Jeff Abbott Posted March 13, 2017 at 05:17 PM Posted March 13, 2017 at 05:17 PM (edited) It would work fine in full french mode too ... I like Bulgaria's song as well ...I just got hooked on the revamped version of Latvia's song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFdSKiWyF_k Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good.

Jeff Abbott Posted March 13, 2017 at 05:21 PM Posted March 13, 2017 at 05:21 PM I'm still wondering why the official video has not been added to the Official Videos Playlist on the ESC Youtube channel though ...I'm baffled by something else, we all know Italian song is one of the best this year, but 57 million views? It seems kind of 'exaggerated' if you know what I mean. 1 Quote

Not really ... if you count the Italian population alone it would mean that every Italian has seen the video ... but we know that it is not only them who have seen the video ... Quote

Azerbaijan09. UK08. Switzerland07. Poland06. Sweden05. Denmark04. Macedonia03. France02. Italy01. Belgium So what do you think? well, I'd swap Switzerland for Israel and it'd be perfect my guess is that the public will love Italy and professional juries will back Belgium. I'd love it if Macedonia ended up so high, that girl totally deserves it. I never expected I'd grow to love the UK entry, at first it seemed so flat and boring. A that time, "Freedom Hearts" was my preferred entry. Denmark is one of my personal favorites, I don't agree with the criticism the melody of that song is hard to remember, some of the fans complained about that. There's no way Switzerland is gonna be inside top 10, too much competition I guess. Azerbaijan deserves top 10, they almost always go with quality songs, it's also the case this year. France lost a lot of its charm by switching some of the lines into English, so far it has been my #1, now I'm not sure about it. Sweden will benefit a lot of that staging, it's catchy, memorable, plus that guy is hot as hell. Definitely top 5 material. Poland really needs backing vocalists. I know Kasia plans to perform together with her brother playing the violin so 4 backing vocalists would be enough to give our song a bit of a dramatic feel. With vocals on point and the diaspora support Poland might surprise a lot of people, I wouldn't mind if that happened. ok, that was longer than I expected.
