Just caught up with the rest of the Melfest clips.......finally looks like they are getting their act together. Janet's song sounds likely to be what I've been waiting for.
Missed the German NF (shame, cos it sounded good!) but just caught Cascada's live performance and I'm very impressed! Always liked to her music but she's surprisingly good live too! Top 5 for sure, I reckon
Cyprus is a bit loungey, but I'm sure she'll nail it live.
I still think Nikki Ponte would have been the obvious/ correct choice!
On a more terrifying note, I just can't stop listening to Marry Me. It sounds like it should be a Rom-Com's (possibly starring Sandra Bullock) theme tune!
Ah 2 semi final for Romania makes sense - just had a look back and Zaleilah, how did this not do better? Such a summery song, would have thought a top 10 finish at least!
Welcome fruity! I'm not going either, but there's a few here who are
Will you be joining us for National Final season? There's some cracking events coming up, with MelFest hopefully about to get better, Eesti Laul from Estonia starting on Saturday, and if you get a chance to catch the Latvian final too, oh my there are some performances in there
Hi BBAnne! I'm definitely going to try my best to catch some of the other NFs (already managed to grab that acronym from reading these forums )
I have to say, despite people saying that MelFest hasn't got going yet, I really like Skyline. Ok David Lindgren seems to strain (or rather scream) the high notes but the poppyness of it is right up my street. Really like Hello Goodbye too but with it only getting to the second chance, highly doubt it will be the choice for Sweden.
Thanks for the tips, sounds like Latvia will be a fun one to watch!

Totally agree with you, Zaleilah was in my top 3 last year. I wonder if perhaps their performance let it down a bit because as a recorded track it definitely kicked off the summer for me

It was one of my favourites last year, one of the only songs that found its way onto my iPod

I think the technical issues scuppered their chances.
There is a hilarious gif of the moment she points to her earpiece when she realises it's all going wrong, but I can't find it!
In a country of 81m+ people? It doesn't sound good to me.
could go either way, only a small percentage of the viewers will actually vote anyway I think and lots of people may have thought they had done their bit voting for free on the radio vote.
Lots of good uptempo songs, waiting on a big ballad, wonder where it will come from. Serbia is my first thought, but then again Anouk may well do good with a big ballad.
Any news on when we will be hearing the song from the Netherlands?

Not forgetting Luminita.

2 semi finals first.
Two semi-finals of 16. Not sure how many they are having in the final though.
Poor Nica and Joe -- your love for them doesn't seem too elevated imo...you should be

It's like Ben Mitchell when the Ritalin has ran out.

Germany are now 3rd in the odds on odds checker.
