The Wiwi Jury: Eurovision 2012 Reviews and Rankings 30
The Wiwi Jury—that’s Wiwi Bloggs, Vebooboo Nadella, Meows Kitty and Deban Aderemi—will listen to and review all 43 Eurovision entries prior to the first semi-final on May 22. Each member of the jury offers their thoughts on each entry, and then awards it a score out of 10. The four scores are then averaged for the Wiwi Jury Verdict. The jury consists of an American, an Australian, a Brit and a Finn—so we are truly international. Below you can check out the preliminary rankings based on our raw scores. However, to see the complete results re-adjusted using a fancy math formula, you need to click here.

This is like a time machine back to 1995. If I was in charge of the time machine I would prefer to be back to 1985

WOOO Go Sweden
May 09, 2012 @ 21:19:54
I’m sick of Sweden’s first place one more time!I like that song so much but it’s annoying and boring seeing it first everywhere!!Pfff!!!!!
May 04, 2012 @ 00:01:00
@chriskross: They have not reviewed Germany yet, so wait. It might get in the first 21…
I noticed too how many dislikes JEDWARD has on YT on RTE Channel…practically more dislikes than likes. Not sure if I would think they are the worst, but nowhere close to whatever they are ranked here…
May 03, 2012 @ 22:03:01
sorry guys but I cannot understand your taste of music. as an austrian I cannot understand why this sexist and shitty song “wokki mit deim popo” is not the LAST in the list, it is just shit. or the same with jedward, they cannot sing at all and I get a headache when listening to them. if you look at the likes and dislikes at youtube, I guess this is a good predictor for who has good/bad chances. you guys seem not to care about music… though I am austrian I must say that the german song is quite good if it comes to singing and the song as such. also almost everyone likes it on youtube… but here it is not among the 21st? so either you just vote for countries you like or your taste is just very special – and little representative. so why do you take such an effort to do this website???!

Great for Jedward. I love them..
But where the hell is Serbia?
Our song is like, the most hq song this year.

Thanks Nick. I like the video and the re-worked version is tighter. Although it’s still a bad song, the chorus is rousing. Thanks for sharing. It’d be interesting to get revised feedback from the wiwiteam.

Nick, please send me the link of the revised Latvian Entry. Thank you..
Mar 17, 2012 @ 21:09:49
you may have do redo the latvian song, because they changed it a bit. The lyrics are way better
Mar 17, 2012 @ 18:53:56
Thanks for the quick answer! No wonder I couldn’t find it before, since I hadn’t seen that year’s Eurovision (my country had a boring entry). But boy, I’d wish that a song like “Dancing Lasha Tumbai” was among this year’s crop! Cheesy, crazy, incredibly funny and overall very Eurovision. *like*

Hi Ben. The header is Verka Serduchka — Ukraine — Eurovision 2007. I didn’t want to use one of this year’s contestants because I was worried about looking biased
Mar 17, 2012 @ 15:47:52
I just have to ask: From what clip is the header photo? I’ve looked over (as far as I can see) all entries this year, but I couldn’t find the right song! Can somebody help me out, please?
