Turn-up the wind-machines. Fetch the glitter. Sound the trumpets and blast some “Te Deum”. Let the wiwivision 2015 grand final commence! Two weeks ago we started with 40 entries. The country list was the same as at Eurovision 2015, but the acts and songs were chosen by the wiwibloggs team. Seven got an automatic pass to the final, while the remaining 33 were whittled down to 20 over the course of two semi-finals. However, there can only be one winner, and the time has come for us to choose ours!

Semi-finals
The victor will be determined by a 50/50 split between readers and the Wiwi Jury. For more details on the voting rules and song selection criteria, click HERE.
You can listen to all 27 finalists below. This isn’t a tv show, so we’ve decided to move away from the producer-led running order favoured by the EBU. The draw is completely random. Obviously, y’all can ignore it and pick and choose who you want to hear first. It’s up to you!
Once you’re ready, vote in our poll.

I vote for Ireland Markus Feehily love is a Drug…a man w/a powerful voice…best of luck to you markus…hoooray!
I go for Ireland Markus Feehily Love is a Drug…that man is so inspiring and gotta powerful voice…go marky! Aja!
GJan from Lithuania is the best by far <3
Markyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Love your self and your voice and your song <3
Never mind. I spotted the Buzludzha Monument (Bulgaria) on the Web. Prime example of one of yesterday’s tomorrows, now just another relic. Kensington chose well. After hearing 4 of their songs, methinks they should seriously consider Eurovision 2016, to take the Dutch in a new direction with their indie-power-rock, after losing what they gained in 2013 and ’14.
Moldova, excellent entry! I hope this poll will help this song to be heard all over the world.
I like a lot of these, but I do so like Dami Im… So I would say Australia and then a host of others
With regard to the Dutch video, I have seen that place before, in a movie or in another video. What is this place where Kensington shot this video?
It was hard to judge these mostly “radio” songs, some of which have been played on Australian radio. Would they be good live? Would their staging work? What would they wear? Anyway, here is my playlist – with love from Australia. 1. Cyprus 2. Sweden 3. Poland 4. Switzerland 5. Germany 6. Greece 7. Ireland 8. The Netherlands 9. Australia 10. Latvia 11. Georgia 12. Finland 13. Norway 14. Lithuania 15. Italy 16. Estonia 17. Austria 18. France 19. United Kingdom 20. Romania 21. Denmark 22. Portugal 23. Belgium 24. Spain 25. Hungary 26. Moldova 27.

GJan! GJan! GJan! Her voice is so unique and her songs are the best. <3 Definetly the winner for me! :))
Australia.. its the incredible Dami Im
My 3 favourites are:
1 Australia
2 Greece
3 Lithuania
The Australian entry is like the wildcard in ESC and the song is good but the singer is great and so unexpected to be from Australia. I had a look for Dami Im and she is Australian but born in Korea. What a great voice, I found another song she did before Gladiator called Super Love and it is just amazing, if it was entered here it would win hands down, but it was released just before July 2014.
I voted for my top 6
1. Romania (my overall favourite)
2. UK
3. Norway
4. Lithuania
5. Germany
6. Austria
My prediction top 10
1. Australia
2. Ireland
3. Norway
4. Austria
5. Lithuania
6. Hungary
7. Finland
8. Belgium
9. Switzerland
10. UK
Ireland!!!______Love Is A Drug
My bad. That last score was 9.34 for Greece. I slept on that one after typing the score for Moldova (and my comment thereafter). Nonetheless, Demy from Greece was my #10.
If Australia or Ireland wins this, Im done. yeah, the songs are somewhat good but its going to be unfair if a song wins due to “mass voting”.
Here I go again. All 27 in one pass; 5 criteria for the audio versions only (because some of these songs don’t have music videos). Here are my top 10:
9.62 Norway
9.50 Australia (imagine Dami battling Nina Sublatti with this song, had it been released a month later for eligibility)
9.42 Austria
9.42 Ireland
9.42 Belgium
9.42 Spain
9.40 Hungary
9.38 Netherlands
9.36 Moldova (they should have sent Nicoleta instead)
9.36 Greece
MARKUS FEEHILY is the Best! Love you forever frrom the Philippines 🙂
Dami Im, Australia for sure. This girl has an incredible vocal range. She has the international star talent material.
I will always choose Markus Feehily. I love you Mark! 🙂 Be blessed! 🙂
Already got these on my playlist:

1st) Spain [Overall Contest Favourite, Tied with Non-Qualifier Montenegro]
2nd) Georgia
3rd) Greece
4th) Cyprus
My solid vote goes to the amazing singer, Markus Feehily… Go, Ireland!!!
1) Australia . Wow why didn’t Australia send this girl to Eurovision? Pure vocals with great power, dynamics & control. She’s evan got her own fan based website http://www.damiarmyworld.com great to see new, exciting, unique talent.
Could it be, that in this, the earlier you are in the running order the better your chances?
Australia easily although Dami’s voice & Musicality is International. If you haven’t heard Dami before you are missing out Big Time!
