I don't know if I am the person on this board who is excited about this year's Eurovision but I am already excited about this year's Eurovision because I already liked 5 songs from this year,Despite of the controversies last year, We cant deny last years winner is great. The song Euphoria doesnt get old to me. I am kinda sad that Turkey and Bosnia withdrew, knowing they have good placings in the last year. On the other Hand Armenia is back because Azerbaijan is not the host country anymore. My biggest favorite to win this year is a toss up Norway and Switzerland.

Hi,at first I listened to all the songs and I was disappointed, then I kept listening until I heard three songs that I liked.I believe one of them is going to win.I agree 100% with you on Norway, this song is catchy.The more I listen to it, the more I like it.The guy from Iceland has a sweet song, not a winner maybe, but could be in a top 3.And Switzerland - good entry.I want them to wear those uniforms because this is what makes the song sound the way it does.Cyprus caught my attention too, not bad for an Eurovision ballad.

I really wish Switzerland will qualify but I am kinda sad so many people are attacking them just because theyw ere from a Christan group but they were not saying anything religious on their song. Their song is relatable to people regardless of their faith. In case of Iceland, I hope they wont translate the song in English,it sounds the best the way it is. I am dissapointed at Sweden,I watched their national finals, they have so many good songs but they end up sending a guy with a boring generic song, I think he only won because he have the look teen girls will fall for but his song is boring. I have a feeling they donbt want to win this year becaue hosting is expensive. Seeing Cyprus sending a Ballad instead of a Booty shaker is very refreshing. Scandinavia is like the region of the world that makes great music.

I hadn't even realized that Azerbadjien isn't the host country anymore! Did they run out of money? Or was it too much fighting down there? Nor have I heard the song we're sending. At least I heard about the singer before, Margaret Berger was in Idol or some other singing contest some years ago. I have heard the one that didn't make it, some song called Bombo or Bomba. It was quite stupid really. A bit surprised at your favourites, neither we nor Switzerland is usually anybodys favourite :-) But at least both countries can afford to host it next year if any of us win, it's been getting more and more expensieve.

Margaret Berger's song is Feed you my love, It reminds me a bit of the 90's song Life in Mono. Its a very Dark techno song. By far its having a lot of likes and have the most positive review. I rarely see Dark themed songs in Eurovision that's why I like Margaret's entry. I know last year, Norway is last place but Norway will place higher this year. Sweden will be hosting this year because they won last year, I think that is the rule, winner will be next year's host country. I wonder what will happen in San Marino Wins, They were a country with Population of 30,000..... Last year's eurovision have a stadium with 50,000 people..... so Imagine 50,000 people in a country with population of 30,000. Because Russia's entry last year (a girl band composed of 6 grannies) were runner up last year.... lots of countries decided to send old musicians this year due to the hype of the Russian Grannies.

I remember the Russian grannies, they were quite cute but didn't really sing in tune :-) I don't think San Marino is in the competition. I think they might have a football team, but they're not in the Eurovision song contest. Neither is, as far as I can remember, Liechtenstein, Andorra nor the Vatican :-) Although they should have good choirs in the Vatican. If San Marino won anything, I suppose they would have to arrange the finals in Italy. The way Italy has been run the last years, that could in itself proof difficult so lets hope they don't :-)

I believe last year San Marino have an entry and its titled "facebook song" which sounds like a Rebecca Black song and They haven't learned their lesson and will send the same singer again. I think the only purpose of San Marino is to give 12 points to Italy, I mean Cyprus and Greece purposely give 12 points to each other regardless of their song quality. If UK is smart, England,Scotland,Northern Ireland,Wales and Isle of man will compete as separate countries so they can have their own voting block. anyway my reason for liking European music, Unlike the American and Korean Music industry, European singers doesnt have Baphomet and Illuminati symbols on their music videos. I found those symbols annoying already.
