National selection season continues tonight in Portugal, the United Kingdom and Sweden. Portugal will select its winner live and the United Kingdom will unveil its internally selected contestant(s). In Sweden eight acts from the semi-finals will duel it out for four tickets to the final of Melodifestivalen.
Portugal – Festival da Canção
Portugal will be selecting its act through national selection Festival da Cançao. Six artists, including ESC veteran Simone de Oliveira, will battle it out to represent Lisbon in Vienna in May.
You can watch the national selection through RTP’s stream here from 22:25CET.
United Kingdom – BBC Red Button
The United Kingdom will be unveiling its Eurovision act in two stages. Fans in the UK will be able to see who the BBC have selected for the Eurovision Song Contest 2015 first directly after The Voice UK at 22:25CET.
The song will then be made available across Europe from 22:40CET on Eurovision.tv.
The BBC has opted for internal selection for another consecutive year and Semi-Final commentator Scott Mills will host the reveal. The last UK national selection was held in 2010.
Sweden – Andra Chansen
Finally in Sweden viewers can watch Andra Chansen. The second chance round will produce the final four qualifiers for the grand final on March 14th in Stockholm.
You can watch Dolly Style, Linus Svenning, Samir & Viktor and the other Andra Chansen contestants duel it out live from 20:00CET on SVT Play.
After listening all performances, I wouldn’t mind hearing 5 of them win.
Jose – only horrible song, a serious candidate for my last
Yula – maybe the best song, great voice
Leonor – also a lovely song
Simone – atmospheric song, and it would stand out
Teresa – my second favorite, lovely tune
Goncalo – I find it likable, and it would stand out among ballads
So, any song from 2-6 would be ok by me.

This looks like the entry maybe? A 20’s style type of song called “Still in Love”. It may or may not be, I’m not sure, but it looks like it. Sounds good though!
Whatever Portugal picks is gonna be an awful pic. If they pic that Jose Freitas guy, Portugal will be my last. Finland makes me laugh at least.
Just NONONONONO
Tonight is horrible

@Romania Selectia is on tomorrow.
What about Romania’s Selectia Natinala? I thought itt will be tonight as well.
Cant wait for the UK announcement. I know our song will be bad but still.
Off topic #2 – Poland’s DODA is rumoured to be participating in 2015 after all. Here’s her track (RIOTKA – NOT OVER YOU) in English, but it’s not official, and she very well might not be the chosen one, we will find that out on Monday!

Off topic – Macedonia’s song has its English snippet online – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkzqWtBxew4
It will be in English, apparently. And it will be heavy in violins.
