Now it's only 9 countries left to select/release their entries: 🇦🇹 Austria will release Cesár Sampsons song "Nobody but You" on Friday 9th of March. 🇦🇺 Jessica Mauboy will represent Australia and her song "We Got Love" will be released at some point in March. 🇧🇪 Sadly it leaked, but the Belgian entry "A Matter of Time" by Sennek will be released tomorrow, 6th of March. 🇧🇬 Bulgaria will announce their entry on Monday 12th of March. 🇮🇱 Israels entry "Toy" by Netta Barzilai will premiere on national TV on Saturday 10th of March. 🇱🇹 The Lithuanian national final is on Sunday 11th of March. 🇳🇴 Norway selects their entry in their national final Melodi Grand Prix on Saturday 10th of March. 🇷🇺 Comeback for Yulia Samoylova and Russia! Her song is yet to be announced, which will happen some time in March. 🇸🇪 The final of Melodifestivalen in Sweden finally takes place on Saturday 10th of March. I have high hopes for Austria, Australia and Bulgaria. I hope Russia will deliver a good ballad, but I'm scared it will end up so so again. Israel did serve some great bops the past few years, so I hope they will do it again. Sweden will pick Benjamin, LIAMOO or Mariette, so they will be in my top 10 anyways. Norway has nothing great in their selection, so they will probably flop this year. Don't know anything about Lithuania... 3 hours ago, Josip said: Azerbaijan... Well, all I can say is that I am so sorry for countries like Azerbaijan having almost unlimited amount of money, "dream team" behind their artist/song and then coming up with something that would have been top 5 in 2008. Right? I'm so done with the 'dream team' hype. They flopped with Greece last year and they will again. 3 hours ago, Josip said: 🇦🇱 Albania (and probably 🇲🇹 Malta) has yet to release their revamped song. 🇮🇪 🇲🇰 🇬🇪 Ireland, Macedonia and Georgia are to release their songs - Macedonia in 6 days, while the other two countries' release dates are unknown. ðŸ‡ðŸ‡· Most importantly, queen Franka of kingdom Croatia is releasing her song and video tomorrow! Besides Malta and Albania, the UK will also revamp their song. I think Malta can really benefit from the revamp if they do it correctly. Ireland better delivers this year. It's so weird to see a country, once so strong, really flopping now. I hope Macedonia gives us a bop like last year, but this time they should deliver on the stage too. Last year they had top 5 song imo. Georgia will not impress me I suppose. But Croatia will slay me, she will land in my top 5! 2 hours ago, Josip said: Now I like it even more. It's quality! I hope they will give it a good staging.

But in the final, ofc Also, Montenegro is revamping their song. I hope it turns out to be Balkan ballad with a little more soul. Now when we have most of the songs, it would seem that SF1 will be a bloodbath and SF2 right now barely has like 8 good songs which deserve going to the final. I am a bit scared for Franka. I think that the song will be "Lovewave" like, in a way that people will either think it's amazing or pure trash  But I don't care as long as it's good quality-wise.

It will be fun to see how the jury votes. It will most probably determine the winner, and we have Benjamin, LIAMOO and Mariette with bops, most of them will probably award Margaret with high points, even S&M could be doing well...

NNN, I told you that SF1 would end up like the bloodbath and not SF2. Don't be scared. Croatia will standout for sure. If Nina can make it with that hideous dress, I'm sure Franka will do much better. 3 hours ago, Josip said: It will be fun to see how the jury votes.

However, after AC I actually started to like the song and the performance so I will be happy if that actually happens 1 hour ago, Dutch said: NNN, I told you that SF1 would end up like the bloodbath and not SF2.

I agree, after Jacques and Nina, anything we send goes to the final I didn't manage to hear Australia, the video got removed. Is it really that bad?

I guess the red-white-blue flags are here to stay in the final. It's not bad, it's just a basic pop song again... Not the kinda pop songs that blow your socks off (I've to say the song from Cyprus and Azerbaijan are growing on me tho, but they are still not really the big Eurovision bops).
