#Fierce Okay… I'm sorry but Ukraine KILLS IT with these pop sex songs. I seriously think people are underestimating this song. It will place top 10 and could potentially place top 5 depending on how the juries see it. It's probably the best Ukrainian entry since Shady Lady. I think this is our UTR surprise for this year
Belgium - Axel Hirsoux - Mother
#SentimentalMess
If he brings his mom on stage for ESC, he will place top 5. It is such a great tribute to mothers and if staged well, could potentially do really well. Great vocals, great lyrics, it's seriously a beautiful piece that will kill with the juries!
Moldova - Cristina Scarlat - Wild Soul
#BalladandDubMixAttemptNumberTwo The difference between this and Armenia, is that she tries to belt through the "dubbish" moments and it doesn’t come off as a good mix as the rough growl that happens with Armenia in those sections. It's a decent song and has potential but I doubt it will do too well.
San Marino - Valentina Monetta - Maybe
#ThirdTimeisACharm I actually think this is stronger than last year's attempt. Was still hoping that she was going to go jazzy on us but she didn't. The only chance she really has this year is if they give her some pity points for not qualifying twice in a row or if they think that this is Azerbaijan because the most memorable lines from Azerbaijan have the word "maybe" that start the line.

We belong to each other like a sister to a brother babe, we are like SUN RAYS! .... + that falsetto... i miss the falsetto :'( (it's been in my top 5 the whole time... just got better) Jacob_96 ... Fritzyyyyy agrees with my statement
Ukraine might get extra points due to the political situation as well, so I agree with your prediction TolisKalkas. :D
I love Belgium though, his voice is amazing! Top 10 for sure, it just depends if the public get behind him like the juries definitely will. :)
I haven't got much to say about Moldova,
I think it is quite bland and would not be surprised if it does not make it through. But saying that, it has a good performance spot, so who knows. :)
See, I totally agree with you, I think this is Valentina's best song by far. I looked at vola last night and it is a mess in my opinion, I'm not sure why it was fan favourite tbh.
I hope she gets through, I think she is better than a lot of the other acts in her group.
