4 semis of 7 songs each, the top 2 from each qualify directly for the final. Then 3rd and 4rd place go on to the second chance round (Andra Chansen) where they face each other in duels and the winner of each duel goes to the final. 12 finalists in total

Still working my way through the Belarus chosen. It's a slog.
Vladislav Kurasov looks less like Justin Bieber than he did last season in the Ukrainian semi-finals. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoU1mwheegc Strangely enough his English seems worse this time around. ![]() Surely Nuteki can't get away with ripping off the intro to Coldplay's "Sky Full Of Stars". It's bloody blatant. Napoli's effort is bloody lame. Place your bets now as to how many NF's she'll be chancing her arm in this year. Navi is my pick, but even that song isn't a patch on their previous entry. ![]() I presume they have the option to change the song of the winning act prior to May as previously, otherwise I don't see Belarus in the Final again with any of these efforts. |

It wasnt the first time she had returned either...
I hope Loreen is not "in it to win it" but more to have "fun" and promote album, and it seems like it is. http://wiwibloggs.com/2016/11/30/lor...um-way/158206/ |

Nuteki - 'Take My Heart' - I'm sure I've heard that opening music before? Reeks of plagiarism. Shouty nonsense. Go buy yourself a Lemsip.

Am liking what I'm hearing so far. |

Javian's "No somos heroes" is very "Sofia" in sound imo. Think it may do well in the webvoting.
And "Sparkling Lights" has an Empire Of The Sun feel to it for me. Really liking that one. "Esclava" has diva written all over it. OTT and majestic.

Dani J - Background music in a Tapas bar, this is so naff and outdated. In his head he probably thinks he's the next Jason Derulo.
LeKlein - Like the production, but the lyrics are cringe, what little I can understand of them with that Manglish. Jon Josdi - Like this! Enrique-Lite. Fruela - Phew I thought it was going to be some bleeding heart ballad dirge at first. Love the production, it's like a male version of Faded. Pedro Elipe - Here's the ballad. Here's the stop button, next. Shannel - Generic summery trash, just what I like. ![]() Padre Damian - Kind of like a Spanish Troye Sivan, I don't dislike this. Brequette - Winner. Javian - This is what happens when you say yes to everything and end up with 20 different instruments in your song. Mess. Javi Soleil - Not for me, but former D'Nash man would probably give Spain a half decent result for a change. Strvkid ft. Silence of the Wolves - Like the production, but vocally they sound flat and this is in studio! Will be a car crash live. ![]() Milena - Really like this, can imagine her being a sultry badass on stage already. Nieves Hidalgo - WTF? You're about 40yrs too late dear...Rebeca Moss - YouTube confirmed my suspicions, she's a slutpop diva that's watered herself down with this dross to have a crack at ESC. Inigo - I wasn't expecting the hipster to have the voice of a 10yr old girl. Gio - Next. Detergente Liquido - The guitar drowns her out. ESDM should've tried that... Ektor Pan - Exactly what I was expecting. Nothing original here. Next. Alicia Nuhro Band - She's named a band after herself? I can tell this is going to be some pretentious shite already. A 30 second piano solo, suspicion confirmed. Skip. Ander & Rossi - These will do as a totty replacement for no Samir & Viktor in Melfest. The tropical beats aren't half bad either. Me likey! Paradise Phantoms - If Uptown Funk had been released in the 70s. Terrible. Iranzo Iranzinix - Guy with guitar fodder, which goes all Daftpunk meets pre-set tones on a Yamaha keyboard in the chorus. Wildback - At least they didn't call themselves Bareback I suppose. I'd have loved this in my teenage emo years, thankfully I've grown up now. Another one who sounds like a little girl. Romy Low - This is right up my street. Brequette's Runner-Up. Vamos! <3 Ivete - Well I can see one issue straight away. 6mins 39. I like the upbeat sections. Might be alright once they cut the dross out.Carmel - This wouldn't play. I'm guessing it's probably a guitar ballad. Don't think I'm missing much. E-Twins - Not what I was expecting. Got a crowd pleaser vibe. Not terrible. Nito - This is alright. R n B summer banger. Overall they needn't have bothered trying. Brequette's got this in the bag. Start preparing your Kiev plans girl.

I'm sorry, what? The world's strongest cheese has got 3 minutes of competition with that! Lem's is just a generic R n B slow jam.

I think Brequette's "No Enemy" could do well for Spain but I thought that as well for Barei's song "Say Yay"
.Some Spaniards think "No Somos Heroes" would be the best choice; basically it gives Europeans what they want/expect from Spain. |

Are we not still expecting Ruth to be one of the internally selected competitors? I'm sure she could crush them all.

Brequette can't sing live so I don't imagine she'll win anyway.

With a clever edit, this has real banger potential

ESC Best Group Ever
Welcome one and all to the competition to decide which is the best group ever in Eurovision. We are mercifully devoid of boybands, but one approached me the other day, begging to be in the show, perhaps the opening number, even for appearance fee of a paltry Ł100. So I took their money, and here they are: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1dXMWWq6y8 Here is the actual list, a fine selection of recent and older Eurovision songs. The order is entirely random, except for ABBA in the pimp slot, of course. Enjoy. Finland 2014 - Softengine - Something Better https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FDWaFfo1CU Serbia and Montenegro 2005 - No Name - Zauvijek Moja https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eB1Bn8bv6Uk Finland 2006 - Lordi Hard Rock Hallelujah https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAh9NRGNhUU Spain 1973 - Mocedades - Eres tú https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKV2JfR3RU4 Turkey 2010 - mAnga - We Could be the Same https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HB_GnnhNz-8 UK 1997 Katrina and the Waves Love Shine a Light https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8oTtSTRdSw Latvia 2006 Cosmos I Hear Your Heart https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_pDAxEtt7g Norway 2005 Wigwam In My Dreams https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OeY_S3hk1PA Germany 1985 Wind - Für alle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mib4YZt8mcg Switzerland 1977 - Pepe Lienhard Band - Swiss Lady https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdD2ljNVui0 Russia 2007 Serebro Song 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVPez6Zvr8g Romania 2012 - Mandinga Zaleilah https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3ruy639kTQ UK 1981 - Bucks Fizz - Making Your Mind Up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boEph_ic-NM Germany 1994 - MeKaDo - Wir geben 'ne Party https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ztx0b1K1Y8Y Bosnia & Herzegovina 2009 Regina Bistra Voda https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcRWjoEkzMk Moldova 2011 - Zdob si Zdub - So Lucky https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHAY_OVN_gY Bosnia Herzegovina 2005 - Feminnem - Call Me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elPI-5JZCws Germany 1979 - Dschinghis Khan - Dschinghis Khan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAEUrp2V4ss Portugal 1989 Da Vinci - Conquistador https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RirKgfn4WwA Sweden 1974 ABBA - Waterloo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FsVeMz1F5c PlayList https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FDW...srS_bbyFlpXZkl Votes to me please by 5pm Sunday December 4.
