So far: Bulgaria no 1

I didn't manage to make a top ten list of the songs selected to ESC so far, since the quality of the entries isn't the best this year. However, these are my 5 favourites:

1. Bulgaria: Deep Zone & Balthazar - DJ, take me away
Crazy and unique in this context (see videoclip)

2. Iceland: Euroband - This is my life
YES! More eurodance in Eurovision!

3. Greece: Kalomoira - Secret Combination
A good song with ethno tunes. But.. I wonder if her live perfomance is strong enough..

4. Ireland: Dustin the Turkey - Irelande douze points
Great song.. If only the bird could shut the hell up.

5. Lithuania: Jeronimas Milius - Nomads in the nights
Powerful and emotional ballad that might be able to stand out among the Molitva-wannabees.

Greek final at 21.00 tonight!

All is set for the greek final tonight and this year I hope the webcast works.. I find it very strange that only three artists compete, maybe ESC is not that popular among singers in Greece. Anyway, this year I like all three entries so I don't really mind who they'll send to Belgrade. Here's my ranking though:

1. Kalomoira - Secret Combination
A great song performed with a great voice and also a very good pronounciation. From what I've heard I think the refrain might be a bit too weak.

2. Kostas Martakis - Always and forever
A good song and Kostas has a very pleasant voice. I've heard a few others of his songs and I find them very nice.

3. Chrispa - A chance to love
Also a good song, but in ESC it might not be able to stand out. I really like the ethnic sounds.

Whoever wins tonight, good luck to Greece! ;)

After the 2nd semi

The songs in this year's Melodifestivalen has so far been ok I think. Two of my favourites, Amy Diamond and Sanna Nielsen is in the final, which I'm happy about. I'm even happier that Carola and Andreas didn't qualify right away. Hehe, the look on her face was priceless. Anyway, in the semi in Linköping I guess BWO has a good chance of qualifying, but we'll see.
