Exciting! I hope these year the entries are amazing. Can't wait to experience the intense excitement of the live show!

[Davey84]

Ceeeeeeewl!! I know my favourite Dutch singer Ilse DeLange is going to form a special duo with Waylon to represent us!!!

[Jeff Abbott]

rumour has it we might be represented by one of this year's finalists of the Voice of Poland, my bet (or wish) - it should be this guy

I still don't know what Spain will do for this year's show.

I hope they select a nice worthy song.

And can't wait for next year's Watching Party.

Ukraine is the first country in this season to choose their entry in the national selection, broadcast on eurovision.tv! 20 performers with completely different musical styles made altogether an amazing show in Kyiv. At the end, the TV viewers and the expert jury chose the strongest entry that will represent Ukraine in Copenhagen. It is Maria Yaremchuk with her song Tick-Tock!

well, I'm sure it's gonna be rearranged, tweaked and modified a number of times just to make it better   to be honest, so far it sounds kinda average.

btw, Bosnia and Herzegovina is out of the contest for the second year in a row,
too bad, I'm gonna miss their song, especially if it'd be as good as this one from 2012 (so underrated)

Why? you better tell me why?

^^^ you'd better tell me what you're doing here so early?

[LuisMa]

This time again I will not see any semifinals nor watch anything until the main show, so that it's more exciting!

Also, I'll refrain from picking a favorite, as poor Ryan Dolan came in final position last year.

yes, poor Ryan Dolan ...

It's good to hear the versions that are chosen and then follow the transformations through out the following weeks ... and pick a favorite, which is always too hard to pick ...

And his staging was

No, no NO

Graham Norton's comment on Ryan Dolan's dancers cracked me up

Ohhhh I watched that earlier, as I was compiling my year-end favorites, and it's ranked high.

[Jeff Abbott]

I'll never get it how it is possible he came at the very bottom of all performers, no freaking clue

[LuisMa]

I guess he suffered from the damn last performance slot, and he was a bit pitchy. But the song is amazing. And had an eye-pleasing staging.

oh yeah most definitely ...

and he's got new music as well ... so I am looking forward to hearing more of him as well ...

[Jeff Abbott]

the countries which decided to bow out of the competition this year should definitely take a leaf out of Greece's book
they'll be in Copenhagen next year, no matter what their financial situation is   they must really love the ESC
