The one I liked the best and voted for pulled through and will represent Estonia. He has some kind of a James Bond'ish style.

I can't even say this song is mediocre. It's got nothing going for it.

I'm watching Melodifestivalen this weekend hahaha. I hope it'd be as funny as the German one.

Will Russia finally didn't send a ballad about world peace, it doesn't sound very original and a bit cheesy, but it's good considering it's eurovision. I think it will definitely make the top 5. From the video it seems that they will have a strong presentation and depending on the wow factor might even win.

Yoh Improb, check this out.
I found the inspiration for Italy's song.

Spoiler
The car beeping on the background just adds to the tragedy of the whole thing.
Enjoy the sounds of Spain.
Spoiler
Enjoy the (lack of) silence.

All I ever wanted [Beep] all I ever needed is here, in my steering wheel. [beep beep]
Spoiler
P.S.: This song idea seemed really funny in my head.

Some other participating songs. The most of them has already been officially confirmed at this point.
I will try to don't post the same song twice, but at this point it is a little bit difficult to compare all the posts of this threads.

- Croatia: Nina Kraljić with "Lighthouse"



- Greece: Argo with "Utopian Land"



- Netherlands: Douwe Bob with "Slow Down"



- San Marino: Serhat with "I Didn't Know"



Don't ask me why the people from San Marino preferred to ask a Turkish singer to represent them...

- Azerbaijan: Samra with "Miracle"

I can't find it on youtube

- Czech Republic English: Gabriela Gunčíková with "I Stand"



- Montenegro: Highway with "The Real Thing"



- Australia: Dami Im with "Sound of Silence"



- Israel: Hovi Star with "Made of Stars"



- Macedonia: Kaliopi with "Dona" (Дона)



- Poland: Michał Szpak with "Color of Your Life"



- Serbia: Sanja Vučić ZAA with "Goodbye"

Can't find it neither

- Romania: Ovidiu Anton with "Moment of Silence"




Countries which songs have not been confirmed yet:
Sweden (to be announced tonight)
Lithuania (to be announced tonight)
Malta (to be announced March 17th)
Bulgaria (to be announced within the end of the month)

And, of course,

Italy (to be announced within the end of the month).

The song is as monotonous as one can get. I swear we are capable of more upbeat songs but this time we've just decided to make everyone fall asleep so we can just directly steal the trophy or rig the votes

I thought it was already decided that it would be Francesca Michielin. Can we not just send the Elii for comedy value, we won't win anyway

There are several weak songs. Outside of the pure pop ones, only I Stand and Sound of Silence are somewhat decent. I enjoyted Russia's, Estonia's, Norway's and Finland's picks instead

They have decided the singer, but not confirmed the song yet.
I'm quite sure than the song will be the one from Sanremo, maybe they are just working on and "editing" (they have to make it shorter, and they can still decide to translate some parts of it).

Can they just translate the whole song or come up with something fresher. I think that we'll fare worse than we did back when we sent Emma with La Mia Citta.
