More entries for the Eurovision this year have been released such as Attention by Ulrikke Brandstorp (Norway):
And The Best In Me by Tom Leeb (France)
The Norwegian entry generated controversy because it ended up in the superfinal (known as the "goldfinal") by the way of the back-up jury of the Melodi Grand Prix (the Norwegian national finals) which was not even known to exist for this year's national finals until the online voting for this year's MGP unexpectedly crashed, which caused NRK (the Eurovision broadcaster for Norway) to use the said jury's votes to determine the superfinalists instead. Do note that the voting for this year's MGP is supposed to be through online voting. Nevertheless, the song itself is quite good.
The French entry on the other hand generated controversy because some fans claim that France's entry is a dated ballad that's better off winning Eurovision if it were sent in the early 2000s. However, the most major controversy came from the fact that the French Minister of Culture himself was not impressed with the song and made his feelings about it known during a Parliamentary session.
Meanwhile, Iceland's national finals is taking an interesting turn as one of its front runners, IVA, decided that she will sing her entry in Icelandic for the final round (instead of English, which was her initial decision). This is how her song sounds like in Icelandic:
Meanwhile in the Polish national finals, only one finalist has released his song. Albert Cerny (of Lake Malawi, Czech Republic 2019) decided to enter his band's song "Lucy" to the final round. If he wins, the song will be Poland's entry to Eurovision this year.
The song is actually inspired by Lucy Ayoub, one of the hosts of the Eurovision last year. If that song ends up being Poland's entry, Israel might help Poland qualify into the finals of the Eurovision this year.
