Eurovision 2016: The Vine’s Definitive Song Ranking Of The Contenders
- Cyprus – Minus One, ‘Alter Ego’
Catchy song but no real build; too stagnated on the same level.
- Israel – Hovi Star, ‘Made of Stars’
Beautiful voice, it’s a good song but not really bringing anything new to the table.
- Lithuania – Donny Montell, ‘I‘ve been waiting for this night’
Sounds like an X-Factor single but will be a popular one.
- Denmark – Lighthouse X, ‘ Soldiers Of Love’
Love a boy band, and these guys are damn fit. They will be a popular pick but the song is a bit of fluff and nonsense.
- Estonia – Jüri Pootsmann, ‘Play’
Amazing voice, very George Ezra and crowds will love him but the song is a dud.
- Azerbaijan – Samra, ‘Miracle’
A surprise from Azerbaijan, this is a good song, it’s a bit ‘Can’t fight the moonlight’ but lacks wow-factor. But Samra is fucking gorg!
- France – Amir, ‘J’ai cherché’
Beautiful song with a important message, but this will likely get lost in translation.
- Netherlands – Douwe Bob, ‘Slow Down’
Acoustic number with a country twang, Bob is great and it’s a good song but maybe too relaxed for the Eurovision stage.
- Hungary – Freddie, ‘Pioneer’
Great and different kind of voice and could go off on stage.
- Germany – Jamie-Lee, ‘Ghost’
Mixed message in this video, Alice in Wonderland meets Harajuku girl, but Jamie-Lee has a beautiful voice that will stand apart from the others.
