[Exile]

North Macedonia...wasn't aware of this country. Is there a South East or West Macedonia?

They are the nation you know as Macedonia.

No. Used to just be called Macedonia, but there is a region in Greece with the same name. They agreed to change it last year to North Macedonia.

It hasn't, however, improved their song writing ability.

 

[TSB]

Sweden is ok. His cheesy expressions are a bit much (as is the gospelish backing) but probably best so far.

We'll be off to Stockholm again, I imagine.

 

[Hugo Rune]

The Swedish backing singers roll on!

Looked on Wiki - name change occured February 2019.

I'm running a little behind.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Swedish man and the Weather Girls - Heart FM stuff. Will do well.

 

[Gregory2Smith1]

look out the strippers are on

 

[Frutos]

This (Netherlands) is the bookies favourite.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Slovenia - Oh, I give up.

 

[Napier]

At last, a real contender. The Netherlands!

 

[TSB]

This (Netherlands) is the bookies favourite.

Err why?

 

[Frutos]

Err why?

 

[whitelion]

This (Netherlands) is the bookies favourite.

If that's tipped as the winner I might as well switch off now.

 

[TSB]

Netherlands usually tend to put in something edgier/better.

 

[Beach Hut]

Where is Wogan when you need him

 

[Beach Hut]

Greece totally sh1te

 

[KZNSeagull]

After hearing Cyprus, Netherlands and Greece, Slovenia and Denmark are winning for me now. At least they knew their limitations and kept within them.

 

[TSB]

Hard to be more out-of-tune than that from Greece.

 

[Madafwo]

The in holy hell was that! I assume the Greek effort was actually singing in English but I couldn't understand a chuffing word of it.

 

[Badger]

I think Greece has just lowered the bar even further.
