United Kingdom: fans put DJ Bobo as their favourite from the semis!
More success for DJ Bobo at a UK preview party in Manchester. Over 80 people attended the Manchester Boom Bang A Bang previews - with fans putting Switzerland well ahead of the rest of the semi-finalists. Runner up was Denmark's DQ, and it was no surprise to find favourites like Slovenia and Belarus in the top rankings. However one surprise was that Latvia, which many people see as a possible contender for victory in Helsinki languished in the bottom half of the vote. And who's propping up the others? Poor old Montenegro, with just 5 votes, compared with a massive 372 for DJ Bobo!
