The national selections are going on or starting up in various countries and I won't be reporting of all of them before there is some solid interesting things to tell. However, today's news is that Azerbaijan is sticking to its selection method. It has brought them success, and most of all leaves the door open to the broadcaster to pick up basically whoever they want in the end, or even pair them up, and most importantly go and buy the song elsewhere after filling a lot of TV-time for all autumn-winter. After all, only their debut entry was an Azeri written song, the rest coming from Sweden. Now, that the contest is in Sweden, would they look elsewhere? I don't think so..... If you have scored four top-5 places with them in past four years.... The only excitement comes from from guessing if it's Stefan Örn and Sandra Bjurman AGAIN? Not that I'm pleased or agree...
The Azerbaijani selection show for the represant was as long as the selection process for the five finalists. Kurt Calleja from Malta and Can Bonomo from Turkey were present with Ell/Nikki to see Sabina Babayeva to emerge as the winner after each and every finalist had done about zillion songs amongst other guests. Now the Azeri TV will shop around a suitable song for her.
