Azerbaijan AZERBAIJAN 2018 - Aisel - X My Heart

[hijirio]

This is the first time I don't like an Azeri entry since ........................................................ never!
What a let down after last year... (Dihaj was my 1)
Can't express my disappointment with words.
Why they put the expectation so high from the beginning?
Azerbaijan is in my top 10 every year, but this year might be an exception.

I DIDN'T EXPECT THIS AT ALL

Jazz singer with a generic song! Ok next.

 

[Ana Raquel]

AND AS I LOVE SOME GENERIC UPTEMPO I'M DIGGING IT

not an always though

Disappointing song as I like Aisel's voice. I don't have anything bad to say about it but I don't really have anything good to say about it either. There's nothing here that makes me go "wow", although the "lunar moon me up" line catches my attention, and may be the hook I need to help me get into this over time. For now i'll give 5 points. I'm tired of all this midtempo pop that's almost indistinguishable...

On second listen, I like it a bit more, and the "lunar moon me up" hook is still doing something for me, so have a 6. It's not bad. I just want to hear some really explosive, melodic pop songs for a change.

my issue with this music is the lack of jazzy elements. it would make so much memorable and it would stand out against the other generic uptempos that i love

 

[hijirio]

This is the first time I see so many people who are disappointed with Azerbaijani choice.
I hope someone reads here and they change the song or do something.
I don't want Aysel's talent to be wasted.

I miss this Highquality:

 

[Jacketh]

Yep, first time in ages I don't like an Azerbaijan entry.

Maybe it'll grow on me.

 

[Kaz]

I fear that Azerbaijan, Cyprus & Finland will all kind of cancel each other out. They're all great in their own right, but in a pool of only 19 it may be hard to distinguish them from each other.

Well it finally happened... Kontopoulos didn't write a killer song for a foreign country for the first time.

The start is promising but the chorus is horrible and really noisy if that makes sense. 2 pts.

 

[carl1]

Generic, bland pop song, I expected better. 5 points

 

[Haverdge]

Bland and forgettable, unfortunately.

 

[JonnyWest]

What a waste of an artist like Aisel, I thought she would be capable of bringing something different to the competition.

With that being said, I don't dislike this actually I think I even prefer this over Fuego and she can actually sing after watching her videos

But it seems to me that Kontopoulos is lagging behind, he gave Demy a generic song and I can't disagree with others that say the same about this song tbh...

I give it 6 points in the poll because, for some reason, I don't dislike this completely with a good performance it will probably qualify. Good luck!

 

[SirPeterGriffin]

Another year, another uninspiring choice from Azerbaijan. They should realize the era 2008-2013 has come to an end and they need quickly to explore different territories. This formula is safe and predictable.

 

[joancamo]

Dissappointed! This is weaker than both Skeletons and Miracle

 

[Hayato]

I find it quite amusing that a song like Ukraine is seemingly universally praised (the most generic bland, flat song imaginable) and this is ripped to ss for being generic
This absolutely crushes that, and most of the songs in the competition so far

 

[Mrm]

Uuuuuuuuuuu I didn’t expect to find this released ..
Eeeeeerm..this looks like a joke..it seems Azerbaijan payed very little this time..
They don’t bother that much..they just did this to be there..
This is dated as hell..not in a good way..and it feels like 50 years old woman sings while you listen…uuuh I’m not into this.. :'(

1 in the poll

 

[BarefootBoogaloo]

Maybe if she had sung it partly or completely in Azeri the song could've been salvaged, IDK

 

[armenie]

Bad...i think its not dream team but Horrible team
