Euroband will be hoping for better luck that the previous winners of the Douze Points Eurovision preview nights. The Retro Bar audience have yet to correctly predict who will win the Eurovision Song Contest. Indeed, not one of the previous Douze Points winners has managed a top 5 finish in the Contest.
Below is the list of previous winners:
2007 - Switzerland: Vampires Are Alive, DJ Bobo (Semi: Denmark: Drama Queen, DQ)
2006 - Germany: No No Never, Texas Lightning (Semi: Belgium: Je T'Adore, Kate Ryan)
2005 - Hungary: Forogj Vilaj, Nox (Semi: Iceland: If I Had Your Love, Selma)
2004 - Sweden: It Hurts, Lena Phillipsson (Semi: Denmark: Shame On You, Tomas Thordarsson)
2003 - Latvia: Hello From Mars, FLY
2002 - Germany: I Can't Live Without Music, Corinna May
2001 - Slovenia: Energy, Nusa Derenda
2000 - Netherlands: No Goodbyes, Linda Wagenmakers
Retro Bar is located just off of The Strand in the heart of London's West End. It plays host to the Douze Points Eurovision night on the second Thursday of every month.

@Jay Stone: I agree with you about your comment to Fabio Deluca. It´s there any profe of these accounts are from the same person than they like Sweden??
Judging by the previous winner it's not so complimentary to win "this voting" ashahahahha they are god at predicting the bottom 5!
@ lady why are u surprised the uk has taste .you say that you are a singer we have one of the best classical singers in the world in the uk sarah brightman, if you ever come close to selling as many albums as her you will be very lucky
@ Jay Stone:
Peace & Light.
Fabio Deluca
Any argument that all of these users are the same? Ah, I see, the argument is that all of them like Sweden this year, lol))))))))))))))))) Very smart)))))))))))))))))
Congratulations Iceland! You have a great entry this year!
My top six are: Sweden, Bulgaria, Armenia, Iceland, Andorra and Latvia. But many entries are going up in my favorite list, for example Denmark, Malta, and Czech Republic!
Fabio Deluca:
My, thank you so much.
You're easily the nicest member in ESCtoday.
Too bad there aren't more like you. The world would be better.
I'm more than happy to send you a copy. 
Lady Sarantuya, be sure I am your most devoted fan! You are always so right, nobody can't deny you are the truly fountain of knowledge! We all need your wise words here! Some common sense is necesary in this website, for God's sake!
I am looking forward to get your forthcoming album!
John Robert Andresen:
Please forgive me my rudeness. But I'm just expressing my own opinion. There's no need to act as if I insulted your mother, unless the alien IS your mother, but I doubt it.
However, to fully enjoy life, you need to trust my personality, believe everything I say, and do as I want.
And yes, I do intend to release my latest album in Europe. But certainly not Scandinavia, as it seems I'm obviously not wanted there. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some vocal training to do. I'm a mezzo soprano singer, and we need a lot of practice to maintain the quality of our voices.
Bi chamd hairtai (I love you),
Your lady Sarantuya B.
@ sarantuya b.
Swedish alien....? Surprised over English good taste? And you want to sell records across the European continent? Haha.. yeah right. that arrogant attitude will help you a lot along the way. NOT! Oh and by the way, You look just as much alien as Charlotte Perrelli..
THIS YEAR , I HOPE THAT ICELAND- SWEDEN -UKRAINE --- ONE OF THEM WILL WINNER.
My God, this guy is still talking to himself! It must be hard to post something, then log out; sign in with another account, react on his previous comment... LOL! It's hard work!
Guys, it's MORE THAN OBVIOUS that Hero/The Real Zingo Star/Jay Stone/Willow Willox is the same person. By the way, he's the only retard quoting the 'Hero' lyrics all the time. He said 'Charlotte is sexy and strong for story of love and compassion'... I wonder what does it have to do with Charlotte. Love and compassion? I bet she's a Red Cross nurse!
wow the icelandic humans beat the swedish alien.
Well done!
UK has taste, I'm surprised.
YEAH!!! GO ICELAND!!! UK knew you had taste MWA!! glad to see my faves doin well...
still i doubt iceland will qualify, but hey the vting system can lick my bollocks! 
go iceland
- Easily Nor
Don't worry, the UK won't win!!! But our song isn't that awful!! 
There are far worse this year 
As long as UK do not win with that awful song I am happy.
As long as Iceland do not win with that awful song I am happy...GO NORWAY

As long as Norway do not win with that awful song I am happy...GO ICELAND
CORRECTION: Semi 1 was won by Norway at the Retro bar - oops!
sweden won t win this year..even andorra is better ..the real winner will be ukraine turkey poland or maybe romania..
NONE the Semi winners at the Retro bar in previous years managed to go to the final.
NOW: this year at the Retro the winner of Semi 1 was Greece; and the winner of Semi 2 was Sweden.
Something tell me that more than one Eurofan is going to be in shock this year when neither Greece nor Sweden make it to the final. He, he.
I'll be delighted though, because I think they're both atrocious entries (sub-standard, cheap and predictable) with unpleasant performers.
- the real Hero
LOL, you crack me up!!!! I suppose you're taking the piss out of the other "hero", and good on you for doing that, because for all the trouble hes caused, he deserves it!
i agree!
SAME ON THE SWEDE BASHERS!
SWEDEN WILL WIN MAY 24TH YOU SEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes a big shame!
SHAME A BIG SHAME! 
VERY ANGRY
SWEDEN WILL WIN!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA LOL Spain nul points!!!!!!!
They predicted well, I really love their top 10!!
And zingo star, hero won't be happy, because Sweden didn't win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! moohahahahahahahaha
(although Charlotte did deserve a good result, I must point out that I am NOT a Charlotte basher!)
