Armenia
Aram MP3  
"Not Alone"
The lyrics of the song don't have much of a story, so neither does this video.  The visuals grab you, however, especially the us of light and color.  So while the video doesn't really explain the song (with few words, what's to explain), but you can't turn your eyes away either.


András Kállay-Saunders    "Running"
One of the more powerful songs in the competition has one of the more powerful videos.  Adrás said the idea of the song was to raise awareness of domestic violence, which the song and video do.  The video adds to the lyrics and works well with the beat of the song.  The smile on the very beautiful child at the end leaves the viewer with the feeling, that, yes, it will be all right.  


Firelight "Coming Home"
What's not to like about a song and video that celebrate the pull of making it home when soldiers are away at war.    The video is particularly noting the 100th anniversary of the start of First World War, but the sentiments are the same throughout time and place.   

Sergej  Ćetković "Moj Svijet"
In this cinematic video, the beautiful music is matched with stunning scenery, while the  longing of the words is matched in the story, if you can call it that.   Is the child a young Sergej?  I like that the scene changes are not constant like other videos, allowing you to enjoy the good camera work.  





Poland 
Donatan and Cleo "My Słowianie - We Are Slavic"
I find it impossible to watch this video without at least smiling if not laughing out loud.  The visuals fit the music perfectly.  The color is lavish and the cleavage--well--ample.  Even though I am not found of the song, the video is so much fun, you over look the music and just get caught up in its over the top nature.  While I am not sure this is the favorite of any feminist group out there, I think its subtle parody makes a point of its own.  
Sebalter  "Hunter of Stars"
Just exactly what the video has to do with the words, I'm not sure, but like with Poland, they had a lot of fun making it I'm sure.  Here again, the fun is infectious and who cares about the music.  


THE WINNER:
POLAND
What can we say other than, "More butter.  More tits."
