Since it's still off-season – the first songs for 2014 will be selected in December –, I was listening to some favorites of mine that did not win their national finals in previous years and therefore didn't go to Eurovision.

I must admit that I usually only follow the national pre-selections in the Nordic and Baltic countries. Exceptions have of course occurred.

Adelén - Bombo

Norway 2013 – 2nd place in the national pre-selection – it's pure trash but so much fun

http://youtu.be/VF9PJVoZbvc

Nora Foss-Al Jabri - Somewhere Beautiful

Norway 2012 - 3rd place in the national pre-selection

http://youtu.be/qTYsvQALckE

Zlata Ognevich - The Kukushka

Ukraine 2011 - among the 3 finalists - Zlata represented Ukraine in 2013 and finished 3rd

http://youtu.be/Nd_N6VsdIuQ

Esma & Lozano - Imperija

Macedonia 2013 - the song was replaced before the contest

http://youtu.be/ofB4nvQvZPI

Lauris Reiniks - Banjo Laura

Latvia 2011 - 2nd place in the national pre-selection

http://youtu.be/2Hjz5n0H9l8

The list could probably go on forever...

I admit.. I find "Tick Tock" quite catchy. I'll be anxious to see the rest of the entries. That girl can really sing!

Our national selection will begin next Saturday with the first of four qualification heats, eventually leading up to a big final on March 8th.

The biggest name competing this year is undoubtedly Elena Paparizou, who won the Eurovision Song Contest for Greece in 2005, and also represented Greece in 2001. This time she will try her luck here in Sweden. She was born here, but her parents are from Greece.

Other well-known names are Martin Stenmarck, who represented Sweden in the ESC 2005, and Alcazar, making their 5th attempt in the Swedish selection.

Poor Elena Paparizou only went to MF's Andra Chansen – who would have thought.

I hope Sweden sends either Sanna or Alcazar.

I think Germany will either send Unheilig or Santiano... the other 6 participants of the national final – Oceana, The Baseballs, Elaiza, MarieMarie and Das gezeichnete Ich – only have an outside chance to win.
