Update of my list, with stars added also to show you when when I'm extra aurally aroused by something. Belarus are still top of the pops for me with their eternal hit, I Still Love You by Mariah Gregory. Conan Osíris, Fatal Error and Hera Björk are the hottest new additions to my list.

Kaia Tamm (especially based on her performance) looks like your # 1.

If I could only pick 5:

2. Mariah Gregory - I Still Love You
3. Loredana Bertè - Cosa ti aspetti da me
4. Fatal Error - Kulcs
5. Artemisa Mithi & Febi Shkurti - Dua ta besoj

This year is really starting to pick up with the songs available but will I actually get any favourites? I'm used to get getting one or two at most. I need at least a little bit of green up there by the end of this NF season.

JSYK, Leander's song is my fave from this entire season. Unless I find something better after listening to some more songs in the remaining NFs I'll be forever upset over that snubbery. #LeanderFor2020Challenge

My favourites in national finals are usually something really unlikely and more towards the non-English songs, I also mostly just watch recaps of the songs and the odd grand final of them!

Trying to pick just one, I have barely listened to most of them though, I've just been making the list when I'm in the mood and I see more have come out:

:lt: Lithuania-Matas Ligeika-You came here to fly
:cz: Czech Republic-Hana Barbara-Posledni slova tobe (they've only entered in Czech once and none of the others struck me particularly)
:fr: France-Gabriella-On cherche encore(never get enough)
:hu: Hungary-Klara Hajdu-You're gonna rise (maybe one of my weaker favourites in this list, I've liked Hungary the past 3 years so maybe they could send a calmer song for a change)
:es: Spain-Miki-El equilibrio (there were one or two others I liked but I can't remember what they were)
:ro: Romania-2gents-Ielele (This one I like a lot!)
:lv: Latvia-Liga Ridere-Busu tepat
:ee: Estonia-Sandra Nurmsalu-Soovide puu (that has been my one stand-out song of all national finals and it's sad it probably won't win!)
:pt: Portugal-Matay-Perfeito
:uk: UK-Kerrie-Anne-Sweet Lies
:md: Moldova-Formatia Lume-Ca adriano celenano
:no: Norway-Dsound-Mr.Unicorn
:se: Sweden(early favourite)-Zeana ft.Anis Don Demina-Mina brander (I am genuinely a bit peeved that didn't make it and I may be hesitant to get behind another Melodifestivalen song or watch every episode but we'll see)

Adding:

:au: Electric Fields - "2000 and whatever"
:lt: Alen Chicco - "Your Cure" ( :lol: )
:md: LUME - "Ca Adriano Celenano"
:ro: Bella Santiago - "Army of Love"

Haven't decided on Estonia yet, guess that will depend on the semifinal.

Finally got around to sorting some national final stuff! Still plenty of countries I haven't listened to yet; I'll update in time.

Oh, and because I'm a sneaky little thief, I'm taking Rainy's star icon to indicate the songs I particularly like. xshifty Though I've been somewhat more lenient with it here, using it for anything that would stand a good shot at being in my top 10 or top 15 at Eurovision in an average year.

:al: Mirud - Nene > Jonida Maliqi - Ktheju Tokes > Aurel Thellimi - Te Dua Ty
:es: Miki - La Venda
:cz: Lake Malawi - Friend of a Friend
:au: Electric Fields - 2000 and Whatever ★ > Mark Vincent - This Is Not The End
:uk: Michael Rice - Bigger Than Us
:it: Simone Cristicchi - Abbi Cura di Me ★ > Loredana Berte - Cosa ti Aspetti da Me ★ > Il Volo - Musica Che Resta
:hu: yesyes - Incomplete > Papai Joci - Az En Apam > The Middletonz - Roses > Leander Kills - Hazavagyom
:se: Nano - Chasing Rivers ★ > Zeana feat. Anis Don Demina - Mina Brander
:dk: Julie & Nina - League of Light
:ee: Victor Crone - Storm
:is: Hatari - Hatrid mun Sigra ★
:no: KEiiNO - Spirit in the Sky ★
:pt: Conan Osiris - Telemoveis

So I've at least got a bit of green up there so far. But two of those greens (Czech, UK) are just a "best of a bad selection" favourite as opposed to an actual "I like this" favourite, and I haven't got any green stars yet, which is a little bit concerning after eight selections. Hoping for the NF lineups (and outcomes) to improve a little in the coming weeks.
