March 4, 20214 yr AMAZING 01 // CYPRUS: Elena Tsagrinou - "El Diablo" GREAT 02 // IRELAND: Lesley Roy - "Maps" GOOD 03 // ROMANIA: Roxen - "Amnesia" 04 // NORWAY: TIX - "Fallen Angel" 05 // CROATIA: Albina - "Tick-Tock" 06 // LITHUANIA: The Roop - "Discoteque" 07 // ISRAEL: Eden Alene - "Set Me Free" 08 // BELGIUM: Hooverphonic - "The Wrong Place" OKAY 09 // CZECH REPUBLIC: Benny Cristo - "Omaga" 10 // UKRAINE: Go_A - "Shum" 11 // FINLAND: Blind Channel - "Dark Side" BORING 12 // SLOVENIA: Ana Soklic - "Amen" 13 // ALBANIA: Anxhela Peristeri - "Karma" 14 // FRANCE: Barbara Pravi - "Voilà" 15 // SPAIN: Blas Cantó - "Voy a Quedarme" JUST BAD 16 // GERMANY: Jendrik - "I Don't Feel Hate" CYPRUS is the only one that's really caught my attention so far as a proper banger. I know it's a mess and a rip-off and all that but I still enjoy it and hope it's a banger on stage. I would have liked to see Sandro come back but I'm happy with this too. Last year Lesley was a grower for me and eventually became one of my favourites from 2020 but this time IRELAND come in guns blazin' with a great song that could very well see them back in the final! I might grow bored of this as time goes on or just the opposite, only time will tell. Quite a few potentials in the "good" group as these are all just songs I haven't really listened to enough to stan or anything but these all sound good to my ears. ROMANIA's song is much more instant for me than last year's "Alcohol You" which was a sleeper hit for me. Although I would have preferred either Atle or KEiiNO for NORWAY, TIX isn't half as bad as I thought he'd be. CROATIA has been over-hyped for sure but it's still a good song but I could easily see it flopping in the semi oops. LITHUANIA's new song is good but it still pales in comparison with "On Fire" and feels a little bit forced even? It's already growing on me though. ISRAEL had one of my absolute favourites last year but this year isn't quite as strong but it's still got potential. Hopefully Eden delivers a smash on the stage. Finally we have the first proper upgrade since last year as BELGIUM's song is already after only one listen much better than their snoozefest last year. Not sure if it'll resonate with Eurovision viewers though. The next group are all just okay. May go in either direction for me as time goes on. CZECHIA's song was not my fave last year so at least it's an improvement but it's still just kinda all over the place and not sure I'll like it. UKRAINE's Go_A are weird and quirky but that's part of the charm. Last year's entry was the good kind of weird, this year's entry .. I'm not sure if it's good or bad but I'm sure I'll either hate it or love it come May lol. Finally FINLAND did something very Finnish and sent a rock song that I'll probably be so tired of when Eurovision comes around but it's a good song still. I would have preferred Teflon Brothers but this is probably their best shot at a good result in Rotterdam. It's very mid-2000s Linkin Park. Next are the bores. These may well grow on me but at the moment I'm not a big fan. SLOVENIA's Ana Soklic is a great singer so my feelings may change when I see it live and the same goes for ALBANIA whose live performances usually win me over. FRANCE's reception has confused me a bit because I don't really get it lol, maybe I need to listen again. SPAIN had a decent song last year that was bound to flop so this boring entry is probably doomed for last place. Finally, yeah.. I don't think there's any need to discuss GERMANY's entry further. To swap out Ben Dolic (who topped my chart with his song) for this mess. CHOICES GERMANY. Edited March 4, 20214 yr by diva thin muffin
