    I want Israel, Malta, Norway, Hungary, Greece, Albania and Azerbaijan in the final.

    I do not want Georgia and Romania in the final.

    All other entries would be ok choices if they are good live.

    @ Samantha, I can vote tonight and will cast a vote for Albania in your name.

    I wonder if the new ranked system will help France. I feel like it could be an entry that gets a lot of 11-13 placings which could be enough to gather a lot of small points and finish mid-table.

    Oh, I worried that Casada will not reach the Top 10. Placed in the first half of the final inbetween all those ballads. And with Italy getting last ballad-slot. It will not be able to pick up enough points and everybody here in Germany will say “see you should have send LaBrassBanda!” and than the whole selection process will be “rethought”. Uhh! I worried!

    @samantha taking your plea to heart I will give an extra vote for Albania.
