Ukraine or Russia or .....?

The first two dress-rehearsals of the final today and not a lot happened. There seem to be two clear favourites. The first one is Ukraine, the other one Russia. Portugal got a huge reaction in the hall and was voted the favourite of the press today as well. Host country Serbia might not win, but a top 5 is possible.

Top 10 is possible for Sweden, Armenia, Turkey, Romania, Greece and Denmark. The big $ (I mean 4) will probably be in the bottom of the table again, however Spain and perhaps the UK will not be bottom 5 like usual. From the semi-countries Poland and Albania didn't make a strong impression today.

We'll see what will happen tomorrow. In our poll over at the Dutch language site (see here) Portugal (17,7%) has increased its lead after 550 votes. Turkey (10,4%) has taken over the second place from Sweden (10,2%). Israel (7,1%), Armenia (6,9%) and Ukraine (6,7%) follow in 4th to 6th position. The UK, Georgia and Azerbaijan (all 0,7%) have taken the last three positions at the moment.

That said, have fun tomorrow night and vote for the song(s) you like.
