The Next Six Entries from the Second Eurovision Semi-Final
Ukraine: "Be My Guest" by Gaitana
I'm digging the 1990s power dance diva thing, but how did she get the X-Men as background dancers?
Bulgaria: "Love Unlimited" by Sofi Marinova
More disco, but a decent little dance tune. I like the music video portion, but the stage show is boring. I have to wonder what the real performance will look like.
Slovenia: "Verjamem" by Eva Boto
Another power ballad reminiscent of Serbia's entry in 2007, boring, but it could win.
Croatia: "Nebo" by Nana Badric
Like Bulgaria, great video, but what will it look like on stage?
Sweden: "Euphoria" by Loreen
Slow build, powerful voice, but turns frequently into house music. Could be a contender.
Georgia: "I'm a Joker" by Anri Jokhadze
Guilty pleasure here, it is sooo Eurovision. Where else in the world could you rhyme 'joker' with 'rocker' and do your worst Taco imitation at the same time? I love it.
The Second Semi-Final takes place on May 24th in Baku.
