My guess

Talk about being a bad blogger lately. But I just don't have anything interesting to say! I spend my days at kindergarten and really want to enjoy it to the fullest. I only have one week left there so after that I am sure that my blog will be up and running again. Meanwhile, the Eurovision Song Contest is just around the corner so I want to share my favourite songs with you guys. It's always fun to see if the rest of the world agrees with me when the votes comes in. And of course, it's always a bit different seeing the artists perform live. Sometimes they don't make the song justice at all and you get really disapointed.

Ivi Adamou - La la love
This lady has a real chance of winning. I bet that Cyprus will be competing against Sweden for the 1st and 2nd place!

Roman Lob - Standing still 
Germany are competing with a radio hit. I am very weak for these types of songs, but unfortunately don't think that the ESC audience will be very impressed. It's just not the right forum. My prediction is that it'll end up somewhere in the middle when all the votes has been casted.


Compact Disco - Sound of our hearts
After Michael Jackson's "Earth song" it's quite hard making a song about a world in trouble and need without failing completely. But Hungary's song truly grips a hold of you, so hopefully it'll end up in the top 10.


Gaitana - Be my guest
I usually aren't very fond of Donna Summer/Shirley Bassey wannabes. There are just too many ladies out there with great voices, who are wailing more than they sing. I thought this song was a bit messy at first, just too many things going on at once. But Gaitana from Ukraine makes me want to dance! All of that messy stuff just ends up being fun! I am hoping for a spot in the top 10 for this one too.

Buranovskiye Babushki - Party for everybody
Now this is probably the cutest thing that the Eurovision Song Contest has ever seen. Russia will easily be in the top 5 this year. Not only will this song be a summer hit, the performance also brought me to tears the first time I saw it. In the midst of all the glam, glitz and greatness... here stands six old ladies in their old fashioned dresses and shoes made out of straw. And they look so happy.

Loreen - Euphoria
For the first time in years I am sure that Sweden has a really good shot at winning the ESC. We are SO proud of Loreen. Not to mention the fact that she comes from my home town. Haha yeah, of course I have to brag about that. Her dancing, extraordinary singing voice and beautiful lyrics will capture anyone's heart. Sweden usually gets good grades from other countries when it comes to music. But this time people are ecstatic and it would be a real shame if she didn't end up in the top 2.
