    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.

    2013

     

    NONE

     

     

    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.

    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.

    That would be a really stupid move. Honestly, this show has gone to the dogs. Can't they even try to be a little bit realistic?

     

    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.

    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 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.

    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!

     

    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.
