Here's the old thread if you want to see videos for the confirmed entries

[Azor Ahai 18,861]

Slay Greece barely entering the top 10

But we will fail hard this year...

I predict we wont even make it past the semi finals  

[super ultra 878]

I still can't believe that we sent a ballad to the Eurovision, it isn't even good I mean, the lyrics is very meaningful but the other parts of the song are so boring. Hungary is ready for that last place  

[bionic 47,005]

UK entry is a mess, as usual
