JESC 2018

[Yazy]

Catchy song with enjoyable music. But I think that stage wise, the performance feels a bit empty. She really should have gotten some backup dancers and singers.

Efi performed the song with the most confidence
go girl!

 

[NemesisNick]

Albania: a fun, bouncy novelty song, which mentions Barbie doll, but definitely not a winner. The previous three songs were all better, and I'm sure there are even better songs to come.

 

[Yazy]

An okay, middle of the road song. Got nothing much to say about it. It will probably end up somewhere in the middle of the scoreboard.

 

[Gogerko]

Albania slaaaaaaaayed

 

[NemesisNick]

Russia: a powerful song, I think it's the best so far. Possibly a top 10 song based on this afternoon's live performances.

 

[Gogerko]

Netherlands quite nice!

 

[Yazy]

An alright song with pretty nice visuals and performance.

 

[NemesisNick]

The Netherlands: a beautiful duet ballad, better live than in the preview video. Maybe a mid-table song.

 

[Yazy]

Another alright, middle of the road song. Maybe I like it more than couple of others though.

 

[Gogerko]

Belarus - the worst song with the best visuals

 

[Yazy]

Okay, finally something different and more original. I definitely like the performance visuals and hip hop beat, although I´m not the biggest fan of his voice.
This song is second best after I would say.

 

[NemesisNick]

Azerbaijan: a beautiful ballad, well sung, but very much a mid-table entry.

Belarus: Oh dear! What on Earth, in the world, is this? This was among my least-liked songs among the preview videos, and it's just as bad performed live. Definitely my least-liked song so far this afternoon. Definitely destined for near bottom of the scoreboard.

 

[BarefootBoogaloo]

Yesss Ireland!

 

[Gogerko]

IRELAND WAS THE BEST SO FAR!

 

[Yazy]

This is a pretty enjoyable disco beat song. The performance is rather basic though and her voice is not the strongest so far.

 

[NemesisNick]

Ireland: now for our neighbours across the Irish sea. I wasn't overly keen on this when watching the preview videos (it ended up 17th in my ranking), and it's not much better live. Were the strobes necessary near the end? The I.O.U. bit is undeniably catchy and memorable, but that's about it really. Another contender for the bottom third of the scoreboard.

 

[Gogerko]

This is a pretty enjoyable disco beat song. The performance is rather basic though and her voice is not the strongest so far.

it's male

 

[Yazy]

A nicely crafted ballad. I like how the song doesn´t have the typical "verses-chorus-verses-chorus..." formula. Her vocal performance is flawless.

However, I´m afraid that the song is not competitive enough and it will be forgotten in this line up.
