Odmah se setim kvala za EP 2013

Duo isn't a dispregative

Mixed events finally starts In recurve China was eliminated after a very poor performance (35 - 34 - 35) by France... it was a big debacle. What shock for Nespoli-Andreoli, eliminated by a Mexican duo The most interessing match was won by Kumari and Das, two amazing archer, that defeat the russian Baldanov and Perova No big surprise in compound, maybe only Turkey that was defeated by Mexico.

Zato sto su odvratni poltroni, kod njih to najvise bode oci

NZ votes are in. It was a see-saw who is gonna get 11 and 10 points. I like a lot both songs. Decided to award higher points to the song I heard for the first time here. The second one I already knew. Good luck everyone

People in Portugal say that he is going to be a great goalkepper, there was already a lot of expectation, and he sound actually quite good! (he made that horrible mistake but come on, he is 18 years old, playing against one of the top teams in the world in the best competition in the world). I am not a Benfica fan, but I think they did a great purchase with this kid, looking forward to see him playing this weekend

Really nice national anthem you have, Bulgaria

I totally agree with you, although I recognize that different people see different goals for this contest I actually see this contest as a way of showing what I think are the best singers/bands/musicians from my country, in all different music genres. They might not be the most popular/winning choice, but if I get at least one person here that gets interested in portuguese music, I will have achieved my goal!

Some interesting info: The PC2018 organizing committee has an internal list of countries that have confirmed participation (granted not all will qualify). These ones are on the list (even though they are not in any of the above): Guatemala American Samoa Haiti (I forgot this one on my list above) I wonder what the first two will compete in ? This might be just declaring interest in competing... but their names are in the planning this late. Interesting. Also not on the list are: Puerto Rico Algeria So I doubt they will compete in 2018, similar to how they refused in 2014. Also not on the list are: Dominican Republic Egypt Jordan Vietnam Indonesia (Might be because they started the process late).

Please, don't get angry but I have to point out a mistake that I see you are making often: the correct spelling is "with". Yes, I couldn't live without telling you that, sorry

That might be true, but when i decided to participate, i also decided that i will only consider german-language songs. If everyone picks english songs, this competition makes no sense in my opinion. I also could have picked songs by Robin Schulz, Felix Jaehn, Zedd and so on ... but then this competition comes just down to "who wins" and i then i wouldnt be interested in it anymore, i think the aim should be to pick: - lesser know artists from your home country that most foreign/non-german people would otherwise never hear of - songs in the country's own language, because language is the key to understand other cultures and maybe some people will see that german can be a very nice-sounding language too For example, this used to be one of my favorite songs when i was young and i still like it, but how exactly does it "represent" Germany? It could be from artists from any other country and you wouldn't hear the difference, so what is the point of entering it as a german song in a competition ... ? I also could have picked this song, but it would have been the same problem ...

British votes have been sent! I had a top 4 that I've really struggled to rank from 12-9, all of them have been added to my playlist. This was probably the toughest vote I've ever had to make in the contest.
