Choon! If their Melfest song is this good they're going to be hard to beat.
And if the songs from the other acts are on the same level it's going to be a cracker of a Melfest.

D'Sanz looks like Shane Filan. Emma's video's great.

Aw, lovely dedication to Pete Burns at the end of Club La Persé's video

Fooo Conspiracy's new single is an unashamed banger, and, at 3mins exactly, was probably one of their rejected MelFest offerings...

The electrified gimp has a name? (Sorry, Tadas...)

It seems that they've worked together many times before on 'Celebrity Duets' - Pretty good.

Good to see Vilija back! <3 It'll be interesting to see if Aiste's song really is by Aminata or if that was just a rumour.

And I see Vlad Max is there again so they're obviously still not vetting for vocal ability.

Gutted to see Greta Zazza in there, was hiding her new song for DSFE and it's exactly 3 minutes long, so I'm assuming that's the song she's going with.

Samanta's been on Lithuanian The Voice so that's why she's lowering her standards for this crowdfunding gig.

Looking forward to what Vilija is coming back with.

I'm presuming fandom will be naming them TaManta, although his surname is rather unfortunately too easy to alter.....
Spoiler


I really like Greta Zazza's song if that's what she's going with, it would be good if the rest were up to that standard or higher....we shall see.

a) It's Lithuania
2) There's *51* of them

the answer is a deafening NO.

Good heavens why on earth!? I guess it cannot be worse than Attention, but that gave me enough Vilija to last a lifetime, I still am aghast at the use of Cricket noises in a song, I thought Home and Away and Neighbours had those noises trademarked.

My picks so far;

Spain - Fruela
Switzerland - Timebelle
Finland - Lauri or Gunther

I think Timebelle's "Apollo" has the most potential out of all the entries I've heard so far, but it needs quite the revamp to really elevate it.
I can't for the life of me see why Circle Of Sh*t is the overwhelming favourite in Finland
It is beyond bog standard....an Aldi version of Emmelie De Forest.

Montenegro is being represented by Slavko Kalezić.

He sounds... interesting. We're not getting any HOT VOX here I'm afraid, gals.
