Sweden’s Loreen and Romania’s Mandinga have emerged as the clear favorites in our poll “Who Will Win Eurovision 2012?“. Launched on March 25, the poll has recorded 13,627 votes as of May 5. Loreen (“Euphoria”) currently leads with 2,098 votes. That’s just 147 more than Mandinga (“Zaleilah”). In third place is Serbia’s Joksimovic (“Love Is Not a Thing”) with 1,067 votes. These three are the only contestants that have secured more than 1,000 votes.
Cyprus’ Ivi Adamou (“La La Love”) and Greece’s Eleftheria Eleftheriou (“Aphrodisiac”) have been locked at the hip since our poll began. When we last checked in they were tied with 731 votes each. This week, however, Eleftheria has moved past Ivi with 11 extra votes (834 vs. 823). This is crazy close. You can compare the two women in our Eurovision Death Match poll as well.
Albania’s Rona Nishliu—who recently gave WiwiBloggs.Com a fantastic interview at Eurovision in Concert—is holding steady in sixth place with 752 votes. She also remains in second place with the Wiwi Jury. The Big 5 is represented in the top ten by Britain’s Engelbert Humperdinck (seventh place with 511 votes) and Spain’s Pastora Soler (eighth place with 494 votes).

@Moriarity: Were you brought up by nuns or you’re just a bit of a loser? Have you watched Lady Marmelade video (with Christina Aguilera, Pink, Lil’ Kim, and Mya) or any of Benny Hill shows? They are way more “racier” than Romania’s entry. And they are all fun including the one you’re complaining about!
