The participants:
https://eurovision.tv/participantsSome of my favourites so far:
Moldova: Always a good showing, this year Sunstroke Project is back with Epic Sax guy and Epic Violin guy...
Sweden: Robin Bengtsson - I Can't Go On
Robin seems to be trying to channel his inner Justin Timberlake while ripping off the original OK Go music video...
OK Go for comparison:
Italy: Francesco Gabbani - Occidentali's Karma
Typical European quirkiness, catchy tune though.
Montenegro: Slavko Kalezić - Space
We're reaching levels of European Weirdness that shouldn't even be possible!
Australia: Isaiah - Don't Come Easy
This guy needs to choose a more subtle shade of lip gloss, but damn I like this song. Sadly the quirky ones rarely win, so I'd say this one has a pretty good shot of winning.
Who's your favourite? How badly will England do this year? What Non-European nation will be next to join?!
