FRANCE - AMIR "J'AI CHERCHE"
Elliot -
Catchy, fun, a really good effort from France! Potential top 10 - 8.5/10
James - An excellent, solid pop song that is perfect
for Eurovision and also for the summer! 9/10
Emily - What
can I say! My #1 of the whole contest: an enthusiastic singer, a catchy and
upbeat song with lots of potential! Absolutely stunning 10/10
Noa - Such an improvement France, way to go! Very
catchy pop song, I have a good feeling it will reach the top 5. 9/10
Rob -
Catchy, fun and Amir is so charismatic. The song is infectious and I hope it
does so well. 9.5/10
TOTAL SCORE:
46/50
FYR
MACEDONIA - KALIOPI "DONA"
Elliot - Not
bad, very Belinda Carlise "Not Alone" sounding to me but not loving
it - 5/10
James - Dated & disappointing from Kaliopi. I don't think her music is right for the nature of the contest in 2016. 5/10
Emily - One
of the only non-English songs this year and I have to say it's grown on me.
Quite strong song and singer, I think she'll almost definitely qualify. 8/10
Noa - It's
very different and she is a strong singer but I don't feel like it fits Eurovision.
6/10
Rob - They
had the chance to stand out with a non English approach, but this is just
horrible. 4/10
TOTAL SCORE:
28/50

GEORGIA - NIKA KOCHAROV & YOUNG GEORGIAN LOLITAZ "MIGHTNIGHT GOLD"
Elliot - The revamped last minute is better but still
the rest is trash and struggle - 2/10
James - A
solid rock song! Different & enjoyable to listen to. This was an impressive
revamp. 8/10
Emily - The revamp made it slightly better but it's just sort of dull and doesn't go anywhere. 3/10
Noa - I like
this kind of rock kind of pop song but It ain't catchy and for my opinion it
won't do well . 5\10
Rob - This
song doesn't really deserve a review, but fair play for being experimental I
guess... 3/10
TOTAL SCORE:
21/50
GERMANY - JAMIE-LEE "GHOST"
Elliot -
Adore Jamie-Lee and this song! Want this to do so well 9/10
James - Jamie
has a nice voice but I find the song dull and unappealing. I can't see it doing
a great deal in Stockholm. 6/10
Emily - Jamie-Lee is adorable, and her voice is very soothing. The song is great and again, has potential 9/10
Noa -
Jamie-Lee is so lovely! And the song is very dark and has an amazing meaning! Her
voice is very relaxing but strong ! 9\10
Rob - This
song is different in a very good way, wouldn't be surprised if this finishes
top 5. 8/10
TOTAL SCORE: 41/50
TOTAL SCORE: 41/50

GREECE - ARGO "UTOPIAN LAND"
Elliot -
CANNOT be positive about this, waste of 3 minutes, sorry Greece this is just
dire in all aspects 1/10
James - This
is fun, quirky and actually has a powerful message in the response to the
Refugee Crisis. I quite like how all of these things have made it the song that
it is. I think this could even get top 10. 7/10
Emily - I
have no clue what to say about this other than its a bit of a mess. The chorus
is sorta memorable but the Greek rap is dire 3/10
Noa - Well
It has a different vibe and the chorus is catchy but other than that it's very
basic. 4\10
Rob - The
ethnic sounding backing track is nice, but it all gets ruined when they start
singing. 4/10
