Are any of you guys interested in watching? I know I am. I've been following the competition since it began.

So, I'd like to know if anyone is watching this and if you are, who are you rooting for?
Me? I'm rooting for Slovenia (obviously, sicne that's where I'm from), Lithuania and a few of the underdogs, like Georgia and Finland.
EDIT: Obviously, Georgia and Finland didn't make it through, so I'm basically rooting for Slovenia and Lithuania now. But seeing how Slovenia has no chance in hell of beating Spain, I really hope Lithuania wins this thing. But I personally think Spain will take the title again this year. They're just amazing, you gotta givem 'em that.
