1. Bosnia Herzegovina

Singer: Marija Sestic
Song: Rijeka Bez Imena


The final of the Eurovision Song Contest is opening up with a ballad from Marija Sestic, representing Bosnia Herzegovina. The ballad is about a lost love. A very sad one indeed but the melody is beautiful. It has a little folk sound or if not exactly folk, I little something that reminds you of the country at the very background.

The video depicts what seems to be a post-war story. Marija's selection of costumes and the boat. I must admit I like the way the crew have been turned into musicians on the boat for the video. Wonder how many she will have on stage accompanying her on the night.

2. Spain

Singer: NASH
Song: I Love You Mi Vida


After Bosnia Herzegovina's quite ballad we immediately go into an up-beat Spanish Pop song performed by NASH. Well although there is some small traces of Spanish beats, this year the Spanish entry has moved away from the usual latin feel.

NASH are already a group and definitely there performance on stage will be a co-ordinated boy-band effort. The video has a black andwhite gimmick which seems to work well with the 4 young men. I wonder if they would consider having yellow and red to represent the Spanish flag?...we'll see.
