Agathonas Iakovidis - Alcohol Is Free 29 Albania - Bledar Sejko & Adrian Lulgjuraj - Identitet 30 Belgium - Roberto Bellarosa - Love Kills (To be updated)
Denmark - Emmelie de Forest - Only Teardrops (AMAZING, I love the sounds and Emmelie is cute, empathic and sings well) Finland - Krista Siegfrids - Marry Me (EXCELLENT! I like this kind of songs, they sound so part of a musical. Hope it gets the final and doesn't flop as 2008) F.Y.R. Macedonia - Esma & Lozano - Imperija 8I love the sounds and Esma is simply amazing vocally. I WANT THIS IN FINAL) Germany - Cascada - Glorious (Very Good Song, I like Cascada and her vocals are good for being an uptempo singer. Hope it does well at ESC,it deserves it) Switzerland - Heilsarmee - You And Me (I like it, it's pleasant and unusual,the refrain is very pleasant to listen to) Belarus - Alyona Lanskaya - Rhythm Of Love( catchy song, I have some doubts about Alyona's vocals, they might fail live ndr remember 2011) Cyprus - Despina Olympiou - An Me Thimase (I love this kind of ballads, usually they do well with juries. It's a calm song which never irritates) Austria - Natália Kelly - Shine (I like it, but just like. It is not that particular but in average it's a good song. Neutral for me.) Ireland - Ryan Dolan - Only Love Survives (I like the kind of music, it's always pleasant to listen to danceable songs. Maybe it's too ordinary and can be forgotten easily) Georgia - Sophie & Nodi - Waterfall (powerful ballad, like it, it might be boring live) Ukraine - Zlata Ognevich - Gravity (It is quite strange, but her voice power is really stunning) Slovenia - Hannah Mancini - Straight Into Love (the song itsself is ok, but I would pump up the refrain) Lithuania - Andrius Pojavis - Something (It reminds me of Bonaparti.lv, it has something unusual that catches me. Maybe my opinion will change, I am still not completely sure about this) Gianluca Bezzina - Tomorrow (Forgettable,the refrain is simple but ok) Iceland - Eyþór - Ég á líf (I have several doubts, but maybe it can do well because it's quite enigmatic) Greece - Koza Mostra feat. Agathonas Iakovidis - Alcohol Is Free (I don't like it, but compared to and it's better) Belgium - Roberto Bellarosa - Love Kills (Acceptable if he hadn't to sing) Albania - Bledar Sejko & Adrian Lulgjuraj - Identitet (Horrible, I know this is rock but it's quite messing) Latvia - PeR - Here We Go (horribile) Norway - Margaret Berger - I Feed You My Love (I have no clear opinions about this. People like it but I don't, I must understand who's wrong and who's right ) Spain - El Sueño De Morfeo - Contigo Hasta El Final (I love the sont,it's very nice, I am thoughtful and doubtful about the lead singer's vocals...she might fail live, same as 2011) TBU with and
1. Switzerland - I've loved it from the first listening, a couple months ago. 2. Belgium - I like the music 3. Belarus - not my style at all
I don't quite know why I've chosen this thread as opposed to any other to write this, but don't we have loads of threads now under "Baku 2012" that should really be under a new one, "Malmö 2013"?
It's been announced Alyona's song will change (the only surprise is it took them so long to say it ) so I won't rank that one. 1. music by the killers, vocals by a foreign version of editors 2. catchy 3. when the studio version's released it could change things 4. heard it will stay in Albanian so it's just a matter of hearing the three-minute version 5. hope he improves his pronunciation in time
