    I'm so very, very tired of Azerbaijan's Eurovision output.

    The song is okay but (thankfully) not a real contender.
    I don't think I could stand another Contest from the atmosphere vacuum that is Baku.

    Surely the Presidents daughter will "win" tomorrow, though?

    (If the organizers value their human rights)

    Oh I thought that was last years host, well yeah she's going to win then really otherwise there will be a melt down

    I think she just shares the same name as the president's daughter and the host last year, so there's actually three Leyla Aliyevas.

    I think Leyla Aliyeva is probably just a really common name.

    If, as presumed, Farid wins the Azeri NF, he may end up singing one of those songs at Eurovision. There are 10 new English language songs being performed in tomorrow's Final and anyone, or none, of them may be sent to Malmo. The list of titles is on this page......

    http://esckaz.com/2013/

    Sleazy Mo is the best titled.:D

    Yeah enough ballads, I do quite like that one though but I was hoping for something uptempo from Azerbaijan for a change.

    If Farid wins and they go with that dreary ballad then he's not going to able to incorporate this. Surely the only reason he picked "Love is Blind" as his Eurovision song.

    I haven't seen any of their selection process this year but considering that's the first time I've seen the Azeri audience do anything except sitting there looking glum like they were last year, then it can only be a positive if he's picked.

    I didn't want to like it at the start as it basically is Quedaté Conmigo part 2, but seeming as Quedate Conmigo is my favourite Eurovision song it's beginning to really win me over!

    How did spain not win with that song in 2012. Its one of the best songs of eurovision ever. So good! Rrgards georgia I think someone had a look at nikki and ell from 2011 and decided to rework it

    Crikey, loving the dark feel of France, but really don't know how it will translate to a Eurovision stage, it's the sort of song that I love listening to but a Eurovision song? :confused:

    Anouk has made the transition better I think

    Regarde bien derrière
    Et ce sera moi.

    I quite like it. It'll probably need big staging but that's true of all Eurovision songs.

    Finally managed to watch the performances in Moldova......how atrocious is their webfeed.:eek:

    Aliona was pretty much spot on. Sadly I can't say the same about Felicia or Svetty (no wonder she wore a mask, her singing was as flat as Norfolk unfortunately.:()

    I'm not sure people should get too attached to Boris Covali's song Runaways, there have already been cries of plaigiarism.....

    compare and contrast...
