Zoli Adok (Hungary/Magyar)Zoli was Hungary's third choice for Eurovision (two others dropped out), but luckily for us, we get to see his dance & acrobatic skills in Moscow. Plus, he dresses up as a sailor in his video and isn't shy of sequins or glitter it seems...
VERDICT: Take Me To Your Heaven
Niels Brinck (Denmark/Danmark)
Not bad for a ginge, though what is that neckerchief all about huh?
VERDICT: You're my lover, undercover
Alexander Rybak (Norway/Norge)
Little Alexander plays away on his violin during his song, and I think he's pretty cute.
VERDICT: Boom Bang-A-Bang!
Regina (Bosnia & Herzegovina/Bosna i Hercegovina)
Regina are a Bosnian rock band made up of Aleksandar, Bojan, Denis & Davor who have reunited, Take That style, for Eurovision 2009. I'm pleased they did.
VERDICT: Ooh, aah, just a little bit
Petr Elfimov (Belarus/Беларусь)
Underneath that astonishing hair "style" Petr might not be so bad... oh who am I trying to kid, he'd scare blind children away. And once he started singing, the deaf ones would be of too.
VERDICT: Save All Your Kisses For... someone else
Igor Cukrov (Croatia/Hrvatska)
I think he won the Croatian equivalent of Fame Academy, and his smile is cute enough. I quite like his Croatian swarthiness, even if his song is a bit of yawn-fest.
VERDICT: Every Way That I Can
Sakis Rouvas (Greece/Ελληνική)
I think pictures speak a thousand words here.
VERDICT: This Is Our Night
And, lastly, it's not always the main act that you should be watching...
Svetlana Loboda (Ukraine/Україна)
Whilst Svetlana isn't my bag, Ukraine has a good history of having some great backing dancers, and costumes aside, this year doesn't dissappoint...
VERDICT: Go Go Wild Dancers!
