I watched the Danish Melodi Grand Prix live in the city Horsens. It was really exciting, and the atmosphere was INSANE when Lighthouse X (the winner) performed their song. However, I don't think it is a Eurovsion winner, as much as I like it, and I think it will finish around 10-18 in the finale. We would have had a better chance of winning for the 3rd time in Sweden if Anja Nissen or Simone, 2nd and 3rd, had been our entry.
What do you mean, lesser entries? 'A Moment Like This', 'The Way You Are', 'Should've Known Better', all brilliant.

Icebreaker is reaaaaaly good, as is the Hungarian song.
Agree with you, but Afterglow was imo much better, and Laika was cool as well. Without knowing all songs yet (I didn't listened to the Cypriot song and not followed the UK selection) my top 5 are:
1. Iceland
2. Hungary
3. Switzerland
4. Norway
5. Bosnia and Herzegowina

Latvia is making me proud! This was the best national final because international viewers could vote. Of course I voted for Justs 3 times and he won the whole thing! Latvia is on top in my top 5 now.
Changed my mind on all of this songs, there are so many good songs in this years contest.
Armenia are my favourite now then Slovenia and Ukraine then Norway.
With a busy week in Euroland, we now have 36 songs ready for Stockholm in 2 months time. On Saturday we had Russia's song announcement, the Eesti Laul final was held in Estonia, Poland held a choice to choose the worst song available. Also during the week we've already heard the trainwreck that was San Marino, Croatia's comeback and today we saw Australia and Greece reveal their songs and this weekend we'll have Serbia, Lithuania (after 9 weeks), and the extravaganza that is Melodifestivalen: the only NF I actually care about now.
We also found out in the week that 1944 will be performed in it's true form with no tampering from the EBU, so that's good!
My favourite is Germany and the amazing Jamie- Lee Kriewitz, she reminds me of Lena when she won in 2010 and then I quickly fell in love with Lena. The comparisons between her and Lena are unreal, both 18 at the time of the contest and both from Hannover. I think she can win and yeah I have fallen in love with another German singer I can't stop listening to Ghost, my bet is going on Germany to win, its a very popular song too.
So my new top 5 is:
1. Germany
2. Norway
3. Spain
4. Iceland
5. Ukraine
With Latvia and Austria just behind. UK have no chance such a stella line up of songs I now can't see us getting a single point.
Latvia
France
Spain
Iceland
Norway
Russia 
Estonia 
United Kingdom 
Finland 
Hungary 
I can't stop listening to Ghost, my bet is going on Germany to win, its a very popular song too.
