Entrants to Eurovision Song Contest 2006 Athens “Feel the Rhythm”

My reviews
Semi-Final 18th May, Final 20th May

Amanbanda (Netherlands) – Treble
Really good song with a cool beat,

I Do (Malta) - Fabrizo Faniello
Love this song defiantly my favourite, really up beat, and easy to sing along to, very important for me!

No No Never (Germany) - Texas Lightening
Really lovely song way better then last years entry, has a lovely country feel to it

Coisas De Nada (Portugal) – Nonstop
Reminds me of Bosnia & Herzegovina entry last year Call Me by Feminum, huge improvement on 2B last year!

Teenage Life (United Kingdom) – Daz Simpson
A song that really shows what’s popular in the UK at the moment, mix of influences with R&B and a bit of rap, the kids singing is really cool

Every Song is a Cry for Love (Ireland) – Brian Kennedy
Here in Ireland we don’t want to win the Eurovision! We need to stop sending ballads. It’s a nice song, but it aint Eurovision material!

Zjarr E Fohte (Albania) – Luiz Ejilli
Excellent song here from Albania. Nice mix of ethnic and modern beats. Really catchy, I hope it does well!

La Coco Dance (Monaco) – Severine Ferrer
A nice feel to this song, not one I’d get up to dance to like!!!

Hard Rock Hallelujah (Finland) – Lordi
Really different song here from the rest! I love it! I doubt it will do well, but its definitely one I’d dance to upstairs in Freakscene!!!

We are the Winners (Lithuania) – LT United
Very strange song that’s proclaims Lithuania the winners of the Eurovision! Very different, but is a song that actively ask you to vote for them goanna win?? One way to find out!

Everything (Greece) – Anna Vissi
One of the favourites for this year, I don’t think is as a patch on the style of “My Number One” not as fast paced. Nice song but a bit of a ballad in the French Tradition

Together We Are One (Israel) – Eddie Butler
Gentle song, with a real sing-along chorus, might not do too well depending on how much politics affects the voting (which does happen btw!!!)

Super Star (Turkey) – A. Sibel Tuzun
Upbeat song with a disco feel, one of my favourites!

Through My Window (Estonia) – Sandra Oxenyrd
Song that reminds me of Busted/McFly variety, not sure if its pop or rock, it has a definite ABBA feel though. Maybe that will help it?

Twist of Love (Denmark) – Sidsel Ben Semmane
There’s always something about Danish songs that I like! And they managed to do it again, with a cool song that really wants you get up and twist. Definitely a favourite of mine!!!

Sense Tu (Andorra) – Jenny
A nice song in French (you’d never have guessed it from the title!). A modern ballad, which mite do well for the principality.

Loca (Moldova) – Arsenium (from o-zone) and Natalia Gordienko
Remember “Dragostena Din Tei” well Arsenium is from that band! So Moldova have a band known across Europe! Woo! Well it’s a really cool song!

Show me Your Love (Ukraine) – Tina Karol
Fast song, but no “Wild Dances” mind you, upbeat and definitely one to dance to!

Il Est Temps (France) – Virginia Pouchin
Another ballad, nice and soulful

Bloody Mary (Spain) – Las Ketchup
Obviously still searching for a follow up to the Las Ketchup Song they decided to enter Eurovision! Gentle and rhythmic song

Never Let You Go (Russia) – Dima Bilan
Defiantly a modern pop song, may do well with voters very nice song, gentle on the ears!

Alvedansen (Norway) – Christine Guldbrandsen
Rhythmic beat that makes you like it the more you listen to it, defiantly growing on me!

If We All Give a Little (Switzerland) – Six4one
Good song that has a real sing-along chorus living up to the true tradition of Eurovision!

Lejla (Bosnia &Herzegovina) – Hari Mata Hari
Slow gentle song full of feeling really nice

Follow my Heart (Poland) – Ich Troje
Upbeat, with lovely singing throughout

Je T’Adore (Belguim) – Kate Ryan
Nice song that is a real pop song in French and English

Why Angels Cry (Cyprus) – Annet Artani
Another ballad, that is nice and sweet.

Moja Stikla (Croatia) – Severina
A song that’s full of energy from the go! A chorus you could really dance to! Definitely a contender!

Mr. Nobody (Slovenia) – Anzej Dezan
Yet another ballad, don’t really like this song

Ninanajna (Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia) – Elena Risteka
A song that reminds me of ‘la la la’ chorus’s but thankfully it only sounds like there saying it!!!

Without Your Love (Armenia) – Andre
Armenia’s first outing in the ESC. Excellent song has a good beat!

Let Me Cry (Bulgaria) – Mariana Popova
Modern pop song that has a nice rhythm and a powerful voice behind it, reminds me of a James Bond Song though don’t know why!

Tornero (Romania) – Mihai Traistariu
Romania again enters a dance song with is excellent as it helps show the diversity of music on the contient! Really cool song

Congratulations (Iceland) – Silvia Night
A favourite of one my friends! Nice song, but not one of mine. Its good, but im not ‘feeling’ it

I Hear You Heart (Latvia) – Vocal Group Cosmos
Latvia enters a song like no others! Cosmos sing unaccompanied. Really cool song by a very talented group. Slightly reminiscence of Queen though!

Invincible (Sweden) – Carola
‘Invincible’ is one if those songs that just will become an anthem of broken hearted women like ‘I will survive’. It starts like a ballad but launches into a powerful pop song with a cool beat!

Mum (Belarus) – Polina Smolava
I just don’t like this song!
