The vocal performance can never be perfect when there is so much falsetto. You have to accept that if you want to appreciate a song like this. (It wasn’t my favourite - I’m not a fan of falsetto -, but Reiley did a little better than expected.)

It's giving "average kpop boygroup member making his solo debut". I don't know how to explain this but yeah. 5 points. Mediocre.

RT (but with 0 points instead of 5).

This is the kind of song that makes me feel ashamed to watch Eurovision when someone walks into the room. It's pure corny cringy cheese. It's childish and incredibly lame. It's hard to decide what's worst between this and Croatia.

A really weak song, tailor-made for tik-tok success but failing in Eurovision. I will never be able to accept THAT much vocal processing, it makes it all so inauthentic. And considering how hard it was pushed from DR and their jury, in a year that the juries are getting downgraded, it’s simply a 0 from me. MGP needs an emergency rethinking and fresh understanding.

This is kinda catchy but very overproduced. I don’t like this word salad on auto tune and the derivative wordplay (Zap! Tam! Bah!).

I think it would be more shameful with a boomer song like 'Glansbillede' than with a tiktok song like 'Breaking My Heart'.

Unless you're Gjon's Tears ;)
But Reiley is no Gjon, that's for sure..!

A big :8: from here
Im quite pleased with Reileys win last night. A modern, uptempo song that are current and fresh with good staging (that Reiley already has teased will be better for Liverpool). I was rooting for Eyjaa, but there was something missing from their performance to live up to the studio cut. Sonne was AMAZING but the song is just lacking after a couple of listnings. The overall show was actually one of the better ones in the past years (besides the voting mess).

Prediction: Top 15 at the Grand Final

There's something i like about this, and i guess it's just that he seems to be having so much fun on staging. He's genuinely likable and has so much charisma, unfortunately the song is thin and forgettable. The vocoder part is especially jarring, it interrupts the flow of the song. I did like the retro staging, but the production of the song could use some polish. Final.... possible, but i wouldn't count on it.

I had to change my vote and lower it. It's not bad, obviously well produced but it's just not my cup of tea. I guess I'm too old for this type of music. Gen Z will probably like this more.
