Just ranking qualifiers, and some could change later.
1. Maian - Has a nice vibe to it. Hopefully Spain's renewed interest in ESC will mean that this won't end up being the best "Spanish" entry, unlike like in 2020. (I am, of course, referring to "Wanna be like")
2. Evelin Samuel - I'll be honest, it's the theremin section that's doing the heavy lifting here. I can't tell whether I like the rest of it or not yet.
3. Jaagup Tuisk - This is starting to grow on me, but Beautiful Lie was more instant. Currently provoking chin-stroking admiration rather than love.
4. Stig Rästa - I don't want to lay into this as "Goodbye to Yesterday" has provided Stig with an almost infinite amount of credit in the bank, but... it's fine. However, I have issues. For now, I'll just ask why any song where Victor Crone is involved has to have a chorus in a vocal register that's unlikely to work live.
5. Boamadu - Nothing wrong with this and I'm glad it got through. As far as rock entries go, though, it's on the lower end of the spectrum.
Nice to have some actual songs so thanks
, even if I'm still more excited for
at the moment.
