Eurovision 2008 Prognosis

Ani Lorak ESC 2008 Semi-finalThe accredited journalists at this year Eurovision Song Contest estimate that the Greek J. Lo, Kalomoira and Russian Dima Bilan are no longer on top of the Eurovision favorites list.

A survey that included more than 2000 journalists at the Eurovision press centre predicts that Ukrainian entrant Ani Lorak will be the winner of Eurovision 2008.

Her song “Shady Lady” has won 11,9% of votes in the official survey while Serbian representative Jelena Tomašević, with “Oro” got only one vote less.

Portuguese Vânia Fernandes won third place with her powerful voice, with just two votes difference from Jelena.

Young Israeli singer Boaz Mauda is on fourth place (with 8,7% of votes), followed by ex Eurovision winner Charlotte Perelli, with one vote difference.

7,7% of the journalists voted for Azerbaijani angel and devil, Elnur Houseynov and Samir Javadzade, and therefore placed them on the six place, ahead of Kalomoira who received 7,5% of all the votes.

Turkish “ultra-violet” rock band Mor Ve Otesi beat the big Russian Dima with 16 points difference leaving him at ninth place.

The last of the ten favorites, is Georgian Diana Gurtskaya, who won 5,7% of the journalists votes

The official survey conducted among the journalists before the first semi-final has proven to be incredibly precise because they guessed nine out of ten finalists.

    I wd love to see Portugal is 1st place but commercial songs tend to take the lead, however i like the Ukrainian song.

    LISBOA 2009, LETS MAKE IT TRUE

    A todos os porugueses e falantes da lingua portuguese ‘e favor the apoiar esse pais que tanto merece e ‘e esqueci pelo mundo.

    Pela beleza, pela lingua, pela cultura…Portugal.

    Where is Sweden “Hero” the best song ever!!!
    Oh, out of the light
    Like a star, like a hero
    Love will survive
    Oh, taking the fight
    Is the life of a hero
    Staying alive
    This is a story
    Of love and compassion
    Only heroes can tell
    Oh, out of the light
    Like a star, like a hero
    Love will survive

    Löööv it !!! <3

    Russia had a really good song, and Dima is a great singer, and Plushenko and Edvin Marton were great.. That song and preformance had something beautiful and strong in it… I’m glad Russia won…**
