Eurovision 2016: The Vine’s Definitive Song Ranking Of The Contenders
- Switzerland – Rykka, ‘The Last Of Our Kind’
This song was made for the stage but the message feels a bit cult-ish.
- Latvia – Justs, ‘Heartbeat’
He’s soo pretty, similar to last year winner and great voice.
- Montenegro – Highway, ‘The Real Thing’
Wouldn’t it be amazing for an electronic rock band to win? It’s unlikely and Montenegro are far from favourites to win, but this could blow up on stage.
- Finland – Sandhja, ‘Sing It Away’
Catchy number, great singer, will get votes.
- Croatia – Nina Kraljić, ‘Lighthouse’
Dreamy number, very lovely and beautiful vocals.
- Russia – Sergey Lazarev, ‘You Are The Only One’
One word: Banger.
- Norway – Agnete, ‘Icebreaker’
This is Eurovision personified. Fast paced, strong chorus, simple message. Could definitely win.
- Australia – Dami Im, ‘Sound Of Silence’
Bold debut. This has the makings of a winners song. Build? Tick. Power? Tick. Catchy chorus? Tick. Triumphant conclusion? Tick. Fingers crossed, that we have something extra special planned for the stage as this could rock socks off.
- Sweden – Frans, ‘If I Were Sorry’
If this wasn’t Eurovision, this song would win. But might fail to rouse the crowds comparatively to the other countries. Nevertheless, a beautiful song and Frans is a true talent.
- Spain – Barei, ‘Say Yay!’
This might be a controversial pick, but it’s such a great dance song. Try to stop your feet from breaking loose! Spain haven’t won in over 40 years, plus shouldn’t we all ‘Say Yay’ a lot more? Yay, yay, yay, yay!
