New Video: L' Amore é femmina (Out of love) - Nina Zilli

L'amore é femmina is one of my biggest favorites of this year but now im not sure about her chances in the final, the bilingual version is just nice while the italian version was perfect, i love Nina and im sure i'll like this version more later but right now i cant see this in the top 8.

New Video: Lautar - Pasha Parfeny

This is the entry of Moldova for this year and i think its a bit meh.

United Kingdom 2012: Engelbert Humperdinck - Love will set you free

When the BBC announced that Engelbert Humperdinck was their artist for 2012, i wasnt happy at all but guess what i LOVE the song, its so classy and it has such a beautiful melody, i think this can get in a top 6 with a fantastic performance.

Here are the lyrics of "Love will set you free"

So graceful and pure
A smile bathed in light
No matter the distance
A miracle of sight

Though I should have known
I could not turn away
When faced with your beauty
No reason can stay

As you kiss him in the moonlight
With heavy words I say

If you love someone
Follow your heart
'Cause love comes once
If you're lucky enough
Though I'll miss you forever
The hurt will run deep
Only love can set you free

Trust in your dreams
Run with no fear
And if you should stumble
Remember I'm near

As a ghost I will walk
I'll look deep in my soul
I might find another
You gave me that hope

So as you kiss him in the moonlight
With heavy words I say

If you love someone
Follow your heart
'Cause love comes once
If you're lucky enough
Though I'll miss you forever
And the hurt will run deep
Only love can set you free

And if you love someone
Follow your heart
'Cause love comes once
If you're lucky enough
Though I'll miss you forever
The hurt will run deep
Love will set you free

And here is the official video:

Good Luck UK!!

New Video: Im a joker - Anri Jokhadze

I still dont get WTF is this.

New Video: When the music dies - Sabina Babayeva

Azerbaijan is the host of this year and here is their song and official video. After a couple of times listening the song, i think this is not as strong as their previous entries and only a great performance can make this song a good one, it sounds kinda anonymous but its Azerbaijan so i can see this in the top 5. The video is really nice, she looks beautiful and her dresses are great.

New Video: Zaleilah - Mandinga

Here is the eurovision version video of the Romanian entry. I think this is pretty catchy and i can see them doing very well if she sings well on the esc night.

New Video: Never forget - Gréta Salóme & Jónsi

Iceland is definitely one of my favorite countries in Eurovision and this year i have them on my top 5. What a great video and im so impress with the english version of the song, its so great, they really deserve a big round of applause cause this is magical.


Here are the lyrics of Never forget (Bravo Greta!!)

She‘s singing softly in the night
Praying for the morning light
She dreams of how they used to be
At dawn they will be free.

Memories they haunt his mind
Save him from the endless night
She whispers warm and tenderly
Please come back to me.

And when the golden sun arises far across the sea
The dawn will break as darkness fades forever we‘ll be free.

Never forget what I did, what I said
When I gave you all my heart and soul.
Morning will come and I know we‘ll be one
Cause I still believe that you‘ll remember me.

She mourns beneath the moonlit sky
Remembering when they said goodbye
Where‘s the one he used to know
It seems so long ago.

And when the golden sun arises far across the sea
The dawn will break as darkness fades forever we‘ll be free.

Never forget what I did, what I said
When I gave you all my heart and soul.
Morning will come and I know we‘ll be one
Cause I still believe that you‘ll remember me!

Ooohhh

Never forget what I did, what I said
When I gave you all my heart and soul.
Morning will come and I know we’ll be one
Cause I still believe that you’ll remember me!
Oh I still believe that you’ll remember me!
Oh I still believe that you’ll remember me!

New Video: Quedate conmigo - Pastora Soler

A new version and the official video of the spanish entry was presented today and here it is. I have to say im very happy with this, it seems they are working hard this year, the only thing i dont like about the video are the dancers and i really hope to see Pastora alone on the stage in Baku cause she doesnt need anyone with her.

New Video: Kuula - Ott Lepland

There is nothing interesting to say about this, i like him and the song sounds good.

New Video: Sound of our hearts - Compact Disco

This video has a very nice story and the song in the studio version sounds nice but the problem of this entry is the live performance, its boring and the singer vocals are not good, thats why i dont like this but if they fix those problems i think they can be one of my favorites in may.

New Video: Nebo - Nina Bradic

I still dont like this song, its kinda weak but the video is really good, she looks beautiful and its the perfect video for this kind of songs, good luck to Croatia.

New Video: Crno i Belo - Kaliopi

Very simple but good video and i really like this song, i cant wait to see Kaliopi singing this live. I wish her all the best and i hope to see her getting into the final.

Belgium 2012: Would you

Belgium had the last national selection of 2012, 2 songs competed in a 15min show and Would you won and its the song that the young Iris is going to sing in the 1st semifinal of this year. Its a kinda sweet song that right now i dont remember and thats the problem im not sure about her chances in Eurovision, i think its going to get some votes by the juries but im not sure if the televote is going to like it.

New Video: Suus - Rona Nishliu

Albania was the 2nd country that selected their entry for Eurovision 2012, Rona won the FIK in december and now here we got the final version and the official video of Suus. I think its the 1st time that the song sounds almost the same as it sounds in December and to be honest im happy for that. I love the video and i hope this can work on the Eurovision stage in may as it worked on the FIK stage cause this song has something and Rona is so talented and im sure she is going to do her best in may. Good Albania!

Azerbaijan 2012: When the music dies

I havent post anything about the Azerbaijan selection this year and it was because i didnt follow the long amateur selection and i was waiting for the song so now its time to talk about the girl that won the right to represent her country this year. Sabina Babayeva is a fantastic singer and its great to see a great singer representing Azerbaijan cause i think that was their weak part in Eurovision. Here is the song and its called "When the music dies":

Wow, now i see that they want to win again, the vocals of this girl are amazing, i cant wait to see her performing this song, i think this is the 2nd best song that Azerbaijan have sent to Eurovision, the best one for me is Always. If last year with that nice song and solid performance but a bad singer "Nikki" they won, i can see them winning with this song or at least a top 5. Well done to the swedish composers and to the ones who selected this girl cause she is really good.

New Video: Beautiful song - Anmary

What a cool video, im starting to like the song, this new version is much better, i always said that the song was catchy but now it doesnt sound so cheap demo but like a nice song. Still i will wait to see what she is going to do on the stage for Eurovision cause i think she should change the parody kinda "fun" performance and make a good and solid performance to have a chance to get into the final.
