I Like our entry a lot :beat: so melancholic
San Marino's song, i am ashamed to say it but Stripper gives me Gary Glitter vibes all over in the instrumentals  and i don't want to be reminded by paedo glitter

and yes Anders Bagge is a familiar name, quite a big name
not as a singer, but as a composer he worked for artists like Westlife, Janet Jackson, Celine Dion, Madonna, Santana, Jennifer Lopez, Anastacia, Nick Lachey, Jessica Simpson, Samantha Mumba, Lara Fabian, Enrique Iglesias, Ace of Base and Ashley Tisdale he composed Azerbaijan's 2010 (Drip Drop) and 2012 (When the Music Dies) entries and he has been a jury member on Swedish version of Idols |

first year i won't even bother looking at the results, considering Ukraine have already won
 imagine sending sympathy votes to a lighthearted fun song  how low can you goJamala's sympathy support for 1944 was very deserving compared to this years winning song Stefania, more impactful, powerful message etc but well my favourites never win so, i will just watch for the sake of entertainment my favourites are Malta's Emma Muscat, she is such a superstar  Cyprus's Andromachi, superstar greek queen and of course getting my support because i am TeamEyelar still and her being in the composer team is just wow and what surprised me France well breton language is for sure interesting, and anything what oozes FIFA soundtrack potential vibes i love too Australia, Sheldon representing autistic people like me in this contest

one big post incoming now
------------------------------------ Semi Final 1 Albania: one of the few upbeat songs with quite a catchy hook, their revamp includes more english lyrics, some albanian and some spanish lyrics Bulgaria: one to draw in the 50+ age groups for sure, very solid rock song but very oldfashioned either, is a nice one if ur a fan of Toto, Simon Phillips is in this supergroup too Latvia: first of the quirky entries inspired by Iceland's success last year, and they want us to eat our vegetables, wasn't my favourite in the NF and there were stronger quirky fun options in the NF, but this can do well Lithuania: lithuanian language being back for first time since 1994 when they scored a 0 points at their debut and never went fully in lithuanian ever since, this one has a very french vibe too bit a la christine and the queens meets 1920's speakeasy vibe Moldova: they're back, after 2005 and 2011 this is Zdob si Zdub their third attempt and this is a folklore rock song about a train journey from chisinau to bucharest Netherlands: very moody dutch ballad, representing the current nederpop scene very well, de diepte means The Depth as in overcoming mental health issues Slovenia: iceland last year but then in slovene, by our youngest contestants of this year they first won EMA Fres (newbies section) and then their national final amongst more well known names to fly off to Turin for them Switzerland: Boys do Cry, well if only the singer had more emotion like Michael Schulte had in 2018, then this wouldn't be as much of a disappointment after 2 strong years (2019, 2021) for them Ukraine: ethno folk, rap fun song, the bookies favourite not sure why if you ask me, this is not a winner at all, would deserve a nice 5th-8th place in the final though Armenia: very american indie pop song, quite refreshing to see this good quality indie pop coming from armenia, very current too Austria: DJ Lum!x is one of austria's most popular and upcoming DJ stars, Pia Maria is making her debut in this contest at just 18 years old no previous music experience, and song wise heavily reminds you of Ava Max and especially So Am I Croatia: the croatian Taylor Swift, strong 1989 album vibes, she is a good performer as well Denmark: from danish language last year to going for a all female rockband which is also very nice on its own, song wise quite a average denmark esc entry Greece: a song about death in times of a covid pandemic and a war in ukraine, well that is inappropriate, the singer though is very talented, strong london grammar, birdy vibes Iceland: icelandic language is so magical, the song by 3 sisters is composed by one of their biggest stars Lay Low who toured with Of Monsters and Men, and the song oozes a strong First Aid Kit vibe Norway: when masked singer meets eurovision, very strong storytelling of these characters and very very catchy bop ready for the tiktoks Portugal: portugal being portugal going for something very original, oldschool, nice mix of english and portuguese, very strong live performer too ---------- Semi Final 2 Australia: you can really notice his influences include Boy George, this song not the same is about Sheldon's whole life so far and is very strong in terms of emotion, passion and superb vocals Azerbaijan: very much a case of copy/paste from old esc songs (bit of sound of silence, bit of arcade, bit of silent storm) very unauthentic and is a german nf reject Cyprus: very greek ethno midtempo ballad, first time of them in greek again since 2013, 10 composers for this entry and Andromache is a very good singer, performer Finland: ICONIC rockband best known for global hit In The Shadows, yes The Rasmus are back, only problem Jezebel is a very mediocre song, one of its composers also was behind Bonnie Tyler's believe in me Georgia: georgia being typically georgia, in a league of their own with a very decent but not competitive at all quirky pop-rock entry Israel: a song which belongs in Drag Race more than in ESC, the Slavko of this year, very fun but chanceless when it comes to results Malta: generic maybe, dated maybe, but overall a very happy, uplifting song, and these times are perfect for these anthemic self-love songs, Emma Muscat is maltese, plays piano since age of 5 and has duetted with tenor Joseph Calleja and famous italian artist Eros Ramazzotti in her still very young career so far, she is quite a superstar of a singer, performer San Marino: another one who is very famous in italy, Achille Lauro he took part also in italy sanremo this year before taking part in sanmarinese national final and this song its chorus reminds you of gary glitter songs, typical glamrock song Serbia: very weird song, a first for ESC are lyrics in latin, but the handwashing choreo is weird to see, vocally she is a serbian lady gaga for me personally in places Belgium: huge no already is chorus which is a cheap copy of Michael Jackson's Dirty Diana, starts off with a bond tune like Conchita's rise like a phoenix Czech Republic: very solid EDM banger, could have potential to be this years big summer hit and Dominika, well fun facts she is daughter of Ice Hockey goalie ''Dominator'' Dominik Hasek Estonia: nice western vibes, bit of a ennio morricone vibe too in instrumentals, solid country vocals and a cowboy duel on stage Ireland: dua lipa inspired pop song by a familiar face for people from UK, finalist of the voice uk Montenegro: anthemic covid pandemic awareness song, also why breathing is the most important thing in everyone's life, very nice english balkan ballad North Macedonia: very nice ballad by one with a very authentic recognizable voice Poland: Krysztian Ochman is grandson of famous tenor Wieslaw Ochman, very nice gospel ballad, but has strong similarities to 2019 winner Arcade Romania: latin pop songs are extremely popular in romania, Llámame means call me and i think many women want to do that after his very sexy performance with this song which could be a huge latin pop hit Sweden: sweden sending a female singer again for a change, also not with their usual pop songs but with a very authentic ballad, strong contender to win Big 5 Italy: returning act here Mahmood (2019 Soldi) but this time he brought a new rising star Blanco with him, a song about love, Brividi France: no song in french but in breton, very much perfect combo of ethnic and dance pop, this can make them again do well very anthemic too Germany: his father is tv presenter, actor Ricky Harris from Detroit, germans trying to recreate their 2018 success with Michael Schulte, but i'm not sure about this one Spain: former backing dancer for Shakira at 2010 MTV Ema's, and also very popular actress in films, series and musicals in spain, born in havana, cuba and moved to barcelona with her family when she was 3, the song is a reject by Jennifer Lopez, very strong latin pop uptempo UK: the british their best entry in recent years, can avoid bottom half for sure, maybe similar result as Blue in 2011 could be realistic |

so far amazing at the pre-parties are
Poland, Australia, Malta, Norway, Serbia, Albania, Armenia disappointing are: Austria (LOL), Montenegro (strong low notes but disgustingly bad high notes), Czech Republic (earpain on those high notes), Ireland (Brooke is lovely but the whole thing comes across as very amateurishly performed, and not always the best vocals) meh: North Macedonia (good vocals but nothingness of a song, i feel nothing with Circles) Belgium mixed, sometimes good, sometimes a bit mediocre but he is going through extra vocal training, song is not my cup of tea though the whole Bond/R&B fusion
