As you know, I love the Eurovision Song Contest. But I don´t like the spanish song. My favourite song this year is Israel, with the great Noa.
I`m sure that you will love the songs from Turkey and Azerbaijan!
See you!
Hi Gonzalo! You are right, Noa's song is fantastic. Turkey and Azerbaijan's songs are nice, I also like Iceland,Poland and UK's ballads. Switzerland's song reminds me of Pet Shop Boys, I like it too.
