NuVidz: Loreen, Sam Smith, Annalisa, Maraaya!

Pretty much everyone adored Loreen's new song - I'm In It With You - when it was released a couple of months ago however the same can't be said for her video-clip. Yes, it's weird. A multicultural group of girls just go around destroying things.. To be fair, I've always admired Loreen but her latest video is just a big no no. Shame as the song is excellent. Judge for yourself here. Sam Smith's Writing's On The Wall has also had a pretty bad reaction but this blogger thinks it is gorgeous. Imagine something like this representing the UK in Eurovision? It's a dream. Unless you've been living under a rock these past few weeks, you would've heard the song is the official theme tune to Spectre. The new James Bond film which will be released at the end of the month.Meanwhile Annalisa's Splende has an official video-clip and y'all can enjoy it here. Finally, Marjetka from Maraaya has lost her headphones for their new single. Living Again. Actually I kinda love it. 

NuVidz: Il Volo, Malú, Sia, Edurne!

Il Volo's new album is out today and the leading track is L'amore si muove. Thoughts? Meanwhile Malú also released Quiero today and will release her 10th studio album in November. It would be wonderful to see her represent Spain next year. During my time in Tenerife, I kept hearing Me Fui and now I love that song. Yesterday, the incredibly talented Sia presented Alive and the song has almost 1.5 million hits already. If Australia do continue to participate, SBS promised a big name.... and finally, Edurne's new single has an offcial video-clip. Basta.

NuVidz: Måns Zelmerlöw, Ruth Lorenzo, Doda, Nadav Guedj!

Måns Zelmerlöw, the reigning king of Eurovision, has released a new single. Listen below:

This blogger is in love. Absolutely stunning! Earlier today, Ruth Lorenzo released the official audio of 99 - her latest track. She plans to release a special edition of Planeta Azul in October. It will will feature collaborations with different artists and songs from Planeta Azul in English. 99 will feature on this album. 

Will she? Won't she? This is the question we all had regarding Doda's potential participation in Eurovision 2015. In the end, she didn't represent Poland. Obviously. Next year? Maybe. In the meantime, let's enjoy her latest song...

And finally we have some new music from out Israeli golden boy - Nadav Guedj! Great summer vibes here. Summer is not ever yet :-) 

NuVidz: Emma, Softengine, Dinah Nah, Alyosha!

Occhi Profondi is Emma Marrone's new single. The queen of Italian music doesn't disappoint - her new track is epic. This blogger can't help but wonder how she would've fared in Eurovision with a song like this.... Softengine's new song is entitled All About You & I. Another awesome song from these guys. You can buy it on iTunes here. Dinah Nah wants to taste your love. Yes, I'm serious. The Swedish singer released Taste Your Love earlier today. And finally, we have Alyosha's new song. Моё Сердце, which translates from Russian into English as My Love, is dominating the charts in Ukraine. The song focuses on love and fixing things then they've gone wrong. The video-clip is stunning. I'd love to see her back on the Eurovision stage one day..

NuVidz: SEREBRO, Nargiz Zakirova, Elliphant, Tamta!

Summer is finally here (apparently) and SEREBRO's new song, Kiss, has the perfect summer vibe. I can imagine myself listening to this on a beach somewhere sipping Mojito.. Not their greatest effort but a cracking tune nethertheless. Staying in Russia, Nargiz Zakirova has released ТЫ-МОЯ НЕЖНОСТЬ. This tattooed beauty has to represent Russia in Eurovision! I adore her. Nargiz could easily win the contest I think, with the right song of course. Elliphant is a rather undiscovered talent it seems. I heard Love Me Badder on the radio a couple of weeks ago and was immediately hooked... Will she enter Melodifestivalen 2016? And finally, Tamta's new single! Unloved. She was supposed to enter the Greek national final however couldn't make up her mind as to what song to participate with, and subsequently Maria-Eleni Kyriakou took her place... The rest is history.

NuVidz: Lena, Sophia Patsalides, FIKI, Ruth Lorenzo!

Ir has been a while since I did a NuVidz post, hasn't it? Well here's some new songs for y'all to enjoy! Lena's latest single is Traffic Lights. Fresh and catchy. A great comeback! The love You Know is a superb ballad sung by Sophia Patsalides. She might not have won Junior Eurovision but me thinks a star was born the night she performed in JESC and that we'll see much more from her in the future. I'd love to see represent Cyprus in Eurovision soon. Wouldn't it be awesome?! Bulgarian star FIKI has released Bum.. The song is terrific the music video is very appealing on the eye! Another aritst I'd love to see on the Eurovision stage one day. And finally, we all remember Ruth Lorenzo screaming dancing in the rain last year. She has released the official video clip for Flamingos. One of my favourite songs from her album and Ruth is, as always, stunning!

NuVidz: Conchita Wurst, Alexa Feser, Dinah Nah, Loreen!

The national final season is almost over, so I thought it's time to take a look at some recent releases! Here are some of my favourite songs at the moment...

The unofficial queen of Eurovision, Conchita Wurst, has released a new song. You Are Unstoppable. It seems Conchita will perform this song during Eurovision in May. I love it! Will this also be included on the official Eurovision album? Like Rainmaker was last year... Maybe. Germany's national final is one we're going to remember for very long time; mainly due of Andreas, the winner, giving his title to runner-up Ann Sophie. But let's not forget the amazing Glück by Alexa Feser. It's a gorgeous song. Meanwhile, Dinah Nah may have come last in Melodifestivalen last night but Make Me deserved to do so much better. Great song... and finally, Loreen's new single! This blogger adores Paper Light (Higher) - watch her perform it at Melodifestivalen here. An interesting choice of outfit to say the least ;-)

NuVidz: Il Volo, Ruth Lorenzo, Nek, Anna Tatangelo!

Il Volo are among the favourites, if not THE favourite, to win Sanremo tomorrow night and get the ticket to Vienna. Their song is fantastic and you can watch the official video-clip of Grande Amore here. Their song hasn't been on YouTube for even 48 hours yet and it already has over 200,00 hits. Sorprendente!! Moving away from Sanremo for the moment, Ruth Lorenzo has released the official music video for Renuncio. Once again, the lovely Ruth never fails to impress. Fatti avanti amore is another favourite to win Sanremo tomorrow - and my personal favourite too. Nek has been winning many polls and has actually overtaken Il Volo in the betting odds today. Sanremo continues tonight where all 20 'Big Artists' will sing their songs and four will be eliminated. Unfortunately, Anna Tatangelo is at risk of being eliminated with Libera..

If you're going to watch Sanremo tonight, use this hashtag on Twitter - #Sanremo2015

NuVidz: Sergey Lazarev, Mrs. Greenbird, Indila, Tim Schou!

Sergey Lazarev has recently released 7 цифр. It's an awesome pop song. Sergey is tipped to represent Russia in Vienna with Breaking Away. This blogger think he would be a fantastic choice if selected but only time will tell if the rumours turn out to be true. Shine, Shine, Shine is one of the songs Mrs. Greenbird are aiming to represent Germany with. What do you think about their song? I think it's cute. Indila's Love Story is one of my favourite songs from her album Mini World. The official-video for Love Story was released a couple of months ago.. unfortunately, she isn't interested in Eurovision. Finally, Goodbye is Tim Schou's latest song and you can buy it on iTunes if you wish.

NuVidz: Mariya Yaremchuk, Sergey Lazarev, Lidia Kopania, Modà feat. Emma!

Mariya Yaremchuk has ditched her hamster wheel and released a song which translates to Against The Wind. Mariya wrote the song when she was only 12 years old. It's very beautiful and it makes me wish Ukraine didn't withdraw... Sergey Lazarev is tipped to represent Russia next year with the song Breaking Away. Apparently, he was going to fly the Russian flag last year but pulled out last minute. Would he be a good choice? Lazarev is one of Russia's biggest stars at the moment. Meanwhile, the beautiful Lidia Kopania has released a new song. Pod słowami is a decent song with a fantastic video-clip to match. And the last song I'll share before Christmas is Come in un film by Modà and Emma Marrone. A fabulous song from these Italian superstars :-)

NuVidz: Giorgia, Nicole Scherzinger, Alyona Lanskaya, Stephanie Nala!

Giorgia is one of Italy's most well respected singers and she released a new video-clip a few days ago. La mia stanza is very different when compared to her other songs. It's uptempo and does sound a little dated.. yet I like it! What do you think? This blogger is desperate to see her in Eurovision. I even featured her in my Wishlist Series earlier this year. Nicole Scherzinger performed Run on The X Factor last weekend and wow, her performance was stunning! It features on Nicole's new album and you can buy it here on iTunes. One of the best songs I've heard in a long time. I'm Alive is Alyona Lanskaya's latest song. She's heavily rumoured to return to Belarus's selection (which takes place on Boxing Day) and it's probable that I'm Alive is the song she will compete with. Hmmm, it's OK. Finally, you probably won't be familiar with Stephanie Nala but she's fantastic. She was eliminated in week two on The X Factor but I think Stephanie deserved to do so much better. Check out her covers of Wicked Games and Can't Hurry Love. Isn't she adorable?!

NuVidz: Conchita Wurst, Pixie Lott, Ally, Swanky Tunes feat. Raign!

Conchita's follow up single to Rise Like A Phoenix is Heroes. I really love it. She's also performed the song liv on Austrian TV - you can watch that here. Conchita will another performance at the Maltese national final next weekend. The beautiful Pixie Lott has covered Caravan Of Love, which was originally made famous by Isley-Jasper-Isley. Pixie is currently taking part on the British version of Strictly Come Dancing, and she's a hot favourite to take the trophy next month. This blogger would simply love to see her represent the United Kingdom in Vienna.... Another Day is the song Ally's aiming to represent Switzerland with. Nice song!! She did compete in the Swiss national final in 2013 with Catch Me. Maybe she will be a bit more successful this year? And finally, I've got to share this awesome tune! Swanky Tunes, an electronic trio from Russia, teamed up with Raign and they released Fix Me a couple of months ago. This blogger is now a massive fan of Raign after her appearance on the British version of The X Factor. 

NuVidz: Emma, Ruth Lorenzo, Molly, Softengine!

Some many awesome songs have been released recently. Firstly, the video-clip of Resta Ancora Un Po' has been released today and it's stunning. Emma's songs just get better and better. Gigantes is Ruth's new song. She's doing very well in the Spanish charts as it has already peaked at #6. This song is the second single on Planeta Azul - after her Eurovision entry. Great tune! Molly might have flopped in Copenhagen but this hasn't stopped the Leicestershire born singer. She's back with Lock Up Your Daughter. Sign up to her mailing list and you can download the song for free. Oh Molly, your voice is gorgeous. And finally, The Sirens is the third single on Softengine's new album - We Created the World. Some fantastic tracks on this album. I really love it. These guys are the best thing to come out of Finland since Lordi!

NuVidz: Serebro, Samanta Tina, Raign, Tamta ft. Xenia Ghali

Serebro has released НЕ НАДО БОЛЬНЕЕ. This electronic number is fabulous!! One of their best songs for sure. The group represented mother Russia back in 2007 and achieved 3rd place. Samanta Tina's latest track is Skatuve. This blogger really hopes to see her represent Latvia in Vienna... Will it happen? Anyone watching The X Factor this year will know Raign. She's easily the most controversial singer in this series, or was until Simon Cowell eliminated her last weekend. Cheryl Fernandez-Versini might find her annoying but Don't Let Me Go entered the alternative singles chart at 38. This proves people like her and her songs. She's tipped to be the wildcard and if so, she'll grace our screens again when the live shows start. I adore Raign - she's unique and has a great voice. ##RaignForWildCard!! Finally, Georgian singer Tamta has teamed up with Xenia Ghali and released Gennithika Gia Sena. She's tipped to be the Georgian representative in Eurovision next year.. A good choice if true!

NuVidz: The Common Linnets, Neil Diamond, Sunstroke Project feat Deepcentral, Anouk!

The official video-clip of Give Me A Reason was premiered this morning and it's fantastic! The video-clip was filmed in an old barn, surrounded by farm animals and it suits the song perfectly. They will tour The Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany and Austria later this year. The Art Of Love is Neil Diamond's latest tune. This blogger has always been a fan of the American singer-songwriter. Another beautiful song from this legend! Splendid voice. Stunning lyrics. He will release an album will be released on 21st October. Can't wait for that!!! SunStroke Project, the group who represented Moldova in 2010 with Olia Tira, joined forces with Deepcentral and released Sunshine. A great summer tune - shame it wasn't released a few months earlier... Since giving birth to her fifth child, Anouk released Places To Go. It's a very personal video for Anouk as it includes her new son. She'll release an album in a couple of months.

NuVidz: Emmelie de Forest, Carl Espen, Natascha Bessez, Dotan!

Emmelie de Forest's new single Drunk Tonight has received somewhat of a mixed reaction. The song itself is pretty good but it's the video-clip that's got people talking. The Danish star gets naked near a swimming pool and she cries a lot. An iPhone also gets chucked into the pool.. What do you guys make of this? Holding On is Carl Espen's latest song. Great voice and the lyrics are fantastic. Like his Eurovision entry, it was composed by Josefin Winther. This blogger adores Natascha Bessez and she has recently released the video-clip for La Da Di Da. She participated in DMGP - along with Danish saxophonist Michael Rune. Her voice is awesome! Y'all can support her by liking her Facebook page. Finally, Dotan's Home has been extremely successful in the Dutch charts. He's also rumoured to be the Dutch representative for Eurovision 2015....

NuVidz: Pastora Soler, Helena Paparizou, Waylon, Cheryl Cole ft. Tinie Tempah!

Pastora Soler restored Spain's faith in Eurovision and since Baku, the Spanish singer has released a new album entitled Conóceme. Vive is one of my favourite songs from this album. Meanwhile, Helena Paparizou has recently revealed her new single - Don’t Hold Back On Love. This dance track is already very popular in Greece! Perfect for the summer! Love Drunk is Waylon's new song. This blogger loves it.. #VeryImpressed! Waylon decided to leave The Common Linnets a couple of months ago so he could concentrate on his own music. This song will naturally feature on his upcoming album that'll be released in September, I believe. Cheryl Cole (or should that be Fernandez-Versini?) comeback single is Crazy Stupid Love, which features rapper Tinie Tempah. The song reached number one in the UK singles charts. She's returning to The X Factor this year and will release an album towards the end of the year! Welcome back, Chezza!

NuVidz: Sebalter, Indila, Dima Bilan, Janet!

After coming 13th in Eurovision and achieving Switzerland's best result since 2005, Sebalter has been recording songs for his new album - and his latest track is Saturday. Indila's S.O.S has been viewed over 10 million times on YouTube and it's a lovely song. She's one of France's biggest stars - so, wouldn't it be fantastique if she represented France next year? I'm a big fan! Meanwhile, Bolyen toboy is Dima Bilan's latest single and this blogger likes it very much. Most Eurovision fans aren't too keen on him but I enjoy his music. Nice song! Maybe we'll see him return to the Eurovision stage soon? He did enter the Russian selection in 2012 with Julia Volkova but the grannies were unstoppable! Janet came 3rd in the Belorussian selection with You Will He Here and she's recently released the official video-clip. Beautiful. I doubt this song would've qualified in Copenhagen although it's charming! :')

NuVidz: Jessika, Who See, Giorgia, Kovacs!

Jessika was the favourite to win the Maltese national final this year, and she even won the public vote - but the jury preferred Firelight. Anyway, she has released the official music video of Hypnotica. Great stuff! This song would have been awesome in Copenhagen! Montenegro's 2013 representatives, Who See, have released a new video-clip. Nemam ti kad was filmed in Bangkok. Not as good as their Eurovision entry but it's okay, nevertheless. This blogger is still gutted they didn't make the final... who doesn't love Nina Zizic and astronauts? Giorgia's latest track is Io fra tanti. Another amazing song from this beautiful and talented singer! And finally, I'd love to share My Love by Kovacs. Dark, mysterious, unique and simply fantastic!

NuVidz: Kállay Saunders, Oonagh, Anton Ewald, Vaidas Baumila!

The amazing and super talented András Kállay Saunders achieved 5th place in Copenhagen with "Running" and he has enjoyed lots of success in Hungary since Eurovision. His latest single is entitled Juliet. The video-clip is lovely, and I feel this guy could really become a big star internationally. He's also been flirting with the notion of representing Hungary next year...Oonagh is amazing! Y'all have got to listen to Orome. She's just great and this blogger really loves the video-clip itself, too! Fantastisch! Anton Ewald has recently released This Could Be Something, along with Medina. It's mainstream and generic - not very special. He's already said he has no plans on returning to Melodifestivalen in 2015... but I'm sure his fans will enjoy this song anyway. Finally, Vaidas Baumila has released a laid-back tune entitled Free Love. A feelgood song where the FIFA World Cup is mentioned! This guy should soon represent Lithuania in my opinion.
