It'd help if any of the ballads were interesting and you didn't forget them in 30 seconds, Lucie sells her's the best and has the greatest vocals mind.

Exactly.

Lucie slays. Her song and voice really touch me.

she's good, but I like Italy way more, and i'm mostly not into overhyped songs :hee:

Well, Italy had better remove the gorilla, it looks like a gimmick to attract votes to me.

well then Conchita had to remove the beard, or just perform as a dude :hehe:

I mean Conchita was more than the beard and had the best performance anyway, so.

Francesco has got a good song, that tune makes me want to dance along with him and the gorilla :hee:

Everything in Conchita's song and performance was on point. She didn't really need the beard to slay my life.

i did not say that, Conchita's song was more like a Bond theme for me personally, classy and sexy, if he performed it without the wig and dress, it would've been good as well


Francesco is a good singer, i'm Lucky it's all in italian, but the dancing gorilla gives it a bit of a funny approach :hee:

Given the generally good reaction and the big number of ballads this year, I think Italy will be in the top 10.

Conchita would not had won without the beard though lets be honest plus she only gained fans in the week it was on

Anyway i have decided Moldova have won this year

i hope so :hee:

So did Netherlands, the simplicity and live performances totally escalated them, imagine thinking she wouldn't have won without the beard.

It was a good song but i dont think she would have won i reckon Russia may have and expected them to do so

I forgot her beard could sing lol!

Most people remember her beard over everything else what does that say

I think it's hilarious, love it :joker:

I love the gorilla, it's less gimmicky than some ffs

I mean it is the biggest gimmick of the year so far, bar maybe Ukraine and their timebomb (Love the Big Brother promo x) but that's basically because pretty much everything else is a female ballad where they stand still.

Latvia added to the OP and a new #1 for me is confirmed.

I'm not a big fan of Latvia's entry, but it will probably stand out.

Latvia for me a nice entry, good looking girl either :)

The Israeli (uptempo) song is "I Feel Alive" and will be released next Thursday. Going by its writers' reputation, it should be something along the lines of "Golden Boy".
