More Eurovision! Six countries chose their entries this week. Or five. We'll get to that.

Denmark chose this. It hink it's cute.

Germany picked a ballad about sisterly love (or something like that).

Hungary is sending a ballad sung in Magyar. Bold move, but it worked for Portugal in 2017. This doesn't have the same emotions as that one did, but I quite like it.

Lithuania picked this, which I guess is inspirational. It's ok I think.

Romania went in a different direction. I quite like this, even if her English can be hard to understand at time.

Ukraine is my favourite this week. I love everything about this (except the vocals). This could have been an amazing song with a better singer.

But since Ukraine's song was chosen, there's been an unusual amount of drama. Maruv objected to the contract terms and refused to sign, and the runner-up refuses to take her place, as does the second runner-up. So at the moment we have no idea who (if anyone) will represent Ukraine in Tel Aviv.
