Germany, Turkey, Azerbaijan or Israel?

Armenia emerging as front runner

According to the first indications of the esctoday.com BigPoll, Armenia is emerging as a front runner to win the Eurovision Song Contest in Oslo. The country has been steadily gaining in polls all week. Germany, Azerbaijan, Turkey and Israel are all in the frame to win the crown.

The first indications show Armenia and Azerbaijan locked together in a close race for the title, along with Germany, Israel and Turkey who are also gaining pace in the polls. Belgium, Denmark, Greece, Iceland and ROmania are all in with a chance of victory according to the first predictions.

Whilst predictions have only just begun for the final, early indications are showing that the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest winner is likely to take fewer votes than in the last three years as votes are spread more evenly across leading countries.

Readers are reminded that you should predict how your own country votes. Take into consideration how the juries may effect the outcome and voting tendencies. Prizes for the closest predictions will be awarded after the contest.

Armenia doesn't deserve to win while the singer was off tone and the lyrics really bad, and she didn't seem to have a strong bond with her song.

Azarbaijan's performance especially for a 17 year old girl is amazingly strong. She sings very truly and seemed to live the song during the performance. Good luck Azarbaijan love you!!

If Turkey, Germany or Greece wins, I will be glad.

So I hope:
1st place goes to either Azarbaijan, or Turkey (LOVE YOU MANGA YOU ARE AMAZING!)
Germany or Greece good luck with your contemporary nice to listen songs

what wins will win wether you love or hate it and you cant always say ,its because they vote for them, im in uk and this year my favourite 5 songs are azerbaijan, slovakia, albania,germany and denmark every year my favourites change and its down to the song not the country so if azerbaijan wins this year i personally will love it as it is my equal favourite song with poor slovakia i will definately be voting azerbaijan tonight even if its just in protest at all the hate aimed at it

it will win or azerbaijan or germany, i like azerbaijan's entry, it is the best song this year, vote for 01 tonight and let the best song (DRIP DROP) win. I think that turkey wont win, they didnt win last year with dum tek tek, which according to me was the best last year, so i think it is impossible to win now, but we will see

@Seamus Cork
"Masses are Asses" ? People are so easily influened. If you tell a people that Armenia or Turkey are favourites, they will vote for them like sheep! As I've said already on this site the standard is really low this year.

Seamus C, you're commenting the big prediction poll of esctoday members. What you said may aplly to media outlets and bookies, but this is a fan site. We're not sheep. In the contrary it is very difficult to brainwash people on EscToday.com :) lol

The_ErincH Palace

All the countries do their best for the success and not only Armenia and Azerbaijan ;)
But Armenia do it without waste of millions, advertisements etc ;) So if you think that we can acheave to a success that means one thing : Deep inside you like our entry and you see the reasons of our doing well!
But calm down I don't think that we'll be able to win as we don't have enough money ;) Maybe somethere in top 10 ;)

But realy funny to see people screaming "our entry is the best" "only we diserve towin" "blah blah blah" You'd rather to have a look at this fan polls, OGAE votes! In the list of above mentioned top 10 see and take under consideration opinions of others ;)

Goodluck!

I think Moldova has the best song, but I know it's impossible for Moldova to win, sadly, but I think Turkey or Azerbaijan or Armenia will win, huge disappointment

Lets be honest about this, the main reason Manga might do well is because Turkey has a large diaspora around europe, nothing more. We will see when the votes come in tonight, though I hope the juries will lessen the effect.

funny.... armenia and azerbajian figthing for be first :) countries that hate each other... of course people near azerbajian because of hating armenian give to azerbajian, and armenian do same for their country..... for me both of song same but from turkey azerbaijan will take 12!!! but this year Turkey,Germany,İsrail,Albania,Denmark also have chance....for me first MANGA!!

Who was it again said that "Masses are Asses" ? People are so easily influened. If you tell a people that Armenia or Turkey are favourites, they will vote for them like sheep! As I've said already on this site the standard is really low this year. There is very little that's good. The only countries that I wouldn't mind winning this year would be the following, (though there's fantastic here either)

Belgium
Ireland
Spain

And that's pretty much it! If you can be swayed by a robot with an angle grinder (Turkey), a trollop with big boobs (Armenia), an act that has thrown everything it could into it to try to make it look good (Azerbaijan). A piece of noise (Greece) or trash (Romania) there's no hope for you. Oh I remember, that quote is attributed to Voltaire. I think he was right. Sorry for being such a cynic.

Imagine how apoplectic a reaction there would be by the Caspian Sea if Armenia were to win? I think that would be the worst case scenario if they didn't win

If Armenia wins i wont get mad, is in my favorites liist, but still rather Belgium to win, If he does, then i can believe that this is a song contest again and not a block-neighboors voting show :) Good luck to all. Also if Hera wins it will be ok, but i rather Tom, he is the complete artist this year, he deservees it :)
