Armenia, Poland, Moldova, Lithuania and Iceland all choose their Eurovision entries tonight. On top of that Norway has its 'Siste Sjansen' round ahead of next weekend's final, Sweden hosts the 2nd heat of Melodifestivalen, and Spain is holding a semi-final. It's certainly another Eurotastic night!
First up is Armenia, but, alas, there's no webcast, so we won't be able to follow that show. Then Eurovision fans all across Europe have to start making some tough decisions.
Here at Eurovision Express Headquarters, we'll be starting the evening with a little bit of Moldova, and then switching to Norway, Iceland and finally Spain. We'll somehow try to keep an eye on the other countries too.
Our main hope for this evening is that Iceland chooses the wonderful ballad, Is It True? as its entry. Beyond that we'll be wishing Man Meadow good luck in Poland, although we think that Lidia Kopania has it sewn up with I Don't Want To Leave. That said we do have a sneaking regard for Tigrita Project (below) with Mon Chocolat.
Nothing really stands out amongst the 10 competing songs in Lithuania, but we think Ruta Sciogolevaite and Redemption would probably be the best choice.
The general consensus of fans is that Nelly Ciobanu will win the Moldovan selection with Hora din Moldova, and could start a good a chance in Moscow. Judge for yourself below.
We don't really mind which two songs get through tonight in Norway as we're convinced that Alexander Rybak will win next week with Fairytale.
Finally, Måns Zelmerlöw is back in Melodifestivalen tonight with Hope and Glory, a pretty strong modern schlager song. Our favourite, however, is Cookies'n'Beans with the Dolly Parton-inspired What If.
By the time the Spanish semi-final comes to an end, we'll be Eurovisioned-out!
