Tangela

I’m still team Tourist History. Something Good Can Work is one of my favourite indie tracks of the decade :wub:

Had a listen to this today and enjoyed. Will revisit. Also like the George Fitz remix - though it feels like a completely different song!

Excited - the 2003 era was pretty interesting though personally the previous two albums to it are my favourites and 2 of my all time favourites that I still regularly revisit. Pharrell as producer though? :blink:

I’d say it’s likely heading out, based on Gromee ft Luke Meijer last year. A decent dance track with awful live vocals. The staging is the only thing that may save it.

I’d agree but I learned at the weekend he had something to do with that awful Chalice song that’s been in the charts :manson:

Oh go on - see how your first impressions differ to your longterm impressions :)

Really interesting entry and then the key change onwards is incredible. ANOTHER contender. Not sure we’ve ever had so many countries making this much effort before. Almost every single best pop song in the past year is coming from this contest 😱

Dua Lipa wishes she was releasing this as her new single tbh

This blows the Cypriot entry way out of the water. This is as good as any X-Factor winner’s first big release. I’d love to see this win and if Cyprus can come 2nd then Malta can return to such heights themselves.

Ugh, hated every second of that!

Oh my goodness, what a BANGAROO!!!

Did End Of Night not manage it?

I was hoping there’d be another single off this album first. Loved How Long Will This Last!

Oh I really like this! Love the staging as well. Love the backing singers being every bit a part of that performance too. Into my top 10 easily.

Think I might have to check out the Dave album based on that, danG! "Black" is excellent. THIS is the kind of rap music that deserves to do well.

Surprised this is doing nothing, it is great.

I do think this is a cool entry, I think it will grow on me by the time the contest comes around. I'm more than happy for more variety at the contest.

Better than Salvador? He may be an arrogant git, but... No... lol

I’m re watching 2003 tonight - would you please re post your 2003 ranking up to where you are so far? :D

Hmm I think ours is worse!

Any chance our revamp will involve changing the artist and song please? This is coming dead last I reckon. Embarrassing when compared to many of our European counterparts. Cue British fury that it only happened because of Brexit, yawn.

What a difference a week makes! I've got my rankings currently as: 1. SLOVENIA 2. NETHERLANDS 3. AZERBAIJAN 4. ITALY 5. DENMARK 6. NORWAY 7. SWITZERLAND 8. BELGIUM 9. CYPRUS 10. CZECH REPUBLIC 11. IRELAND 12. ESTONIA 13. FINLAND 14. SPAIN 15. ICELAND 16. LITHUANIA 17. LATVIA 18. ALBANIA 19. HUNGARY 20. PORTUGAL 21. GREECE 22. FRANCE 23. MOLDOVA 24. AUSTRALIA 25. SAN MARINO 26. ROMANIA 27. GERMANY 28. NORTH MACEDONIA 29. UNITED KINGDOM 30. BELARUS 31. AUSTRIA 32. POLAND 33. SERBIA 34. MONTENEGRO 35. GEORGIA 36. CROATIA

It's like a better "One Last Breath" (Greece the other year)?? Cliched lyrics and all that, but it builds nicely. Not one of my favourites but could grow.

This is very good, could grow to like it as much as I liked "Skeletons". Another potential winner. Can't believe how much this week has changed the landscape of this contest!
