Malta, as per usual, was one of the first countries to choose their song for the 2015 contest. Amongst tough competition, Amber won the votes and the right to represent Malta for the 60th anniversary of Eurovision. However, this is not Amber’s first Eurovision appearance – Remember the backing singer for Kurt Calleja? Well, that’s…

Lithuania actually did something promising this year. It’s almost inconceivable to think that Lithuania has actually made a proper effort to actually match the song with the artist/s. I remember hearing ‘This Time’ sung by Vaidas alone, and as much as I wanted him to win, it wasn’t as impressive as many of his other…

Today we look at the most successful country in Eurovision history – Ireland. Will they increase their seven wins to eight with 16 year old Molly Sterling? Out of the songs from the National Final, Playing with Numbers was the best song, in my opinion. I think that Molly was definitely one of the better…

I love it when a country returns to Eurovision, the more the merrier, I say! Now Czech Republic aren’t exactly the most successful of all the countries, but this year, I really do feel as if they’ve tried to send something legitimate. Despite their efforts, I’m not hugely impressed (sorry, CZ) The song itself is…

Thinking about this review, I couldn’t help but think about the Serbian national final. I remember watching, and they finished the three songs in record time, and then there was me, thinking they would recap the songs but the recap was just another repeat of their performance! Silly me! Nevertheless, I believe that one of…

Today, we look at a country notorious for singing about peace, Russia. Although the irony of that is overwhelming, let’s take a look at their song for this year. Russia decided quite late on who would represent them, and it came down to Polina Gagarina. I sort of enjoy the song. I enjoy it enough…

Now to Romania, who chose popular band Voltaj as their representatives for Eurovision in the 60th anniversary year. The song, De la Capat references a social issue facing Romanians, namely, parents working in other countries, leaving their children behind, although for good intentions. Before writing this review, I hadn’t really listened to the song as…

Oh Hungary. What have you done!? There were so many great songs in the national final, and yet I’m stuck reviewing this song! Before I give my (brutal) review, I do want to say that I think the song has a great message. Saying that, I still have an opinion on the song itself, and…

Today we look at Georgia, who have chosen this years’ second warrior (if you live under a rock, Malta picked a song called warrior too). Before I discuss which warrior I think is better, let’s first discuss the song on its own. I think the song in its national final days was pretty average. It…

The group Anti Social Media was chosen as the winner of Dansk Melodi Grand Prix, and immediately faced criticism from fans across Europe and beyond. As such, I may be the only one in the Eurovision community to say this, but I LOVE this song. I think this is such a fabulously catchy song, and I…
