I am very curious to see if the 5-7 biggest favorites are favorized the same by normal people, living outside of our Eurovision bubble.

Ok here are the results from my survey.

Friend 1=> What? 40 songs? Are you crazy? I hate eurovision! (She never listened to the songs)

Friend 2=> I only liked the song with the tiger.

Friend 3=> Most of them are quite alike. Finland is something different. I kind of liked Italy, Belgium, Azerbaijan, Georgia. Where are the good old days of Eurovision?

Friend 4=> I closed my eyes and listened all the songs. Italy was by far my favorite. I also liked Israel, Romania, Spain.

Friend 5=> Israel is my favorite! Estonia & Australia have so nice songs! Romania, Malta and Czech Republic are also among my favorites. I hate Italy. Sweden isn't anything special, apart from the impressive show.

Friend 6=> Spain,Azerbaijan and Albania.

Friend 7=> You are still obsessed with Eurovision? My faves are Australia, Romania, Belarus and Iceland.

Friend 8=> I liked very much the italian song. I will bet on it. I also liked Belgium & Romania. Respect to Finland.

Friend 9=> Swedes do know how to do Eurovision. Israel has such a catchy tune ! Oh i adore Hungary. UK is nice ! I also like Fyr Macedonia, Ireland, Italy, Moldova, Romania, Serbia, Spain, Netherlands, Azerbaijan.

Friend 10=> Why are you doing this to me? Ok...Moldova is nice. Fyr Macedonia has a sweet song. Oh, the slovenian girl with that special voice is also good. Sweden is very good,winner material? I also liked Australia, Azerbaijan, Belgium, Cyprus, Estonia, Ireland, Romania, Italy & UK.


So, from the countries of the Final, the most popular choices were Italy,Australia and then Spain.
From the countries of 1st Semifinal, the most popular songs were by Romania & Belgium and then Estonia. Some of them appreciated Finland. Russia & Albania, did not impress almost anyone.
From the countries of the 2nd Semifinal, the most popular entries were: Israel by far, and then Azerbaijan & Ireland. No one told my anything about Norway or Latvia though.

I don't even try to ask my friends to listen to the songs, because I know I'll only hear something like what your friend no 1 said, [MENTION=5532]GRE[/MENTION]. :(

When I meet my mom I'll ask her to listen to all the entries.

Thanks [MENTION=5532]GRE[/MENTION] for taking the time and your courage in both hands to introduce Eurovision 2015 to your friends. :) No one mentioned Slovenia?

I guess your "Friend 1" was afraid of the possibility of liking something had she listened to the songs :D

Thanks to my new job, I've been to busy to show my mother this year's song, but I've tried to present them little by little. Here are her impressions:

* Australia: First she was shocked they're allowed to participate. After that, she really liked it, specially because of her voice and compared Guy to Stevie Wonder.
* Estonia: She liked the 60's pop-rock vibe, and was impressed with the overall atmosphere as well as the girl's sweet tune.
* Poland: Okay-ish. Nice, but without a good "punch". She was it was more sincere than most ballads though.
* Israel: Really liked. Praised the ethnic sound blended with a modern uptempo rhtym.
* France: One of her favorites. Impressed with the lyrics and the voice, but she's not sure if most people will get this one.
* Italy: Simply but effective. Praised the performance and the artistry and see them as a potential winner.
* UK: Nice, retro, she actually loved the "scatting" part. It remind her to "The Jungle Book".
* Montenegro: Nice, but far from the best.
* Spain: She saw this as a good contender.
* Azerbaijan: She places this one very high and saw it as a potential winner; praised the voice but compared it to his favorite vocalist of this year, Australia, and Australia won easily.
* Sweden: Not really a favorite, oddly enough. She supported Jon-Henrik and she's still a little mad by that. She liked it but doesn't really see it as that special.

We'll see what the things of the rest.

I played up through Poland for my mom on the album today. Positive responses for Albania, Australia, Belarus, Germany, Denmark (her #1), Estonia, Finland, Georgia, Hungary, Iceland, Lithuania, Latvia, The Netherlands, and Norway. Finland, Latvia, Georgia, and Norway were the rest of her top 5 aside from Denmark. The UK got a special version of "abhor;" Malta, Austria, Ireland, and France were also among her least favorites.

EDITED: "I only liked Denmark because it's Denmark. It's not like I thought it was this awesome song."
