Call me crazy, and I know it's taken well over a month, but the Moldavian entry is really starting to grow on me! I know it still really doesn't stand a chance, but it's a really pleasant song to listen to, especially the new version.

I haven't heard the new version but the version I have is sleep inducing...I'll go and see if I can find the new version :)

Hmm...just listened to the new version. It's much better but still won't be one of my faves

I wouldn't have it anywhere near my top ten, and I still think it will finish close to last, but I now also think it probably doesn't deserve such a poor showing.

Climbers from Switzerland, Latvia, Belgium, Iceland and Serbia in the good songs section...plus Portugal have been bumped up to 'Good'

Its like Give It To Me meets Punjabi Mc

My Top 5

 

1) Russia

The classiest offering this year, this song is excellent in my opinion and potentially 'too good' for Eurovision. Good on this guy for returning, he was robbed in 2006 by dreadful Lordi so I would like to see this do well, if not win the contest

 

2) Serbia

They never fail, this song is excellent and im also routing for this. So what if it wins, its about the songs at the end of the day and this in my opinion is great.

 

3) Norway

Fantastic offering from Norway, their best entry since 2006.. this has the potential to do well and get Top 5.

 

4) Turkey

Im actually really liking this one, good on Turkey for trying something new this year and not just sticking to the bongos and bellys... this is one to watch, the guy has a great voice and the song has quite a catchy chorus.

 

5) Armenia

a fun eastern sound that will get the crowd going.. a sure qualifier!

Hi Kargo!

 

Not going to admit you're Turkish then? ^_^

 

I don't blame you though it's a good song regardless.

so here's my first list done in that way ^_^

you see my taste among Eurovision songs changed. Great movers, leader changed and Spain climbed 2 places and it's not the last one here so far :lol:

Gosh where do I place my self? My mother is Spanish and my father Irish! How do I tell them that the sogs representing their country is c**p? Guess I am going against all odds! My top songs this year are:

 

1. Portugal

2. Andorra

3. Arménia

 

Is there something wrong with me? Just love those 3 tunes and find the rest "more of the same" and an increasing number of c**p SONGS! sigh!...

My top 3 (Love ´em):

Portugal

just love the music and Vania´s voice!

Armenia

Andorra

 

OK: Greece...but starting to follow the "swedish ESC music formula"...

 

HATE ' EM: IRELAND AND SPAIN

What the F***

Belgium should be in Junior ESC? Maybe?

Finland? Rock Horror Show AGAIN?!...

Sweden? Why people love it so much? Another song that is part of the "swedish mass production ESC music formula"! All the same on-and-on-and-again!

 

No comments about the other songs...yet...still recovering from the "shock" with the poor level of quality of ESC 2008!
