The finalists from this semi were quite good, and I have some surprising favourites. I didn't expect to like Monika's song. I disliked her previous attempt, but this performance had me captivated. It gives me Undo vibes but with a super peculiar performance. I found this very heartfelt. A potential top 10 placer at Eurovision, perhaps even better.
Jurgis Brūzga's song the previous year (along with Monika's) was one of my least favourites, so I'm surprised to find myself enjoying his song and performance as well. It's kind of sexy if I'm being honest and WTF was that bridge part? I'm kind of living for this.
Sing had the potential there to be incredibly annoying but somehow I find it rather charming. The chorus melody I think was the seller for me. It's cute.
Run With The Lions has elements I don't like but at the same time there's something I find weirdly appealing about it. It's punchy. That quivering falsetto he slips into as well is beautiful. I wish the chorus was better because I'd probably be more on board. As it is now I'm mixed on it.
Cheri's Again is fine and inoffensive (actually, usually would be my kind of thing) but it just didn't really do anything for me.
Antikvariniai Kašpirovskio dantys's Mažulė? Too try hard. I don't find it funny or amusing. Just irritating. I like a joke but this is not it.
P.S. Justice for La Forza
