Moldova
Fourth song is from Moldova
Song is called Hora din Moldova. Singer is Nelly Ciobanu
Performance link - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGIg-2JKUhQ
Song link - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3c2HZK038E
I like the middle eastern/ authentic feel of it. Kinda reminds me of Croatia 2005. It's cool, the intro needs to be a little bit less harsh on the years and the rapping part is really cool. It's a cool song yea... I think it'll do well. Not a top song but def will do well

Like I said in the previous post. More ballads... umm... again decent... It looks like it's going to be a battle between who has the best ballad. Umm... it's good. Nothing too much to say. We'll see which will win the battle of the decent ballads over time but for now it's decent.

What's up with all the decent ballads... i mean I feel like he'll get more votes than others because he has a good performance ... actually just stage presence... but i can't watch him sing... it kinda bothers me. I like it. It's decent. As far as ballad's go... it's slightly above par. Feel like it'll grow on me. We'll see. It has and then dropped with the english version.

Poland
Many updates this weekend. First one is from Poland
Song is called I Don't Wanna Leave. Singer is Lidia Kopania
Performance link - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQNSaqSM3Mc
Song link - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqb-vbwR-Qw
Gorgeous piece, but nothing too much. Another great ballad from Poland (like Poland 08) I think it'll perform either the same or slightly worse than last year. There's really nothing to much to say about it. It's nice but nothing too special.

Greece Preselection
Because I'm Greek, the only preselection I really follow is Greece's.This year Greece has chosen Sakis Rouvas to represent them. He has 3 songs:
Out of Control, Right on Time, and This is Our Night
Here's the songs in one video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBxHfTtiobg&feature=related
and music video collection of all 3 songs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUmpQxG7x9o&feature=related
My critiques... in general... if they were picking a song for a broadway musical he would win with either of the first two songs... actually it would be close between that and UK's lol.
Out of Control - I felt like it would be good for like Disney or Broadway. I like it, but not too much. We'll see if it grows on me or not.
Right on Time - It's good, I like it but like I said in the in general. Def for Disney or Broadway not Eurovision. I feel like it should be titled When I'm Lost not Right on Time
This is our Night - PURE 90s dance... i like it but nothing too special. Needs a little more work, either more lyrics and faster or fix up the beat in the back. Yea loving it more and more every time I hear it.I'm pretty sure Greece will send This is Our Night, but I don't think it'll win. From experience it seems like it'll be top 10. What you guys think?

Cyprus (take two)
Finally I found a version where the singer doesn't go off key!!!!!!!! (except for one part)
Song is called Firefly. Singer is Christina Metaxas.
Performance link - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQOvbAEM4fg
Song link - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=695i4r_hUGo
At first I watched the performance. and I'm like this chick has a very sweet and innocent voice. Just a warning VERY OFF-KEY for the rest! I really can't wait until the studio version is released. Until then all i can say is that it sounds like a mix between coldplay and red hot chili peppers. which mean i have a friend who i think will fall in love with this song lol... but really i can't rate it too high until we either have a better performance or a studio version. First impression LEAD SINGER NEEDS TO WORK or else sorry cyprus. it's a great song otherwise ... and now we can finally update the votes for cyprus.

Song is called Miss Kiss Kiss Bang Singer is Alex swings Oscar swings
Performance link - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FAuk8qGImA
Song link - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=betlQTh9l20
I'm in love. What can I say? It's fun. It's uplifting it's an AMAZING SONG. There is no words to describe how amazing this song is. Finally the Big Four is putting out some good songs. Germany attempted something like this in 2007, but they did it in German and it was like ehhh... i would've much rather preferred it in english. Anyways. this song... it's has so many amazing qualities, swing, dance, the music in general it'll be up there as Eurovision approaches, my top 12 will definately change many times. And who knows where my 12 points will go to. So far this is one of the best years I've experienced and hopefully more amazing songs will come.

First review of the weekend comes from Malta.
Song is called What If We. Singer is Chiara
Performance link - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsC4_7pMOSY
Song link - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6UjYx1F-g8
Ok so another ballad... umm.... boring decent nothing too special. I do like how it gradually rises in intensity, but it never gets too intense... Although at around 2:30 if she just let it all go it would've been a lot better. Idk I think if i'm in the mood for ballads i'd like it, but otherwise, i might be in the mood to listen to it... I feel like it'll grow on me. That's my first opinion of this song.

Hungary take two
Apparently, I just found out, that Hungary is sending a different song, because the song that was originally chosen had been released in 2004 and was used as the theme song, with different lyrics apparently, to the Swedish version of Big Brother.... Here's the new song
Song is called Maganyos Csonak . Singer is Tompos Katya
Performance link - none available yet
Song link - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fiQHEO5237s
Ok so another ballad... not suprising. umm... yet again doesn't do that much. it sounds nice, the singer is decent. don't love her don't hate her so for me it's just ehhh... nothing good nothing bad, very forgetable. I don't think it's going to do well. There really isn't that much more I can say about it. It's ehh...

Andorra
Today Andorra announced their song.
Song is called La Teva Decisio . Singer is Susanna Georgi
Performance link - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J25e1WDBBBY
Song link - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bt38x0FAbJA
Cute, I feel would work A LOT better in english. Personally i usually love andorra, but this time i'm just OK with it. I can say that it seems this will grow on me in time... but nothing to big... maybe get a point by the time Eurovision comes around. One thing that I hate is that when she sings the verses her voice sounds like a teen but then in the chorus/during the English part, she sounds like she's in her 30s. The song type is kinda noice the relaxing pop type, but i don't know if the lyrics are relaxing since they are in Catalan. So that's my first opinion of Andorra.

I'm sorry definately not winning maybe making the finals but i can't really say anything else about it... the High School Musical/90s pop/ Eurovision juniors describes the song there's nothing more you can say about it. it's about preference and i'm like ... mmm... no... eurovision junoirs ok 12 points here... 2 points so far... prob will go down and not grow on me at all

Song is called S'il fallait le faire. Singer is Patricia Kaas
Performance link - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfcmoyupJ4Q
Song link - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhyN-Xngio4
It's a good song. Patricia has a great voice. Nothing too special. Don't hate it, don't love it. Maybe cause i don't know the lyrics cause i don't speak French. (but def not primarily the last reason, because i LOVED romania 08 and i don't know a word of romanian and serbia 08, and serbia 04... Serbia 04 is probably my favorite Eurovision song of all time or at least top 2) yea not much about this song... maybe it'll grow on me, maybe it'll fade... but i'm expecting an AMAZING performance from what i youtubed and saw some of her performances

Song link - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otO3VtxSXRM
I love the classical mix with the techno type theme. It's very creative and a GREAT song. Only thing is I hate when the girl is screaming instead of singing. I love how the song is mostly about the violins, violas (can't tell the combo of violins and violas) and the cello and not the singer or the rest of the background sounds. This song is great and def will go down as one of the most amazing songs of Eurovision, but if it's going to go down as one of the best songs don't know. Just the song is amazing. Really need to work on the screaming girl though.

Performance link - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMus01Epxq8
Song link - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5kQ0BxbL2E
Andrew Lloyd Webber... How can I not love this song. I mean the song is AMAZING! apparently people are singing that other singers sang it better, but how can you hate the song. It's an AMAZING ballad. Might suffer the same fate as poland 08, but it's better... MUCH better than poland 08. It's ABOUT time that the U.K. is stepping up with something and not being like we're in the big four so we don't need to send anything important. And this song is so beautiful and will definately grow on me as I learn the lyrics and I will be belting it... in the elevator... when no one else is around... So tempted to belt it out right now, but my roommate might have a heart attack or try to kill me. HAVE I MENTIONED ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER = AMAZING! and just now this song went up a place actually from what I was originally going to put it. And Jade Ewen has an AMAZING voice and is gorgeous. I listened to the other versions, the one by Mark and the one by the twins. I have to say that Jade was the best. The twins were good when singing together, but when singing solos, they were just ok. Mark ... well the only reason why he was there is because people think he's hot, because I also so him sing Try a Little Tenderness... he can't sing ballads... if it was a pop song Mark would've done better... Personally I think Jade was the best choice

Chad Kruegger sings a country/ blues combination? I'm guessing Denmark was trying to get something like they did last year, but last year's song was better and the singer's voice was better. I like the song, but the singer's voice kills it. This song needs a not hoarse voice. But it's growing on me slowly, VERY slowly. It might pull of something big though... idk... my opinion will definately fluctuate as Eurovision draws nearer.

At first I was like... eh it's ok. nothing too special. But over the past 3 days lol it keeps growing on me. It's the same feeling as Montenegro. Fun and you just wanna sing along. Nothing to special about the song though. But at the rate that it's growing on me, it might be able to force it's way into my top 10. Oh yea at first i was trying to figure out what she was saying during the chorus. But then I read the lyrics. That's one of the things I didn't like about it, because usually I can understand accents, but I would've never guessed she was saying... well i'm guessing you listened to the song, if you didn't listen to it listen to it and see what you think. the actually lyrics are "the balkan girls they like to party, like to party, like nobody" and you can find the rest. It def annoyed me at first but now I'm ok with it. We'll see if over the next few days it continues to grow on me. And I tend to like the Romanian songs a lot by the time eurovision comes around.

Song link - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQT_Fa_T3oM
I like this song. Idk what it is, but it's a good song. It's just a fun song and it's like YAY. The only thing that's pissing me off is the violin (don't think it's a viola) in the background during the verses is playing the same notes that Andrea is singing. If they can fix that it'll be much better. It's a great song and if you wanna just sing and smile it's definately a song for that (even though the lyrics don't say that lol). And she has a nice voice. And the slow part needs to fit better in the song.

I REALLY REALLY REALLY DON'T LIKE THIS SONG! Such a disappointment from Belarus. I mean the song had a lot of potential, but i think the band and the singer is what kills it. If anyone covers it, it might be better. I actually had to stop listening to it many times when i tried listening to it the first time and I lost interest very quickly. And now that I re-listened to it I was tempted to take off my headphones, but i didn't in order to write this note lol. Need to forget it... NEXT SONG QUICKLY PLEASE! ...
*later on* ok now i like it... still not really good just good

Song link - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8sfB5MQ5ME(apparently new studio version...)
I like this song. At first slightly better than Albania, but slowly they just keep fighting back and forth for the better song. Ok so i just listened to the studio version and one of the things that pissed me off about it (the change from the verse to the chorus was kinda weird) it's gotten better. But one of the things that I'm wondering is how they're going to sing the DUM TEK TEK part. My friend and I have a running joke that it's going to be yelled because we just can't see anyway that it'll sound good like. So now whenever something pisses us off we're going to go DUM TEK TEK on it or their ass. (woops i said ass). So that's my reaction now to it. We still have 3 months to go.

Albania
So the first song I'm going to talk about is Albania and I'm pretty sure it was the first song selected.
Song is called Më mërr në ëndërr(Carry me with you in your dreams). Artist is Kejsi Tola.
Performance Link - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1mQR1TgAbo
Song Link - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Et5EfUC1EvA
I like this song. It's got a good beat and the singer is good, but the live she is SCREAMING instead of singing so it loses some credit from me. Other than that it's not the first time I listened to the song, so I can't give a first reaction. English version is ehh... albania version is better.
