On the road to Helsinki: Germany, Serbia, Turkey and Ukraine

Germany: Roger Cicero was the winner of the German selection with the song Frauen regier'n die Welt (Women rule the world). I was very happy that he won since he was my favourite song. This is not a usual eurovision tune but I think that it's vintage sound can appeal to the voters next May. Good luck Germany.

Serbia: No surprises here, a ballad with an ethnic backround sound won! Marija Serifovic is the singer and the name of the song is Molitva (Prayer). Its a nice song, Marija performs it very well but it sounds a bit old. Still I bet we will be seing this in the final so we better get used to it.

Turkey: Kenan Dogulu his the Turkish representative in Helsinki with the song Shake it up shekerim. Again this song is a mix of traditional and modern sounds. I like the intro...

Ukraine: This the funny song of the year! Verka Serduchka was the hot favourite and she will now represent the 2004 winners in Helsinki. Her song is called Danzing and its just fab, fab, fab! Let's danze!
