A class act, and wonderful singer, she has great stage presence. Definitely, Las Vegas material. I hope she wins! Move over Celine Dion, here comes Magdelena Tul!

Haba Haba has got to be the single most popular song of the Eurovision Song Contest of 2011! Without a doubt, its hugely popular in cyberspace!! Love it! Love it! Love it!

She is a Powerhouse Singer with a great deal of passion in her songs, and in its interpretation.  Her music and performance left me spellbound.

Great Song! Great Band! Great Rock! This is the Best of Rock music! Fantastic!

What can one say about a singer who is a teenage "heart-throb"? The camera loves him, and so does every squealing teenage girl in the audience. One difference, though, Saade has loads of talent! In his video, he presents one of the most dynamic and original stage performances I have yet seen - the glass smashing incident is totally wild! Eric, you have nothing to worry about - you are definitely Popular!!

At first I thought the tall cone hats were far too bizzare for my taste, but listen to this band! They have amazing talent - music, lyrics, and stage presence. Loads of fun and simply unforgettable!! I like the unicycle act and the bursts of fire on stage and utter madness, mayhem and insanity! I am playing this song on my birthday!

She is loaded with talent, and performs her song with power and passion! She sings from the soul. A true artist!  Definitely a force to be reckoned with! 

Loucas Yiorkas does not disappoint and delivers a powerful, emotional performance on stage with Greek flair and panache.  Unfortunately he allows himself to be upstaged by Stereo Mike

whose rendition of rap (sung in English) leaves much to be desired.  I love rap when its performed well, but I ended up counting the seconds until Stereo Mike was finished with his little refrain. But thankfully, Loucas outshines his stage side-kick.

More twins at Eurovision! Is it a coincidence or is there a secret conspiracy!  These two young fellows have the kind of stage energy that can only be described as Atomic! Double that (pardon the pun) with a great song, and novelty hair - and you have a hit in the making! Mothers, lock up your daughters!! Jedward is dangerous!!

From the very moment the first note resonated from his lips, the audiences around the world (and I) were spellbound. His voice is truly a gift from God and his video is one of the most memorable among a slew of talented artists. Sheer Perfection - with classical features to match. The question is, can an operatic singer win a pop song contest?

There are so many other participants worthy of mention but it was impossible to include them all at this late juncture. Their omission is certainly not meant as an offense in any way. I have presented music videos of each of the 43 contestants, and provided links to where one may read more about each artist. I hope you have enjoyed them, and that you will log on and watch the semi-finals and finals!!
