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.
As much as the Swedes love Eurovision, and they do, they just don't want to win two years in a row. Look at Robin Stjenberg. Who? Exactly.

Yes, I'm happy a bad song won, because we cannot afford to host the show two years in a row.

Russia's song is fantastic! It is so Eurovision and it gives me flashbacks to 2008 & 2009, my favourite Eurovisions. The song captivates you from the the bells chiming at the start to the crescendo at the end, this song is a winner! It is typical Euro-pop and it sounds just like a Sergey Lazarev song.
Romania have been disqualified from Eurovision 2016! This is due to a large sum of debt not being paid, €14 mil in fact. Here is an explanation of why the country have been disqualified:
