Last week, a group of Dutch media representatives who closely follow the Eurovision Song Contest got together and watched the 42 video clips of the songs in this years contest. Afterwards, everybody present could vote for their top 15.

When the individual votes were added up, the song Song #1 by Serebro from Russia turned out to be the favourite amongst the Dutch media representatives. Here is the top 20 of the voting:

1. Russia
2. Georgia
3. Turkey
4. Hungary
5. Serbia
6. Sweden
7. the Netherlands
8. Ukraine
9. Germany
10. Belarus
11. Finland
12. Andorra
13. Switzerland
14. Bosnia & Herzegovina
15. Cyprus
16. France
17. Romania
18. Greece
19. Belgium
20. Bulgaria

Will we meet in Moscow in 2008? Dutch media seems to think so.

@Cyprian
The only reason you cannot see what the fuss is about in the Cyprus song is because you weren't born in the 80's. You are far too young to be able to appreciate it.

THE GRATEST SONGS BELONGS TO
SERBIA (which will be 1st or 2ns) and SWEDEN (alas this song will not place well :( )

There isn't a great amount of hope for the former soviet states this year IMO. The best song is by far the Russian one. If serebro can sing well live then they might have it in the bag.

Until then however... GO SWEDEN!!!

I am sure Cyprus will not be in final. It's not good song. It's one of the most boring. Only countries which speaks french and greece will get to cyprus points. WHAT A FUSS ABOUT?! :/
Surely in final we will see countries which start semifinal performance

They must have done this in one of Amsterdams "cafe's".
Are they serious?

This prediction seems to be more realistic than most of the fan polls.

Yes I forgot to say that the Irish song is not very good either.

@TP:

Bulgaria is a very good entry, one of the best entries of this year and a possible winning song also...Hungary, i think, is the one that we all should forget seeing it in the finals...
And for Russia, forget it, this will be the bigest disaster from all, these three girlies won't be able to present any song live....
possible GOOD winners for me: Malta, Serbia, Bulgaria, Cyprus....possible BAD winner: Ukraine

@sean kehoe:

dream on, mate!! the fat cows period for Ireland have been long gone lost, since he jury voting was replaced by the televoting...i predict: Ireland in the semis in the ESC 2008

Russian songs are always so commercial and always in English ,they sound like they could easily be on any chart in Britain. I wouldn't be surprised if they win this year.

Ireland is crap, bottom 5 without a doubt.

You're the only big upset on the night.

One song every one is writing off or forgetting about........Ireland. something tells me this is going to cause a big upset on the night. I can guarantee a top 10 place for it. It may just cause the biggest upset in eurovision history. Now that eurovision is really kicking in ..only 2 weeks to semi.... the media going to be at hte press conferences etc and Ireland always attracts alot of media attention when it comes to eurovision, and before people start with their anti irish song bashing just think about it...... to much hype over some songs. all thses polls on here are based a tiny tiny section of the entire esc audience. And all this ogae stuff...well its 90% gay members so of course they gonna vote for the kitsch camp entries and the silly euro pop ones. Ireland has a serious well put together mature entry and this will get it points and dare I say it I reckon alot of points from Eastern bloc countries. We wil wait and see but I know its going to be the surprise of the night....nad cold even defy all the odds and clinch the top place.

I think Russia has produced a very stylish pop song - great video, good beat...one problem though! Manufactured songs like this very rarely are able to be reproduced live. Unless these girls have fantastic live voices, I dont see this song doing all that well. (Think Selma and Katie Ryan).

DJ Bobo, although more experienced with live shows, may suffer a similar fate...
