    :ro: Selecția Națională 2016 :ro:

    Ok, this is the best I could do. The live performances could change everything ofc. And I still don't really like any of them, but Florena and Irina might grow on me.

  3. Anaconda I'm as sick as fuck.

    I don't know what Andra Olteanu plans to do if she wins (God forbid), but Irina Popa already said she would switch to English. Jukebox 'sings' in Romglish, but I can't imagine that song going anywhere. HFc sok xxx

    As a usual stout supporter of Slovenia, I felt compelled to listen to these snippets.
    01. Raiven - Črno Bel (First one that grabbed me - sounds like it could be influenced by Bjork. Certainly one to watch for me.)
    02. DBASE - Spet Živ (I like the chorus with the male singer with a nice, anthemic spet - it reminds me of Daz Sampson.)
    03. Sebastijan Lukovnjak - Tales of Tomorrow (Mumford & Suns - Little Lion Man, is that you? It's inoffensive, could get a toe tap out of someone. Inoffensive is all I can say about it, though.)
    04. ManuElla - Blue and Red (I feel this song has potential but it's unfortunately let down by ManuElla's dodgy english and what could be silly lyrics. Blue is blue, red is red? Obviously.)
    05. Žan Serčič - Summer Story (This twee, teen pop isn't my favourite genre but this is... just okay. Could be better in full.)
    06. Nuša Derenda - Tip Top (Tell me, who's that lucky hero? This reminds me of Mr. Nobody and it's dated, which is disappointing.)
    07. Anja Baš - What If (Filler song.)
    08. Regina - Alive In Every Way (Knowing that I'm one of a few that actually liked her 1996 song for being sweet with a lovely instrumental and sugary vocals - this just grates on my ears. No thank you.)
    09. Anja Kotar - Too Cool (Similarities to that grating, 'I am woman, hear me roar' style of song with a jazz influence. Not for me at all.)
    10. San Di EGO - Brez tebe (I really dislike this sort of whiny rock that never goes anywhere, I feel this might be laced with guttural roaring at some point and.. no.)

    What a horrible semi from the looks of it, even Lisa was disappointing.... only care for the 1st 2 in the slightest.

    :ua: Ukraine Final :ua:
    1. Jamala - 1944
    2. The Hardkiss - Helpless
    3. NuAngels - Higher
    4. SunSay - Love Manifest
    5. Pur : Pur - We Do Change
    6. Brunettes Shoot Blondes - Every Monday
    Hoping one of the first two win, SunSay is overrated imo :(

    Another busy Saturday night coming up:

    :is: Söngvakeppnin Final :is:

    1. Karlotta Sigurðardóttir - The Eye Of The Storm
    2. Greta Salóme - Hear Them Calling
    3. Alda Dís Arnardóttir - Now
    4. Elisabet Ormslev - Á ný

    6. Þórdís Birna Borgarsdóttir and Guðmundur Snorri Sigurðarson - Ready To Break Free
    They can't really make a truely bad choice here. Even the rap isn't horrible (for rap).

    :fi: Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu Semifinal 3 :fi:

    1. Lieminen - Pehmeiden arvojen vaalijat
    2. Pietarin Spektaakkeli - Liian kuuma

    4. Gušani Brothers - Poom Poom
    5. Sandhja - Sing It Away
    6. Tuuli Okkonen - Don't Wake Me Up

    If any one of my top 3 here goes through I'll be happy.

    :ee: Eesti Laul Semifinal 2 :ee:

    8. Gertu Pabbo - Miljon korda
    9. Anett Kulbin - Strong
    10. Põhja-Tallinn & Jaagup Kreem - Ei ole mul olla

    A tough one. Even my last here would very likely be in my top 3 almost everywhere else.

    :hu: Á Dal Semifinal 2 :hu:

    1. Passed - Driftin'
    ...
    Apart from Passed I don't really care for any of the entries in this semi. I just hope Passed will surprise me and make the final and end up somewhere 4th-8th there.

    :lt: "Eurovizijos" dainų konkurso nacionalinė atranka Show 7 :lt:

    1. Gerūta Griniūtė
    2. Gerūta Griniūtė in that other dress
    3. Gerūta Griniūtė in yet another dress.

    My very slight crush on the presenter aside, I'd like these three go through if they improve on their performance the last time:

    Ieva Zasimauskaité - Life (Not That Beautiful)
    4 Roses - Butterfly
    Milda Martinkénaité - If Tomorrow Never Comes

    :ua: National Final :ua:

    1. Brunettes Shoot Blondes - Every Monday
    2. Pur: pur - We Do Change
    3. The Hardkiss - Helpless
    4. NuAngels - Higher
    5. Jamala - 1944
    6. SunSay - Love Manifest

    If it were just the quality of the songs/performances, Jamala would be way above the rest, and I doubt anyone else will go to Stockholm. But her song is simply not my cup of tea, so I put her rather low in my list.

    :lv: Supernova Semifinal :lv:

    1. MyRadiantU - We Will Be Stars
    2. Marta Ritova - Not From This World
    3. Marta Grigale - Choices
    4. Justs - Heartbeat
    5. Catalepsia - Damnation
    6. Markus Riva - I Can
    7. Ivo Grīsniņš Grīslis - We Are The Light
    8. Samanta Tina - The Love Is Forever

    My really big favourites have been eliminated already. MyRadiantU will have to improve on their performance. Both Martas won me over with their performances in the previous heats. I didn't rate both songs too highly before. Big YaY for RigaBeaver!
