Buckwheat Posted May 8, 2018 Author Share Posted May 8, 2018 Since Adz has already asked on the book of faces ... where are we meeting tonight? Anybody has a link to whatever chat we are using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalThor Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 I doubt I'll make it to chat tonight but may get there late. Thursday should be a go and Saturday for sure. The Greek song is dreadful -- as usual. It's basically the same lyrics over and over again. You are the end and the beginning, you are my everything. (Something like) I won't wipe you off the map (<- Not a fixed expression in Greek) (Something about) You won't change my color blue. (Makes no sense in English or Greek) If anyone wants to torture themselves with a lyrics translation here it is.Ωνείρο Μου "My Dream" Cyprus may do well. The singer is Albanian and has been making her living in Greece. She rejected Greece's overtures to do a song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckwheat Posted May 8, 2018 Author Share Posted May 8, 2018 Just now, Risto said: Let me know if we do... Uhhh ... since nobody knows, maybe we should just make a giant group chat on the book of faces? But I understand not everybody wants to share their real name/profile.

Meera of Tarth Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Ok, As promised....this is the translation of the Spanish song.....

Adz of CCAA Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Hi. Not sure I can make it tonight. I've got to assemble a cupboard/closet/whatever tonight. But I'll try to be there. Does last year's link still work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 So, the IRC server is down, and I'm not sure we'll be bringing it back up. But there's plenty of IRC servers. My recommendation is go to https://client00.chat.mibbit.com/ Just use their default server. Set your name, set the channel to #Westeros, connect. You'll see you now have a #mibbit tab and should shortly after have a #Westeros tab. And there we are. It's a public server, random yahoos may or may not wander in, but I doubt it. I'm there, anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ran Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Here's short clips put in the running order, to give a preview of what the show may feel like. Per the bookmakers, Cyprus, Israel, France, Lithuania, and Sweden are likeliest winners. Even money has Sweden in a top 5 finish. Norway has definitely fallen after the semi-final, with Germany touted above it (seems weird, but that's what the odds say). So, just looking at the geopolitics of it all... Elenei from Cyprus was raised in Greece but her parents are Albanian, so essentially she's going to get a good boost from Greece and perhaps even Albania. I can definitely see the win potential. I think Israel's support is probably a little overstated. I think it will fall off a bit further following the final. France is quite nice, but France is never going to win this. Lithuania, I can't even get. I think it's over-rated. Then there's Sweden. All the continental Nordic countries are qualified this year, meaning a nice, big block. I think Ingrosso's almost video-like, really carefully choreographed performance is going to do well with juries even if they consider the song derivative (which it is). I think a top 5 is very likely indeed. Now, there's running order. Fuego is next to last, the same position that Dima Bilan was in when he won in 2008, and Latvia was in 2002 when they won as well. Italy is last, which is actually a nice position, and given how wildly different their song is from what came before, and I admit this could go highly... I don't know. Odds are on Cyprus, but I personally think Israel will disappoint, and Sweden and Italy will surprise with strong finishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 The gang's all here for the final! See the Mibbit directions above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
