Pretty much what I was expecting - I've been of the opinion that this year is about the same quality as last year (with less outstanding songs but also less horrible ones).

Firstly Slovenia's entry is just partly in Slovenian, most of it is in English. Secondly it's funny you'd like that since it's probably one of the best examples of what you tend to refer as "faux ethno". Thirdly it's a weak attempt at trying to jump on the bandwagon of past year's winner.

Uf I disagree, there isn't anything Slovenian ethno in the flute sound, neither quasy nor real, it's just using of the flute in the melody..and composition and vocals are so much better than Denmark last year.. xshrug

Ehm, actually you wrote that it included ethno elements (check your own quote).

I just find it a kinda formulaic song, it's not amongst the worst songs this year but I don't really "get" much from it xshrug

Each to their own, I much prefer Denmark last year...

That seems about right to how I feel about this year. I'd say most of my 2013 votes were less easy to make than the 2014 votes (big improvements and small falls)
