The Eurovision Times 
Excellent start to my birthday, already had some very good news concerning a close friend and now im left in shock, but a happy shock, as Israel beats always well hyped (whether rightly or wrongly) Netherlands. Genuinely though Netherlands would win this.
Are ET readers starting to get their shake on?
A song to shake it in the semi-finals …
Off topic: a while ago I saw a spot on NERIT about their esc coverage later this month.
It said: “Tuesday 19/5 at 22:00, Saturday 23/5 at 22:00”.
Does that mean that they won’t broadcast the second semi on Thursday?!!!
If so, this will be the first time they do so since the introduction of semis. I hope it was just a typo.
Typo-omission ;)
Omission, yes :P

Has anyone posted this: The preliminary list of the esc juries for Eurovision 2015: http://www.eurovision.tv/page/news?id=exclusive_here_are_this_years_national_juries
The chairman of the Greek jury is of Armerian descent and i don’t even know him and there’s also an Armenian jury member in the Cypriot jury.Now,let’s see how Armenia will fare will both these juries…
Bruno Berberes in France. :P
The president of OGAE Greece in the Greek jury…
Jik Nakasyan is a legendary condactor in Greece. I remember him from the Thessaloniki Song Festival era :)
I think that it’s positive that he is one of the jury members. Same goes for Mr Karatzikos and Marianna Efstratiou. On the other hand I read that one of the members is a singers’ agent/manager (?!); not that promising.
*conductor
I have never heard of mr. Nakasyan,tbh.Mr Karatzikos is ok but not that promising,imo.I remember him supporting some atrocities.Helen Giannatsoulia is the most promising.I like her as a lyricist.As for the PR/manager,i don’t think he’s the manager of one specific singer.I don’t know him,either.But,my statement still stands.I want to see how Armenia will fare with both the Greek and Cypriot juries.
Hmm, we seem to disagree a bit on this; I think that both Mrs Giannatsoulia and the PR guy, are sort of the …weakest links there :)
I don’t really know the PR guys so i can’t say if he’s good or bad.On the other hand,i really like some of the songs Eleni Gianatsoulia has penned alongside Christos Nikolopoulos.
Btw, have you seen the NERIT spot on esc? Are they planning not to broadcast semi 2?
I read your comment but i don’t really know.Tha would be odd. :/
Let’s hope that they just forgot to mention semi 2.
He is the composer of Vissi’s Autostop, no?
Really?I don’t like Autostop.One more reason not to like him.
The Italian jury seems to be the most irrelevant i’ve seen till now.
