Here's how you make your song being outdated an advantage. The bookies seem to have high hopes of this one.

i hope he sings with his sister, their performance together was amazing

Where did you hear that? Haven't they already selected this famous Maltese woman the name of whom I don't remember?  

I read it on Facebook this morning ... and you are right, it is San Marino is sending a Duo ...

Malta will be the Breathlessly lady ... sorry about that!

For one moment I though they would change that sleep-inducing song for something better and more upbeat. Too bad for Malta, in almost every fan TOP Malta is at the very bottom.

Such a difference from the wonderful Ira Losco from last year.

The last thing for today, just heard snippets of songs from Israel and Serbia and I'm glad they are in the second semi final, sure-fire qualifiers.

I like Breathlessly ... but I know what you mean ... Ira was great last year ... let's see what happens with her!

I am not in love with this Portugal song though ... maybe I need to listen to it more ...

I might be wrong, but isn't she the one who actually wrote the song?

Maybe they could sing it as a duet in Kiev.

Cheers, thanks a lot for posting this video, it's sooooo nice, I love the audience reaction.

Since Loreen is out (let's not get into this now 'cause it still hurts)   now the only right choice for Sweden is Mariette.

Please do, it's one of the best uptempo songs this year.

As far as I know, new version of Lindita's song is gonna be very orchestral.

Unfortunately for my country, semi-final 1 is gonna be really tough to get through.

Semi-Final #1 is definitely going to be tough!

But that's the fun about it!

Busy day, indeed.

I still think Malta has the weakest song this year, I'm a big sucker for ballads, but this one, there's no redeeming feature here, it just puts me to sleep.
