Yep, here we go: it's the 2015 national final season. I'll once again post as many ranking as I can here and I hope you all do too!

Malta's Shit Contest

1. Amber - Warrior
2. Raquel - Stop Haunting Me
3. Christabelle - Rush
4. Sisters (Ekklesia) - Love And Let Go
5. Glen Vella - Breakaway
6. Trilogy - Chasing A Dream
7. Domenique - Take Me As I Am
8. Chris Grech - Closed Doors
9. Karen DeBattista - 12 Baker Street
10. Iona Dalli - Could Have Been Me
11. Franklin Calleja - Still Here
12. Lyndsay Pace - Home
13. L-Ahwa - Beautiful To Me
14. Corazon - Secretly
15. Jessika - Fandango
16. Lawrence Gray - The One That You Love
17. Dominic - Once In A While
18. Daniel Testa - Something In The Way
19. Deborah C - It's OK
20. Danica Muscat - Close Your Eyes

That's a massive bunch of rubbish from Malta. There was not one song I even remotely enjoyed. I wish Malta would send the Sisters to just be the laughing stock of Europe. Not much more to say.

I wanted to make a start and your top 5 was already bad, so I just stopped, SHAME ON YOU MALTA

Nice to see malta proudly using maltese in their songs

No proper ranking as I only listened to some songs for 15 seconds but still here it is

18. Franklin Calleja - Still Here
19. Christabelle - Rush
20. Jessika - Fandango

1-3 were less crappy, 4-20 were boring/crap/both

I finally listened to them all.

For me, Chris Grech is head and shoulders above the rest as a singer...and I think Closed Doors has potential for a good result, too.

After him (and way below him) I like Lawrence Gray, Karen DeBatista, L-Ahwa, Corazon, Amber and Danica Muscat.

Cyprus has got a GIGANTIC national final with 60 (!) songs. See here. I suggest waiting until they've got a little less songs left

Also, here's a recap of the Maltese songs, for those who want a 7:14 torture instead of an hour long torture.

Time for the RSI candidates from Switzerland! Just three for the Italians!

RSI Selezione regionale

1. Deborah Bough - 1, 2, 3 Take Me Back To 23
2. Elias ft. Zero in On - Your Perfume
3. Vad Vuc - Cocktail E Fantasmi

The past years, RSI was possibly the 'best' of the three Swiss regional finals, but they've ruined it this year. If one of these three manages to beat the SRF and RTS competition in the NF, I'm afraid for the Swiss.

ill go for song 3 from Switzerland ta

where can we see this songs, hanita?

*these

PS You can find them here (I only like Cocktail e fantasmi myself)

RSI Swiss National Final

Deborah's song is bad, but not horrendous - I'd suggest just Take Me Back (to 23) for the title, as the 1, 2, 3 part is a bit childish imo.
Vad Vuc's song is nice, I like the Italian and the folk feel of this.
Elias's song is not bad, but a bit boring. I do like his voice.

That means my ranking is the exact opposite of Nick's:

1. Vad Vuc - Cocktail E Fantasmi
2. Elias ft. Zero in On - Your Perfume
3. Deborah Bough - 1, 2, 3 Take Me Back To 23

All songs have the possibility of failing live though, so I'm curious about the live show

And we often need to be afraid for the Swiss even when (we think) they have something decent.

Deborah I liked Coctail E Fantasmi most. But it's not something amazing.

The French part of the Swiss nf (RTS) will have 6 songs from this selection of 26 songs.

The German-Romansh (SRF/RTR) had an online voting, and the results of those votes combined with the votes of a jury panel will tell us which 9 songs will proceed. It had 210 (!) entries (see here), and there must be a song with the quality of My Song in there, but I don't feel like listening 210 songs.
