Nicky's Preview of Semi 2
01) Malta
Quote:
if there is a song out there what could've been featured on the Burlesque movie soundtrack, it's this one, obviously also inspired by Chanel SloMo, the lovely Sarah brings a very charismatic, sexy performance, including some tricky dance moves and a actual loop with help by some hunky male dancers, will she got you on loo-o-o-p after this, maybe
|
02) Albania
Quote:
the original was in Albanian, which won Festival I Kenges 62 titled Zemren N'Dore, now its called TiTan, this is a albania by the numbers generic english ballad, what we are used of them, their devamps, and that uptempo bit near the end, we don't know why that is even in there
|
03) Greece
Quote:
Marina Satti is their answer to Rosália, she likes to fuse traditional greek sounds with other balkan or arab elements, Zari has a very infectious beat which easily makes us fall in love with the greek culture, without coming across dated at all, this could be a dark horse
|
04) Switzerland
Quote:
whereas Ireland gets away with Bambie Thug's act, Nemo on the other hand is very undeservedly overhyped in the odds, they blend operatic music with rap and indie pop which comes across as a confusing mess of genres, and to relate to this song, you need to be non-binary, so i doubt many people will get what this song is about
|
05) Czechia
Quote:
Tesco Avril Lavigne at a stretch, but with very weak vocals
also some Olivia Rodrigo - Good 4 You vibes
this is cesky rock, alternative rock, pop rock all blended in one song
you either love it, or you hate it, no inbetween here
|
AQ) France
Quote:
Mon Amour is as french as you can have it, super cute love ballad, proper vocals, and Slimane has the support of french president Macron
another Voilá in the makings?
|
06) Austria
Quote:
this is a dance banger for all ages, so here it is time for even the grannies to get up and join this 90s eurodance rave, fun fact this girl has been a stand in artist for Eleni Foureira in 2018 with ''Fuego'' and we deffo know she'll bring the fire for her rave party
|
07) Denmark
Quote:
by the numbers radio friendly pop song, this seems like it could've been featured on one of the Dune films their soundtracks, playing with Sand, this refugee can sell sand very well
|
08) Armenia
Quote:
this is 100% pure armenian, very ethnic, very feel good, very FIFA soundtrack vibe, non-competitive but that has its charm in multiple ways sometimes, and the singer Jaklin has the most likeable, loveable stage presence ever, and the french Louis Thomas is quite a multitalent as well
|
09) Latvia
Quote:
Dons loves many power ballads, he is a huge fan of Queen, Mariah Carey, Bryan Adams, David Bowie
his song ''Hollow'' is a simplistic yet super solid pop ballad, fans of solid singing will definitely love this
fun fact Dons has tried to go to ESC 4 times before
|
AQ) Spain
Quote:
visually wise this seems like spanish version of Roxette, but instead of pop-rock, a spanish synthpop one, the word ''Zorra'' means Vixen or 'Bitch so lucky they sing in spanish otherwise we would all understand this insult
it is a very uplifting catchy modern song, spanish answer to Dua Lipa maybe
|
10) San Marino
Quote:
Megara tried out for Spain in 2023 with the song ''Arcadia'' they failed back then, now this year they went to San Marino's selection round with ''11:11'' and they were successful, their entry is a spanish break-up song, rock what Kenzy, Rober and other members call ''Fuchsia Rock'' the song has no doubt/gwen stefani vibes, the performance however has anime vibes, very dynamic, colourful and it has been produced by one of Spain producers last year for Blanca Paloma's Eaea
|
11) Georgia
Quote:
spoiler alert for Mock, but this girl recently tried out for American Idol, with successes, she made it to the liveshows over there, now she represents her own nation, with a song composed by macedonian eurovision veteran Darko Dimitrov, firefighter, it is a sexy ethnic dance-pop bop in english, with georgian elements in the instrumentals
the dancers are italians, the performance is also choreographed by a sanremo veteran choreographer
|
12) Belgium
Quote:
Wallonia's turn this year
how to describe this entry, it is a very Bond vibe type of power ballad, Mustii's performing style is sort of similar to how Freddie Mercury performed, vocally he is similar to Talk Talk or OMD
fun fact: Mustii is one of judges from Drag Race Belgique
|
13) Estonia
Quote:
the song with the longest title in eurovision history i think, 5Miinuust are a popular hip hop group of today, quite a big name in the country, while Puuluup are two 50+ nu folk singers, the song is about them not knowing anything about these drugs, it is a very infectious crazy party bop with a very entertaining choreo
when two generations of young and old come together united by music (perfect for eurovision me thinks with our slogan)
|
AQ) Italy
Quote:
La Noia means ''Boredom''
Angelina Mango, her father late producer Mango (whom composed for many famous italian artists among those Andrea Bocelli, Patty Pravo, Loredana Berté) and her mother is Laura Valente, lead vocalist of Matia Bazar a pop band
her song has nice summer vibes, caribbean vibes, all in all very uplifting and yes italy is once again in a contender position
|
14) Israel
Quote:
very by the numbers empowering pop ballad, Eden definitely showcasing she has divine vocals, can hit high notes with such ease, one of the best ballads we've heard so far in eurovision history, and the hebrew at the end makes the whole thing complete, this is a contender
|
15) Norway
Quote:
Fandom: We Want Nightwish in ESC
Norway be like: we have a sort of similar act to Nightwish over here, Gåte are a folk rock band who use medieval norwegian language for their songs, Ulveham which means ''Wolf Howl'' has a very anthemic feel as well to its instrumentals, and Gunnhild herself said about singing this song feels like giving birth to your child, well that must be one amazing child, Gunnhild is a vocal powerhouse similar to Floor Jansen
this is a definite dark horse for a surprise result
|
16) Netherlands
Quote:
Brexiteers be triggered :fan: because this is a EU remain anthem, very clever to use other languages besides dutch too, such as english, german, italian, french, spanish, it also is very ethnic, the gabber/hardcore finale is a very typical dutch genre of the 00s composed by the brilliant dj Paul Elstak whom is known for this kind of sound
there also at the end is a emotional moment (the outro of the song) it is in dutch but is confirmed it will be subtitled on screen for translation purposes
