It's good to see that Russia has confirmed after things being up in the air for a while. We'll have to see what happens between now and the contest.

Is it just me or is the official list of participants revealed earlier each year? Still, really happy with yet another 43 (let's hope it stays that way this time!)

I don't mind doing the 7th Nov. Maybe NF Guilty Pleasures or reviving the Martina Awards with a Worst NF Vocal round.

She's leaving it late....how very random. Of course might not even be related to the UK entry.

I think the "Professional Submission" is independent from the "Public Submission" side of things. That is the perception I am getting.
What do we all know about Mahan Moin outside from the fact she is Swedish/Iranian and she sung Aleo in Melfest 2014? Mahan is amaze! If she can deliver us an Azizami or maybe a bit safer with an Elysium that'd be great.

Here is my problem with NF rounds. I have only done 1 NF season and only have knowledge of other ones as you lot put the vids on here from other contests. I am not saying don't do it because that is stupid but I can only have a guilty pleasure from songs I know from first watch during the NF.
Oh well sod it! I will have to work with what little knowledge I've got! ![]() Also, look at the old results of BBAnnes NF Rejects for each year since 2012 and the other NF comps we have had - many of the performances are still on Youtube. (Comps done: http://dsfantasyesc.wikia.com/wiki/DS_Fantasy_ESC_Wiki) Enjoy!

Yeah that's how I'm seeing it, the song-writing boot camp being separate from the public artist submissions.

Edea Demaliaj winning could lead to Albania being my favourite of the year (for those who haven't listened to Ne I highly recommend doing so because it's one of the best Albanian songs I've ever heard). Not familiar with any of the others by name, assuming we've seen some of them before.

What will Doinița's, DoReDoS and co do now that the Moldovan NF has potentially been scrapped?
Moldova should just go with Aliona Moon again though |

Moldova should just go with Aliona Moon again though If they're forced to go internal then nobody deserves it more considering she's tried 8 times already.

Add my Yay to the list!
I really like the upbeat Albanian entries, Juliana Pasha, Elhaida Dani. I watched Rona Nishliu in stunned silence wondering how in the name of hell she does that with her voice. I quite liked ‘Përrallë’, minor Bond theme and all, before they wrecked it in what must surely be the greatest case of self-sabotage in the Contest’s history. It’d be good if Eneda Tarifa tried again with something better, she’s got a great voice. I’m in favour of any changes to Festivali i Këngës that gives good songs a chance at winning and maybe not destroying itself later. But most importantly – they have to put some money on the stage, if they don’t, they are wasting their time. I back Aliona Moon too for reference – experienced pair of hands Moldova could use. I didn’t dislike ‘Falling Stars’, I just figure they need something with a wee bit of oomph…. Nice to hear that Russia is going to Kyiv, to drop-out looks a tad churlish. They were always going to think they were robbed if they didn’t win fine. I would remind them of the Irish voting on UK entries from about 1968 to the late 1970s, marking us down even on songs that win – Brotherhood of Man got 3 points, they marked New Seekers pretty hard too. Lulu got nothing from them – I mean Lulu for God’s sakes! Fair enough, 1969 was a hellish year in NI, but it is one of the more obvious cases of political voting going. The BBC did not stomp out because Cliff was beaten by Massiel with a chorus composed entirely of the word 'La'. You either go in wholeheartedly, accept that the system is imperfect and give your best anyway or you don’t show up. And realistically, it wasn’t the Crimea that cost them political votes – it was Russia's appalling anti-gay laws and there’s no two ways about it. Ukraine is not a paragon in this regard, but the LGBT community flexed their muscles, that would only become more blatant if we downgraded the juries. They can't stomach that, maybe it would be better if they didn't come at all…. PS - my dear Ross, regarding the NF Reject poll - I have no clue what the usual way for voting is. That was what I was asking, evidently imprecisely. I just normally make my own private judgement and then try to figure out who won from the thread. |
