My comments :p :)
01) Stanaj – Loved everything about this. Stunning voice. Stunning atmosphere. I ADORE THIS. What a strong way to start this contest. :D
02) Nicole Cross – I like this. It’s a little too bouncy for my tastes, but her voice is solid enough and the chorus isn’t terrible…a little cheesy…but certainly not terrible. :p
03) Tiziano Ferro – This sounds like you’re walking up a muddy hill and getting more and more stuck with every step…just me? Kelly Rowland can’t actually save this cheesy mess. :p
04) Jacob Banks – Oh wow. Such a great voice! I’m not overly impressed with the beats, but his voice is amazing. I’m torn as I’m not sure if I would listen to this a lot, but for now it’s really standing out. :)
05) Nina – LOVE THIS! LOVE THIS! LOVE THIS! Oh my goodness, was so surprised. I love the delicate nature to her voice, almost like she is going to cry soon. LOVE!
06) Reigan – Really sweet :) I preferred the sweet verses, but the chorus isn’t bad at all. Yeah, just a chilled out song. :)
07) Dan Balan – I really like this one as well. I love eighties music and this sounds so like that in places. Like you could easily sneak this in after Heaven17 or The Human League and it wouldn’t be out of place. I LOVE THIS!
08) Grey – This is easily one of my favourite contests of the year so far! EASILY and we’re only at song 8. Again, I really like this song. I think I’ve heard this on the radio, so it will most likely be a hit soon. True to form, I do not like the altered voices. They just aren’t needed.
09) Anna Känzig – The verses are fantastic and the chorus is just a little lacklustre…I like the doo doo doo noises though. :p Yeah another really good entry. Love this contest tbh. :p :)
10) Lana Del Rey – Valentina wore the hair better. I love Lana, but she can’t stand up to some of the songs here and that is surprising. It’s good, but not ticking all the boxes for me.
11) MISSIO – I had to listen to this twice as it didn’t really make an impact the first time, I think that speaks volumes. :p yawn…trying to be edgy and it isn’t. Not keen on this one at all tbh.
12) Harper – Shaking my arse on the sofa to this one. I like Harper and this is no different. :) Really good actually, I love the chorus in particular even though it is a little repetitive.
