The German song for this year i
Early on I listened to a lot of countries as they were released and now I'm hibernating until a week or two before the contest
Haven't actually heard the German entry this year
Favorites in no particular order:
Italy (great vocal and she knows what she's doing on stage, in San Remo she even fell during a performance and still won
Spain (catchy disco-ish number with great lyrics in Spanish which don't translate so well into English)
Armenia (hard ethnic and I'm all in)
Croatia (brilliant --- the hook is the rhythm that runs through the whole song I just wish they sang in their own language)
Ireland (video's a bit overdone but the basic song's pretty good)
Switzerland (I want to like it more than I do, brilliant in conception but...)
Greece (urban modern and ethnic at the same time, and I like the performer who did one of my favorite greek songs a few years ago - mantissa)
I've heard Norway, Portugal and Belgium but they leave me kind of cold, I need to listen more to Slovenia and Lithuania I think they might grow on me)
