Me too!

I mean, there are a lot of ballads this year, but out of the 4 songs on Saturday, only one was a ballad (Hungary) so it's not wall to wall wailing

Doubtful that Sweden will send a ballad either (Sorry Jessica), ditto Germany, although Norway would be silly not to!

It's All About You the year after was upbeat.

My favourite era is the 90's

It's only half nine it feels so much later after that

So Aus is sending a power ballad?

I'm still sort of questioning whether people actually know what a ballad is.

Plus Feel the Passion

Agree.
With yet another female ballad I may just watch a re-run of the UMK NF on may 23rd. That was fabulous entertainment and multiple song types.

Ok an hour left till the AUSSIES!!! there are only 3 reveals im looking forward to this year really... Melodifestivalen, The UK Reveal on Sunday and The Aussies!

Got it in one. I've always said (based on absolutely no musical knowledge or evidence) that it's much easier to write and sing a ballad than an uptempo number.

she looks like Gillian Anderson a bit . Not so much scully but stella gibson from ThE FALL

It does sounds a rather Rlapy ending. I bet she cant do the lip growl at the end like conchita though.

Oh yes, of course.

I need to relisten to conty's 2004 fave - I've forgotten it

After all these strong female moody ballads, I hope the BBC really have gone for something 'interesting'. I hope Australia send something decent after all this. If not, why bother? Just send a couple of idiots dressed as kangaroos and koalas singing G'day Europe.

Would have loved the stonka All for Victory at Eurovision. A gayers dream.

I'm kinda hoping that its a cheeky reference to the ballad heavy year, but they wouldn't have that much knowledge of Eurovision down under would they?

Either that, or the head of AUS delegation is Katie Taylor and they've hired Bonnie

Uptempo is easy..... Good uptempo hard

The buggers in azerbajahn are making us wait till the 15th !!!!

I'd have handed in my gay card if they'd picked that

Still at least it has a tune unlike the UMK winner

1 Spain
2 Iceland
3 Greece
4 Latvia
5 Serbia
6 Malta
7 Hungary
8 Netherlands
9 Italy
10 Estonia
11 Slovenia
12 Lithuania
13 France
14 Switzerland
15 Georgia
16 Ireland
17 Macedonia
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
18 Cyprus
19 Belarus
20 Denmark
21 Moldova
22 Finland

They are probably in panic that everyone's nicked their genre this year

I've got EVERYTHING crossed for Azerbaijan doing something like Day After Day again (it'll never happen in a million years but hey ho )

would have been an amazing show. I didnt realise Angelo did the voice ireland

Listening to Belarus revamp - why oh why did they not go the Milki way?

I adored that song. Brilliant. The demonoid brothers
