I've spent most of the week listening to the official CD, has really helped me attempt to rank the songs. There are only two I really despise now - Georgia and Belgium.
Albania has grown on me so much, she sounds like Shakira a lot in places. Malta has finally clicked with me too, the little piano melody that appears during the verses is so heavenly.
Lithuania I've gone off a lot, it sounds really harsh in studio version. Not a great lover of Italy or the Netherlands either.
Biggest travesty though - why is so Moldova so low in the ranking??? It is such a great song, turn it up loud and it sounds lush.
And Portugal too, just amazing, I am trying to learn the words so I can sing along.
We agree on so much! I do like Italy and Netherlands though! Albania is really growing on me too.
OK, there's about 7 hours still to vote, and quite scarily,there's a tie for the lead!
3rd place is just 6 points behind, with 4th place a further point behind - one set of votes could change the whole thing (it's like 2003 all over again)
Still waiting for ...

scorewiz seems to think it's the song with the most votes that wins rather than number of douzers .. I'm gonna go with that as I have no idea how to override it!
Oh great, Katrine Lukins pops up on my YouTube recommendations and I watch just for the Martina lols and flashbacks.. and now I have You Are The Reason stuck in my head.. It's really darn catchy, and in perhaps another universe she could have sang in tune and be headed to Copenhagen.

The studio version is great!
If only there was some technical wizard that could find a way to hack the song out of Eurovision.tv's replay of the final www.eurovision.tv/page/webtv?program=96163 (Katrine dying on her arse starts at 1hr 20 :D)
1.07 to 1.25 is the best piece of music in the whole contest this year for me.
Any other year..........
Absolutely, it's much underrated. There's a swing and a flow to the song which builds to a more than passable key change and we should finally get a live performance from them at the Russian Eurovision party in Moscow on Sunday when Mei also breaks her silence and Sanna breaks her purdah.

I don't dislike Italy or Netherlands I just can't really connect with them. There's quite a rock diva sass about Emma that I like, but her performance at the German NF was horrible. The Netherlands is just pleasant, not much I can add
I see you really like Slovenia, that one is growing on me. Not sure about whether being bi-lingual works for it though.

Emma's live vocals concern me after that disaster, my like for it is purely based on the studio version. I'd be all over Netherlands if they were contestants on The Voice USA, (I'd be all over Waylon too if he cut his hair - yum!), but I prefer too many others more, still nice enough though.
I unashamedly adore Slovenia! It's that magical flute and the music what does it, plus it helps that Hannah Mancini from last year is one of the writers, so I kind of want redemption on her behalf!
On the newest interview on the ESC YouTube page, the German entrant has also confirmed that her song is fantastic. Hardly gonna say it's crap, is she? xD!

I really love Hersi's voice. Especially how she pronounces 'done' with multiple syllables. 'Done-nnn'.
Thanks, so do I!
See you in Tirana next year.
We agree on so much!
It's a really good song to drive to, too
How the stage graphics will look for Spain
Uploader says: "I made the stage by myself in Sketchup, animations you've seen here aren't the ones you'll see in Copenhagen, it's just my vision"
Oh I just watched it on twitter didn't really rad it
Just to let you know it is the country with most votes that wins, its been that way since 2004.
And it's a brilliant song to go jogging to as well, for those not willing to give out CO2 emissions.
The studio version is great!

I Saw ths q somewhere. I thunk the answer is yes. He has to whistle live.
He was their first JESC entry last year. Perhaps he'll be Valentina's replacement, since she's confirmed she won't be back next year!

I watched all of that. Thanks. I think.
There are some things you can never unwatch despite wishing you had that particular ability.
This is one of them.
I prefer this fabulous version of Israel:D
