EDIT:

I take back my previous words about Malta - this one is even worse, especially its lyrics. :sofunny:

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. :giggle:

I do like it though ... not in love with it, but I like it!

btw the song for Israel is AWESOME!!!!!!

OK ... what's with Belgium's and Ireland's voices mix-up? :giggle:

They don't sound the way they look ...

F.Y.R. MACEDONIA



Macedonia has never sounded better, this might actually be their best effort to date. :clap:

Packed, but no Top 10 anymore :sofunny:


btw I watched the 2015 & 2016 ESC Finals again ... and in 2015 I had a Top 10, and when trying to make a Top 10 for 2016, I couldn't ... so I ended up with Top 15 ... I guess this year it's bound to happen again! :clap:

Looking forward to hear all the final songs. Hope they release the cd sooner this year

It's difficult to choose which one of four national finals to watch tonight.  

I haven't listened to any Icelandic songs yet, but I hope I'll be pleasantly surprised with your representative. :)

Yeah so much going on tonight.

One of my fave contestant in Iceland won a song contest few years back by singing TTWII :) and she just spent some time talking about Céline backstage.

The decision will be made public tomorrow.

Never mind my last post hehehe.

What's the best way for your country not to get booed?

RUSSIA



All the freaking mind games Russia likes to play. Come to think of it, that choice doesn't surprise me at all.

The song would be much better if sung in Russian and not in broken English.

When it comes to the UK revamp I do like it a lot, the backing track is much more distinctive now which makes the song less forgettable.

About the French one, well the parts in English sound so out of place here, I'd prefer the revamped version as long as it was sung entirely in French. For me keeping it in the Alma's native language is the way to go. :)

On stage it might work, but for now I'm not convinced.

Plus, Francesco's song has more than 50 million views on Youtube (almost 57, to be exact) which is quite an achievement two months before the final. :)

I'm still wondering why the official video has not been added to the Official Videos Playlist on the ESC Youtube channel though ...
