"Lick My Beat" - WTF? That chalymadia ridden slag is so crude.

Great entry from Slovenia! Very contemporary, I have a Rita Oral/Kelly Rowland vibe to this. I do hope this make it. Though I keep thinking "Verjamem" all over again :( Can see this getting 6 or 7 from the UK easily.

Will/Justin - If this goes to #1, there is something wrong with the UK. Obsessive fans will contribute. Pink can forget #1 then :(

I used to call that Templecloud song "Vodafone Family" lol. Perhaps if she has not gone back to work/uni etc she could re-release it as a voda campaign :D

Even so, why go for a sound everyone is using. Be true to your roots.

This is The Saturday's weakest single. Why they have to lower themselves and sing with the likes of Sean Paul I would love to know. I hope it doesn't go to #1. The girls can do A LOT better. f*** America, get focused on the UK and building a career in Europe. Justin Beiber ft Will.I.am - Heard it today, even worse than that amobination with clapped-out Britney. If that goes to #1, I am giving up on the singles chart. It's becoming too controlled.

1D #1 - Shows the sheep will buy anything. How many copies has Cameron bought?

That Nelly song is AWFUL! Shows people will buy anything.

Did anyone collect those Top of the Pops albums?

Honestly Robin was the best choice imo. Ulrik had a good song, as did Anton and Louise. Swedish House Wives despite it being cheap as anything would have been a good entry too lol I would have given Eddie Razaz a chance too! Yohio - I think he would put people off voting especially in some conservative countries like Azerbaijan/Russia. For some reason I could see him getting the same result as Alexey Vobroyov - in fact both songs are alike!! "Paris" was the 32nd place song.....VERY unsuitable for ESC.

Guess not. Remember - it's not about drama and realism....it's all let's have ratings. It's what killing TV today. If they think this will win the flock back.....think again - even a programme aimed at old grannies "Emmerdale" gets more viewers.

Hopefully a song in Azeri, but it seems Azeri's are ashamed of their own language.

Awful. This is Bulgaria 2009 all over again. Electric Fence, Luminita, Elena or Natalia would have been the better choices.

Great choice Serbia!! Catchy modern song. Will win the juries and televoters easily. I think top 5 in the final is certain. The JESC girl in the group is actually from a Serbian part of Kosovo - once again...the Kosovo magic could work...

I have to say the change of song was wise. A catchy up-tempo ethno entry with the right performance will qualify Belarus and possibly get top 15 placing.

I quite like this! Once again Hungary send a quality entry. I hope all or 50% of it is kept in Hungarian. A very pleasent entry and could win over the juries. Possible borderline qualifier and one of the best songs of 2013.

It's pleasent enough, but I think Spain will be contending with the UK as least placed automatic qualifier.

Desperate. Time to pull out or give it to someone who gives a damn about Eurovision.

NMGP: Nora Foss-Al Jabri - "Somewhere Beautiful" (2nd 2012) - This could have gone top 10 in Baku. Very powerful ballad. Irresistible - "Elevator" (SF 2012) - Very Saturdays-esque, contemporary and would have been a good entry for Norway Nora Noor - "Gone With The Wind" (SF 2011) - Amy/Adele soul number - would have worked very well. Girl Happy - "SOS" (SF 2011) - Electro-pop number. Would have been a good entry in ESC. Sichelle - "Trenger Mer" (SF 2011) - Agnes in Norwegian!! Very underrated and catchy. Mira Craig - "I'll Take You High" (SF 2010) - Soul ballad, very powerful voice. Top 5 easily on home soil. Sichelle - "Left, Right" (SF 2009) - Think Alesha Dixon....great song, memorable chorus. This could have won too! Tone Damli - "Butterflies" (2nd 2009) - LOVE this. This could have won too!

Seconded. Has the guy lost his cherry yet? It's like something a desperate 18 yr old would write to get someone into bed.

Time to flee the UK.

Samantha Mumba - "Gotta Tell You" - was shocked this was #2 Dido - "White Flag" - Considering it's her most known song, it's a shock this was not #1 Tina Turner - "The Best", "Private Dancer" and "What's Love Got To Do With It" - I thought these were all huge #1s - shocked "Private Dancer" did not make top 20 :(

"Boys and Girls" was a surprise indeed. I didn't expect Pixie to start her career with 2 #1s. I also found "All About Tonight" a shocker as I thought The Saturdays or even Leona had it sewn. Iyaz with "Replay" - then yet again January is a REALLY weird month. "Run This Town" by Jay Z/Rihanna/Kayne - I thought "Get Sexy" had it in the bag. Guess the fanbase of the three artists helped A LOT. "Crossroads" by Blazin Squad - I thought "oh it's just a bit of hype, they'd be forgotten come the singles".....how wrong was I. Some of the forgettable ones could be seen as surprises. "Gym and Tonic" is more of a club track...guess it must have been a low scoring week?

Justin Beiber - Boyfriend - Considering the hype, I was shocked it didn't make the summit. Another vote for Rihanna ft Eninem and Maroon 5 ft Christina Aguilera - shame they were long running #2s :( Samantha Mumba - Gotta Tell You - this was EVERYWHERE! Another one which is very lesser known: Preeya Kalidas - Shakalaka Baby - Limped into about #37 - had potential to be a huge summer hit.
