Ghosty.

Cristina Croitoru & Karizma's entry should be pretty brilliant based on previous material by both artists! When Life Is Grey was robbed by the awful jury in 2011 :(

She's apparently doing a song with Kleerup too. That could potentially be every kind of amazing going!

I have heard that Girl Overboard was meant to be a Eurovision entry but obviously that never materialised. Whenever they've visited other countries, they've often said that as a group they enjoy representing the UK abroad and are proud to do so, so I wouldn't say Eurovision is completely out of the question for them. Precisely. It's the only thing she could do to get anything out of winning The Voice really, hence why I think it's the most obvious option for the BBC. She has tweeted recently that news is due soon from her but she can't say what it is just yet.

As much as I hate Will.I.Am, that would be pretty awesome. I think it's more likely to be Leanne Mitchell though.

Hmm, it's not all over the Netherlands just yet. One would expect all of Russia, Ukraine, Estonia, Serbia, Lithuania, Moldova and Denmark to qualify but then after that it's open to anyone, so it just depends on the song! Semi final 2 will be very interesting though. Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia will probably all be safely though, along with Romania but any of the others could make it, except probably San Marino.

Which would be a complete waste of time, likewise if people are thinking of entering stuff from the Sound of 2013 poll. Just a quick reminder too that anything that's currently or will be taking part in Eurovision selections is banned. Anything that has taken part in a selection but wasn't selected is allowed though.

Yeah, Catch Me really isn't that great :( Not heard Julie's track yet, but I also think Tom Hugo is the best out of this selection.

I'm torn between a Swede and a Canadian. After last edition's Arlissa vs. Retro Stefson debacle, I'm really hoping I plump for the right entry this time!

It's just perfect :wub:

Allergic was robbed, such a tune! Good to see her back!

Finalists announced, clips can be heard here 01 Frederikke Vedel - Jeg har hele tiden vidst det (Really nice slice of electro-pop) 02 Brinck - Human (MOR acoustic track, nowhere near as good as Believe Again) 03 Kate Hall - I Am Not Alone (This year's token schlager pop track, pretty decent) 04 Louise Dubiel - Rejs dig op (Another decent pop track, sounds a bit like Aura Dione I suppose) 05 Daze - We Own the Universe (A proper Eurodance moment!) 06 Simone Egeriis - Awake (Generic female pop track, sounds like something that would easily come 10th in BJSC) 07 Jack Rowan feat. Sam Gray - Invincible (Fairly modern sounding/slightly generic dance track) 08 Emmelie de Forest - Only Teardrops (This one sounds a lot more like Aura Dione than Louise Dubiel's track did actually. Like a Celtic version of Geronimo I guess) 09 Albin - Beautiful to Me (The token boring pop/rock track sung by a male. I fear another 2008/9 moment when Denmark plumps for this over something that's far more amazing) 10 Mohamed - Unbreakable (The biggest name amongst the selection I'd say. A former X Factor contestant with a track that sounds a bit like Danny Saucedo's Amazing, but not quite as amazing) Not a bad song here at all, my favourite based on the clips is Frederikke Vedel's track though.

Latvia started off so well but haven't entered anything truly brilliant since 2005 for me... 01 Brainstorm - My Star 02 F.L.Y. - Hello From Mars 03 Marie N - I Wanna 04 Walters and Kazha - The War Is Not Over 05 Arnis Mednis - Too Much Aisha & Anmary in 6th and 7th. The rest were quite awful really, especially Questa Notte and Probka.

I usually quite like that sound as long as the song has female vocals. Ideally, it should have been Colonia though.

Loreen still holding up well! :wub: Great to see Haim enter too! :D

Hey! :D My comments: 1. Frida Sundemo - Snow (NEW) (CR-1) I noticed you're championing this! I am loving the second verse, but the rest of the song hasn't really clicked with me yet. I'm going to give it time to grow though! 7. Cascada - Glorious (NEW) (CR-7) I would love to see this in Eurovision! I'm really not sure Germany will choose it though sadly :( 25. Diandra - Colliding Into You (NEW) (CR-25) I'm disappointed in all honesty with this. It'll make for a nice Eurovision entry, but I was expecting a lot more! I think Finland will probably choose one of the other acts, possibly Arion or Rautakourassa 35. Blue - Hurt Lovers (NEW) (CR-35) I do rather like this! I doubt it'll be a big UK hit, but it's good to see they still have a fanbase in Germany. I do find it odd how some British artists can have far more and lasting success in Germany than their homeland! (Kim Wilde, Melanie C, Hurts, Amy Macdonald...) 36. David Bowie - Where Are We Now? (NEW) (CR-36) I don't get the love for this at all! 45. BLITZKIDS mvt. - Heart On The Line (NEW) (CR-45) Another entry I wouldn't mind Germany sending to the contest, but I can't see it happening myself

Thanks Rich! :D 03 - Yep, I also made a new compilation for the shop which features all the re-entries on it, so therefore I've been listening to the songs more and they've grown on me now! 13 - It's heading back up next week, but whether it'll get a new peak in the coming weeks remains to be seen! 33 - Agreed, it's my favourite single from them in a while! 53 - There wasn't as much progression in their sound as I'd have hoped on this latest album. The second album was brilliant as we'd had the fun of the debut, followed by the slightly more serious electro-pop. I was hoping they'd head in another, possibly even more electro direction but instead they regressed and at the same time failed to recapture what made their debut material so good :( 59 - It's nice, but she really does milk her albums of singles! I suppose she is guaranteed Radio 2 playlisting though everytime, so that probably brings in a lot of money in itself! Thanks for commenting! :D Good to hear it's got a new record for you! It's still a couple of months off my record - Agnes' Release Me managed 59 weeks on the chart, helped by it's UK release coming so long after the initial Swedish release! Thanks to everyone else who replied! :D

Even more Radio 2 friendly than Dansk Melodi Grand Prix! Back To Fantasy is marginally my favourite.

I quite like Þú, but it wouldn't work in Eurovision at all. It has got an air of Tone Damli about it though. Meðal andanna is rather nice too, but is definitely lacking power. Skuggamynd is pretty decent and I imagine I'm alone here, but I quite like Sá sem lætur hjartað ráða för too. Ég syng! is as good as I was expecting, but I don't think it's quite right for Eurovision either. Augnablik however... *.* Oh Erna. This has to win, it's just gorgeous!

In love :wub: YktMYN5B3HE

Most predictable top 3 ever :lol: Congrats Persephonia nevertheless! Very pleased with 5th! Thanks for the votes :D

Adam, Freeze and Juran Juran :wub: Really pleased to see İşporta doing fairly well at the moment :D
