GREECE: Argo - Utopian Land
Yesterday the Hellenic Broadcasting Corporation ERT presented to the Greek audience, their entry for the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest. The band Argo and their song Utopian Land was officially presented for the first time to the press and audience and ERT then aired the official video for the song. The song Utopian Land has been composed and written by the leader of the band, Vladimiros Sofianidis. The song is about a journey and a path to a destination that dawns. We leave from where it is dusk and we travel to a bright sun! The song invites people around the world to follow and take part in the dream, which requires effort and perseverance. This is the message, noting the lyric phrase: "join with us, for a utopian land". Their song is about people coming together to find their land of utopia.

Have downloaded all available entries so far. Will hear all of them for the first time hopefully on Monday (except for the UK entry as I watched the national final). Any favourites to listen out for? Any humdingers? Looking forward to some opinions. :cheers:

Frans won the finale of Melodifestivalen in Stockholm, Sweden, tonight.
He's a 17 years old, cuter than the proverbial button and actually the second youngest winner ever! The youngest was Carola Häggqvist in 1983.
So Frans is cuter than candy, his song is simple but catchy and his performance was in my opinion very convincing!

SWEDEN: Frans - If I Were Sorry
Thanks for reporting live from Sweden.
It was a fabulous show from Stockholm last night when the final of Melodifestivalen 2016, the national final of Sweden for the Eurovision Song Contest, was broadcast by SVT from Friends Arena. After a six-show-tour around the country the winner turned out to be Frans with the song If I Were Sorry and will represent Sweden in Sweden in May. Frans, born in Ystad, is best known for his football anthems with Elias including the 2006 hit "Who's da Man" dedicated to Swedish footballer Zlatan Ibrahimović. The song credited to the band Elias featuring vocals by Frans stayed at the top of Sverigetopplistan, the official Swedish Singles Chart, for 13 weeks.

AZERBAIJAN: Samra - Miracle
Earlier this week, the 21-year-old singer Samra has beeen announced as the Azerbaijani representative in the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest. Today, Samra presents her entry for Stockholm. Miracle was selected among more than 400 entries submitted to Azerbaijani broadcaster ITV. ''Though this song is a story of a painful break-up, it's not a ballad as one may think. For me it's the anthem of a strong and brave girl. I hope it can inspire those who lost their love to take the right decision and move on. May this becomes a real Miracle for me!'', tells Samra.

A lot of bad songs this year IMHO.
At least we'll have a lot of male eye candy :blushing: (Freddie, Amir, etc).
My favorite so far is France's song "J'ai Cherché".
Poland's representative is in another league :rofl: check this out:
And yeah, I don't know who thought San Marino's song would be taken seriously, and that video, WOW!!!)))

Agree!
And Donny, and Frans, and...Oh yeah, the list is long!
Best song of the Big 5 countries! No doubt. After many years France wont be in the bottom 10 or 5!
My fav is Latvia.
I actually like it more and more with every listen.
And yeah, I don't know who thought San Marino's song would be taken seriously, and that video, WOW!!!
I'm sure this is a joke and the real song will follow in the next days. :rofl:

BULGARIA: Poli Genova - If Love Was A Crime
Yesterday the video of If Love Was A Crime, the Bulgarian entry in the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest, has been premiered on Youtube. It is being sung by Poli Genova, who already represented Bulgaria in 2011. Five years later she is back with a catchy and summery tune. If Love Was A Crime was created as an international and radio-friendly production. The song is about the courage of people who dare to love and are ready to fight for their feelings no matter the cir
stances and the public opinion.
