For those who may be confused, Iceland's entry is not Jónsi from Sigur Rós

Urgh, really? Surely you guys have something better than that?

We best not have some average boy band represent us again. The UK has picked some really bad choices in the last few years.

Yeah, I am pretty sure Jedward are confirmed, the UK always makes me laugh because they have lots of famous singers and always pick really obscure entries. I think Ireland can do better than Jedward though, since they didn't win last year, no point sending them again.

I'd like to see a good contest between Ireland and the UK again, like years ago. We both seem hell bent on choosing some really **** entries.

Can remember us giving top marks to Moldova (the best Eurovision performance of all time) as well and Graham Norton went ''Really Uk? Really?''

I don't like any of those.

Youtube video

(Switzerland - "Unbreakable" by Sinplus)

Youtube video

(Albania - "Suus" by Rona Nishliu)

Youtube video

(France - "You and I" by Anggun)

Youtube video

(Germany - "Standing Still" by Roman Lob)

Youtube video

(Bosnia & Herzegovina - "Korake ti Znam" by Mayasar)

Youtube video

(Belarus - "All My Life", Alyona Lanskaya)

Youtube video

(Hungary - "Sound of our Hearts" by Compact Disco)

Youtube video

(Cyprus - "La La Love" by Ivi Adamou)

only other ones I could find on YouTube. Favourites so far are Cyprus and France, but the German and Hungarian songs are nice too.

I'm still amused that I drew Azerbaijan last year and they won.

I think entering Jedward again is a smart move, people really liked them last year and this year all the the countries who wouldn't have known them before, will.
