Aurelian Temişan feat. Alexa – Chica latina
This is a crime against Spanish language and probably against music too.
Băieţii – Dragoste în lanţuri
Not bad but a bit forgettable. This will not be chosen anyway...
Blue Noise - Love won’t run away
Okay I don't know if this is weird or just different. Anyway, these songs have usually failed in ESC and we have to check if this band is able to perform this live because it's complicated.
CEJ - We were in love
This is really boring and doesn't stand out anywhere, next.
Cristina Vasiu – Nowhere
Kinda interesting, but not sure if the best choice.
De la capăt – Voltaj
Cute ballad but bland. No chances though.
Lara Lee - Superman
hmm not sure about this one. The production is very bad, it looks a demo. The verses sound bad and cheap, but I admit the chorus is strong. I'm more negative than positive to this song, but this could change.
Luminiţa Anghel – A million stars
This is a mix between *insert any ESC dated ballad* and "Gravity". I don't like it and I think this doesn't work. Why Luminita doesn't come back with another great song like "Let me try" instead of these dated and cliché ballads?
Ovidiu Anton - Still alive
This is probably the best song in the competition and the one which could get a good result in Vienna. With a good live performance juries usually love this kind of songs. Simple but effective.
Rodica Aculova – My light
I don't know if this is because it's the 292323th ballad in a row, because I'm sleepy, or just because it's uber boring, don't know, but I'm zzzzzzzzz
Supertrooper – Secret place
Tudor Turcu – Save us
A ballad! Finally, thank God...
I'll only say this is not one of the stronger songs here.
In the end the NF is not too bad, at least it's not full of crap, but it's not really interesting because it's full of okish, nice songs, but without the "wow" effect.
Too bad the absolute lack of diversity. How many ballads are this year? And most of them are pretty similar to each other. Do they want the audience to fall asleep?
And only two real up-tempos and both are really embarrassing...
So my full support to Ovidiu Anton - Still alive. It's the best of the group and I think it's the one who would get the best result in Eurovision.
