My wish list for next year:
AUSTRIA

Elly V

Vocally probably better than Zoë to whom she lost in the preselection this year. The choreography of her performance was on top. I hope for something similar next year with a much better song.
GERMANY

Tom Beck

Not only very attractive but also musically a revelation - he can play many instruments. And a good actor of course.
FRANCE

Louane

Avenir was a huge hit across Europe. Why not send someone after Amir who performed really well to keep the course for France? She may even perform better than Zoë.
UK

Rita Ora

Probably less for her music but internationally known with slavic heritage. May do better than Engelbert Humperdinck, Electro Velvet and Joe and Jake.
Sweden

Eric Saade

He placed 3rd in 2010 with a basic typical Euro-Song. Why not come back with something modern, danceable after 7 years that can outdo 'Popular'?
Switzerland

Stefanie Heinzmann

She's like the swiss Joss Stone who embodies Poprock with a lot of soul. After Rykka this is a safe choice.
Ireland

Hozier

Who doesn't know his epic song 'Take me to church'? Something in the same league could do wonders for him and get Ireland a good place again after all these flop entries.
Ukraine

Alyosha

Another returnee from 2010 I'd like to see compete again. A good representant for the hosting country.
Australia

Vanessa Amorosi

You may know her hit song in the late 90s 'Absolutely Everybody' which made her a star over night. After years where she vanished from the pop business she could rise again for Australia.
Norway

Maria Mena

Relatively known in Europe she had a few moderate hits and a voice of an angel. If anything ballads are her strength.
Netherlands

Within Temptation

Very well known across the metal scene and the obligatory rockband in the contest. Sharon den Adel has a lot to offer vocally and together they can receive a top position similar to the Common Linnets and Douwe Bob.
