Surely Kitty's song isn't eligible? There's a video of her performing it to a crowd of apathetic gays at Reading Pride 2012.

It's just okay. Update: the are new songs and one song changed the singer (bit odd). I included the links of the new stuff.
No, Finland is actually good. Lithuania is decent for Lithuania. Estonia and Latvia are meh. Cyprus is crap though.
Melodi Grand Prix Snippets Tor & Bettan - All Over The World Contrazt - Heaven Marie Klåpbakken - Ta Meg Tilbake Karin Park - Human Beings Alexandra Joner - Cinderella Jenny Langlo - Next To You Erlend Bratland - Thunderstruck Mørland & Debrah Scarlett - A Monster Like Me Ira Konstantinidis - We Don't Worry Raylee - Louder Staysman & Lazz - En Godt Stekt Pizza A decent selection and I love the fact that Elisabeth Andreassen is back once more to this time duet with a Golden Toilet from Eurovision. They're my #1, followed by dansband. Yep, cheap and all.
Can't tell much from the clips, but I don't think Staysman & Lazz have much of a chance... Nothing amazing or terrible here. Jenny Langlo and Erlend Bratland are probably my picks. Tor & Bettan are ok and what we would expect from them. Ta Meg Tilbake and A Monster Like Me could go either way when I hear the whole thing. Contrazt was a little disappointing as I like some of their other stuff.
Melodi Grand Prix 2015 (Snippets) Marie Klåpbakken - Ta Meg Tilbake Mørland & Debrah Scarlett - A Monster Like Me Karin Park - Human Beings Contrazt - Heaven Jenny Langlo - Next To You Erlend Bratland - Thunderstruck Ira Konstantinidis - We Don't Worry Tor & Bettan - All Over The World Alexandra Joner - Cinderella Raylee - Louder Staysman & Lazz - En Godt Stekt Pizza Decent national final. Very odd that there will be an orchestra this time, and there's just eleven songs in a final.
From the Norwegian snippets, the songs I think could be interesting are A Monster Like Me and Thunderstruck..but it could change when I hear the full songs.
Melodi Grand Prix Snippets 1. Contrazt - Heaven 2. Erlend Bratland - Thunderstruck 3. Jenny Langlo - Next To You 4. Karin Park - Human Beings 5. Mørland & Debrah Scarlett - A Monster Like Me 6.

Raylee - Louder No way to call how this'll go but there's a few there I'm interesting in hearing the full version of. (Like En godt stekt pizza)
Söngvakeppni Sjónvarpsins 2015 Erna Hrönn - Myrkrið Hljótt Stefanía Svavarsdóttir - Augnablik María Ólafsdóttir - Lítil Skref Regina Ósk - Aldrei Of Seint CADEM - Fyrir Alla Björn og félagar - Piltur Og Stúlka Elín Sif Halldórsdóttir - Í Kvöld Haukur Heiðar Hauksson - Milljón Augnablik Bjarni Lárus Hall - Brotið Gler Sunday - Fjaðrir Friðrik Dór - Í Síðasta Skipti HINEMOA - Þú Leitar Líka Að Mér That's a pretty good selection. The female ballads by Erna and Stefanía are by far my favourites, love those.
The songs from Iceland are nice, in general, but I couldn't find any song that really stood out. The 3 I find slightly better are from Ema, CADEM and ELin Sif Halldorsdottir (what a surname!)
Söngvakeppni Sjónvarpsins 2015 1. Stefanía Svavarsdóttir - Augnablik 2. Friðrik Dór - Í síðasta skipti 3. Elín Sif Halldórsdóttir - Í kvöld 4. Haukur Heiðar Hauksson - Milljón augnablik 5.

Here's a recap
Eurovision Song Project Final Panagiotis Koufogiannis - Without Your Love Charis Savva & Nearchos Evangelou - Deila Den Agapo Hovig - Stone In A River Giannis Karagiannis - One Thing I Should Have Done Minus One - Shine Doody - Magic I'm just guessing the sound in the CyBC studio is horrible. No act sounds brilliant live, so let's hope that changes when any of the first five get to Vienna. The poo would be a nightmare.
