Over the years many entries have surprised us with their staging at the actual contest, as well as how they have been performed. Many entries went from being underdogs to fan favourites after their performance, and many others have gone the other way too. So which songs are you most looking forward to watching the performance of in Baku this year?

Personally :-

:sm: - Self-explanatory.

:sk: - Really interested in seeing how this is performed. Could make it a real stand-out threat or could make it tank in the semis.

:me: - I have no idea what he's going to do for this. Maybe something like France 2008?

:se: - Pretty much what everyone would say. If she can pull it off the atmosphere could be electric.

Anyone else?

:se: - It promises to be full disappointment in comparison with the performance at the MF, or even greater admiration.

:sm: - I'm waiting on the scene a huge bed and a laptop. :lol: This is perhaps the biggest intrigue of the ESC.

:it: - I'm madly like a song and Nina, I really want to see how the show this year will make Italy.

:cy: - There is more or less clear with the statement, I was intrigued by a live performance of the song.

:is: - It should be something exciting.

:nl: The Netherlands actually have a fair shot at qualifying so I am curious the chemistry onstage.

:se: For obvious reasons, it's the big favorite so it's going to be interesting, as someone said above, it'll be a make or break performance.

:sm: I'm really intruiged by it.

:uk: Can he do it? He sounds great in the studio but I am still not convinced that he can pull it off live

:no: - Well, you just know it's going to be explosive! I'm hoping for pyrotechnics galore and half nakedness!

:sm: - omgomgomgomgomg

:ru:

:is: - I reckon they could do something magical here

:md: - Hopefully it's as insane as previous years :D

:nl: - Native American gear again? I hope she can step up and deliver something new and quirky ^^

:gr: - Not really looking forward to this, but I hope they bring back the giant stapler to stop me from going to the toilet during their song.

San Marino simply because it hasn't been performed on stage yet.

Norway - Yes, this will be flashy

To be honest, I'm looking forward to all the stage performances in some way or another.

:at: Since they cannot use the light effect anymore, i wanna see what they will do instead of that. :)
:cy: Humm, i don't know if she will be able to sing/dance.
:fr: Really curious about Anggun's performance. It will be a dancing number or what? She can sing it live or not?
:is: I wanna see if they will recreate the video's magical/misterious atmosphere.
:ie: Don't need to explain. They're Jedward, so i'm really curious about their performance. :lol:
:no: He can sing? It's my biggest concern.
:sm: This will be amazing. :lol: :lol:
:rs: Because he's my favourite.
:sk: I'm expecting a very strong and impressive performance. :D
:se: I wanna see if she will fail or impress even more.

It doesn't mean that all of them are my favorites, but I am really curious how they'll be on stage:

:se: - I think it will be like in MF, but I am really looking forward to it!
:cy: - I have no clue how the staging will be, but I have a feeling it will be either epic or a disaster! (I hope it will be the first)
:gr: - Well, I hate the song, but the news about having 2 male and 2 female dancers made me look forward to how it will be on stage!
:sm: - Really, I have no clue about it either! I expect something really funny!
:it: - I didn't see any video of live performance of this song (I'm not talking about her voice of course, but the whole staging)
:is: - Iceland can stage a ballad song in a perfect way, like in 2009!

Also, these: :tr: :lv: :mk: :md:

The rest will be as expected I think!

Yeah, I really look forward to her performance too. Wouldn't mind if she brought some of the boys in her music video with her. :D

Trece, I mean, the whole staging of the song, not her voice. I didn't see her performing it in a show or anywhere, with choreography or anything. And it's not a ballad like Per Sempre, that we'd be kinda sure that she would stand and sing it. The song is uptempo, it can have a good concept on stage. I can't tell from a video like that, although it seems she will have a band with her on stage. But we cannot be sure about it.

I imagine Nina will perform at ESC in almost exactly that dress as shown above and her 'birdnest' hair thing that she had in the Per Sempre video, plus two female background singers in about the same clothes. And no band.

Totally my top 3!

:es: xheart I'm really curious to see how they're gonna stage the performance. I want something really simple!
:se: Who doesn't want to see the winner's performance? :cool: :twisted:
:ro: Curious to see if she can perform it in the right tone.

:be: Ofcourse I'm curious to my country's own performance (:
:ua: Always mediocre songs, awesome performances & stage acts
:fr: This lady is really trying everything this year, remixes, versions with other artists, performing in multiple NF's, Her performance HAS to be good.
:ge: How bad will it actually be?
:se: Logically, Her performance at MF was soo good already. Suprised how everything will turn out with the backings though, will the singing be equally good to the cd-version?

Do you really believe Netherlands has a fair shot in this semifinal,and being 3rd in the row?
