Here you can listen to this year's songs.

Ireland and Croatia are my favorites. ;D
I'm now at my parents house and I'm driving them crazy by listening to the songs. Because my computer doesn't work so the last time I was able to listen to the songs was like 3 weeks ago. And that's too long! *lol*

Thanks, Sanna!

I'll give them a listen and try to give you my choices.

I have a new favorite. ;D

Israel: Harel Skaat - Milim

Hi Sanna!

That's a nice one. Who do you think is going to win? I haven't yet watched them all. I stopped after about 6 or 7 of the songs, because none of them so far impressed me that much - they were just "pretty good" songs.

Do you have any other songs that you think I should listen to?

This year's songs are not as good as last year's. There are lot of ballads so the contest can become a bit boring. I miss diversity. My favorites are Israel, Ireland and Croatia (all songs are ballads).

Few others worth to mention:

Albania has nice uptempo song. www.eurovision.tv/event/artistdetail?song=25083&event=1503

Armenia is one of this year's favorites to win. I personally don't like the song. But I'm sure it will do well. www.eurovision.tv/event/artistdetail?song=25263&event=1513

France has a fun uptempo song and it will stand out from all the ballads. It's a great party song. www.eurovision.tv/event/artistdetail?song=24903&event=1493

Latvia has a quite touching ballad. www.eurovision.tv/event/artistdetail?song=25043&event=1503

Moldova also has a nice uptempo song. And the video has a really cool violin. www.eurovision.tv/event/artistdetail?song=25003&event=1503

Germany is also one of this year's favorites. www.eurovision.tv/event/artistdetail?song=24883&event=1493



And everybody vote for Finland! If you don't like the song vote for us anyway. ;D j/k

Seriously. I'm not surprised if Finland doesn't make it to the final, but I will be disappointed. I think Finland's song is one of the top 10 songs in the first semi-final. But tomorrow we will find out.

[DazedOblivion]

Those are better. Thanks.

And I'm very sorry about Finland not qualifying.

I don't have a strong favourite at this point. There are songs that I recognize as good, though the music isn't necessarily my style. It's harder to judge. I'd still like Estonia from last year.

The winner is GERMANY ; congratulation

The results:

Semi-Final (1): www.eurovision.tv/event/scoreboard?event=1503
Semi-Final (2): www.eurovision.tv/event/scoreboard?event=1513
Final: www.eurovision.tv/event/scoreboard?event=1493

Finland was 11th in the first semi-final! Just 3 more points and Finland would have made it to the final.

I'm happy that Germany won. ;D This is Germany's second victory. Germany last victory came in 1982 when 17 year old Nicole sang Ein bißchen Frieden.

I also really liked Spain's entry. I felt bad when Spain's performance was disturbed by a fan on stage but Spain was allowed to perform the song again.

Yes, congratulations Lena Mayer-Landrut and to Germany. Wow! First win since 1982. That's a long time.
