After two acts battled for your votes for over a fortnight, we finally have a new contender to throw in to the mix for Eurovision 2015. Earlier this week Trijntje Oosterhuis debuted her entry “Walk Along” and put herself into contention alongside Malta’s Amber and FYR Macedonia’s Daniel Kajmakoski.
But what of Amber and Daniel’s two-song competition last week? Well, nearly 2,000 of you had your say as to who you preferred and we have the results for you here!

1. Amber – “Warrior”: 52% (1.009 votes)
2. Daniel Kajmakoski – “Lisja esenski”: 48% (940 votes)
So – Amber managed to come from behind and defeat Daniel in the end, having been behind in our last update! But could the slender margin between both acts mean that it’s the perfect opportunity for Trijntje to steal the spotlight? It’s time to vote in our latest installment…

malta number 1 ..
malta the best by far …
the winner is maltaa…. <3 its a very potentiial winner 🙂
“Walk Along” will either not make the final or will win the contest. Every few years a happy, bubbly song with a smiley singer wins 🙂
Malta is a very potential winner for me! It will be on top 5 for sure, but I prefare to be a winner I 2015! Marcedonia is boring! And Netherland always aye aye aye and it sounds little bit boring repetition.
So 1 malta?
2 Netherland
3marcedonia
TRIJNTJE / “TRAINCHA’ … song is catchy.. they should use the visuals …as common linnets.. walk alone …. black …. use clips and use podium ‘road track/ walk alone… I am waiting for the complete picture, A POTENTIAL WINNER!
Malta is the best by far!
1.Malta
2.The Netherlands
3. FYR of Macedonia
I think its going to be Malta 2015
1) malta-I can’t stop singing this and I just love the song.
2) netherlands – Alot of aye aye :/
3) marcedonia- boring.
malta the best 🙂 #teamamber this year
It sounds like “Rise Like a Phoenix” has had an influence, as these songs have a professional, more conservative pop sound. “Walk along” may cross the line into old-fashioned territory.
“Warrior” doesn’t sound like Eurovision. It actually sounds like music here in the U.S. where I live. That may be a positive – last year the Netherlands came in 2nd with a song that, in my humble opinion, is really boring if you live in the Southern U.S. and hear country music a lot. But for Eurovision it was a novel experience.
My scores:
Malta: B-
Macedonia: C
Netherlands: C+
Amber Malta xxx
Go Amberrr <3 xx
1: Macedonia
2: Malta
3: The Netherlands
@MTD I agree with you here. If the Macedonian entry was representing Sweden or The Netherlands for example everyone would love it; but if Walk Along represented FYR Macedonia; you would hate it, because people seem to just automatically love the Dutch entries because they’re convinced that they will win because they got two top 10s in a row. Armenia got 5 top 10 in a row 2006-2010 (8,8,4,10,7), and people weren’t all like “Armenia will definitely win ” in 2011.
The Netherlands by far, Malta is ok if it would have a decent singer. Maxedonia is a bit blend.
The Dutch song screams mediocrity and as someone previously stated, Netherlands may be the Mei (Israel 2014) of ESC2015. Sadly.
Interesting though, for you fan girls, if songs are switched, like – your least favorite at the moment is Macedonia (he will re-do his song in English, btw) and Netherlands your fan-fave – if we switch them – the Dutch one becomes Macedonian, and the Macedonian becomes Dutch – you’ll love the Dutch one (Lisja esenski, if) but you’ll hate the Macedonian one (Walk along). That’s how you fan-girls work. Give me a break!
Most probably all three are non qualifiers. Bad songs with not special singers.
Malta – most boring song I have listened in quite some time, nothing similar that bad comes to my mind
Netherlands – they just put musical notes together to fill a 3 minutes song, and that awful and annoying “why aye aye aye” is the cherry on top
Macedonia – a classical ex-Yugoslav ballad with nothing special, very forgettable

“New RATIONAL rating of entries”
You’re so funny:-)
Malta really blew me away this year – there song is just awesome !
1 Malta
2nd Netherland
3rd Macedonia
@cheesecake same. I haven’t seen anyone beside you and myself to have Macedonia in the top.
1) Macedonia
2) Malta
3) Netherlands
Team Malta 😉
The Netherlands is best of 3 songs so catchy macedonia and malta is awful
Top 3 so far:
1. Malta
2. Netherlands
3. Macedonia
Hmm, all songs are really good and should reach the final, but here’s my ranking: 1. Malta 10/12 Great song and vocals. The song is very emotional. With a little voice polishing and great performance, this song could go far.(Prediction: top 10, maybe even top 5) 2. Netherlands 9/12 A catchy, feel-good song with great vocals. However I feel that it could be too similar to other songs to make an amazing impact (prediction 10-15) 3. Macedonia 8/12 The chorus is quite catchy but the intro is too long. Please keep the entry in Macedonian! (prediction: 10-15, if the into… Read more »
Malta is still my favorite followed by Macedonia. Netherand sounds boring to me.
Top 3 so far: 1. The Netherlands (12 points) – One of the notable things about this song is the fact that the chorus kicks in around 0:25 and that makes a good impression especially because the melody of the song is something that gives you good vibes and not to mention the fact that the lyrics are ones you can really sing along to. Another plus points if you want a good Eurovision song! 2. Malta (11 points) – Really powerful vocals and the message of the song is just as powerful as the vocals of the singer. Along… Read more »
New rational rating of entries:
1. Malta: Amber – Warrior 5/10 points
2. Netherlands: Trijntje Oosterhuis – Walk Along 3/10 points
3. FYR Macedonia: Daniel Kajmakoski – Lisja Esenski 3/10 points ?
My Top 3
1: Malta – I can’t stop singing this and I just love the song.
2: Netherlands – I do like it and its catchy but I don’t love it.
3: Macedonia – It took a while for me to actually like the song
Eurovision 2015 please Europe vote for Netherlands
MY TOP 3
1. Malta
2. Netherlands
3. Macedonia
I like them all.
– the Netherlands (by far)
– Malta (I despise dub step but this does go somewhere)
– Macedonia (pretty, and pretty boring)
I can’t wait to here the other entries.
My top three is: 1. Netherlands I think Trijntje is the only one who can really make a difference between the single and her live performance. She will be able to get the crowd swinging. Besides that, the song is very catchy and most likely to be a summer hit for example. She has to work on her arm choreography though. And one of the back up vocals should replace the raw voice of Anouk. 2. Malta Song is okay but not very catchy and nothing special either. That beat is solo over, and I doubt if Amber is the… Read more »
none of them are actually my favorite but i vote for Malta:
TOP 3:
1-Malta
2-FYR Macedonia
3-The Netherlands
(from Belgium)
@Calvin,
Am starting to think the same. I also get a Stella Mwangi/Mei Feingold feeling from Trijntje’s song. Like one hyped up a lot and a “surprise” when it doesnt qualify. Just my opinion and too early still
Not so, Adam – how could you forget 1975’s “Ding-a Dong”? For me, Warrior sounds much closer to “Not Alone” anyway.
1. The Netherlands
2. Malta
3. Macedonia
Haha, “Walk along” is the best Dutch Eurovision song ever. My winner so far, until Romania and Austria came in the race, of course!
For me Trijntje Oosterhuis! That song “Walk Alone” is stuck in my head a couple of days now 😉
1.Macedonia
2.Netherlands
3.Malta
Best one is the Traincha’s song at all, yet.
#TeamTrijntje
1. Macedonia
2. Malta
3. Netherlands
NETHERLAAAAAAAANDS! 12 points from the Philippines!
Amber – “Warrior” Sounds like another 007 James Bond song. Good song but wont win cause no one has ever won imitating the previous years winner.
MALTA BEST SO FAR AND I THINK THIS COULD GO ALL THE WAY
Why do I feel like Trijntje is going to give us a very contentious Wiwi Jury?
So far I vote for Daniel. The verses are nothing special but I like the chorus a lot. I am not too crazy about Amber’s song, and I really, really do not like Trijntje’s song.
It’s Malta vs Netherlands for me!!
1. Macedonia (Super song!)
2. Netherlands (Very nice song!)
3. Malta (Awful!)
M
1. The Netherlands (and NOT because it´s my own country)
2. Malta (I don´t like the “BREEAAAK” scream)
3. Macedonia (grower)
Daniel by far.
1. Netherlands
2. Macedonia
3. Malta
Trijntje is awesome!
