25. POLAND
I Can Feel It - Hey Violet
Don't be fooled by the happy-go-lucky demeanor displayed by this band; that silly string is in fact incredibly toxic, and check out the practice they're getting smashing those pinatas to death. Underestimate them at your peril.
26. LEBANON
Popular Song - Mika ft. Ariana Grande
A cautionary tale for those planning to take on this wicked duo. Ariana and Mika can indeed turn their enemies into stone and even each other. All grudges will be remembered...
27. KOSOVO
Nuk te Fal - Shkurte Gashi
Shkurte has no problem establishing her dominance from the get-go; just look at that throne in the SKY. The question is, is there a radiant dawn on the horizon, or is Kosovo's sun fated to set?
28. BELGIUM
Fortune Cookie - Emma Bale ft. Milow
This pair won't be bringing any explosions to the arena, instead relying on the simplicity of their music to stand out. What they lack in chorus lyrics they more than make up for in cultural appropriation.
29. ARMENIA
Requiem - Lilit Hovhannisyan
This is definitely in my top 93 songs about the Armenian genocide. How about you? The word 'genocide' apparently doesn't exist in the Capital's dictionary (nor Turkey's), but Lilit and her muscular male companion are happy to introduce it, on fire if necessary.
30. MOLDOVA
Pretty Baby - Wonder City
Wonder City have learned how to control zombies, as long as said mindless slaves are all female and wearing the same jeans. Other tributes are advised to learn how to play guitar, sooner rather than later.
Of course! ARe you going to do reviews of the last set of songs to be released?
I will do, probably sometime tomorrow evening since I'm currently busy doing other stuff. I don't want to give up on these sort of reviews like I do every edition.

Fair enough, I haven't had time to do reviews the last few editions so I understand, but I look forward to others' reviews even if that doesn't match the actual results!
I have had Hey Violet lined up for aa while for Poland It's always funny and interesting to see who has the same search skills and thinking as yourself!
Edit: I also thought about the Popular song when I had Lebanon and chose Mika - wasn't sure how it would go down I guess!

I always enjoy reading other people's reviews too, and that's why I write mine as well (as bizarre as my opinions are compared to other people ).

Oh yeah, I like seeing how many people enter songs on my shortlist (to be fair I have around 500 songs on my shortlist so I'm not sure more songs exist... ) but in a way I feel worried about sending a song that's been around for a couple of months because I feel like people skip over the songs I want to send and that makes me think the song won't do well.

I have had playlists for every country for a while, but I stopped playing for a while and when I came back I tried to update as much as I could. I've since sorted a few of them but haven't quite replaced everything so am a little short on songs at the moment! Except Bosnia of course
So which bit are you doing on the co-hosting then GreekFan?
Alex is your main host, as he is way more experienced than me and his creativity is beyond impressive ( also, he was the one who found the song which gave us the crown ). I am going to take some weight off his shoulders by hosting the half of the QFs and 1 Semi. We havent decided whos presenting the final yet!

Well, enjoy your first experience of hosting anyway! At least you get Alex to help you!
I don't have enough right now so I'm hoping to get some more overnight so I can post another 6 tomorrow afternoon.
No worries! I think I will wait the to do some reviews until the quarter finals! Usually I have been busy doing recaps etc so don't get much time for reviews - now other people are doing them and I don't have to, I can do some reviews for a change!

Those 500 songs are all for Bosnia of course.
I'm doing a similar thing, I just note down whatever I find in the playlist, then when I get a country specifically in a contest, I'll look more. This is why I'm struggling with my good country because I have no idea what to send because I haven't properly looked and I don't know where to look.
I am sorry to say if you didn't send in a song for Azerbaijan, you have now missed your chance as it's been taken!
31. AZERBAIJAN
The One - Eldar Gasimov
Look at the pure energy erupting from the limbs of Eldar's backing dancers. That's going to be a powerful weapon by the time we reach the second chorus. What lengths will Azerbaijan go to ensure one of their creations is successful in the arena?
32. KAZAKHSTAN
Aita Bersin - Zhanar Dugalova
Zhanar left the rest of Kesh You behind. She doesn't need them anymore, and has borrowed some extras from The Matrix. The story behind this video is that you should be accepted for who you are, as long as your dance routines are perfectly synchronised.
33. NEW ZEALAND
Paint Me Black - Ben Hazlewood ft. Mali Koa Hood
The defending champions are training in some poisonous mist and mud while staring into a mirror to face their biggest enemy: THEMSELVES. Overcoming these physical and mental barriers may proove even more difficult than sorting out Mali's roots.
34. UKRAINE
Look - Onuka
Everything's gone a bit District 12 with these outfits. Katniss is probably not going to be pleased. I'm not sure what Onuka's super powers are exactly, but growing to eight feet tall and transforming their heads into thunderclouds are part of their arsenal.
35. PORTUGAL
Shatter'd - Tynisha Keli
Someone else with lethal-looking earrings. Tynisha's dress isn't the most maneuverable, but she also has a jacket ensemble for when things get tough. The microphone doubles up as a light saber, apparently.
36. KALININGRAD
Chameleon - Sasha Holiday
Meet Sasha, the arena's resident changeling. She's obviously undergoing some pretty intense training throughout this video, whether it be a cross country stroll or being trapped in a light tube cage. Watch out, as she could be anywhere!
I'm going to be out at 7pm, so I'm announcing the next 2 extra countries now. However, please do not send any songs for these two before 7pm. Anything sent before 7pm will be disqualified and turned into a muttation.
Bosnia Herzegovina
Belarus
The last two countries will be released tomorrow at 7pm.
Comments
I was going to take Azerbaijan but I have better songs for worse countries on that list.
Bosnia?
Perhaps it is, but perhaps it isn't
Hmmm, I bet it is Bosnia
We'll see
Of course!

I actually found a catchy slutpop for Bosnia. But, I can't resist entering Free.mp3. I may or may not enter it in this contest or in the future though
Edit: is this Belgian video not working for everyone? http://youtu.be/6Z1yQ14CEHw
Well, enjoy your first experience of hosting anyway! At least you get Alex to help you!
Thanks, looking forward for your reviews!
It works for me! A stealth District 4 entry right there.
I don't have enough right now so I'm hoping to get some more overnight so I can post another 6 tomorrow afternoon.
