switzerland might suprise and win this year.
Hm, I'm getting tired of all these childish comments from certain people. I just hope that the best man or women will win. I really like Hero and I think Charlotte is an excellent performer. But on the other side I also love France, Bosnia and Norway.
There are some really crappy songs in this contest according to me but why should I get at kick of complaining and write nasty comments about them....I stand above that, why can't you?
@ Marsha, I hope it does. The song is really nothing special and Charlotte's fans are really exaggerating, invading each and every topic with their comments about Sweden being the winner and vote for Sweden and blah blah blah. This doesn't do their "hero" any good.
Oh Hero, Zingo, Night of musical comedy and others,
Don't you worry, we will shout your Charlotte off the stage in Belgrade. I will ask her personally wich Botox clinic she goes to. And if it's true that she was a guy 15 years before, and more, listening again to her nasty commend last year about so many other entries, I think she should stand the commends she gets now...
oh, the losers vote too?
Hmm....silly.
No participation = NO OGAE/ESC VOTING!
austria is just scary cat, how can they vote.
LOL, you are the best comedian on Earth. If you are gonna write 'a strong letter' against me, I know enough members here that are tired of you. And we will able to flood the ESCtoday redaction with letters if we want.
Besides that, do you think ESCtoday would sue me just for a few comments here? There's a disclaimer, and they are not responsible for our reactions here. No website is gonna invest any money in lawyers and such for this reason. They would be in bankrupt by now, dear. No lawyer would waste his time for some comments in a public forum. This might work this way in your fantasy, but no in the real world.
@ hero.
That was the joke of the night lol
this fuss about sweden is going to destroy it
Hero., just stop this comedy. It's obvious to everybody Zingo star and you are the same person. There's no need to log off and account and log in the other anymore. You're gonna be crazy!
Zingo Star, watch your mouth. There was no wrong with Garry's post below.
surprise 
woo! she came fourth is the journey from hero to zero beginning
