I agree, this is perhaps my douze points (which probably says a lot about the quality of this years contest). Should sail to the final but don't see it lighting up the score board on the final night.

I think "mysterious times" is the only Sash track which sounds passable in 2014.

1995 - a bloody brilliant year for handbag girly house music and shaped my music tastes for good.

I'm no expert however I predicted well last year so prepared to give it a second whirl. SEMI ONE 1 Ukraine 2 Armenia 3 Azerbaijan 4 Sweden 5 Hungary 6 Moldova 7 Russia 8 Estonia 9 Montenegro 10 Iceland _____________________ 11 Netherlands 12 latvia 13 Belgium 14 Albania 15 Portugal 16 San Marino SEMI TWO 1 Romania 2 Norway 3 Malta 4 Greece 5 Poland 6 Finland 7 Israel 8 Ireland 9 Lithuania 10 Slovenia _____________ 11 Austria 12 Macedonia 13 Belarus 14 Switzerland 15 Georgia

For as long as the earth is spinning, there will be nothing worse than josh debovie!

Nicely surprised to see a lot of early to mid 90s tracks here. no doubt there will be a lot of tosh nearing the end, sadly sales peaked when dance music wasnt quite as amazing.

I think Sanna hasn't a prayer, sadly. No doubt she'll pull off a slick performance but it all seems a little "corporate" and I think she may tank in the televote. Put a gun to my head and I think Ukraine will steal it this year.

The tamperer "If you buy this record..." was a shocking piece of crap, especially considering how marvellous "feel it" was and still is!

I would actually be disappointed with an eighth finish for the UK....perhaps I may need to prepare myself for the big day then!

I stuck a fiver on Malta to win, but I might stock another fiver each way with odds like that!

My fave "Podge" era is definitely the 91/92 era, "Everybody in the place" is seminal. I love all those rave style tracks from 1991/92. Never was into that Bob Marley remake... But then again, I'm not a fan of Bob Marley.

Good god I'm very late at joining the party here! This is basically my youth wrapped up in one! Loving the majority of these so far, Nomad, The Goodmen, Strike and Sl2 being highlights. surprised at Blue pearl being so high but still total tune! Some tosh also.... Dj sakin was truly awful in 1999 so good knows what it sounds like now!! For me, the first half of the 90s was better for dance music. The house and rave of the early 90s had a buzz about it... As opposed to the euro trance and filter house of the late 90s, which lacked the charm of the early days... But that's my opinion...

Yep, love it too. A knock out vocal on the night will be required to secure a place in the final though.

Ten years ago, if you told me the top 2 would've consisted of classy house music, I would've laughed and laughed!

I really struggle to see how this is a favourite. Overblown and style over substance. The dubstep bit is frankly rubbish.

Tossing up between UK and Denmark.... but I edged towards blighty! :) Actually feels weird to consider UK as a relatively feasible winner.

Sounds like it'll clean up the jury vote.... but that's it. Should easily sail into a top ten finish however.

I'm reacting to this in the same way I did to "Only Teardrops" last year - winner! Having heard all the other entries, I genuinely think this is a possible winner. Malta have been at this for many years and have come close to winning on at least 2 occasions, so why not now? The odds are against them but they have been known to be drastically wrong in the past. That said, I cannot stand folk music!!

I don't think this is going through... a shame, not that I like the song, but because it's HER!

I don't see Sweden winning, as slick and professional it is, I just don't see it as a winner or at least a runaway winner. This may get a few laughs, but I think Malta will be the big dark horse this year.

There's a just about enough strong song lurking there somewhere, needs a good beefing up though.

Saw disclosure last night, bloody fab - enjoy!

I think Ace is the winner here... Helena I think will be a jury hit though!

I've seen this on MTV Dance a few times, thinking it was one of those subdued house tracks that will get minimal attention... ooops! Absolutely love this and number one is defo on the cards. Absolutely loving the 80s funky throwback going on here.

Denmark is never a country I pay particular attention to, judging by the comments, I'll stick to my guns.
