Just wait for Joe & Jake. Plus, best thing about the night was MÃ¥ns, this contest is crap in comparison to the others from around the continent: just look at Scandinavia and the Baltics, UK learn a lesson!

Already have my fave Darline, has to be, best song by far
This is already a step normally the public don't have a say the BBC always choose.
Well back in 2007, 2009 and 2010 we choose, but only the artist, the BBC's biggest blunder was picking a big-name artist but a god awful song. The BBC actually look like they're putting money towards this

Not enough, most of the finalists are not good enough only Joe and Jake and Darline are good.

I can't even tell which song that's from. And it's not.
I mean, I was hardly expecting Melodifestivalen, but we were offered two excellent entries that were unique, powerful and generally Eurosuitable, then were given some X-Factor identikit that wouldn't have looked out of place in Latvia.

Ace Wilder's latest MelFest entry 'Don't Worry'
This would fit in quite well in Supernova in Latvia though, but I agree its no standout but on the UK's shitty standards this is an improvement, it was the only one with production and it is retribution for Tom Frantzis in Eurosong!

Probably about 12th I think, I am expecting one of Denmark, Ukraine or Germany to win so far. Germany reminds of Lena a bit in 2010, different to everyone else, young singer relatively unknown, a gamble, I can possibly see it paying off for them. Ukraine's stab at Russia will get them votes and Denmark have a good history when Sweden hosts, they have won on the last two occasions in Sweden latest being Emmelie de Forest in 2013.
I don't think Ukraine's entry will get past the EBU, let alone the voting public. Also, bear in mind that of the 200 million people who watch, only five million or so have actually heard the song before and know its context.

For it to win the national final surely it must have been been cleared by the EBU, now it has been selected people will get to know its context. Jamala actually finished 3rd in the national selection in 2011 behind winner Mika Newton (Finished 4th) that year and Zlata Ognevich who went on to win the national final in 2013 (finished 3rd) so no pressure Jamala.
No, not necessarily. In 2009, Georgia's hip disco anthem 'We Don't Wanna Put In'(see what they did there) was dumped by the EBU after the selection.

will be interesting over the next month then because it is a clear political motivated song but good on them, it was Russia's fault Ukraine didn't have the resources to participate last year.
Its being put to the ESC focus group to see whether they should disqualify it. In my opinion it is on the same level as last year's genocide reminder from Armenia, all they got was a re-name from the rather obvious 'Don't Deny'. 1944 is actually a half decent song, but if she's disqualified: HERE COMES HARDKISS

But there are commentators who explain it, and I can imagine that the topic will maybe even go through the press before the ESC, because of the relationship of Ukraine and Russia
