What were your favourite songs from this year's Eurovision?
My top five:
1) Moldova - really original, catchy, and totally different from the other entries
2) Romania - catchy, nice Spanish lyrics, v. danceable
3) Malta - would have made a nice final song ('This is Malta's night) - sadly it was not to be
4) Iceland - I'm always a big fan of their of their entries, and this year was no exception - what a great chorus!
5) Serbia - my favourite of the high placers. I always have a soft spot for the non-English language songs

Denmark

Spain, Estonia, Lithuania, Cyprus, Bosnia

Italy: I actually thought Italy would win, despite Sweden being favourite to win. The song seemed catchy, instant and different (as in, it wasn't pop/electro like most of the other songs), so I was surprised to not do as well.
2) Turkey - Love Me Back
3) Sweden - Euphoria
4) France - Echo (You and I)
5) Albania - Suus
Really? The Swedish one has been hyped up for months. It was that or Russia, quite predictable really.
2. Russia
Was surprised Denmark did so badly. Also expected Spain to be in the top 3, instead of finishing 10th. Would be a shame if some voters were taking the "don't vote for us, we can't afford it" comment to heart.
Greece - Aphrodisiac (9/10)
{Italy - whatever it was (8.5/10)
{Moldova - again, can't remember the title (8.5/10)
Ireland - Jedward (8/10)
{Denmark - Should've Known Better (7.5/10)
{Spain - Stay With Me (7.5/10)
{FYR Macedonia - have scrawled it down but can't read it (7.5/10)
{Ukraine - Be My Guest (7.5/10)
France - Echo (?) (7/10)
Quite a few more got 5's to 6.5's. I generally like the more catchy, upbeat 'fluff' songs; I can admire the 'professionally done' songs which could serve as decent standalone chart music, but they don't always accord with my tastes. I did think the Italian Amy Winehouse lady's entry was of genuinely outstanding quality last night
My poorest were Hungary - Sound Of Our Hearts (2/10), Estonia - something or other (1.5/10), and both Albania (onion head woman) and Serbia (dirge) scored big fat nul points. I gave old Dinck 4.5/10
GR I totally agree - my absolute stand-out favourite. Even better when sung all in Italian. She has an album out but at the moment it's an absolute fortune on Amazon. We are having a week in Italy during the summer and I fully intend to buy Nina's album when I am over there.
