France made a very brave attempt at the 2008 contest with Sebastien Tellier song. It was appreciated more in the UK than in France where it upset quite a few people for using English in the lyrics.

Hmm…well…yes. You’ve done better Netherlands in the past. This one sounds like it has been written by a committe and failed a tallent show.

We can’t help but have a soft spot for Estonia’s song this year performed by Urban Symphony called “Rändajad”.

Is that chocolate Svetlana Loboda is covering herself with? Looks a bit creepy to be said.

Albania’s fortunes over the past few years have been improving. Let’s hope this entry from Kejsi Tola called “Carry Me In Your Dreams” will also raise their profile a little more.

Little Moldova has had it’s fair share of problems recently. Let’s hope this track from Nelly Ciobanu called “Hora Din Moldova” can cheer them up.

Lithuania’s song this year isn’t a bad one but we don’t think it’ll be enough to rock the Eurovision points table. It may pick up a few points from Poland and Latvia but the rest of Europe may consider giving their points to another.

Here we with another song from Greece. Sakis Rouvas is singing “This Is Our Night” and it’s quite a traditional Eurovision style song.

Okay, we admit. We’re pushing the European element a bit here but it’s tricky to define whether Azerbaijan is European or Asian. But on the other hand, it has a better claim than Israel which is very definetly not in Europe.

Hungary’s song seems like a throwback to the 1980’s dance culture. It’s a brave attempt. The video looks like an 80’s MTV slot too.
Not sure what they were aiming to achieve but it …

Little Slovenia has come up with a nice song this year called Love Symphony.
Marta is stunning as she slips in the odd lyric now and then around the musicians.
We hope they do well with this …

Hmm….opinions are split on this one. Some of us dislike songs which pretend to be all sad and slow building into guitar based soft rock.
