Great contest this week. So glad with the groups theme. I did the females so in 2017 there has to be a male soloist's round?

Excellent hosting.

Up to 12 entries now, keep them coming please until this evening at 10pm, with playlist to follow shortly afterwards

From what I've heard so far, it really seems like a cracking set of songs to end the year on.

It's been over a year since I've had to dive through the wiki to see if a song has gone before and so can't remember, do you have to go through year by year or is there an overall list?

There's a search bar at the top of the home page, just pop the song into that

Thanks. I can't see it on there so I've probably missed it but I'll wait until I get back and can check it on my laptop before entering it just to make sure.

Hopefully Adam can spread the winning magic to Saara, being the winning mentor on Aussie X Factor. It's a good pairing, they can go nuts together with the theatrics and leave the others for dead.

I like Lambert when he does his Dance-Rock songs.

The UK doesn't care for Lambert though, even Ghost Town (the best song of 2015) had zero impact on the UK charts
Nice for Saara to duet with someone she really admires though.

Found a candidate for Ukraine in 2017, only because I knew the artist before and got quite excited when I saw "Eurovision 2017" in the title of their new video. The song's quite underwhelming though, not very memorable.

Well that's a strong list (of the songs I know)! About 4 songs that could contend for my 12 without even listening to them, will definitely be difficult to vote.

I was banking on someone entering Mrs Potato Head by Melanie Martinez! I was going to enter it myself but thought someone else would.

Interesting discovery CfK. I've listened to it twice now, very atypical for Eurovision, which may be a good thing. As a song itself, it's okay. The staging is of course key and the Ukrainian selection is going to be epic this year. But hey, what do I know? A song of no clear genre, with straight-up wailing in a language nobody else speaks about ethnic cleansing won, anything is possible now....

I hope they don't go down the 'ethnic but disposable' route and send crap a la GreenJolly just to avoid bankrupting NTU further by winning again? Unless of course ARD or the BBC agrees to stage it for them…. It'd be nice, we've got the money, it's not like we'll ever get the chance to host actual Semi-Finals other-wise....

It'd be a tad obvious if they did self-sabotage and play into Russian hands and no way are they gonna be happy about the prospect of Jamala smiling until her face melts because she has to as she hands the trophy to a triumphant Russian. Presumably they are already praying that Romania pull off a blinder spurred on by Ukrainian and Bulgarian success coming straight after absences or that it goes to another Nordic country, I think we can discount a Big 5 winner already (what’s the chances France build on last time?)

And I don't care - what the hell, caution to the wind. Vote Saara!

Tough Poll again this week BTW! Impossible!
