Mentissa, Red Sebastian, Grace and Le Manou all have solid songs - the latter has a bit of a Show Me Love-esque riff.
Gloria is awful, her voice goes straight through me.
Not sure any of these are Eurovision winners, but Belgium are currently first in the odds. Presumably due to the hype around Red Sebastian but melodically it doesn't quite fully deliver for me. Great production though so maybe it will grow with more listens.
Edit: Just seen the live performance and he's brilliant, and it definitely does look like a big hit.

no big surprises here x red sebastian won!
I'm a cautious believer in some of the hype for this one - will definitely stand out whatever's in the mix in Basel, has potential televote and jury appeal and seems like Red Sebastian has a clear vision for the stage performance that the delegation can spend now until May refining.
I think this has to be able to do something in Basel, it's certainly got a bit of the sauce that successful entries in that vein have had before.
It's definitely their best chance for a hit from that selection, I do see it as a top ten, particularly with the current line-up. It's visually striking, the production is on point, he has a great voice, I could do with a more dynamic melody but it's got enough to it to do well.
I’m just so *whelmed* with this.
It’s decent enough and has striking visuals, but the song in itself is just a 7/10 at best.
