The winner of Eesti Laul 2019 is Victor Crone with the song Storm:

Eesti Laul was xtra basic this year and it kinda shows on the winner, I mean it isn't bad but it's just not interesting.

Melodifestivalen 2019 - Deltävling 3: Låt skiten brinna

NU KÖR VI!

1. Somebody Wants - The Lovers Of Valdaro 

There was nothing wrong with this act, I liked the song and the performance was slick.

2. Habibi - Dolly Style

Ermm...nope.

3.  Låt skiten brinna - Martin Stenmarck

This was my favorite song from this semifinal and while I think Martin did a strong performance, I wish the staging was not so empty.

4. Victorious - Lina Hedlund

I love Lina and she looked amazing but I think she can do so much better, maybe she was too nervous but this performance left me a bit cold, the choreo didn't flow naturally, it looked too stiff and her vocals were off in some parts. Hopefully she will release her schlager DIVA queen in the final.

5. Om om och om igen - Omar Rudberg

Omar is a fierce performer and the song is very catchy, I really don't get his result but whatever, he should be proud of himself and I can't wait to get more music from him.

6. Who I Am - Rebecka Karlsson 

This song was too sugary for me and the staging was very dark for such an uplifting number.

7. Norrsken - Jon Henrik Fjällgren

Jon is adorable and he has such a beautiful aura but I'm not a fan of this song.

Italy 2019: Mahmood

The winner of Sanremo 69 is...MAHMOOD and he will represent Italy is Eurovision 2019!

After the 1st night of Sanremo 69 I had 2 big favorites and Soldi was one of them, so I'm extremely happy about him being a dark horse (he was on the red zone the 1st night) and winning the contest. I love his voice and he has such a lay back adorable and kinda sexy presence on stage that made fell in love with him that day after his 1st performance. I don't know how this will do in May but Italy will be one of my biggest favorites of this year. (If you like Soldi go check out his EP cause it has very good songs)

Time to give some shout outs:

Irama

This one would have been my winner, I loved it right away and I don't understand how he wasn't in the top 5!

Ultimo

I didn't get this one when I heard it for the first time but it grew on me the next day and I love its lyrics.

Enrico Nigiotti

Another beautiful song!

Loredana Berté

LO RE DA NA! LO RE DA NA! LO RE DA NA!

What a queen! She have everything on stage and she deserved all those standing ovations she got!

Montenegro 2019: D moll

Here is the song that will represent Montenegro in Tel Aviv: Heaven

This is my first big NO of the year but I wish them all the best.
