Who would I choose to Qualify
Malta – Destiny
A grower and definitely one o Malta’s bets entires. I know Destiny from Junior Eurovision and was. A surprise winner for me. Definitely a good song.
Lithuania – The Roop
Entertaining and quirky and old have done well with both juries and the televising. It’s just something different I love the song.
Israel – Eden Alene
Eden is a great singer and is celebrating her roots with this song and this probably would have been performed better at Eurovision as she had to create 4 routines for one show so this would have been better.
Romania – Roxen
Roxen’s Song was definitely a favourite to win this completion and I just love the tale and she does have issues on er pronunciation but it’s still a good song.
Russia – Little Big
Uno jus a fun song with memorable dance moves that would appeal to the televoters and I actually think this song would have done well. It mixes serious with comedy.
Sweden – The Mamas
Definatley agood gospel song and three amazing voices. I think the tlevoti might give them more love tha. The last two hears as they weren’t’ going to hange their Melodifdstvalen changing.
Azerbajan – Efdeni
I love a song that can be anthems for women everywhere and this is a song that had final quality.
Australia – Montaigne
I wasn’t a fan at first but this song kind f gigs on me and appeals to me on many occasions. I wasn’t a fan of stage at AUSTRALIA DECIDS but Montaigne has a amazing voice.
Norway – Ulrikke
Attention isn’t my favourite but I respect the song and Ulrikke has a great voice. I think this would have qualified.
Cyprus – Sandro
I think at the contest, he would would have slated with his staging. People have p;aced it out. This would have been a borderline qualifier in the actual contest but I love it enough to be my last qualifiers
Acts Out
Croatia – Damir Kedžo
This is borderline as well but I think for me, it just misses out but I respect it and sad we won’t see his ideas ons atbe as the looked intriguing.
Ireland – Lesley Roy
Another borderline qualifier because this would be ave fighting for one of the last spots but I knew Ireland will struggle with the televoting as they did last year so that’s why I don’t think it could qualify for me.
Belgium – Hoooverphonic
Just like Sennek, a James Bond themed anthem butI have a feeling it would have struggled to qualify.
Macedonia – Vasil
Love Vasil’s song but i think it would have struggled to qualify.
Belarus – VAL
Uptempo, I love they were taking a risk but i think there is something about the staging that would have probably would not have helped it stand a chance to qualify
Slovenia – Ana Solkic
Ana has a great voice and Voda is a beautiful song but I don’t think her staging would have given her a good impact.
Ukraine – Go-A
I think this is a divisive aong and its taking a risk going back to this roots but I am just not feeling the song but I respect it.

Who would I choose to Qualify
Bulgaria – VICTORIA
Bulgaira return with a song that relates to me and it’s just a beautiful song.
Austria – Vincent Bueno
Love Vincent, love the song. Definitely one of my favourite Austria entries
Greece- Stefania
I love this song and Stefania. I think this might have struggled in the actual contest cause it’s been compared as a Junior Eurovision entry.
Iceland – Daði og Gagnamagnið
Quirky, definitely a favourite to win the contest, its to my favourite but it would have definitely competed to get Iceland’s best result
Switzerland- Gjon’s Tears
Not my favourite but I still respect and get the hype but this waa a fiakit.
Denmark – Ben and Tan
Ben and Tan are enjoyable, I would love to have seen Tan do more of a solo but it’s still a good song for Denmark.
Armenia – Athena Manoukian
I love Athena’s sassiness in the song, it works well.
Serbia – Hurricane
I love this song but I still prefer the original version over the revamped version.
Poland – Alicja
Modern message and works well as a song.
Latvia – Samantha Tina
Its experimental and showing women in a different way. I think the vocals would have improved from Supernova
Acts Out
San Marino – Serhat
I love this song and it celebrates diversity but it’s just misses out in my Top 10. I personal have a feeling it might have missed out.
Estonia – Uku Suukviste
I love the song but i think it probably wouldn’t have done enough to go through in the actual contest.
Finaland – Aksel
Lovely voice BUT I don’t think it would have completed for a spot in the finale.
Portugal – Elisa
Elisa has a great song ut I don’t honk it’s strong enough for a place in the finale
Albania – Arilena Ara
I prefer Shaj but I do like the song but it could struggle in the cmeption.
Moldova – Natalia Gordinenko
I love the power but it’s a tough semifinal for me but i think there are more song I prefer but could have a chance in the real completion.
Georgia- Tornike Kiphani
I respect Tornike’s style but it’s not my kind of music I would put through to thrfinale but I think he could have a had a chance in the actual contest.
Czech Republic – Benny Cristo
It’s ok but wit all the revamps, I do’t know if it would struggle to qualify.
Final (16th May)
Here are the 6 AUTOMATIC FINALISTS
Netherlands – Jeangu Macrooy – “Grow“- English
I love Jeangu’s vocal and find it a great song. He would have performed 23rd in the finale
France – Tom Leeb – “Mon alliée (The Best in Me)” – French, English
It’s ok but I think it could have been better.
Germany – Ben Dolic – “Violent Thing” – English
Great voice and a good pop song.
Italy – Diodato – “Fai rumore” – Italian
Another good entry, not my favourite it cup of tea but I think it could have done well in the contest.
Spain – Blas Cantó – “Universo” – Spanish
It’s ok but I am not a big fan of it.
Th United Kingdom – James Newman – “My Last Breath” – English
My native country has a good song. It’s not my cup of tea but it certainly would not be last after the effort they’ve put into it;
