It's not that they are bad songs. All of the songs are pretty good. There's 3 songs so far that I really like, that means that I have a connection with and that I care for and that is sort of what I expect and like to hear and listen to. Then there's a few good songs that I like a la Macedonia, Belarus, Switzerland, but they are not my style and then there are four songs that I don't like to listen to the whole way through, because they get so boring and tiring and two of those are Albania's and Malta's song that I don't even want to touch. Last year there was maybe 3 songs out of the 37 that I didn't want to touch or hear so I hope there will be no more songs like this. :?
But yes, the year is not that bad so far. It's just that it's kind of all the same? Female midtempo songs with the same lyrics as many people have said already. It's sooo f-ing tiring to hear these songs and it leaves a bland overall impression. They are good but just not good enough. There's no song yet that really stands out as well, and that's not good, last year there were plenty of those. Some variety would be nice, different kind of songs, better lyrics, more quality, songs with different kind of emotions.. I was in desperate need of something fun for this year, last year it was Pollapönk, thankfully Denmark replenished that need now. And as my preferable style of music is rock, then I expect more rock-ish songs as well. Last year was probably worse than this one will be, perhaps, but every song was different at least. Nothing beats 2012 though, best year hands down. But I agree that there's still a lot of the songs to go and we're only a quarter through, things seem to be going better now and I hope my overall opinion will change later on.
