Will probably have nightmares tonight about these ads and get wrinkles. Just like the pug on the left.

When I just started watching that QF, I first thought this is really a song already started, not postcard...

Quarter Final 2!

 

[BarefootBoogaloo]

Finally we get the first set of artists, but also this moment on the couch XD

Traditional english ballad from former JESC participant Francesca.

 

[BarefootBoogaloo]

Francesca had nice vocals, but also standard Maltese ballad

 

[BarefootBoogaloo]

I'm likin' the funkiness of The Buskers' song

 

[simori95]

surely the busker have one of the better songs, but it's still too forgettable. its good that they have a bit of staging, but I do think it needs to be … elevated. Plus their charisma isn't the biggest, which is sad.

 

[njdevils94]

Feel better in my sweater is one of those classic Matese lyrics. Compared to everything else in this selection The Busker stands out.

 

[mauve]

I am late to the party, but here I am anyway!

 

[bstream]

I actually forgot this was happening lol. How were the first two? I just tuned in before Lyndsay started.

 

[njdevils94]

Lyndsay's ballad is even more flat than Francesca. It might be down to a sloppy vocal performance too.

 

[mauve]

Uha. Need some ear plugs.

 

[BarefootBoogaloo]

Lynsday with another typical Maltese ballad

 

[bstream]

I honestly expected Sophie DeBattista, Franklin Calleja, or Daniel Testa to come back. We need our multi-year MESC returnees!

 

[BarefootBoogaloo]

Maxine's had the best vocals of the three ballads we've heard so far, the additional choir helps to bring life to it.

 

[bstream]

Maxine Pace is vocally decent -- pitchy in a few parts, but fixable; the song's instruments just arent doing anything unfortunately.

 

[njdevils94]

Finally a more professional ballad. Maxine Pace bringing that R&B sound. She's one of the best singers in this selection. Should easily make it to the final. From the snippets of all the songs this was in my top 5.
