San Marino: 'Chain of Lights' officially presented!

Chain of Lights by Anita Simoncini & Michele Perniola has been officially presented today. Ralph Siegel composed the song. What to say about this one? This blogger defiantly misses Vale but I do wish them the best of luck. Maybe the song will grow on me.. Maybe ;-)

FYR Macedonia: 'Autumn Leaves' revealed!

The official version of the Macedonian entry was released moments ago and can be listened to here. As previously rumoured, it is in English. And it's much slower.. What do you think about Daniel Kajmakoski's effort? I'm a bit undecided but I think I like it. Shame he's not singing in Macedonian though.

Australia: Guy Sebastian reveals 'Tonight Again'!

Australia's entry was released this morning - and it's uptempo! Guy Sebastian will sing Tonight Again in Vienna... The song didn't come from Guy's previous album, as previously stated, but it's a brand new song all together. He only finished the video-clip yesterday. The overall reaction to this has been very positive. A winner? It's very possible...

Russia: 'A Million Voices' presented!

THIS IS STUNNING! Russia's entry for Vienna, A Million Voices, has been revealed this evening. After hearing the snippet earlier this week, I was so looking forward to hearing the full version and Polina Gagarina hasn't disappointed. Listen here <3 If she nails this on the night, we're going to Russia next year. Yep, I really think Mother Russia are gonna take the title... it's fab!! #TeamPolina!

Albania: Elhaida Dani's 'I'm Alive' revealed!

The Albanian entry was presented moments ago. LISTEN HERE! This blogger thinks it's an amazing song... bravo!! :-)

San Marino: A chain of light for Michele and Anita!

San Marino's song will be officially presented tomorrow morning, during the Heads of Delegations meeting. Anita will be the youngest singer in Vienna, she turns 16 next month, and therefore San Marino are sending the youngest duo ever to Eurovision. Their song is entitled A Chain Of Light. Listen to a 40 second snippet here...

UPDATE - Chain Of Lights has been leaked. Valentina's song was also leaked last year before its official release... oppps! Listen to it here. 

ELNUR HÜSEYNOV TO REPRESENT AZERBAIJAN!

Elnur Hüseynov has been internally chosen to represent The Land of Fire in Vienna. The rumours were true! The song he'll be taking to Vienna is Hour Of The Wolf. He represented Azerbaijan in 2008, with Samir Javadzadeh, and placed 8th. Regarding Vienna, he says..
Eurovision 2015 is a great chance to present myself as a solo artist. I believe in my entry song as it has so many powerful messages. It is truly a song with great meaning of which the most important is ‘that every heart deserves a fight’ and we should never give up. We must fight for our happiness and for the better future. I’m going to the Eurovision to share this message with the European audience.
Listen to his entry on Soundcloud here. Thoughts?

Czech Republic: 'Hope Never Dies' video-clip presented!

Who would have thought this time last year that the Czech Republic would return with two of their biggest stars and an awesome song? At first, I was a bit undecided on Marta Jandová, Václav Noid Bárta's entry but after a few listens I think it's pretty amazing. WATCH HERE!

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 ;-)

Moldova: Eduard Romanyuta wants your love!

The official video-clip for Eduard Romanyuta's entry has just been released. I Want Your Love isn't getting much love from the fans so far.. but what do you think? Are Moldova being underrated? It's starting to grow on me a little bit, I guess... Enjoy the video-clip HERE!

MØRLAND & DEBRAH SCARLETT TO REPRESENT NORWAY!

...and Norway opts for Mørland & Debrah Scarlett. Another brilliant choice from the Scandinavians tonight! And so that concludes the national final season. Of course we have some songs yet to be revealed - but this is the last actual show of the 2015 season. I must catch up with the full performances as I was watching Mello tonight :-)



MÅNS ZELMERLÖW TO REPRESENT SWEDEN!

Sweden has selected Måns Zelmerlöw to represent them in Vienna, as expected. Yihuuu! Måns Zelmerlöw won Melodifestivalen with a pretty outstanding 288 points. Once again - Melfest didn't disappoint, amazing show. More to follow....

Special guests included Conchita Wurst and YLVIS, who are no longer singing about foxes but Stonehenge instead.


Måns won over the international juries, as well as the Swedes. Among the spokespersons, there were some familiar names... It's like a mini Eurovision re-union! GOTTA LOVE MELFEST!





Enjoy the Swedish entry below! Are Sweden going to be the ones to beat? I think so..


Switzerland: Is it Mélanie René's time to shine?

Switzerland's official video-clip has been presented. The revamp is very good, it makes the song sound fuller - and Switzerland are defiantly in the mix to qualify now. Enjoy the video-clip below:

Vienna 2015: Super Weekend #8!

It's the last weekend of the 2015 national final season. Sad times! Sweden and Norway will select their entries tonight; and tomorrow the entries from Azerbaijan, Russia and Albania will be presented. San Marino and Australia will follow on Monday....

SWEDEN
It's the night everyone's been waiting for. The grand final of Melodifestivalen 2015! Twelve acts will be figting for the ticket to Vienna but I think it's going to be a three horse race between Måns Zelmerlöw, Eric Saade and Jon Henrik Fjällgren. Maybe. Here's an in depth review of the songs.

  1. Samir & Viktor – Groupie
  2. JTR – Building It Up
  3. Dinah Nah – Make Me (La La La)
  4. Jon-Henrik Fjällgren – Jag Är Fri (Manne Leam Frijje)
  5. Jessica Andersson – Can’t Hurt Me Now
  6. Måns Zelmerlöw – Heroes
  7. Linus Svenning – Forever Starts Today
  8. Isa – Don’t Stop
  9. Magnus Carlsson – Möt Mig I Gamla Stan
  10. Eric Saade – Sting
  11. Mariette – Don’t Stop Believing
  12. Hasse Andersson – Guld Och Gröna Skogar

NORWAY
Let's not forget Norway. MGP will be a one night affair this year, as the semi finals have been scrapped. I think Mørland & Debrah Scarlett will win. Their ballad is very strong and proving to be the favourite with the bookies. My first choice would be Alexandra Joner though. Her song is great fun. I also like Erlend Bratland and Staysman & Lazz. Is a well-done pizza on the menu for Norway tonight?

....AND ON SUNDAY?
Reports say Elnur Hüseynov will represent The Land of Fire - but nothing is official yet. We'll know Azerbaijan's representative and song tomorrow.. I expect great things from them! Elsewhere, Elhaida Dani's I'm Alive will be presented. And if that wasn't enough, the Russian entry is also going to be revealed..

THE MAKEMAKES TO REPRESENT AUSTRIA!

The Makemakes have been won Austria's national final and will therefore represent Austria.. in Austria! The best song did win in a very mediocre national final. They were in the superfinal with Dawa...

Austria: National final tonight!

It's Austria's turn to select their song tonight. Johann Sebastian Bass is something you would expect from Austria and not in a good way. Yikes! I hope they don't opt for this. I personally really like Zoe's effort but why is she singing in French? I have no idea. The Makemakers will probably win though..

  • Dawa - Feel alive
  • Johan Sebastian Bass - Absolutio
  • Celina Ann - Utopia
  • The Makemakes - I am yours
  • Zoe - Quel filou
  • Folkshilfe - Who are you
