Blimey! These are going for it with full Balkan force! A great Eurovision song this from Igor Cukrov and Andrea called “Lijepa Tena”. A good guess for high marks, excluding those from it’s neighbours.

Expect high marks for this one from Bosnia’s neighbours as is the political vote provided in the Balkans. It’s not a bad affair with socialist style visuals and a reasonable song.

Plucky little Malta down there in the sun has come up with a song which seems to have the signs of having been written by a committee sadly. Chiara gives it a good go but something nor quite there with this song called “What If We”.

Portugal isn’t a country known for great Eurovision sucesses. It’s good to find them still competing in the wake of recent voting paterns for East European participants.

No sign of rock monsters this year. Just a techno-euro-pop affair which will have discos and nighclubs around Europe going for a while.

Slow exgagertaed walking with enphasised wiggle. Beautiful amazonian tall women who would probably tear off your head with their teeth. There’s something a little bit scarey about them. Like their neighbours Bulgaria, they seem to have a horse things going on too. Must be horse season in the Balkans perhaps.

The Macedonian entry looks like a Bon Jovi tribute band from the 80’s however the look doesn’t detract from the enthusiam of the singers Next Time and their song, “Neshto Shto Ke Ostane”.

Iceland! Land of fire, ice and beautiful women singing with huge smiles. Can’t help but fault the traditional sound of Eurovision in this one!

Blimey! Now this is a bit dramatic. Swords, horses, mythical knights. Can’t help but admire the attempt. I wonder how this will translate to the stage in Moscow? Will they bring the horse on stage?

Turkey’s desires to join the European Union have stalled for many reasons over the years but its still at it’s heart a European country since pre Roman times. A frequent participate to the contest, this year’s entry is “Düm Tek Tek” by Hadise. You can’t help but admire the pretty ladies 🙂

There isn’t much people don’t know about Switzerland. The country is famous for many things; chocolate, clocks, sking, highest gun ownership in the world, and fantastic scenery.

Little Andorra isn’t somewhere you hear about in daily conversation. Tucked down there on the Pyrennes. Blink and you could miss it on your way from France to Spain. However this little principality has its own offering to this year’s contests.
