I love Daniel, and his song the only problem i see is too many male singers in this year, i would have prefered Anabel Conde, her song is fantastic and her voice is still amazing.
Marcelo,
yes, I know but I'd like to watch the whole thing again..I like re-watching finals when my favourite wins in the end (it happens so rarely..lol).
Mina,
A friend captured the performances (I should not be saying this) -not the whole broadcast, however. And you can find them on YT, anyway 
Alvaro,
wait until May 29 before you start feeling sorry for Spain as I'm sure this will be in the top 10.
this song is crap..... bottom this year... sorry for SPain. 
_::_:: Georgia what a level.. anyone heard the choices...
Marcelo,
where did you watch it again??
I had the strength to watch the Spanish NF again just an hour ago.
I must say, with a heavy heart, and having listened to the songs a zillion times, that out of the 9 performances + 1 outrageous scandal in the gala Daniel's was by far the cleanest, sharpest and most adequate. The vocals were fantastic, the staging OK+, and, sadly, some of the other really good contenders were lackluster to say the least. Conde looked aggrieved and barely managed to get through the song; Ainhoa was all but a complete shame, and Lorena did great but the song... well, we know it was childish.
Coral will go doen to history as the great performer who took an enormous ballad, almost an above-ESC candidate IMHO.
@ desire slanes:
I hope so. That would be great. Spain in Top 5!
Mina X... Daniel will be one of the best in 29 may nigth,,, the production team are working with the song... and they are with te ideas of videoclip.... Daniel will be a big contender for sure!!!!
Things are looking very gloomy here. A part of the lyrics of all our songs leaked
The only thing that comforts me is that Spain also started with problems with the online selection but ended up with a beautiful song.
@ Mina X:
Eric is just my tip, not my favourite. 
My favourites would be Salem and Darin. Pauline if she gets the ticket in andra chansen and maybe Ola. Oh, and Sibel if she gives a good performance and makes it to the final aswell.
I only like POS in this year's MF, which is the weakest since I began following MF in 2006 imo. I guess that in the end they will send something that ends around 25th place on my list. They usually do!
unfortunately, although MF is usually my fave NF I don't have a clear favourite this year. at all. Pernila's classic schlager is my fave but it stands no chance. Oh, I guess that Timoteij are very nice! and I love swedish so I guess from those who have qualified Timoteij . Ola's Natalie is nice too.
Eric? Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww 
Oh yes. Salem for Sweden would be great. But I think Eric Saade will made it.
Who do you want Sweden to send???
If they do - I can honestly say both fave esc nations have failed me. these are my top 2 esc countries of all times...Salem's song is nice and unique but it doesn't wow me.
If they send Salem, my top 2 favourites will both have curly hair.
lol
Salem is Charlotte P's favourite as well, ofcourse right after her best friend, Pernila
Sing my song in Georgia and Lovestoned in MF.
But Salem is my big favourite in Sweden 
Truce! any favourites on the georgian NF? and in the 4th semi of MF?
Mine are 'sing my song' and 'Shine'
in MF - Pernila and lovestoned (Gison you have rocked my world this year ) but yeah, I know it's Jobak to Globen
Charlotte,
sorry, must be my Greek humour that you don't get. I'm stopping. Truce
HAHAHA @ the apron. I don't have an apron and you do!
Mina, you should seriously stop it. My arguement had sufficient proof, togravus agreed with me as well. I will accept any result in esc whether I like it or not. I think that the jury's 50% are in place because I didn't like the block votes and immigrants who left very few chances to western countries, that is until last year. Now as I allready said, especially in such a poor year,
it's anybody's game. Stop patronizing and insulting me. Neither one of the others used your tone, even if they agreed with you. it's very unpleasent to me.
Mina
I don't need any books! But I will bring my pots and pans, my apron etc.
Perhaps I should try a mid-sized country like Portugal, Sweden, Greece or the Czech Republic ....???
Greece..and bring your cooking books with you
Charlotte
I think it is quite natural to long for what you don't have in everyday life. I lived on Malta for a year, but that became far too intimate after some time. Everyone, absolutely everyone on the island seemd to know what you had done the night before (not that I do terrible things a lot, but still ...) Perhaps I should try a mid-sized country like Portugal, Sweden, Greece or the Czech Republic ....???
