The usual favourite, a newcomer and the biggest looser will choose today

Sweden: Melodifestivalen 2007
1. Andreas Johnson - A Little Bit Of Love (last year's song was much better)
2. Sonja Aldén- För att du finns (this could be a surprise winner but I think it will end up being 3rd or 4th)
3. Anna Book - Samba sambero (how latina is Anna?)
4. Sebastian - When the night comes falling (very nice song)
5. Marie Lindberg - Trying To Recall (this is borring but the swedes are given big love to ballads this year)
6. Måns Zelmerlöw - Cara mia (nice song, nice dance routine, hunky singer. What are they waiting for, give Måns the ticket to Helsinki)
7. Tommy Nilsson - Jag tror på människan (last place?)
8. Sanna Nielsen - Vågar du, vågar jag (the most schlagerific song of the evening)
9. Sarah Dawn Finer - I Remember Love (I remember Chiara)
10. The Ark - The Worrying Kind (glam rock. Hot favourites, nice song)
.
Czech Republic has some borring songs to choose from, I think they will stay in the semi-final and maybe withdraw next year...
.
Portugal: Festival da Canção 2007 (i'm now on stand by to get a ticket lol)
1. Filipa Cardoso & Edmundo Viera - Desta vez (This time) (famous male singer and teen idol, shame he cant sing very well)
2. Marta Plantier & Os Corvos - Piano, piano (I was told this is a very powerfull song, Marta has a very original voice. The Corvos are the portuguese male group version of Vanessa May)
3. Luiz & Lata - Ai pode (The title is a joke with Ipod. From the same producer who gave us Coisas de nada)
4. Sabrina - Dança Comigo (Vem Ser Feliz) (Dance with me - come and be happy) (this is portuguese schlager, gooooooooo Sabrina)
5. Diogo T. - Chega, foi demais (I imagine this to be very borring)
6. TribUrbana - Dá-me a lua (Give me the moon) (a mix between fado and hip hop. Be affraid, be very affraid)
7. Meldo D. & Elaisa - Será cedo? (Is it soon?) (Rap meets disco meets funky meets hip hop, I'm dizzy already)
8. Teresa Radamanto - Ai de quem nunca cantou (Shame on those who never sang before) (big ballad)
9. Henrique Feist & Vanessa - Além do sonho (Behind the dream) (ethnic song, pre-contest fan favourite)
10. Zé P. - Na ilha dos sonhos (borring pop)
