My updated top 35.
-
Iceland (a funky & happy song.
Iceland tries this year something different and not with negative consequenses; I really love this song!)
-
Slovenia (wow! The flute, the rhythm of the song, the singer...
Slovenia got from
2010 always bottom places in my personal tops but this is a very other side of music from
Slovenia!)
-
France (very catchy! As it seems now,
France will be for the 3rd time in a row in my top 15.
)
4th -
Denmark (much better entry for the host country then the one of last year.
Happy song.
)
5th -
Armenia (I can't help it that I love this lol. He has a beautiful voice and this is a great mix of a lot of different things in music!)
6th -
Italy (I love this kind of style of music.
The song has been sung in a nice language and I just really like the rhytm. Well done
Italy!)
7th -
Moldova (Oh I really love this kind of songs. < 3 Great lyrics, great rhythm, great voice...
Moldova pleases me this year.
)
8th -
Ukraine (great, powerful song!
Ukraine can stay high this year in my top.
)
9th -
Montenegro (again an interesting entry from
Montenegro this year. Last year was a little bit disappointing but this year
Montenegro has a beautiful Balkan ballad!)
10th -
Hungary (I would be very pleased if
Hungary can stay with their success from last year
)
11th -
Switzerland (
Switzerland didn't disappoint me so far in this decenium.
It's not as great as
Heilsarmee but it's lovely as well.
)
12th -
Finland (cool rock from
Finland, although I didn't really like the live performance but they can work on that! The fact the country of rock sent finally again a rock song is a really cool idea.
So I wish
Finland good luck in
Copenhagen.)
13th -
Ireland (I really love the
Celtic influences in this song.
)
14th -
United Kingdom (The
United Kingdom sends a beautiful lady.
Love her voice and it's a cool song!)
15th -
Estonia (It's a little bit difficult for me to give an opinion about this song.
I like it at this moment and the music is cool. An OK entry from
Estonia.)
16th -
Albania (The new version is much better! Some cool rock parts as well. Thank you
Albania!
)
17th -
Belarus (this song makes me feel better! It's just a happy song and catchy as well.
)
18th -
Germany (good instruments in this song.
The voice of the leadsinger and the lyrics as well aren't that great for me though.)
19th -
Portugal (finally some happiness from
Portugal.
The previous
Portuguese entries weren't really my taste so I'm already happy they've choosen something more Mediterran style.
)
20th -
Latvia (it's an original song but a kind of typical too...
)
21st -
Romania (the return of
Paula Seling &
OVI.
well yeah it's a cool song and I'm sure it'll do well in
Copenhagen.
)
22th -
Spain (lovely singer! However.. the lyrics of this song are just too soft and maybe a kind of childish. I get some chills if I imagine the sentence "we're dancing in the rain"
)
23th -
Greece (well yeah
Greece was doing very well in my personal tops in the previous 2 years but this year I can't really like
Greece that much.
Maybe later.
)
24th -
Sweden (The first part is a little bit boring. Later the song sounds more interesting but I personally think
Sweden could've chosen something better with a big music industry like the
Swedish one then this.
)
25th -
San Marino (The places of
San Marino since
Valentina Monetta is taking part for
San Marino:
2012; 25th.
2013;
3rd.
2014; 25th (so far).
I think she could do better.
)
26th -
Norway (I think he's singing about something beautiful but I don't really like this kind of calm songs...
)
27th -
Poland (too much screaming - not really my style of music.)
28th -
The Netherlands (my home country this year. It's a pity for me to see something like this after a little masterpiece in
2013. We will need a miracle to qualify once again for the final and I don't expect that miracle this year.)
29th -
Malta (very monotone...
)
30th -
Georgia (too weird, I'm sorry
Georgia)
31th -
Belgium (a very high voice... could be something interesting but personally this one isn't that special for me.)
32th -
Azerbaijan (nope... nothing for me.)
33th -
Lithuania (what a bad
English lol. Just a senseless and irritating song. Disappointed of
Lithuania this year.
)
34th -
Macedonia (Balkan Pop if you ask me - something I don't like. Maybe
Macedonia should try something more modern like
Hungary..?
)
35th -
Israel (lol what's this!? Stupid topic for a song and I get nervous of her voice.)
I'm watching the Eurovision Song Contest since
2011 and I'm a huge fan of it since
2012 and I think I can say without any uncertainties this is the best ESC-year I've experienced so far.
