Romania The Humans Goodbye No comment, please rescue me from comments on this Serbia Sania Ilic & Balkanika Nova Deca When the intro of tortured cats passed this is not at all as bad as Serbia usually enter into the contest (and not only enter they usually also pass to the finals with a little help from their friends, and sometimes even produce the worst winners of the contest ever) San Marino Jessika Feat Jenifer Brening Who we are Say what? 12 from Malta? But the rest of Europe? BUT I want San Marino to go to the final, we don’t want to loose them to as other small countries Denmark Rasmussen Higher ground The Swedish contest producers nightmare. A song never selected for the Swedish selection and was entered in Denmark and won. If Denmark ends up before Sweden in the final result its a thorn in the side if they win o my God… And they might, this is dark and good and Nordic. Russia Julia Samolylova I wont break Poor Julia, a really good ballad last year and Russia and Ukraine politics stopped her from participating and she returns with a mediocre pop tune.
