I know it is not really important for almost everybody, but to heat things up, here are my favourite as far as "Eurovision" style songs go. To me, these are quite good actually Eurovision-style. I've included the video version (usually better) plus live version as they will sound more like the live version they're doing...

[Gytaz2]

From the first semifinal, my favorite is Bosnia & Herzegovina. Knowing that Balkan countries always get a big boost from their numerous neighbours, I think Bosnians have good chances of winning. Also respect to Finland once again. So many songs with non-English lyrics this year. I like that.

 

[qiangdade2]

Qele Qele...Period

Bosnia was also very nice and i also liked Azerbaijan
But i consider Armenia as the favorite for winning overall.

Azerbaijan was pretty good indeed. Bosnia's one wasn't a song, c'mon...

Go Finland, go...

 

[Gytaz2]

Ok, polls show that Bosnian song is one of the least popular of those, which made it to the final, so I guess I was wrong about their chances.
