I place this song first because I think its a beautiful pop-ballad and they do not stand still so it works as a show too. I think it is a beautiful RNB like song. And Ireland won so many times.
And this screams more Eurovision to me than Irelands entry.

I think it is an amazing ballad but Ireland already won so many times. She seems to enjoy being on the stage too.
First I placed this song first, then second, then third and then first again because I think it is an amazing song. But now I placed it second again.
This is so hard.
A bit chessy to sing in french but Eyravallajökull (ok I don't remember exactly what the glacier/volcano is named) was only the begining of Icelands vengeance after losing with a great song to the Violin hobbit last year. Hera is the avatar of the Jökull and you can see that with the smoke behind her and her red clothes. Good song.
Something unique and it just has a great feeling. And wouldn't it be fun if Latvia won? And if I ever go on one of those Latvian cruises I might hear this.

Actually, I do not know what the songs name is. But I think it ís very cool and enchanting. It is so cool that a Nordic country finally sings in its native language and not just our secondary language, english, all the time.
The song makes me happy and makes me think of moomin trolls.
I think our (Swedens) entry is boring and sucks.
The finale this year is very exciting as there is no clear winner. I put my bet on Turkey even though I hate their song.
Turkeys (and Greece) songs are always so good but not this year. ;(
Regarding Greece. Please - EVERYBODY VOTE ON THEM! PLEASE!
edit: If the links don't work now than I can not bother with fixing them.

Actually the Finnish song is by Kuunkuiskaajat and the name of the song is: "Työlki ellää." A rough translation would be: "Working is a viable source of income as well," "It is possible to live with work as well," or "One can live through his job as well." It has this sort of a tone to it that would suggest the translation to be: "Working is to be included as a viable way of providing oneself with the necessities for life as well," this translation comes even more preferrable in the context of the song as the chorus is: "Työlki elää, mut kaupal rikastuu," or in English: "Working is a viable source of income as well, but with trade one will become rich."
The point is, Finnish is not always directly translatable to English. The expression "työlki ellää" is kind of colloquial expression in spoken language, it's not of the "written language," and this is nearly intranslatable. The suffixes that are used in Finnish allow for fluency almost irreplicable in English due to all of the function words that are crammed into the average English sentence. Might as well just save us all some time and use more itnerpretation.
You know what? I'm just pulling your legs. Nobody tries to directly translate things to other languages. It's plain silly simply because of the different ways that things are expressed in.

I used a translator for the airplane part. And something also translated to "squirt" or "spray", so that would probably be fuel injection.
I might have figured out the ending. He's a member of a mechanics union? (I got a translation of "coalition" and couldn't figure out what the heck that had to do with engines.)

I believe that the "squirt" came from "suihku" wich is a part of a compound within the compound "suihkuturbiini." As of a coalition, I have no idea but the "aliupseerioppilas" would refer to some manner of an officer trainee or something.

Yes, yes this is.
Oh and I'm disappointed at this year's eurovision. Didn't find anything I would have particularly liked. Usually there's even one or two but now there's nothing that strikes me as somewhat better than the rest.

Lots of ballads, which is a bit boring.
But there is not really a clear winner like there was last year.

The Bulgarian song this year "Angel si ti" (en: "You are an angel"):
Text in English (for those who wanna know what's his is singing):
We were kids,
some of us grew up
Others havent, they remained angels
You hold the key
the doors are closed
behind them lives an angel with wings
You are an angel, dont you believe?
An angel foretells your way
You are an angel, did you forget?
The love is showing that to you
Like an angel, be merciful
an angel in its grace
Mercilessly righteous
You are an angel
In a world of vanity, be yourself
Dont replace the truth with lies
for you are different, you are an angel
You are
You are
You are my angel
You are an angel, dont you believe?
An angel foretells your way
You are an angel, did you forget?
The love is showing that to you

Much better than the last year, but... uh...
