#UPDATE 02/28/2016
COUNTRIES WHICH HAVEN'T SELECTED THEIR SONGS YET
Supersonic, Patience
I've been waiting for this night
Heartbeat
Grateful : Margaret is not longer my favourite after what I saw last morning.
Faller, I Will Wait, Youniverse

COUNTRIES WHICH HAVE ALREADY SELECTED THEIR SONGS
Asaj, Liroje Zemrën : big big big big enormous deception here... Dreadful song won...
Loin d'ici
What's the pressure
Flame : don't care at all about Belarus
Who needs a heart : Oh my god I'm so disappointed...
Say yay !
No Fear : MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH! SHE WAS THE BEST!
Honestly, I don't want to tell you something about those horrible songs.
Nessun grado di separazione : I was rooting for Annalisa prior to hearing all songs, but... Francesca's one... oh my god, what a stunning performance and a cute hands movement. (she didn't move and dance during the performance, but this does not need any acting or artificial things like fireworks or smoking machines... 3)
Óstöðvandi (and Raddirnar but there's something wrong, and I couldn't say what goes wrong...) : Meeeeeeeeeeeh.
Memories : Fair enough.
Icebreaker : Kinda logical.
Črno bel : Magnificent song which wasn't even chosen by Slovenia...
The last of our kind : Easy one
1944 : 1944 is by far better in live.

COUNTRIES WHICH HAVE CHANGED THEIR SONGS BEFORE THE DEADLINE
Chameleon (Invincible), the Flame (but Jessika's song was no longer my favourite after the SF's lives/show, I was so disappointed ._.)

Woo, finally managed to catch up with my backlog and look through all the NF songs so far this season. I've put down anything I enjoy (or the most tolerable, if I don't like anything in the NF), from most to least favourite. The bolded songs are ones I love, and they'd be in my Eurovision top 10-15 in an average year.

One More Sound, Weapons Down
Play, Supersonic, Kaugel Sinust
Who Needs A Heart, Heart Shaped Hole, Not Alone
On It Goes, No Fear, Rise Up, [Shamppanjataivas], Good Enough, Let Me Out, [Thief]
Pain In My Heart
Masters Of Chant, Nur Ein Lied
Pioneer, Győz a Jó, Who We Are, Uncle Tom, Colors
Raddirnar, Spring yfir heiminn
Heartbeat, We Live For Love, Miracle Drums
I've Been Waiting For This Night, [Did It All]
Irresistible, Falling Stars
Feel Da Rush, Afterglow, Icebreaker, Laika
The Last Of Our Kind
1944, Helpless

Përrallë, Dashuri ne perjetsi
Pray For Love, Running To The Sun, Help You Fly
In Our Nature
Kingdom, Chameleon, Falling Glass
Victorious, Say Yay

Nothing's made me particularly mad, thrilled or surprised with the NF results so far, but with most of my favourites still to come, I think a lot of my opinion of the year's strength is going to depend on how many of those bolded songs get through.

 

[hufus]

I had a long list but decided to limit myself to one per country.

I haven't found anyone to get behind for or yet, but I haven't listened to all of them for a couple of those countries. Some are better than others but basically I just don't really care yet, might by the time their finals come around.

I was on board with Barei and Laura, and Malta, Albania, and Belarus were in the 'meh' category for me.

Simone - Heart Shaped Hole
Anett Kulbin - Strong
Lieminen - Pehmeiden arvojen vaalijat
The Hungry Hearts f. Lisa Dillan - Laika
Jamala - 1944
Zoe - Loin d'ici
Karlotta - Óstöðvandi (prefer the Icelandic version)

 

[tsegaye]

[eerik]

Seis by Mick // Patience by IW*E // Sally by Go Away Bird // Play by Pootsmann

All four qualified to the final, yay. Though I'll remove "Play" from the list, Pootsmann's stace presence is just too awkward.

Shamppanjataivas by Pää-äijät // Ready for the Show by Attention 2 // Liian kuuma by that band whose name I don't remember at the moment, Peter's Spectacle??

Haven't followed UMK semifinals, but I think all of those were eliminated. You dun goof'd, Suomi!

Have not listen to other national finals and probably wont besides Latvia.

Everything I've heard from Latvia so far has been terrible, nothing to support.

Seeing as my favorites are already out of Melodifestivalen, I'll have to work with what I've got.

Robin Bengtsson - Constellation Prize (maybe also Eclipse – Runaways, but I've yet to hear the song)
Avantasia - Mystery of a Blood Red Rose
Catalepsia - Damnation

 

[ZoboCamel]

Time for an update! As before, I like everything here but they're in descending order from my most to least favourite, and bolded songs would likely be in my top 10-15 for the year.

Play, Seis, Supersonic, Kaugel Sinust
On It Goes, No Fear, [Rise Up], [Shamppanjataivas], Good Enough, Let Me Out, [Thief]
Masters Of Chant, Ghost, Nur Ein Lied, Mystery of a Blood Red Rose
Pioneer, Győz a Jó, Who We Are, Uncle Tom, [Colors]
Heartbeat, [We Live For Love], [Miracle Drums]
I've Been Waiting For This Night, [Did It All]
Irresistible, Falling Stars
Feel Da Rush, Afterglow, Icebreaker, Laika
Until Tomorrow

Përrallë, Dashuri ne perjetsi
Pray For Love, Running To The Sun, Help You Fly
In Our Nature
Kingdom, Chameleon, Falling Glass
Victorious, Say Yay
The Last Of Our Kind
One More Sound, Weapons Down
Pain In My Heart
Who Needs A Heart, Heart Shaped Hole, Not Alone
Raddirnar, Spring yfir heiminn
1944, Helpless

I've actually been pretty happy with the choices made up until now - compared to previous years, at least - but with a lot of my favourites still to come in the next few weeks, my final opinion's going to depend on whether or not they're chosen. Go Mikael!

[Stargazer]

Oh this is becoming a great year for my favorites... :?

Eclipse – Runaways | Robin Bengtsson - Constellation Prize
