Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

Here it is! The incorruptible, infallible and most reliable Blogilkar's Home Jury made of people in their teens, 20's, 30's, 40's and 50's, mainly Finnish and mainly those who turn into Eurovision only on that one Saturday night, enjoy the show and that's it. Most everyone heard the songs for the first time so this was a true first impression judgement. And thus they had no idea about the fan polls, betting odds and trivial information and expectations. And boy did they turn those pools and odds around mostly, sinking some major favorites and enjoying some real underdogs. I will countdown the full ranking day by day until we have our winner out just before Liverpool is in full swing. This year I publish very few comments or opinions. Just the average score (we voted 1 to 10). In short this year is considered a bit poor by the jurors compared to for example last year and it may show in the somewhat low scores. Anyways: Enjoy! 9. IRELAND - Wild Youth - We are one ...

Ireland, once the Eurovision powerhouse hosted last night a rather low key national final as part of The Late Late Show that reminded a lot Alfa Tv's Syksyn Sävel productions, those very few Finns who watched that channel before it went to bankrupt  know what I mean. lol. And yes, Ireland chose a most generic boyband song with a title borriwed from an old Eurovision slogan made in Sweden and most likely won't reach the final in Liverpool this time either..... Below is the voting (international jury + national jury + televote): 1. Wild Youth - We are one (10 + 12 + 12) 36 2. Connolly - Midnight summer night (12 + 10 + 10) 32 3. K Muni and ND - Down in the rain (4 + 8 + 8) 20 4. Public Image Ltd - Hawaii (6 + 6 + 6) 18 5. Adgy - Too good for your love (8 + 4 + 4) 16 6. Leila Jane - Wild (2 + 2 + 2) 6
