So on the off chance you are wanting to know who Black Daisy and Sinead Mulvey are up against this year, the nice people at eurovision.tv are putting all the entries for this year's contest into a handy YouTube playlist.

Click to see the video

Country by Country verdict of the songs:

Montenegro: Repetative bilge. "get out of my, out of my out of my out of my life. That was a waste of three minutes.
Czech Republic: There was an act either last year or the year before which had a web address as it's title. some some forgettable opera singers with .lv in their name. Looks like the Czech's are trying it now with Gypsy.cz. Crazy polka type song, crap though
Belgium: Interesting Elvis pisstake. Copycat is an homage to the King of Rock'n'Roll by the look of it.
Belarus: Ever wanted to know what happened to He-Man. Click here to find out.
Sweden: Opera singer doing the chorus is good, camp male vocalist singing the verses is crap.
Armenia: It isn't Eurovision without at least one song with roaring and shouting acompanied by drums.
Andorra: Someone going after the Hanna Montana vote. Wish some of these people would pick a language for their song and stick to it though.
Switzerland: Here's an interesting one, sort of Pet Shop Boys or Lighning Seeds thing going on there. Click to Watch
Turkey: Wasn't this song entered before? If not is sounds alot like one that was.
Israel: Trovia Singer won't like this one. Arabic in an Israeli song! How dare thay! Personally it is one of Israel's better entrants in my opinion. Worth another listen. Click.
Bulgaria: Camp garbage. High pitched male voice has so been done before.
Iceland: Another interesting song. A little Gloria Estefan feel to it me thinks. Lets hope they can gather the few bob to send her to Moscow though. Click.
Former Yougoslav Republic of Macedonia: Lasted about one minute and twenty seconds before turning this muck off.
Romania: Well the official video features a collection of men in wigs and skirts, The song is muck, can't imagine the onstage presentation in May being eye popping if this is a sampler.
Finland: Waldo's People need to feck off and find Waldo before I do, especially if he is responsible for this muck.
Portugal: Boring. Will have my coffee break when this comes on.
Malta: Chiara's last entry, "Angel" was a great Eurovision entry. This one, however, is not that great. A case of Good Singer, Bad Song. click.
Bosnia Hertzegovina: Zzzzzzzzzz. Second cup of coffee before the results.
Croatia: Well if I am late for the second semi final, I won't have missed much.
Ireland: This will wake them up! Ireland for the Win.
Latvia: I haven't a clue what they're saying, but it's loud and I like it. click.
Serbia: A smiley little git with a melodeon means a crap sone can't be far away.
Poland: I don't like it, it may grow on me though it is that type of a song. click.
Norway: Would be surprised if this didn't do well. click.
Cyprus: The jury's out on this one. Most of the times cyprus sends an interesting entry. This entry is interesting. click.
Slovakia: Thank you, Next!
Denmark: Ronan Keating wannabe click.
Slovenia: Singing starts 1:06 into song, you don't see the singer until 2:20. a bit crap for a three minute song.
Hungary: Boring.
Azerbaijan: Probably one of the ones to beat in the semi-final. click.
Creece: It's okay I suppose.
Lithuania: Boring
Moldova: She can sing, but her excessive yowling like a drowning cat is irritating. click.
Albania: If your a betting person, you might want to put money on this one, aparantly, this is where the Eastern Europeans want Eurovision to go in 2010. click.
Ukraine: crap.
Estonia: Finally, something that isn't crap click.
Netherlands: Our Crap Free moment was shortlived click.
France: First of the five countries guaranteed a place in the final. boring, last year's entry was better.
Russia: Best sang after a few vodkas by the sound of it. click.
Germany: They usually have an interesting entry each year. This is not one of them.
United Kingdom: Jade thinks it's her time. It might be too. At least it's is better than that Ryanair shite they sent in 2007. click.
Spain: Bringing the tedium to an end with a mediocre entry.

Don't forget to put a side bet on Albania if Ireland doesn't win.
