Junior Eurovision 2016 is a little over a month away and the song reveals are coming thick and fast. With 11 of the 17 competing songs now out and available, we thought it’d be a good time to pause and assess your favourites. This is, of course, based largely on the re-mastered versions of the songs. But thankfully some of these kiddies and teen queens sound flawless in real life anyway.
You can vote for as many acts as you’d like, but you can only vote ONE time. Be sure to click the box next to every country you want to support before pressing submit.
Remember: We are only including acts chosen as of October 14. We’ll close this poll in about a week and will open a new poll once all 17 songs have been revealed.

Junior Eurovision 2016: Our reviews so far
In the weeks ahead the Wiwi Jury — our in-house panel of musical unprofessionals — will review each of the songs competing in this year’s contest and assign them scores out of 10. We need to wait until all of the songs are revealed, so that the 20+ members of this year’s jury can assess the songs compared to one another.
But as for now we’ve been filming some of our first reactions. We haven’t uploaded all of them yet — it takes time and a lot of editing work, y’all! — but they will all go up in due course. You can watch the videos we’ve filmed so far in the playlist below.
Macedonia, the best song ever! ??? :)))))))))
Albania is so underrated, it’s the best! Klesta’s voice is stunning and the song is amazing! <3<3<3
I love Russia, Serbia and The Netherlands too. <3<3
Cyprus was also last after Belarus went up on saturday, now they are 5th. Just like Russia and Georgia last year…
Belarus was last yesterday, now they are third. Something is suspicious. If you ask me, the belarusian song is a mess.
Belarus so overrated in this poll and Ukraine so underrated.The three best are Russia,FYR Macedonia and Serbia
1. Russia
2. Macedonia
3. Italy
4. Bulgaria
5. Netherlands
6. Ukraine
7. Belarus
8. Serbia
9. Cyprus
10. Poland
11. Australia
12. Albania
I have the same thoughts on just about all of the songs this year. On one hand, they all have some very powerful or catchy material. But to me they seem diluted by a very mainstream pop sound. Unlike the past two editions of JESC, there are no songs yet that really captivate me this time.
However, I consider all of the songs to have creative merit that makes them worthy of the competition, and all of the singers are VERY talented!
Netherlands and Belarus!
Macedonian song is my favourite!!! 🙂
Italy should win it all. I cried with the first time I heard the song 🙂
1. Bulgaria ^^
2. The Netherlands
3. Serbia

I forgot to mention that Italy’s entry is beautiful.

Anche quando sarai assai meno forte”

I am a huge fan of ballads but these songs are amazing. I think the three of them would deserve to win if presented amazing staging and good vocals in their presentation in Malta.
This year is REALLY strong! I think Macedonia is my favorite <3

The theme song for this year is actually really good- if only Malta could send high quality stuff like it to the adult Contest 🙁

As for the contest, Russia and Italy stand out, while Serbia and the Netherlands are definitely near the top 5. Hopefully Malta and Armenia will keep up their streaks of good songs, and maybe Poland can surprise also.
I love Macedonia’s song <3 and my guilty pleasure – Cyprus

I say Ukraine, Australia and Macedonia. 😀
I have to agree with @Polegend Godgarina, Russia and Italy are in my opinion (so far) the best (by a landslide actually)
Italy and Russia. I’m not saying Italy because it’s my country, I usually dislike our entries, but this one deserves all the praise it’s getting for the stunning lyrics and nostalgic feel.
My whole top 5 is in this top 5 🙂
Macedonia & Italy <33
UKRAINE AND SERBIA
Macedonia <3
Albania and Belarus.
Macedonia! <3
