Czech Republic

Debut entry but I think they must have got the wrong idea - it's not essential to sound like last year's winners to wi this competition. It may help and is a good rock number.

Albania

They try very hard and here they come with a good traditional ballad with a violin. One of the better entries but no chance really.

Serbia

A fat Harry Potter girl. Very serious and if it's time for an anthem then this has some nice flutes and it's the most likely winner from the Balkan bloc.

Poland

Pretty girls but the song gets pretty boring, apart from the legs. More modern than most may help it appeal a bit but not that much.

Bulgaria

Lots of drums and anxious Hindi-like with monkey noises that did tend to bring back memories of Ukraine a few years ago. It loses the tune half-way through, though. Will finish up about half-way too.

Croatia

Serious and pretty genuine but it sort of petered out at the end and can't see anyone other than the Eastern bloc voting. Still, there's plenty of them. Unlikely.

Denmark

Boy George revisited. Reasonably good pop and I guess it has a chance.
