Well Semi 1 is going to have a lively start, all the songs picked so far are ballads!
 It's generic radio fodder and certainly doesn't live up to Guy and Dami. |

It's a bit better than Gotta Be You but he is just so drainingly boring
I would have bet money it'd have been a ballad and here we go.

I liked that more on first listen than It's Gotta Be You, it's not massively different but it's a pleasant song, room to grow too.

How pointless to give him a different song but one so similar rather than something up-tempo

See, I really didn't care for his winner's single so this is actually a slight improvement for me! Still only on the Okay-Good borderline for me and I doubt he's got the talents of someone like Dami Im (which in fairness, few human beings do) to elevate it in a live performance.
Sweden, Azerbaijan and Montenegro, it's ALL ON YOU! |

I'm struggling to see this top 10, if it does it will be like 9th because it's a year with little competition. If this was last year for example he'd have been eaten up. Unless he's drastically improved since X Factor, he has 0 stage presence and charisma, he's very much like a Voice contestant rather than X Factor.

I never really raved over Tonight Again or Sound Of Silence like everyone else did, but this is nevertheless a significant step down in quality, at least in terms of performer and melody. I can't envisage another top five finish for them.
Even the big guns are really sending underwhelming entries this year, I don't know what's going on. *cue Sweden selecting Nano* |

I'm relying on Serbia for a banger tbh, of course we have Wiktoria from Sweden which really should get the ticket but this is such a lacklustre year and Australia delivered one of the final blows :/

I'm alright with it, he's got a fairly compelling voice and it's well-produced.
My main problem is he's become the latest of thousands of singers to market himself with another personality-sucking mononym. Firebrace is a second name that really stands out and no, Isaiah isn't the most common name either but it's a missed opportunity. |

I was hoping it was going to be It's Gotta Be You in the end, I'd really grown to love that and it could've been on for a top 3 finish. That said, I like this song too and perhaps it will grow on me like his first single has done.
I actually think this is a better studio version song that Dami ever was, it took ages to get used to the over repetitive and slightly clunky Sound of Silence chorus whereas this feels more natural. I also love his voice, it is very Sam Smith but without the high-pitched whine that Sam sometimes has. From what Liam says, I doubt Isaiah will match Dami's live performance but I can see this low top 10 in the final at the moment. Iz are you referring to poor Emma of Finland

I don't get why you'd want to make yourself fade even more into the background with a short and less memorable name. And Isaiah here doesn't even have the excuse that his full name 'looks boring'. |

Judging by eurovision.tv, Anja Nissen is dropping her last name for Kyiv too!

any criticism of Sound of Silence will result in a 0 in the Buzzrate.
