He also demonstrates impressive vocal abilities. I hope this song will be chosen. I believe it will succeed in reaching the Eurovision final and secure a place...

Editorial Picks: Who Should Represent Sweden? Avi Zaikaner: First Place - Måns Zelmerlöw - "Revolution" I am not a fan of Måns Zelmerlöw and didn't even vote for him in Eurovision 2015 when he won. However, Måns is returning to us in a very weak year when most of the songs are very weak. Måns has an excellent vocal performance, perfect staging, and therefore he is truly the best choice for Eurovision. Assuming he wins the national selection,...

Editorial Picks: Who Should Represent Croatia? Avi Zaikaner: First Place - Luka Nizetic - "Juzina" I chose Luka Nižetić's song because it's the catchiest and best performed song both vocally and stage-wise in the national selection semi-final. The song is about the Južina wind, which in Dalmatian culture (a region on Croatia's eastern coast) is known to cause depression, body aches, headaches, and bad moods. However, it's a very humorous and happy song. What's the problem? There are at least 5 other humorous songs...

Editorial Picks: Who Should Represent Germany? Avi Zaikaner: First Place - The Great Leslie - "These Days" The Great Leslie takes the stage with a fun vibe, charismatic performance, and lots of rock 'n' roll! The song is nice, but nothing more than that. The "spoken" chorus is quite weak and not captivating, but it's the best thing that can come out of this weak national selection. Good luck Germany! I have...

The arrangement doesn't go to expected places and makes me as a listener curious about the song. The vocal performance required for this song is not simple, and if Andreas hits the notes vocally, he might win...
