The truth is that what I've written in the song posts from Spain and Australia is exactly the combination of my parents' preferences. (That's how it came out) My mother from Argentina so she very much likes the song of Spain (France is actually the second place in her)

And my dad really loves the song of Australia

She's heard about 3/4th of the songs. Her absolute favourites are Belarus (we had a good bonding experience over loving it :lol:), Norway and Australia. She also enjoyed Belgium quite a bit (loves the melody of the verses and started singing along almost immediately) and found Sweden, Bulgaria and Macedonia pretty good. Liked France after I explained the meaning and Italy she has praise for as well. She also found Lithuania sweet, and said that Latvia definetly "has something". Didn't like Cyprus, Greece, Romania, Iceland, Czech Republic or Spain at all (basically with all of them demanded I'd stop playing them half-way lol) and was almost completely unfazed by Israel (but loved the music video haha) :lol: But yeah, she still hasn't heard about 10 or bit more songs and her opinions may change or solidify later.

Over the past weeks I found the courage to tell my new girlfriend I'm really into Eurovision and also convinced her to join me.
After listening to snippets a couple of times, she has a few clear favourites:

The first one by far is :cz:, which is now on her spotify playlist, she also really likes :ch:

Also after hearing my well-constructed rant on :il:, she agreed it was weird and terrible ... only to change her mind a couple weeks later to say it's one of her favourites :lol:

Don't have all her opinions, but some random thoughts:

:bg: At first didn't have any impression, but she was really surprised by the live performance; it truly touched her.

:cz: One of her favorites; he reminds him of a mix between a Justin Timberlake song and Sunstroke Project.

:dk: She really likes it, she calls him the Viking, and she's surprised it's not higher on the odds.

:ee: One of her top favorites; pretty impressed by her voice.

:es: Too cheesy, but she likes cheesy, and she pretty much sang along by the last chorus.

:fr: Likes it, but that's all. A nice song but doesn't really stood out for her.

:il: She's kinda torned: as a Jewish woman, she would love the idea of Israel winning, but the song itself it's too over the top to her tastes.

:it: It really stands out, always ends up teary.

:mt: Didn't really like the video at all. Doesn't have a strong opinion about the song in either way.

:me: Like me, she's a sucker for Balkan ballads, and this time was no exception.

:nl: Another of her favorites; started singing along pretty soon.

:no: She's a big fan of Rybak, and while she doesn't think it's his best, she can't help herself but smile whenever it's on.

:se: Wasn't her favorite in Melodi, but she's still impressed by her showmanship.

Oh no, I need a divorce! My husband just informed me that he hates the Bulgarian song! He thinks it sounds like „cat howling“ to him. Damn, how can I live on with this? xbeee

My boyfriend's favorite is :cz:. I guess it is, along with Israel, one of the most easy-liking songs at first hear. Then I downloaded like 10 of my favorite entries and started playing them in the car. He now likes Ukraine and knows the lyrics and also a little bit of Denmark. He hates Macedonia and Bulgaria is a bit meh for him.

My mum has no specific taste so it's always a guess in the dark what she will like.

I predict this year :md: :no: :mrgreen:

mum wanted to listen to the top 5 bookmakers and I suggested Cyprus (as it's 6) and Bulgaria. She also wanted to listen to Belgium and the UK too

Her Ranking with comments (she's brutally honest and she's 58)

1st : Israel :il:
"Loved it, the girl is cool, the song is fun." I asked if she found the song weird, like noises, she didn't realize the chicken sounds and said it vas very well made

2nd : Estonia :ee:
"Does she sings like that live ? I doubt it, but if yes, that's very pretty but Israel is funnier and more enjoyable"

3rd : Cyprus :cy:
"That's an Eurovision song and that's the kind of song that has to win ! but in the same genre Israel is better, she's gorgeous btw"

4th : Belgium :be:
"That's a very cool song, why is it that low in the odds ?"

5th : France :fr:
"that's all about the message I guess but don't think it's a winner"

6th : Norway :no:
"Are you kidding me ? 2nd, what's their drug, I want some, I heard this 20times already, It gonna ends 10th or something like that"

7th : Bulgaria :bg:
"Meh, that's not good, stop it please"

8th : United Kingdom :uk:
at the beginning : "oh that's a very cool song", chorus : "oh no, forget what I just said , that's so plain"

9th : Czech Republic :cz:
After the chorus : "can you stop it ? It's not that it's a bad song it's just not my cup of tea"

My mum's favourite last night was :ee:. She also liked :fi: and :ch:.

Aside from that she didn't seem very impressed with the semi. (there were a lot of "it's alright"s)

hi again, I was watching with a friend last night
he doesn't like ESC at all but was curious to watch.

He remembered Israel and Cyprus and... Portugal LOL ! He told me that was the best song from the "semi" even if that was just a snippet.

My mum and sister have watched the show yesterday but the comments were disillusioning. They hadn't listened to or watched any of the songs before.

Sister: doesn't like any song (really surprising) except Cyprus

Mum: as I did expect she liked Austria best, then Croatia, the Cyprus.

So all in all, two people who never heard any of the songs before also liked Cyprus best (I never expected that!)

I thought my sis would like Belgium, but on the contrary, she thought it was terrible. She also wasn't too fond of Estonia, of which I thought she'd like.

I thought my mum would like Switzerland, which she did a bit, but it wasn't too overwhelming in her opinion ("yeah, it's okay!").

All in all they thought there were really weak songs.
