The dust is beginning to settle following this season’s first Super Saturday. Starting in Australia on Saturday morning and finishing in Italy in the early hours of Sunday, the amount of confirmed Eurovision 2020 acts doubled from three to six. Sandwiched in between was the Supernova final in Latvia.
But who is your favourite Eurovision 2020 act so far? Is Albania’s Arilena Ara set for a third week atop the poll? Or could the newcomers shake things up?
It’s time to vote!
You can listen to all three new entries below. Then vote in our poll. Choose wisely, you can only vote ONE time. Voting ends early on Friday, 14 February — just ahead of selections in Armenia, Lithuania and Norway.
We will then relaunch the poll on Sunday to include the three winners, along with France’s internal selection and any other entries which may drop in the interim.
New Eurovision 2020 entries as of 9 February
Montaigne — “Don’t Break Me”
The second-ever edition of Eurovision — Australia Decides provided Europeans with a mid-morning musical treat on Saturday. In a field packed with talent, Montaigne emerged victorious with “Don’t Break Me” — beating Idol star Casey Donovan and “Absolutely Everybody” hitmaker Vanessa Amorosi to second and third place respectively. Montaigne’s staging has proven divisive, but her win has seen the Aussies shoot to the top of the betting odds.
Samanta Tīna — “Still Breathing”
They say god loves a trier. And it’s also true in Eurovision. Sweden has Sanna Nielsen, Estonia has Stig Rästa and now Lativa has Samanta Tīna. After three top podium finishes between 2012 and 2014, and two entries in 2016, Samanta finally won Latvia’s selection on Saturday. “Still Breathing” is penned by Aminata — the woman behind the country’s most successful recent entry “Love Injected”. She was also on the writing team for the Baltic nation’s last qualification — “Heartbeat” in 2016.
Diodato “Fai rumore”
For much of its five-day run, most of the attention was on Francesco Gabbani and Elodie. But a series of steady performances saw Diodato remain constantly near the top. And on Saturday he slipped in ahead of all the contenders to secure the Sanremo 2020 crown. And for once, we didn’t have to wonder whether the Festival winner would accept the Eurovision ticket or not. During the winners’ press conference, the “Fai rumore” crooner confirmed that he was Rotterdam-bound.
Who is your favourite Eurovision 2020 act so far? (9 February)
[crowdsignal poll=10503760]Which of the six is your favourite? Could any of them win the contest in May? Let us know in the comments.
1)Australia 2) Albania 3) Latvia 4) Czech Republic
5) Italy 6)Spain
Albania, Italy are both fabulous – Australian entry is going be super strong once they sort the staging – Spain is screwed ( which is a pity I had very high hopes )
Fans of Albania’s song: CALM DOWN! For the sake of your favorite song stop downvoting anyone who likes another song more. Your’re downvoting people not even for saying something bad about Arilena but just for saying something simple like that they like Australia’s song. You’re even downvoting people who like Albania’s song but don’t have it ranked first. Please stop the madness. This will only turn off people from liking your song
Totally agree with you Jai. I’ve noticed that after reading all the comments.
I mean this is what all the other countries do at Eurovision so what’s different about Albania. They’ve been patient for like 15 years I don’t blame them for being mad at you guys because they are doing the same thing people have been doing all along
Albania sends screaming women every single year and hate to break it to you – it’ll place similar to last year.
Everyone screams it’s a trend to make the song powerful look at Latvia it’s not just Albania
1. Australia
2. Latvia
3. Albania
4. Italy
5. Czech Republic
6. Spain
Australia & Latvia
Italy, followed by Albania. Diodato has great potential, especially with the juries!
All these songs aren’t for me, but Shaj (before revamp) is still at my “top”
Elvana Gjata song ME TANA, from Albania the best till now
just gave a proper second listening to DENMARK’s Ben and Tan ….. aaaand I must say it’s the first and only tiny tiny tiny winning vibes I’m getting to this day……. with the propper staging, the instruments, the audience…. they could really create that sort of “communion” you get with winning songs, to get people singing along together (Or fall flat like when I said the same thing for Madame Monsieur’s Mercy… it’s never even sure. ..) And then more classic would be Raylee’s show..IF and only if she manages a spotless Fuego choregraphy and vocals. we’ll see.
create that sort of “communion” you get with winning songs, to get people singing along together…
I would love to hear you singing along with Jamala and Salvador Sobral!
I think ??Albania is the best
but I like and others countries
1. Australia (8)
2. Spain (8)
3. Latvia (7.25)
4. Italy (6.75)
5. Czech Republic (6)
6. Albania (5)
Why is Albania that high though?
Becouse Albanian roBOTS are aktivated! It`s not a secret that if use web anomizater app then you can wote non – stop
I’m gonna have to disagree, all the other countries have always been toxic to Albania during Eurovision and the one time we get recognition you all get mad your countries always get attention while mine isn’t treated fairly
Oh that’s wrong! No one treats a country here – it’s just about the songs! My country did not qualify for 3 years in an row. But I don’t blame any country not woting for us becouse clearly the song was not good enough!
What I’m saying is smaller countries don’t usually get recognition
Its not that. I’ll be happy if Albania wins but some fans of Albania’s song are downvoting anyone that likes another song. Its aggravating
That’s what everyone else has been doing for the longest time but when Albania does it, THEN it’s a big deal
Im not a robot and I voted for Albania – her song is sublime
Cause we burning up and we ain’t cooling down like our fellow Albanian Eleni Foureira
You guys should all check out Diodato on Spotify. I just went through all his stuff and this guy is freaking awesome. Non ti amo piú is amazing.
Also let’s go Latvia! I’m all about that craziness
Spain is the best. 10/10
We definitely haven’t heard the winner yet, but some of the songs are good. Australia and Italy are amazing. Czech Republic is underrated. Albania is quite good. Spain’s song is forgettable. Latvia’s song is………………………….strange

Did Arilena’s stans just spam the poll? Guys please don’t do this. It’s just a poll, not the real results. Let us have a normal poll for once.
Albania yesterday was second to last, now it’s first. Come on! All you get from ruining polls is hate…
well, tbh is not ruining anything… i mean, if you dont like albania 1st cause you dont trust it… just eliminate from the results: australia wins.
Better?
….
Definitely better. Australia is goooood!
Have you seen what all the other countries have been doing every year ITS THE SAME THING but it’s only big when Albania does it
Too bad the only 3 songs that stuck to my mind (of all the national selections so far) are…….from the same county ! (Norway btw. Wild, Pray for me and attention.) Those are the only 3 I really remembered and replayed. Out of AAALL the ones we’ve heard so far. And that’s a lot. Starting to get worried for this year’s contest though. But I have faith in .. France, Germany, England, Greece, Ireland… who knows. High hopes. OH : and Belgium!!!!! Don’t forget Belgium. Hope they measure up to the expectations !
hope in england? XDD
Albania
Italy
Latvia
Austrailia
Spain
Czech Republic
1.- Latvia
2.- Australia
3.- Czech Republic
Albania! Arilena is simply fantastic.
I’m not “super super” impressed by what we’ve heard in global so far. Quite boring and forgettable. Nothing revolutionary. I played several times Raylee, Kristin Husoy, and Moniqué but except for that …. not much I can hope I’ll still play several years from now.
Since when was Raylee’s song revolutionary?
elvana for albania better
Noo , she’s not sorry bro but She doesn’t have the voice like Arilena does . Maybe Arilena is not the best in this competition, but she’s better than Elvana yes .
LOL Albania suddenly got so many votes in a short period of time. Who shared the link to ask people to vote?
It’s the same thing all the other countries have been doing forever but it’s ALWAYS A BIG DEAL WHEN ALBANIA DOES IT
I vote for Albania and Italy I love the 2 songs !
Okay, I got behind in the whole nf/selections this weekend but after getting all caught up(so many songs put out this past week/weekend >_<) I think my favorite song at the moment(offical songs as my favorite is still in the selection phase) is Latvia's. I dunno why I like it so much but I do. Overall rankings are still shifting regularly and will drastically change as we get more so as and after revamps of course… but that said here's my top six atm after relistening to all the songs: 1. Latvia – love Samanta's attitude and confidence while performing,… Read more »
I don’t have a favourite right now, so I picked Albania, Australia and Italy.
Albania: song I find most pleasent and emotional (what i like) and expect a good revamp from
Australia: best studio cut, but live performance let me down a bit
Italy: gives me chills and has the best overall package for now
But I don’t think we heard the winner yet
They are all as bad as each other. time something good’s coming in!
I’ve totally stopped looking at the Wiwi polls, because they are every year the same and not reliable at all.
Everyone is hyping over Albania; Australia 2nd, probably just because it’s Australia because admit it: the staging was a mess and the song is just a regular pop song; Latvia getting more votes than Spain?
People, including the authors on Wiwibloggs have to be more critical and they shouldn’t find every entry that amazing.
Blah Blah Blah.
Last year, I was a huge fan of Albania and I thought they had a well deserved place in the Grand Final.
17 is not the best but I’m so happy Albania went to the final
I relistened all songs yesterday and my top 3 are: Australia, Czech Republic and Spain – not exactly in that oder, because I can’t decide which of these songs I like more, since I like each of them for different reason. I guess for now Australia is winning for me?
Also – I’m curious about the Czech and Albanian revamps.
Blas Canto does it for me. Good looking, nice song. Finally a good song from Spain. That lasted way too long! Pastora Soler was the last amazing entry. And that was 2012!!! If Blas can sing, which I don’t know yet, he can win this and take Eurovision to Spain!
Hope he nails it. Let’s hear it at Eurovision in Concert in Amsterdam on April 4th! ?
Latvia has a good song too. A totally different thing, which I like.
Competition is coming if Anna’s Kingdom comes to Eurovision! ?
What about Dancing in the Rain? It was fenomenal

Spain! uNIVERSO IS THE WINNER FOR ME
Only Italy is good for me atm. Lots of Love from Azerbaijan!
At this moment Spain is my favourite entry. I hope they’ll archieve their best result in a long time.
I know I’m gonna get hate and lots of minuses now, but the only decent song is Spain ¯\_(?)_/¯
Agree. For me Samanta Tina is the winner, but, looks like, she wont qualify, if she wont start working with her show and dancing.
You should use more secure voting polls. These ones are so easly riggable, i can right now make Kemama the winner with 2000+ votes.
Lol true
8 hours later and we’re all still waiting for you to award 2000+ votes to Kemama. Hurry up!
Carola, get a life.
Albania for me , she deserves this time .
Lul, albania jumped from the 4th place to the 1st in like 2 hours.
Still Albania for me
I voted Australia and Italy. I don’t mind the others, however I need more time with those songs.
People voting for Italy just because of it is Italy omg
Ooo – The poll is close. I am happy with all of these, except one. (Don’t try and guess it.)
Just Italy for me now.
