Sorry about the delay in replying...had computer problems ...in that they both decided to 'blow up' at the same time, sorted now though.
Yep, for the very first time I've been listening to the songs before the actual nights of the contest. I agree about the ballads bit but to be honest whilst I thought last year was probably the best yet in terms of how good the best ones were and that there were so many of those I find this year is possibly the best overall in terms of I haven't found a song that I just can't listen to again. I know stuff grows on you but even so there are some of last years that I just skip on the CD even now.
I can even listen to the Nethelands entry which I think is wonderfully hideous (or is that hidiously wonderful!!). First time I heard it I was transported back to the early 70s!!! Lol Boy the Dutch really know how to have fun, for sure!!
My top two are Tom Dice for Belgium and Lena for Germany with Me and My Guitar being my favourite...it just hits the parts the other beers just can't reach!! Loool. I also like the Estonian, Lithuanian, Cypriot and Belarussian entries in particular. The Moldovan entry is quite good especially the sax solo which I think is brill. Turkeys entry is pretty good, the video is quite cool and the Azerbaijan entry is the sort of girls song that could even be commercially successful over here. Disappointed though that Romania didn't chose Lay Me Down by Zero for their entry.
Hope things are good in your world :)

Good luck tonight in selecting the Spanish Song. From what I have read the Spanish public will be supporting Coral - she is wonderful - but I would like to see Anabel Conde or Daniel Ditges in Oslo. Both of them could win!!!
Enjoy tonight
Cheers
Gary
Reply from RODRIGO:
Hi Gary,On the whole, I think it was a good show yesterday night. I have to say that Diges was not my favourite song but it was the best acting together with Coral, Anabel Conde and Lorena and, after watching it, I thought he would be the winner - in fact, I voted for him! Maybe it's our best chance to get a decent place in Oslo, at least it's a classy song sung with a good voice and with a touch of originality. Thanks for your comments. What about the Irish selection?
:)
By Gary Gary
I am so looking forward to the SPanis final - I actually like all the songs except for John Cobra. My favourites are Anabel Conde (AMAZING) and Daniel Ditges but I believe that Coral is the favourite - a good song too but Anabel and Daniel would be my choices. Happy voting on Monday
Cheers
Garrett

Yeah, the list is huge!!!! Would have been simpler to state the ones I didn’t like!!!:DD Thing is I’ve left out quite a few !!!. If it sounds good, then it’s good.
See that you’re looking for a job and accommodation in the Bath/ Bristol area? What’s the ‘score’ there, if you don’t mind me asking? Unfortunately I live quite away from there so can’t help. Hope you get it ‘sorted’.
Regards

I see that we both like Amina's 1991 entry. I rank it as my all time best. Every time I play it, it sends shivers down my spine.
By Kjell Hasthi
I can see that you have chosen some of my favourite Norwegian entries aswell :)
In addition to the ones you've mentioned I also like Alltid Sommer from 1998, Visjoner from 1992, For vår jord from 1988, Adieu from 1982, Touch my life with summer from 1975 and of course the first song Norway ever had, Voi Voi from 1960.
My favourite one among all the Norwegian entries would be Nocturne.
I agree with you that it is nice to hear the songs sung in local languages. I always tend to like the balkan songs that are sung in i.e. Croation or Serbian.
Among the Spanish entries I would like to mention I love you mi vida from 2007, Dime from 2003, Vuelve conmigo from 1995, Bailar pegados from 1991, Bandido from 1990, Y solo tu from 1981, Su cancion from 1979, Eres tu from 1973 and of course the entry sung by wonderful Salome in 1969.
Among all these I would say that Eres tu is my favourite with Bandido, Y solo tu and Su cancion as hot runner ups :)
There is just something special about this contest and the different kind of music and languages mixed that makes you addicted... hehe..
Wishing you a nice day from Oslo.

I too think that Iceland was the best, and I'm really disappointed on how things went for Spain. Yet, I did like Norway, and I loved Estonia too. Oh, and the UK and France were impressive. I also loved Malta and Sweden, but it's impossible to see all of your favorites on the top of the scoreboard.
Well, here's my email, to keep in touch: rodras29@hotmail.com
Saludos!!

On the other hand I actually did like Ukraine (I thought I'd hate it), but I would have left Lithuania out, the song is so boring, and going nowhere!!!
After all, I stick with Iceland, Spain and France, and hope and pray that it won't be Norway!!!
By Pierric Ouvrard
Muchas gracias para añadirme a tus amigos del Concurso. Me gustarìa también que España se coloca en el TOP 5 !!!
A bientôt
Reply from RODRIGO:
Salut Pierric.Merci per ton comment! Excusez moi, mais je ne parlais pas beaucoup de Français. Tu parlais très bien l'espagnol!
¡Tu español es bueno!
Francia tiene una buena canción, mejor que en los últimos años. Pero el nivel este año está bastante alto.
¡Mucha suerte en la final!
A bientot / Hasta pronto

E força Espanha!
Reply from RODRIGO:
Boas noites Miguel,Gustóme moito da actuação de Portugal na primeira semifinal. E também a de Vania Fernandes no ano passado. Sorte na final, espero que Espanha e Portugal fiquem entre os 10 primeiros, ainda que está un pouco difícil. Saúdos, Rodri.
By Rodrigo Romero
Gracias por tu comentario (aunque no entendí por qué me lo pusiste en inglés jaja).
Pues mira, yo en mis predicciones tenía a Suiza, y de verdad esperaba que pasara, pero la presentación me pareció bastante mediocre... así que no sé, creo que fuera de Andorra-Rumania yo no tengo quejas.¨
Cómo ves la segunda semi?
Reply from RODRIGO:
Hola Rodrigo!Pues...jajaja.. la verdad no sé por qué escribí en inglés pero ni me dí cuenta, como por aquí es lo más normal... Aunque la segunda semi en conjunto promete ser interesante creo que tiene a menos candidatos para el top 10 de la final, sólo veo a Noruega,Grecia y Azerbaiyan como claros aspirantes. Ahora escribiré alguna cosa por aquí al respecto.
¿Cómo lo ves tú?
Por cierto, enhorabuena por tu inglés y por tu forma de redactar. Saludos, hasta pronto.
El otro Rodri :)
