San Marino 2013: Valentina Monetta is back to fly like a butterfly

Valentina Monetta is back and this year she is going to show us how talented she is! Here is the video of her 2013 entry "Crisalide":

This is so beautiful, i think its great to have her in eurovision again cause last year she didnt have a connection with the song, this time i think its going to be fantastic and i hope the keep it simple in performance cause Valentina is amazing and doesnt need any over the top stage act so please let her be herself on stage and she will shine! I love the lyrics of the song and i really hope for a good result in may! Go Valentina!!!

Macedonia 2013: Pred da se razdeni

There was huge drama in Macedonia with the song "Imperija" and they decided to change it and here is the new Macedonian entry for this year:

Im a bit disappointed cause i really think Imperija with some little changes would have been amazing in Eurovision this year, i like this new song but theres nothing to get excited about, theres nothing that makes me remember it. Now im thinking that maybe it was a mistake to make this duet as their music styles are so different, it would have been better to have Esma this year and Lozano next year cause they are great but together one of them is not shining as the other, theres no folk sounds in this new song and it bothers me cause Esma is there too and i think she was much better with Imperija! Good luck to Macedonia!

New Video: Tomorrow - Gianluca Bezzina


Im going to use just one word to describe the song, the video and Gianluca: CUTE! I love it! one of my favorites from this year! Well done Malta! Go Gianluca!

New Video: Ég á lif - Eythor Ingi


Well done to the people who made the video cause they did a very good job! I love Eythor and i like the song a lot so i really wish him the best for the semifinal! Go Iceland!

New Video: What if - Dina Garipova


The juries are so going to love this! I really like the song now and she is a fantastic singer so i can see this doing very well!. The video is cool and she looks great! Good luck Dina!

New Video: An me thimase - Despina Olympiou


Here is the video of the lovely song from Cyprus! I watched the eurovision.tv chat with Despina and i just love her! she is lovely! Go Despina!!

New Video: Love Kills - Roberto Bellarosa


They did a fantastic job with the revamp of the song, it sound 1000times better and now i really like it so lets hope he can do a good performance! Go Roberto!

Montenegro 2013: IGRANKA!!!

The guys from Who see and Nina Zizic presented their eurovision song "Igranka" today and here it is:

BOOOOOM! O.O I wasnt expecting this but i have a new big favorite!!! MONTENEGRO! This is one of the best songs of this year, its modern, interesting, powerful, the production of the song is fanstastic and i just hope with all my heart that they can do an explosive performance on stage cause i know it can be a mess live but we will have to wait to see that so im gonna put my hopes on them to work out a magnificent performance on may! Well done Who See & Nina!! GO MONTENEGRO!!!!!

New Video: Contingo hasta el final - El Sueño de Morfeo


Beautiful video and the song is really nice, its growing on me but its still not one of my favorites!

Azerbaijan 2013: Farid Mammadov - Hold me

Today was the final in the Azerbaijans selection and Farid Mammadov won the competition with the song "Hold me"

He has a lot of charisma and thats why i like him but i really think the song is bland!. I think they should have change the song but i guess they dont have time for that, im sure its gonna get a good result still its not going to be one of my favorites. Good luck Azerbaijan

What a fun video! I like it a lot and i really enjoy this song so Go Greece!!!

New Video: Identitet - Adrian Lulgjuraij & Bledar Sejko


Here is the final version of the Albanian song. I think it sounds ok but im not crazy about it, this song needs the live orchestra to be great cause without the orchestra the song lacks some power and energy but still i think it might get in the final. Good luck Adrian & Bledar! Good luck Albania!

The Netherlands 2013: Birds

Anouk presented her eurovision song "Birds" some minutes ago and here it is:

This is so beautiful, i love it! Its not a eurovision ballad or anything like that, its just a great classy magical song and im sure its going to be 2000 times better on a live performance. Well done Anouk!! GO THE NETHERLANDS!!

Sweden 2013: Isn't it crazy? ROBIN STJERNBERG WON!!!!!

United Kingdom 2013: Bonnie Tyler

The BBC selected Bonnie Tyler and her song "Believe in me" to represent United Kingdom in May! Here is the official video of her Eurovision entry:

I like Bonnie, i kinda like the song but i dont think this is the right act for Eurovision and it sucks cause i really cant believe that this was the best act they got! She is great but i dont think the public is going vote for this "just ok" song. Good luck Bonnie! Good luck UK!

Belarus 2013: Alyona wont be dancing to the Rhythm of love in Malmö

As we all were expecting Alyona Lanskaya changed her eurovision song, her new entry is called "Solayoh" and here it is:

Welcome to Eurovision 2002! all we need now is some cheap clothes and a huge gimmick! I never liked Rhythm of love but this new song its on the same level so its not a big change. Good luck Belarus!

Melodifestivalen 2013: Running order - Final

Here is the running order made by Bjorkman for the final:

1. "Tell the World I’m Here" - Ulrik Munther

2. "Skyline" - David Lindgren

3. "Falling" - State of Drama

4. "Begging" - Anton Ewald

5. "Only the Dead Fish Follow the Stream" - Louise Hoffsten

6. "Bed on Fire" - Ralf Gyllenhammar

7. "En riktig jävla schlager" - Ravaillacz

8. "Copacabanana" - Sean Banan

9. "You" - Robin Stjernberg

10. "Heartbreak Hotel" - YOHIO

Im ready to get dissapointed, i really dont get the hype of Yohio with his mediocre song, i really hope for a Mirakel! (even that song is better than the "favorite" this year) This year im supporting Ulrik Munther, Ralf Gyllenhammar, Louise Hoffsten and Robin Stjernberg! So please, SWEDEN dont vote for looks vote for talented artists with good songs!
