(3) I knew about the embedding problem and was going to eMail you! Can you change the video for this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hhE9TaecII

Many thanks !

I'll change it now!

omg!!! 10 points!!!

yayayayayayayaya!! thank you jonny!!

i thought i'd end up with nil point

I've decided that i'm not going to do any promotion, because if you like my song enough hopefully you'll vote for it, and if you don't like it, you won't vote for it, s'no biggy!!

That's exactly the position I'm taking as well! Except it IS a big deal if people don't give me points I will be very pissed off and Mark will then have to sit and listen to me whine

The moral is: save Mark, vote for Sheepmark!

THANK YOU

I will be upset with you all who do not vote for me, and I shall never talk to you all again if I get less than 1st place, and I will prefer Rybak over you lot ... okay maybe I am lying

I am happy with my song, that is all that matters and my song isn't a ballad, just to prove I am no ballad-whore

i cba doing promotion either.... if people like the song then great! but if they don't i won't be bothered

... we already have the new Turkish style country .... *doesn't look at Kevin*

You should be thanking yourself Stockholm!!! You have chosen the best song by far imo

Omg - I've just checked out all the songs I don't know and God damn you lot - They are soooooo good !! - I honestly think it is impossible, espc. with one country throwing a COMPLETE spanner in the works ... argh !!

Btw don't forget the winner of this contest will host the contest, unless ofcourse they don't want to in which case they can ask somebody else to do it But I also think we should create a rule that people can't host the contest twice in a row, or at least they shouldn't be obliged to.

Btw don't forget the winner of this contest will host the contest
Why the hell did you give me 12 points

I see Jonny gave me as many points as the Uk jury will give Sakis..LMAO

I did have some aray of votes ... but now I heard the songs again and i've thrown them votes out of the window - ARGH !! - Why did you all pick good songs !?!?!?!!

Mark you may aswell just draw your votes out of a hat lmao

The only thing I am sure about is my 12 points - I think it is obv. where it is going
