Belarus, again! Israel, Macedonia and Bulgaria.

Belarus, again, presumably for keeps this time, unless Alyona Lanskaya starts a revolution and overthrows the president.

Actually, this is a better song than the first song chosen. So, er.... democracy blows? Never let the people choose, they make bad choices. See, this song fucks with your political morality!

Israel. Now, they can't be bothered with those damn voting processes at all. No overlong national finals, no ridiculous voting processes. Just screw-you-people-we-don't-care-what-you-want internal selections.

And I like this. It's quirky, indie, cheery and cute. Israel are also screwing with your political morality in Eurovision. Let's move on quickly before someone mentions Palestine... quickly

Macedonia. More internal selections. Macedonia doesn't care. Who do you think they are? Greece? NO SERIOUSLY! Do you think they're GREECE? 

Oh, it's another song where they start out as a piano ballad and then BOOM it's gone, and it changes into something else. They're bucksfizzing instruments a lot in Eurovision in this year's finals.Seriously, that is getting so old! I am now suspicion of all pianos in Eurovision performances, alongside two-piece outfits. This song was going fine until that happened.

Bulgaria: Oh, Bulgaria, you started out so well. What's happened? This one? It's called Love Unlimited which makes me think of 2 Unlimited, who are a Eurovision entry that never was. That similarity seems appropriate, since Bulgaria's entry is equally short on lyrics, and has opted to get around that by... singing it in lots of different languages. I cannot decide if I find that bad, bad in a good way, or awesome. At the moment, I'm thinking just bad, and LAZY! Anyone can google translate i love you into different languages! Seriously, write some lyrics!

And this was the result of a public vote. Oh dear, democracy is not having a good show here.
