PLEASE!!!!!! STOP THIS NAZI CONVERSATION!!!! SWEDEN OR UKRAINE....... UKRAINE OR SWEDEN????? VOTE FOR MOLDOVA!!!!
Bravo, Ross! 
West, East, North blah-blah..these are simply coordinates with no meaning in a contest. I will vote for the songs which I like, as any rational person should do.
Simply Awful.
I don't understand the good results in the polls...
i like the performance its very cool but her voice isnt that good
Just LET you KNOw that EAST EUROPE club WILL vote for Ukrain . So many countries so many sure votes . I Hope West countries will not vote for this ungly song. Remember what happen when EAST EUROPE votes.Even the best West europe songs didn;t make it to the final.
VOTE WEST This year dont vote for this Song
It may be a winner ...
But there are also Sirusho and Kalomira. If Armenia, Greece or Ukraine wins this year I won't be unhappy. This 3 candidates worked really hard to make a show. They have good songs, good stage presence and choreography. I didn't see yet their costumes
She is defenetly going to qualify for the final, she may have the most points in the second semi final.
Good luck
Ukraine definitely will qualify to the final, but I dont think it is a winner...
Great singer and great performance, not good song, but this is enough to win. Ukraine will be on the top.
Alex, she DEFINITELY grew as an entertainer, and as a woman!!
She really looks like a diva!! Finally, the girl matches the VOICE!!
i don't want to believe it, but this song could win the contest 
@Khalid Uhh??? I have only ONE account and it´s this one!
@Alex Amos, no you are not the only Ukrainian in here. You only think so! And why should Swedes be jealous of Ukraine??? And for me Ukranies song is a really trash song! So damn bad! Anis voice isn´t good at all!
Great song, great performance, great girl full package.Good luck Karolina one of my top 5 songs this year.
Ani's performance today was very good and professional. I'm sure she will qualify and possibly win. Of course, I hope that Charlotte will do well too. Personally I think that her voice is better than that of Ani.
UK is no doubt the most successful western country. When I think of all the songs which deserved to win but ended up at 2nd place ...... (Need I say that I'm a UK lover?)
i just saw the rehersal of Ani Lorak...and i must say that i was surprised....i love her preformence....i think Charlotte should move more on stage if she gonna have a chance...
im from sweden and i like hero more than shady lady...whats wrong with that? I think Hero is a bit better song....Ukraine has a good song this year but there is something that i do not like with this song.....i lover her video though....i think her live preformence can give her a top 5 position if its good enough..
Despite the fact that Sweden could do a "Kate Ryan", it also seems very popular with the eastern europeans on this site, which can be a big bonus when it comes to the voting
Ukraine was definitely best today! like it now more than Sweden
vote for MACEDONIA!
Princess Engla, you are quite bad mannered to be a real princess. Where did you grow up? In the streets, I suppose. I don't think you ever set a foot in a palace

LOL, you tell him!!!! The British Isles house the real kings and queens of eurovision!!!! lol 
i am not from sweden to make clear first when i heard ani lorak i said wow this song will win the eurovision then i heard sweden and is siad tis not bad so i said i wait till rehersals and the final performance To tell you the truth i hope taht ANI LORAK wont win pls after this first rehersal hope that it will improve if she wins it wont win for the song especially if she is going to wear something like she wore for the vidoe or in london when she went to malta
@ Candyman ESC
Sweden the most successful western country?
I think a certain one with 7 wins under its belt and the one beside it with 5 wins and 15 second places might have something to say about that. Eurovision didn't start in 1999.
Go Ukraine!!
as for the press conference. I like it. I was afraid she was gonna be all modest and shy. But she was amazing. I think Eurovision changed her (obviously) a little. I know her since the beginning in 1996. I must say she became more professional ... more mature since December. Also I must thank to Philip and Murat (her boyfriend) who gave her this experience of being on the promo tour.
lol, it seems she remembered esctoday team from Scala )))
Engla, so you think Ukrainians are jealous of Sweden? of WHAT?! This disaster?! I must be kidding ol:
LMAO, oh ... you'll be disappointed but the only person from Ukraine is me and I'd LOVE Sweden if you sent BWO or Sanna ... but nope, you sent this typical "shlager" trash. The most pale Swedish entry for years.
and why is everybody supposed to like Sweden? We have our own opinion. Swallow it and stop whining.
@ princess egla
You are right, you are not a swede, you are just another profile of that madman hero/zingo/comedy/king kong/sing song/ting tong etc
I don't care about Ukrainian song either - only for Charlotte I care less
For me, The Cardigans' sound is what Sweden should offer to non-Swedes, not that Carola, Charlotte tunes - I simply don't like it, and never listening to it
