I forgot Croatia at making my top 15 apart of these 15 i like Croatia as said above , Cyprus Serbia Denmark Austria
On first hearing I was very disappointed with the quality of entries this year, but I've been a ESC fan since 1967, so I'm not easily put off. On second and third hearings I've completely changed my mind and think there are some really excellent songs competing this year. There are a few that are trying to copy Mans, but there are some that are genuinely good efforts and, the big difference for me, is that the English lyrics have improved. In the past non-English-speaking countries writing English have made some horrible errors and gross rhymes...but not this year, except perhaps for Serhat, and that's just adorable!!! Anyway, here's my ranking. Those I've missed out are a mass of mediocrity. I'm just treating them all as equally awful. 1. Sweden 2. Holland 3. Cyprus 4. UK 5. Spain 6. Lithuania 7. France 8. Australia 9. Finland 10. Switzerland 11. Macedonia 12. Bosnia and Herzegovina 13. Italy 14. Bulgaria And I think that's about it.
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. This is my opinion after hearing the songs a few time. Belgium is the song I had to listen to few times to find catchy so I leave it in top 10. Croatia and Italy have the best songs this year I think and I really like the Austrian too. I still can't understand all the fuzz about Russia this year... I've listen to that song like 5 times now and I do not understand why it is flying high when it comes to stakes... But my opinion will probably change after some weeks.. It's like 2 months until esc..
just noticed that in the past 2 years the respective winners have took the 13th place in my anual ranking, this year my pre arrival 13th is Croatia, which means she will win
After the first rehearsal I have to update my results: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 10. And my 12 points go to
