01 - Poland - LOVE! Yes it's a typically "Eurovision" Song what with the danceability and build and beat and fun, but i just can't help but ADORE it! Everytime i hear it i have no choice but to get up and just ROCK OUT!
02 - Norway - I. Love. This. Song. Just adore it! It's so perfect and dancey and fun! Ever since Norway released their "Final" version (Which is just amazing), this song is in serious contention to be my number 1 of the whole year! I think it has a really good chance of winning the whole ESC!
03 - Albania - I go in and out of love with this song. I mean it's ethnic and dancey....but i just don't know if it's special enough...it's just missing something.
04 - Armenia - At first i just forget this song...but over time it's growing on me. It's got a pretty good beat and just oh such a danceable chorus (Boom...Boom...Chaka Chaka). I'm slowly falling in like with this song :)
05 - Turkey - What a Surprise! Turkey sent a rock "Non - Eurovision" Song! How New! Oh wait...they do that all the time. After their 2nd place last year, I can see how they followed the same "Formula" but this song just falls short. It get's old and boring very quickly.
06 - Serbia - Perfect. Love. Just the perfect Modern/Retro song, which is a genre i absolutely adore. I'm a bit surprised that i just adore the Serbian entry right from the start, as usually it takes me just months to appreciate them, if i ever do. It's just perfect and dancey and awesome.
07 - Russia - AMAZING! YAY RUSSIA! I just adore this song! It's dancey and fantastic and glittery and just ugh ever sooooooo AMAZING!
08 - Switzerland - Ok. At first i thought this song was just nothing special. Not good, not bad...just kinda there and listenable. However...that's all different now. I. Fucking. Adore. This. Song. Just sooo good and simple and sweet and just ever so delightful. You just can't help but smile when you hear it!
09 - Georgia - Typical Georgia. They send a mediocre song hoping Europe won't notice. Just a simple, boring rock song. Forgettable.
10 - Finland - An unusually sweet, charasmatic and serious song from Finland. This song has it's moments and sometimes i heart it. It's just so sweet and simple...you can't help but sway along. If the crowd brings out lighters (à la Denmark 2000) this song might just stand a chance. But it's just as likely to be completly overlooked.
11 - Malta - I'm always just ever so close to really liking this song...but after about a minute, i realize it's just typical Malta. Just kinda throwing a bunch of music and "dancing" and some lyrics that seem meaningful...but in the end are just kinda meaningless.
12 - San Marino - A pretty good effort from San Marino (especially considering their last try). It's a nice simple song, but nothing special.
13 - Croatia - W.I.N.N.E.R. That pretty much says it all! Best Croatian song since at least 2002...maybe ever! So just modern and dancey and perfect and just everything that's right with the world. LOVE!
14 - Iceland - A simple, catchy song. It's for sure growing on me. It's just so simple and sweet and fun and bouncy. I mean it won't win, it won't even top 10...but it just might get out of the Semi Final because of the Senior Citizen vote. Also it has one of the most dramatic Key Changes (A Eurovision MUST) ever.
15 - Hungary - Brillant. Just ever so amazing! Just like the best build ever! And what a great beat! UGH! I'd cut off a thumb to be one of her backing singers. This song is doing quite well in the OGAE (Organisation Générale des Amateurs de l'Eurovision....basically the Eurovision fan club. Each nation in Europe and some non european nations have one. Anywho, before the contest, all the OGAE clubs get together with their National club and award points in the ESC style to their top 10 songs of that year). I have high hopes for it, but it could very well be one of those songs that's loved by ESC fans but not by Europe.
16 - Portugal - Oh Portugal! All your songs just sound soooo Portugese and folksy. I get that this song is sung by Comedians and "Relevant" (It's about Revolutions)...but it's just silly. Just ever so silly. That doesn't mean i don't dance along from time to time....but it does mean i can't take it seriously.
17 - Lithuania - Lithuania *Face Palm*. They alternate between just outlandish "Joke" Entries and oddly heart - felt and serious ballads. I guess this year it's a ballad. Forgettable and boring.
18 - Azerbaijan - There's quite a fuss being made about this song...probs cause it's Azerbaijan and for some reason, no matter what Azerbaijan presents, Europeans immediatly declare it brilliant and love it. I mean it has it's moments and it's a pretty good ballad....but i just don't love it as much as Europeans seems to.
19 - Greece -
Dude. Greece. Way to ruin a spectacular Eurovision reputation with this crap. Ugh just such an awful song. No beat. No melody. Just a couple of silly greek guys trying to rap and trying to pretend that they aren't just awful. I just don't get it and i pray i never do.
