Eurovision 2016: We Can('t) All Be Heroes

[Finnice]

Melodifestivalen in Sweden finished last night. Frans won.
The song is okay, I guess. A bit boring, though.
It could have been worse

Bada nakna will surely be a hit here on Finland.

 

[Reuven]

San Marino
really this is epic

Mad Eye Moody channels Leonard Cohen!

 

[sweetsparky]

& the best of all
San Marino
really this is epic

LOL, I want this is the SF Spain can vote

I could see Felipe Montoya choosing this for his next LP

I am going to dine tonight with my very big Eurovision fan friends. They so appreciate our FSU poll and always want to know our results.

I hope they have a great time with our results
I can´t wait for the Eurovision FSU poll

Spanish song - Barei´ "Say yay!" - has been released this week. After all the reviews Barei got here cause her "chicken feet" dance in the Spanish final I have to respect they decided to make the official video about that infamous movement. I guess the dance is going to stay. Enjoy Europe

 

[my little pony]

this is cyprus' best entry since i've been representing them in an official capacity (at fsu)

Hovi Star of Israel decided to keep his original song with a new version.

Listened to all the songs (bar Italy) last night for the first time. Don't really have a favourite and do not have a clue who will win. Everything kind of sounded similar.

Thought maybe Ukraine had the most impact, but it's a bit dark for Eurovision?

 

[MarieM]

And I wonder how he'll do "live" IMO.
And I kind of agree. All the songs do sound a tad similar.

Magnus the cat run away when I started to play Serhat's song.
When will the FSU woting start?

Magnus´survival instincts.

I still haven´t listened all songs. I usually try to listen all in the same formart (official videos) before FSU voting cause sometimes live National finals have not the better sound.

 

[allezfred]

When will the FSU woting start?

I guess when enough people ask me nicely to organise it.

How did this not win for Norway! Haha love it

 

[allezfred]

The glamour of being selected to represent your country includes performing to old age pensioners in hot springs.

I know, I was absolutely furious. But later I grew accustomed to Agnete's two-songs-in-one "Icebreaker"...

Croatia still remains my number one, followed by Ukraine, Latvia, Azerbaijan and Israel. And Russia, my guiltiest pleasure this year .
I also agree that most songs are very similar this year. Unbelievable! Where has all the variety gone???
As for Serhat - I really hope he somehow qualifies, just for the lulz .

The only good part of Worlds ending is that it means Eurovision season gets into full swing (well that and not having to see certain programs any more ) I know it's a lot of work to organize, but I always enjoy the FSU poll. I hope you're doing it again, but can understand if you don't want to.

For anyone who wants the Eurovision poll thing to happen - in the words of Ukraine's 2014 entry "Tick, tock....."

 

[Eden]

Count me in as Israel when you start the FSU ESC voting.

 

[sweetsparky]

I certainly would like to vote as Spain/Espagne.

 

[Garden Kitty]

I'd like to participate and can be any country.

 

[Jenya]

I'm in!

 

[wustfan]

I'm in and I'd like to be Greece.

 

[Finnice]

Whee! I am in and can be for example Iceland, if @Hanna is Finland! Thank you dear @allezfred for doing this again!

 

[MarieM]

So any favorites in the bookmakers or not ?
