Wahhoooooo Switzerland deserve those 12 points!

- Hero

Jesus, calm down! Do you really think that Charlotte lawyers can prosecute someone for talking about Charlotte's botox??!! What rubbish!! ;) What are you on!!!!!!!!! ;)
(and as you said to me once, "is this a courtroom or something" ;))

@ cro-boy
Shut up? I can say what I like about the Croatian entry and I think it is awful. I like the old guy yelling because it's funny but it is still an awful song.

Go ahead and hate the Irish entry, I don't care. I know that I like it and that your comment is perfectly valid for you, I don't need to tell people to shut up - I'm above that.

shut up DannyT, if u hate song, dont comment it- ignore it. i hate urs "song" and this is my first sentence about that irish crap!

Obviously there are plenty of Croatian on the Austrian OGAE jury

Wow, I like this top10! If only Switzerland weren't there. :( And I'm a bit surprised that Romania are that high. But great for Sweden and Norway. And Azerbaijan! A much underrated song, I think... and I'm so happy that Croatia got some points! It's one of my favourites this year and no one else seems to like it. :(

Switzerland won't qualify for sure.

Germany is a very special case in Eurovision - other countries were pushed by their neighbour countries...
Switzerland and Austria aren't our friends in the Contest... They even crashed our victories in 1981 for Lena Valaitis and 1985 for Wind by not giving us a single point when other countries awarded us often the "douze points"...

Switzerland might suprise and win this year.

Hm, I'm getting tired of all these childish comments from certain people. I just hope that the best man or women will win. I really like Hero and I think Charlotte is an excellent performer. But on the other side I also love France, Bosnia and Norway.
There are some really crappy songs in this contest according to me but why should I get at kick of complaining and write nasty comments about them....I stand above that, why can't you?


Cristina Giuntini [30618]
Thu 8 May 2008 09:30:45

@ Marsha, I hope it does. The song is really nothing special and Charlotte's fans are really exaggerating, invading each and every topic with their comments about Sweden being the winner and vote for Sweden and blah blah blah. This doesn't do their "hero" any good.

Oh Hero, Zingo, Night of musical comedy and others,

Don't you worry, we will shout your Charlotte off the stage in Belgrade. I will ask her personally wich Botox clinic she goes to. And if it's true that she was a guy 15 years before, and more, listening again to her nasty commend last year about so many other entries, I think she should stand the commends she gets now...

oh, the losers vote too?
Hmm....silly.

No participation = NO OGAE/ESC VOTING!

austria is just scary cat, how can they vote.

LOL, you are the best comedian on Earth. If you are gonna write 'a strong letter' against me, I know enough members here that are tired of you. And we will able to flood the ESCtoday redaction with letters if we want.

Besides that, do you think ESCtoday would sue me just for a few comments here? There's a disclaimer, and they are not responsible for our reactions here. No website is gonna invest any money in lawyers and such for this reason. They would be in bankrupt by now, dear. No lawyer would waste his time for some comments in a public forum. This might work this way in your fantasy, but no in the real world.

@ hero.

That was the joke of the night lol

Oh and Charlotte Perelli must be informed and the nasty comments about her botox etc on special ESC websites are illegal and I am sure her management or lawyer would love to take this matter into their hands.

think before you react ok!

Fabio Deluca

First of all me and zingo star are tottally two different users from separate countries, You have no proof of evidence and you are making false impression to make fool of yourself, why don't you ask moderators to give you our IP address as out comments posted from different locations, as far as i am aware zingo star is swedish as he said in his comments before or from sweden and I live in UK, go on ask moderators for evidence to show how you are incorrect, even if you have those crazy ideas if you were intelligent you wouldn't post it on here straight away because you are without proof of evidence, so it doesn't matter what you say you are seemed mentally unstable and attacking us even when we just react on news items.

I am gonna write a strong letter of complaint and surely esctoday must take lawful action against you, because your abusive reaction is nothing acceptable, believe it or not there are ways to find you on this planet technology works fine we don't live in 80's no more.

Hero., just stop this comedy. It's obvious to everybody Zingo star and you are the same person. There's no need to log off and account and log in the other anymore. You're gonna be crazy!

zingo star

Don't tell people to shut up, relax please, Sweden is not gonna lose just because some people don't want or think Charlotte will win, everybody entitled to what they think even those that attack Charlotte and only bring themselves down, :D :D :D
