Something else, Lidia Isac from Moldova is trying again for Eurovision, but this time at Switzerland's national selection! She is in the top 21 and she may be selected for the national final in February! This time she is competing along with an Italian singer.

OMG, I'm so happy now! I loved "Falling Stars" and I think Moldova was criminally underrated!

Eneda's song was AMAZING in its initial form but then she screwed up with the revamp. I mean, I still liked it but it was not strong enough to qualify.

I'm glad that Flaka is trying again this year, even though she had a good song. Eneda was a good song and had potential.

Me too!

Two of my favourites of last year's FiK include Flaka Krelani and Besa Krasniqi.

I liked Flaka's song, it was so much catchier and more modern than most FiK songs and her live vocals were great. She finished 3rd. She has tried many times and is trying again this year. Hopefully, her song is as good as "S'je pėr mu" or even better, why not?

I liked Besa's song very much too, it was so sweet. Unfortunately, she finished outside of the top 10. She said she might compete in Melodifestivalen 2017, she is half-Albanian and half-Swedish. The participants of Melodifestivalen are being revealed the day after tomorrow so we'll know soon if she is in.

It should only be a couple of days till the songs are released then. I'm looking forward to hearing the songs

I think what it was, was that I didn't catch up with any Eurovision news till like January last year so that must be why

I usually like Albania's entries and I have mixed feelings for Finland.

Last year the Semi-Finals took place on 25 and 26 December and the final on 27. It has just been revealed that this year it's going to be 21, 22 and 23. The songs are expected to be released soon.

When was it last year, I'm not very hopeful for Albania's song choices. I do think that Finland and Albania are two of the weakest countries in Eurovision.

It's actually around Christmas, at the end of December.
