My 2015 Eurovision Song Contest favorites.

Hello everyone,

this post will just be a quick catch up about my 2015 Eurovision Song Contest favourites.

These days I am going to sleep and waking up with one song in my head:
"Goodbye to Yesterday" (Elina Born & Stig Rasta).

I just loved the distant singing manner and a very special (I would say, - unusual) performance, as if they are not on the stage and there is no audience, but it is just them two, having a private conversation.

And while I realise that this might not be the brightest "winning" song in terms of Eurovision Contest format, this certainly was (and still is) one of my personal favourites.

There is something very honest about the lyrics,  about the way they looked at each other... No exaggerated emotions or fake smiles, nice neutral vocals and a very catchy refrain.

Very well done, Estonia, thank you for such a wonderful song!




And original video as well! They both are so pretty!


Moving on to the less romantic theme, I must say that I quite liked a very talented boy from Belgium.
This song, - Loïc Nottet - Rhythm Inside,has very contemporary cool vibes to it, I loved how powerful it is, as well as absolutely loved the choreography.  Definitely one of my favourites!
I wish this young man best of luck with his future career, he is truly gifted!




Quite an unusual video:




To be very honest with you,  I am not sure how come Austria almost did not get any points at all? ))
I thought they were fairly cute (weren't they? :)) ... I wasn't a huge fan of the burning piano idea, but I quite liked the song, as well as how stylish/fun the guitarist and drummer looked like ))
C'mon, people, there were songs/participants that were much weaker than them!!! Like all these "dying swans" (I mean extremely boring ladies singing slow romantic ballades that everyone is already fed up with)))
OK. Whatever ))








A Monster Like Me by Mørland & Debrah Scarlett representing Norway was not bad as well, I liked the way they matched.




And of course (oh, of course! :)) I enjoyed performance of the winner, - Måns Zelmerlöw  representing Sweden! Not only this gentleman is attractive (my younger sister Sashenka surely knows who he looks like :D),  but the song and the energy, and most importantly, - the visuals were amazing as well!





All in all I can say that this year I really enjoyed the contest.  There were many decent participants and I was pleasantly surprised! No more monsters etc.  (no offence to any kind of monster fans, please! )) 

I hope you enjoyed this year's Eurovision Contest, too.  And who were (are) your favourites?

Certainly let me know.
