    Norway & Denmark are the only ones that sound like potential winners so far.

    Not to me -- I think Ukraine given a little polish could though...

    I still think Denmark sounding like a potential winner is more a reflection of other songs than the merits of teardrops by itself. I quite like it before you all jump on me :)

    From the songs so far I could only see Denmark or Ukraine taking the win in Malmo. Whilst Norway have a really good song it won't win, may do well though. The rest, no chance

    I have no idea which one I prefer atm as I love them both so much, so I'm putting them both joint top of my list. I am a bit worried Norway won't do as well as it deserves to though, as it didn't really jump out at me on first listen. I definitely think Denmark has that special something to make it a strong contender though.

    I can't even remember how Albania goes.

    I keep forgetting they've selected it's THAT dull.

    I'm still not convinced about Denmark, it's all a bit contrived for my liking

    I can really see Margaret pulling off a fantastic result in Malmo, it's impossible to say whether it's a winner until we've heard the UK entry ;)

    Norway - Fashion Alert - the hostess' dress for this second part is hideous!

    I was distracted by how bad it was too!


    Each time I hear I Feed You My Love I like it more and more - Margaret gets the performance perfect! Just hope it has enough instant impact in Malmö as it deserves to do very well.

    If only Andrius looked like Brandon Flowers :(

    Qualifiers in Latvia tonight

    •Ieva Sutugova – Cold Heart
    •Marta Ritova – I Am Who I Am
    •Grupa PeR – Here We Go
    •Dāvids Kalandija & Dināra – Fool In Love
    •Grupa Pieneņu Vīns – The One
    •Niko – One

    No Phoenix Fly?!?!

    Mind you, those results are from Eurovision.tv, and we know how well they did in Malta last week :p

    PeR with 2 songs in the final then. Don't think it'll harm them too much, but the male Adelen looks to be their strongest competition judging from the voting numbers. I'd say Samanta may have a slim outside chance.

    Well Latvia are screwed again this year, that's the only song I thought would qualify.

    I think the juries are going to go big on Mags personally.

    Although I have Denmark on top, I don't think it will win, I just don't think its strong enough to appeal to eastern countries - plus I don't know how the jury will take it.

    Feed You My Love for me is a song that sounds infinitely better live than it does recorded which of course is no bad thing with Eurovision.

    I agree it's a bit calculated in how it comes across which doesn't work. I wouldn't be surprised if a few songs already picked beat it and that's 10 in.

    Margaret I really like a lot. Not sure how it will do in all honesty but I don't really care :p

    Just got back, really happy Margaret won in Norway, slightly sad that Finland went for Krista, my least favourite of the three, but it's still an ok song. Now I just need to catch up on Sweden, Latvia and Hungary ;) The only songs I could see possibly wining in Malmö are Denmark, Norway and Ukraine, but I don't think we've seen the winner yet.

    Is there any news on Belgium yet? Were we not supposed to be getting a new version of Love Kills around now?

    Definitely! But the crowd loved Niko, must shuffle off to find the "performance" for anyone who missed it :D

    Nothing on the Tube yet :(
