CYPRUS - MINUS
ONE "ALTER EGO"
Emily - Love this
one! It's one of the best rock genre songs I've heard in a while, it's catchy
and so very well made! 9/10
Noa - Never tired
of listening to this song! It's rock though very catchy! Good job cyprus 8\10.
James - Not my cup
of tea, but a really strong song and a perfect demonstration of rock. Wishing
Cyprus all the best this year! 8/10
Elliot - My god, a
non dated rock song! Done very well and sung well, good job Cyprus! 8.5/10
Rob - An excellent
rock and pop song, this will suit a lot of Eurovision fans on the night. 7.5/10
TOTAL SCORE:
41/50
CZECH
REPUBLIC - GABRIELA GUNCIKOVA "I STAND"
Emily - One of few
female ballads this year. Lovely vocals and artist; Czech Republic is going in
the right direction in the contest compared to what they used to send.
8/10
Noa - Good but I
feel like it doesn't go anywhere and a bit boring although her vocals are great
! 7/10
James - I absolutely
love this entry! So emotional & powerful. One of my favourite songs this
year. 9/10
Elliot - Strong
singer and performer, like the song although does get dull and repetitive -
7/10
Rob - The
definition of average, the song's fine but nothing special. 6/10
DENMARK -
LIGHTHOUSE X "SOLDIERS OF LOVE"
Emily - Very much
like their 2015 entry but a lot better. Good live vocals and can carry out the
performance well. 7.5/10
Noa - Very catchy! And the guys are great live, but I feel like something is missing and it
doesn't stand out from the other songs. 6\10
James - It's
actually not a bad song! But, it's a bit dated and a bit cheesy. It could
struggle to qualify, but wouldn't be a bad filler for the Grand Final. 6/10
Elliot - Generic boy
band song but sung well so can't fault them, finalist but not making any
challenges for the title - 7/10
Rob - Catchy as
hell and it'll go big in the arena. A massive step up from last year. 7.5/10
TOTAL SCORE:
34/50
ESTONIA - JURI POOTSMAN "PLAY"
Emily - Very dark...
Yet memorable. He's got the looks, the performance and the voice. 8/10
Noa - Very unique
style, great vocals, love this one a lot! very impressed. 8\10
James - This song
sounds unfinished to me. It doesn't have enough oomph and for me it sounds like
a budget and toned down version of Rolling In The Deep by Adele. 6/10
Elliot - Love it,
sounds like George Ezra's soulful moody Estonian cousin, the slow tempo is a
nice change also in this contest 9/10
Rob - I like what
this song is trying to do, and think it COULD do really well. Not my taste
though. 7/10
FINLAND -
SANDHJA "SING IT AWAY"
Emily - Upbeat pop
for Finland this year. The only problem with this is that I can't remember the
performance much and the vocals weren't so strong in the NF. 7/10
Noa - Catchy song,
yet not outstanding one , much better then the song from last year though.
7.5/10
James - A
disappointing entry. Sure, it's upbeat, but it sounds dated and a bit
irritating. This one does not quite cut it as an enjoyable, upbeat song. 5/10
Elliot - The girl can
perform and is so sassy its amazing! Song doesn't match what she gives out
though which is a shame. 7/10
Rob - Very forgettable,
unfortunately I don't think Finland will be qualifying again this year. 6.5/10
TOTAL SCORE:
33/50
