January 13, 201114 yr Ok, so I've got the songs on my iPod now, so can start listening to them properly now. Here's what I think so far, and I've also included some odds on how I think they'll do, even though only three songs have been selected. Switzerland - Instantly forgettable, and definitely heading for a single figured number of points irrespective of what semi final it gets put in. Odds on winning: 500/1. Odds on qualification: 33/1. Romania - Definitely growing on me, and if it gets a decent position in its semi final, I can see this standing out quite well. Romania have a decent diaspora, and rarely - if ever - fail to qualify, so I definitely don't see this missing out. It won't win, but will probably secure a top 15 position. Winning: 33/1. Qualification: 1/3. Albania - I'm guessing this song will undergo a transformation, and the final version will be in English, but I'm liking this in its current form myself. Albania usually come up with a reasonable song, but this will obviously go the same way as their 2009 and 2010 songs have done. With a good re-arrangement and performance, this might push slightly higher though. Winning: 40/1. Qualification: 7/4. So, in short, we haven't got a winner yet. :D
February 2, 201114 yr Amazing - Great Netherlands: 3JS - Je vecht nooit alleenAlbania: Aurela Gace - Kenga Ime Good - Average - Poor Switzerland: Anna Rossinelli - In Love For A While Terrible Romania: Hotel FM - ChangeShockingly I really like the Dutch entry! Another The Highest Heights style love for me then...Albania's growing, Switzerland isn't, and Romania remains terrible.
February 2, 201114 yr Amazing - Great 1.Albania: Aurela Gace - Kenga Ime Good 2.Romania: Hotel FM - Change 3.Netherlands: 3JS - Je vecht nooit alleen Average - Poor 4.Switzerland: Anna Rossinelli - In Love For A While Terrible - Best year ever? :kink: Really hoping Blue's song is in the top two categories when it's revealed...
February 2, 201114 yr I've only heard Albania and Romania as of right now. Albania is interesting but Romania is a bit boring....:( I'll listen to all the songs soon (well the other two :P) and give a proper verdict. Edited February 2, 201114 yr by Sabrewulf
February 3, 201114 yr Not won over by any of them so far - Stella/Le Kid/Yohanna and Jenny Berggren will take my top 4 spots when they storm to victory in their respective heats. I can dream can't I :drama:
February 3, 201114 yr Aurela has already grown on me from Albania. At first I thought it was a bit odd....like some song you'd hear a woman singing at some shady Arabian bar in a bond film. However, some more listens after that have let me realize what a strong voice she has...and very passionate too. Definitely one of my favourites (wouldn't be hard since there's only four though :lol:)

Romania - Hotel FM - Change Poor Ugh... Average is going to be mostly filled with songs I don't know well enough yet. So it'll probably be the most changeable group.

February 14, 201114 yr When I do my ranking, prepare to see 'Lipstick' near the top. :( But it will, most likely, be the worst on the night due to the guys not being able to hold a note between them!
