It's the first Saturday after a very long time without any national final! It may feel empty and you want to go on with more Eurovision stuff in May, but we need to fill the time till the actual contest! This is what's going on in the next time!

All good things come to an end! Isn't it like that? Last week we had with Sweden and Lithuania the last countries with a national final. Some countries still had to release their Eurovision song like Malta and we still have one song (Bulgaria) to get presented on monday!

In the meantime till Eurovision the official Youtube channel updates all the competing songs and some countries even got a new version like Iceland.

Keeping the focus for now on the last national finals from last week! In Sweden we got a great final from Stockholm. I was watching the final with some friends and nobody was surprised, that Frans won the final, because he was the BIG favorite to win in Sweden. Even though he wasn't my favorite in Melodifestivalen, I'm still happy with the song and my fingers are crossed for Sweden :) Sweden is currently second in the odds after Russia, so my two big favorites are also again in the Top 2 with the odds!

Here we have the winning performance by Frans from the Final last week!

The final in Sweden had so much to offer next to the 12 competing acts!

Måns Zelmerlöw ♥, winner of the last year, was part of the interval act in Melodifestivalen, where he performed a new version of his winning song "Heroes" with a children choir! It was a magical performance that you have to check out ASAP! He also announced, that he is in the studio for some new music. Hopefully he'll release some music for Eurovision in May :)

Maybe you noticed, that we didn't had a single schlager song in the final this year, BUT the interval act in Melodifestivalen was full of some great songs of the past time! It would be awesome to get some similar interval acts in one of the Eurovision shows :) ENJOY <3

Coming back to the other country that had to select their act last Saturday was Lithuania! They didn't disappointed me, because they selected Donny Montell, who already represented his country in 2012 with "Love Is Blind", but his new song for Eurovision is muuuuuuch better <3 Thanks Lithuania!

We also got a huge presentation from Malta this week! Yeah you read right, I mean Malta! They had a national final earlier this year with Ira Losco taking part with two songs and she won with one of them, but the maltese channel decided to change the song after the national final and presented the new song + the video for it this week! This is "Walking On Water!

Really like Malta once again this year and I think they are quite save for the final, if she can pull it off live!

What's next? This week I also had my last real days at the evening school I was going to for 3 years and now I only have my finals left in April and May! Which means I don't have to travel that much anymore during the day and just have to learn my stuff. Therefore I will have some more time to bring you some amazing things the next weeks to make the waiting time till Eurovision less :D Reviews, Rankings, Interviews, Videos and more!

Stay tuned and don't forget to check out my current Top 10 HERE! Think it'll still change during the next weeks, though :P
