North Macedonia FYR MACEDONIA 2018 - Eye Cue - Lost and Found

[Ausesken]

Too messy for my taste. There are parts I love and parts I hate.

 

[Remembrance]

Reggae...? OK.... (pun intended).
In all seriousness, I like this one.

Great track. I'm on the opposite side, i really like the rhythm changes on this one. Didn't bother me at all. Admiring the fact that FYROM brought us a reggae beat, this has to be one of the most diversed Eurovision in years. Hope that they use the staging properly, it has been their vulnerability over the years.
8 points for a start and pretty sure it's going to grow soon. Great, great job!

Starts promising: nice voice, all those reggae vibes are nice. However, they start mixing different rhythms in the middle of the songs that make it borderline for a qualification, and more in a strong semi. I liked Macedonia a lot last year and, even though this song is not bad, it’s a step behind. 4 points from me.

THE GOOD:
-I like the incorporation of reggae into this song.
-I like her soft vocals. They fit the song in a strange way.

THE BAD:
-The transitions from genre to genre is a bit jarring.
-The song is inconsistent on the choice of genres for each verse and chorus.

THE VERDICT:
This will be a hard sell for some of the audience, due to the song's nature. Even though I like the song still, having three(?) genres in one song is gonna confuse some folks. Its chances of qualifying for the Final is up in the air. 8 points

This is nice but not as good as last year, not sure it will have a big enough impact to qualify.

The chorus is great. I wish there was more of it.

 

[Ezio]

The first 20 seconds I was in love and then she revealed more and I was like ewww... I need to go

I gave 5 points. Huge disappointment for me. It's not even the fact that it sounds like different songs in one that bothers me. I just don't like what it's offering besides the cool reggae part. The rest sounds really uninspired and pandering. Maybe it will grow somewhat, but for now i'm kind of bummed.

xyeah

I would be happy to have a good reggae tune in the ESC. But the other parts really dont work here.

 

[joao]

This is so... american?

I quite like it. If they don't mess the stage like last year they could end up have their best result ever!

I am sooooo mad ... I think I just found my winner of ESC 2018 ... and it is this song and it is FYROM for the second year in a row. But semifinal 1 is so damn hard and I have it in my bones, its not gonna qualify, but I ENJOY THIS SONG SOOOO FREAKING MUCH! Just listen it on repeat!

Dear god, I am shooketh. Did not expect a hot mess of an indie pop banger from Macedonia, my my my

Absolutely fantastic quality entry, probably the entry that has most closely represented my taste in quite a few years. Have all of my points

 

[AmaiaQ]

Wow I was not expecting to like it and I did quite a bit on first listen! I don't like reagge at all but I enjoy it when it is mixed the way it is done in this song. Let's see how it develops but it may turn out to be one of my favourites this year!

It happens even to the best

The song itself isn't so bad actually, but I don't like the Chorus. And I fear that this song is not memorable enough to make its way. Still it might grow on me. Not a big hit, but I give it 4 Points for now! At least a lot better than the entries of the past two days!

 

[mauve]

The chorus is great. I wish there was more of it.

Funny. I liked the song, but din't like the chorus!

A rather interesting mix, I like it! 10 points

First listen:

If anyone asks me what is style over substance, I will send them this song.

It's modern, sounds expensive, but that's it.

Can't feel it.

Second listen:

Still nothing coming through
