As mentioned by Kegs, not a lot of info without our old friend Steve. Have caught a few of the entries and not sure anything is good enough coming out the semi - finals, so gone with the following 3 -
Spain with Fred and Ami.
I know this tune, they've ripped it from somewhere but I can't put my finger on it.
I'll have a bit of that, very catchy and will do well, especially in Lisbon.
I'll add this to m y shortlist to listen to again later.
Slovenia: Lea Sirk - Hvala, ne!
too.... too much techno and Euro beat.
Trying to hard to impress and it does grow on you but by the time it does the song ends abruptly just as you're getting into it.
With another listen I'd probably like this song but the song has to be here and now as most viewers are only going to listen once before the next one comes along.
Lovely song but the lyrics do sound a bit corny.
With the world having an ever ageing population and more and more youngsters mixing with us old bastards the song could do very well, best song I've heard yet although I'm only four songs in.
Defo on my shortlist.
Austria: Cesar Sampson - Nobody But You.
Bit middle of the road but nice song, sort of Back Street Boys'y and probably rather dated.
Quality song though and well produced, I'd say top 10 minimum.
Norway: Alexander Rybak - That’s How You Write A Song.
Apparently this fella's won the comp before and you can see why, catchy number and in very much the same vane as Michael Bublé as he's an entertainer.
I wouldn't write this one off as bad as it might sound because this fella has the experience and presentation skills on the night to do very well.
I'll add this to my shortlist.
United Kingdom: SuRie - Storm
Usual corny catchy fare from the UK which will do well not to finish last, we probably produce the best music in the world but insist on pushing 2 or 3 syllable music in this competition thinking they're all thick cnuts that like foot tapping music.
Samoans's got us at 250's and I'm not surprised lol.
Typical music for the region that will attract local support from neighbouring countries, do well to finish top 10 imo.
Make a good advert for an exotic airline though.
Like this, great tune and modernish male vocals aka Sheeran and James Bluntesque.
My Favourite so far but that's just me not your standard European in recent years.
Ehhm.......No......so I thought but i don't know what to make of it as it's pretty original.
His range of vocals could throw up some surprises.
Could be a good E/W bet.
