Lisbon calling Moscow and Belgrade

Country: Russia

Performers: Serebro

Song: Song n.º 1

Music by: Maxim Fadeev

Lyrics by: Daniil Babitchev

Review: This is another "American" pop modern kinda song. Many predict that it will give Russia their first win but I really doubt it.

It lacks charisma, I dont like it, it's a borring song.

I woudn't be surprised if this group of "wanna be divas" totally floped on stage.

Country: Serbia

Performer: Marija Šerifović
Song: Molitva

Music by: Vladimir Graić

Lyrics by: S. M. Mare

Review: Serbians really really want to win Eurovision don't they?

Molitva is a beautifull song and will without a doubt be among the top 5 in Helsinki.

Marija's voice is sublime and fits the song perfectly. She may not be the most attractive singer in the world but she really gives it all on stage making her song shine even more.

It's all very quiet and emotional in this gentle song, so it should stand out well among all the other more extravagant songs.

I dont see it has a winner yeat but it is one of the best songs this year without any doubt.
