Re: FRANCE 2018
I just heard the full version of "Mercy" and i'm finding difficulty with understanding quite how it's a big favourite. I don't dislike it, but at the same time I feel nothing at all for it. It's just one of those songs that's there and exists, barely. Like an album track you always forget. The production values are good but that's not enough for me. The song isn't dislikeable but it feels throwaway, as well as something that's very much two a penny (if not at Eurovision, then outside of it). I don't think the sleek production saves it.
Maybe I should wait for the live performance though, as I didn't think i'd like "Ok ou KO". People are clearly seeing something in this "Mercy" song that i'm not able to see yet.
