If Colombia gets points from Croatia, it is all said and done.

I'm sensing Colombia will get a 12, and possibly the victory in the contest.

If you like that much, that song in concrete (Chilanga Banda) is a tribute to the urban culture that defined post WWII Mexico City, characterized by immigration from other parts of that country that resulted in a slang that is unique to the people living there (and consequently, considered disgusting by the rest of the country, myself included)

Then I guess you'll need a whole dictionary of "Mexicanisms" to understand Chilanga Banda by Café Tacvba

Not mine, for sure

Meanwhile I'm stuck in 70 points, and very few chances to reach 86 at least.

Now I'm sad for Argentina... probably the best song in Spanish in this contest.

Well, speaking for myself, I'm not too genre oriented (even if sometimes it may seem like it) I try to take the best from each song, and to evaluate whether it is rather unique or has an "X factor" to it, that separates it from the rest of its field. So, it's not that rare for me that she chose two very different songs, if she thought they were pretty amazing on their own.

Not weird, just this isn't as predictable as Eurovision. That's why it is more exciting.

This will be a very tight finish to know the winner

Well, in Mexico they drench pizza in ketchup and hot sauce... plus in some cases, Worcestershire sauce I admitted I used to do it as a kid; now I only used ketchup and hot sauce if the sauce is flavorless.

I also like it, mostly scrambled with eggs, but not on pizza.

So I must infer you're not too keen on Mediterranean food?

Well, then don't come to Mexico... they use chorizo, fried beans, peppers and canned tuna as pizza toppings.

Not more devil's workings than anchovies

Hard, but not impossible... 22 points and still 7 juries to vote (apart from you)

If Slovenia didn't gave points to USA or Ireland this edition could be the most interesting one so far

You weren't... that's what happen when I have two active thumbs

It was a lucky coincidence that has proven my point

Just a little mistake on my part... Now I've edited

Time to use the old reliable "I wonder when I'm going to get another point. It's been a long time since a jury give me one!"

Not this time, unfortunately... I couldn't resist k.d.'s performance
