Aren't we due to find out the host city today?

Meanwhile, I was just reading that Ukraine ranks in the top 10 of least peaceful countries in the world in 2016 in the Global Peace Index...
After what they've been through the past couple of years that's hardly surprising, nothing a song contest can't fix!

I see Martine McCutcheon is making a musical comeback. Maybe 2017 might finally be the year she goes to Eurovision...

Not if Streisand gets there first...

Terrible dilemma: my iPhone has decided to delete all downloaded songs and videos for no apparent reason. My laptop died a year or so ago so I've only been using my iPad so I haven't got my songs saved anywhere else! Is there any chance anyone knows a way of restoring it all?

Stay the Night was at over 6000 plays, I can't just let that go!

Unfortunately that only works for iTunes purchases. My phone was full of random Eurovision stuff that wasn't available on iTunes or Spotify and was downloaded from less legitimate places!

The fantasy playlist for this week is awesome! I see a lot of people has brought their A+ game to this one.

Also, I think I will be the one hosting the contest next week. It'll still be Best Summer Songs. So, I'll try to open the submission tomorrow.

Maybe I'm being a little dumb, but what do you mean by Summer songs? Eurovision? Release dates? Chart dates? Songs with the word summer in their title? etc

It's a non-Eurovision themed contest. Just songs that are good to play during the summer season, like when hanging out in the beach or under the sun. When people commented the song has a summery feeling, that's it. For example, Caribbean songs or any Balkan bangers that features half-naked girls in the beach.

Sounds good to me! Weedy will be requesting this contest every week!

1. Magi Djanavarova This is a really good start, love her voice
2. Marian Hill This just started to annoy me after a while
3. Micky Modelle ft. Jessy Kind of like a even older Cascada on tranquillizers
4. Bjørnskov really enjoyed this
5. Antonia aus Tirol Have to laugh at the old guy in the audience not looking verry amused, I enjoyed it anyway
6. Rachel Platten This is much better than Fight Song, that chorus <3
7. Sergio Sylvestre This was OK
8. FLETCHER Loving this.
9. Five Knives Another really good one
10. MØ She can be a bit hot an miss, this is ok
11. MIN from ST.319 ft. Justatee This is very summery with an 80's twist
12. Mary Lambert Another returning artist, Im really glad she's back the song was really sweet and heart warming
13. Faithless I couldn't get into this
14. Ina Wroldsen & Broiler Thought about entering this but then seen it won the other thread when I wasn't talking part, but its one of my favourite songs at the moment
15. Lucia Popp Opera
16. Nanne Nanne Grönvall has her shlager diva army at the ready and is about to storm SVT and over throw Queen Bjorkman for her Schlager revolution, really enjoyed this.
17. Zhang Bi Chen She has a nice voice but the song was dull as dishwater
18. Alvaro Soler Don't know who Sofia is but she's one lucky girl.
19. P!nk One of P!nks best songs
20. Juliana Pasha This is nice and slow building to that big finish. I bet her dress weighs just as much as her.
21. Freddy Kalas Not as bad as I thought it would be
22. GO!GO!7188 Not really got into this
23. Frøder Quite liking this
24. Ricki So many good entries

Summer is definitely my most favourite season of the year. Sunny and clear skies weather, while everyone was enjoying hanging outside like the park or the beach. And, not to mention girls and guys are wearing less clothes as possible to combat the heat. How can the other seasons compare?

To celebrate this season, I am asking everyone to submit songs that they think fit well with the summer weather. It can come from any genre like country, reggae, latin pop, or even Balkan slutpop. And, it doesn't matter if the word 'summer' is in the title or not. Just what do you think best describes this season.

Summer songs will be accepted until 6 PM Sunday. And, even if this kind of weather is not for you, there maybe songs about hating the summer season too.

Listened to allø songs.
Will try to give points tomorrow, before Olympics

12 songs to get second listen. I felt there were some *very* good songs this week, but also a lot of "meh"-songs...

I was anticipating hating that Rachel Platten song considering Fight Song was some X Factor winners single dross if they still had syco write something in 30 seconds but I'm surprised. One of the gems of the playlist.

It makes me laugh how I manage to disagree with a lot of the comments here, even when they are disagreeing with each other.
I thought round one was stronger and I'm struggling to find songs I want to give points to on this one.
I never read reviews but was curious about what would be made of Der Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen. I've no idea if it was entered as a joke or if there is an opera fan out there. To me I think she's very talented and the song has already lasted hundreds of years! That takes some doing
As for Rachel Platten she just seem to be blend in to the others of her ilk which is all fairly faceless to me.

Having said that I don't want to admit which one has been stuck in my head for days... bloomin' Norwegians...

Got a few sets of votes in so far, everything all still to play for.

Good to see lots of reviews as well.

Juliana looks a lot like Eneda in that video,

Also, was going to enter Alvaro Soler - Sofia last contest if I didn't get my first choice, so happy it was chosen!
