I'm surprised no one's mentioned Ithaka Maria's Hopa'pa-rei (:ee:). That was amazing - like a combination of Shakira and Ruslana. I fear it's because I was far too negative in my opening post. I didn't intend for this thread to be "I hate x entry, they should have sent y instead". I like Estonia's entry this year, but that doesn't stop me broadcasting my love for her NF competition.

I see people like Chen's song "Or" from Israel. But the problem is that he didn't make a good performance, but I give another hope for next year :)

At the beginning he missed some notes, but at the end it was pretty/very good though. And his dances moves were asynchronous, but still cool. I hope he's going next year!

I have not seen many NF's but IMO "Aliose - Sur les pavés" was one of the best that didn't make it.

Yes! Didn't mention it, because I didn't want to go through a whole list of every NF, but I loved that song. I can understand that it wasn't picked, perhaps, because it is quite an understated song and may not have stood out enough in ESC. However, that doesn't change the fact of its beauty.
