Follow Your Arrow
Eres Tu

Follow Your Arrow is the only song I love in this group. Like most people on this site, I generally can't stand modern country music, but this song is really clever and pleasant. One of the best of its kind.

Eight easy decisions for me.

4. Khaled - Aïcha
vs.
15. Dave Edmunds - Girls Talk

14. Jackson Browne - These Days
vs.
8. Cher - Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)

9. Tex Williams & His Western Caravan - Smoke! Smoke! Smoke! (That Cigarette)
vs.
1. Electronic - Disappointed

3. Everything But the Girl - Wrong
vs.
10. Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell - Your Precious Love

12. Lionrock - Rude Boy Rock
vs.
2. The Smiths - Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before

7. Echo and the Bunnymen - Lips Like Sugar
vs.
13. Bee Gees - I Started a Joke

5. Prince - Black Sweat
vs.
11. Kacey Musgraves - Follow Your Arrow

6. The Slits - I Heard It Through the Grapevine
vs.
16. Mocedades - Eres Tú

I'm surprised to see "Eres Tú" doing so well. I hate to critizice what might be the only Spanish song in the game, but I don't think this song should even exist. The chorus is so similar to Michel Polnareff's "À minuit, à midi", that I don't think it should have been allowed for the Eurovision Song Contest. At least nowadays the ESC rules about similarities with other songs are quite hard.
