Well let's hope you get to party a lot this year ... we should visit Iceland too ...

yessss hopfully thank you


I am working on my top song list. First I will make a list of songs that I like and then a list of songs that I think will be on top 10.

I haven't listened to all of the songs and I already have 17 songs that I kinda like. And so far I'm just listening to songs for what they are and not by country. So next steps are trying to finish the songs and then sort them and then find out what countries I like.
So far I only know 3 countries, Iceland, Italy and Greece. I like listening to the songs this way without any "country judgement"

Mark my words honey, it's gonna be Turin 2018.

I might be wrong but I read somewhere that in case of Italy's win, Rome won't be taken into consideration when choosing the location for the contest.

realistically speaking, what are the countries who might snatch Italy's victory?

it's either Belgium or Bulgaria.

now let's wait and see how the public votes that's the worst part of this

but you know, even if France/Belgium/Portugal/Spain/Poland/UK/Netherlands wins ... I will probably do an Euro trip next year ...

I just hope Sweden doesn't win again

I'd love it if Poland finally won. It's high time if you ask me.

Also, I wouldn't mind France, Italy or Belgium.

I agree, let's move the ESC away from Scandinavia.

So Russia is officially out of ESC 2017 and we only have 42 Countries participating ...

I almost think that the competition should be held in Berlin and taken away from Ukraine.

This competition is about music, love, respect, unity.

I get that Ukraine and Russia have a dispute but if Ukraine wants to be a host, knowing what countries are participating, then everyone should be allowed to compete.

I guess it's for the better, at least this whole dispute is over. I feel for Julia but if that's the law then everybody should obey it.
