Re: Any growers/faders yet?

:hu: Is definitely a fader. I really like his song in 2017, which was very special. That's why I gave it a chance at first. But now I fear, if the first semi-final would be the same hellfire as it was last year (which it isn't, fortunately, too many good entries where lost there!), he wouldn't qualify. Probably will, though, It's still Joci Papai and Hungary isn't an unpopular country. But...Maybe...It's one of the few countries left that always qualified before. Previous year we lost Romania, Russia and Azerbeidjzan in the always qualifiers.

:se: Is growing on me. I often don't like Swedens entries because they're too forced and 'perfect', overly produced in a way it doesn't seem genuine and sincere anymore. That's what I thought about this one too: "Oh, another arrogant hot guy for Sweden, groundbreaking" but This one isn't forcedly perfect. It's a genuine, fun song instead, or it seems to be.

Re: Any growers/faders yet?

Biggest grower is :ru:

At first it kind of went in one ear and out the other and I forgot it as soon as the next song started playing, now it's in my top 5

Biggest fader is :au:

I was impressed with Australia at first and had a feeling this would be a favourite of mine throughout the contest, but I'm already getting tired of it, and now it sits in the bottom with the rest of the songs I don't really care for

Re: Any growers/faders yet?

I only have two growers, but both are very recent so this may also be a first judgment. They are :ie: and :mt:
The rest has more or less the same ranking as before

Re: Any growers/faders yet?

Growers : I was already pretty high on :gr: to begin with but I can really see Katerine doing a top 10 now. Watching out for :at: Austria when we get to rehearsals and possibly :by: Belarus as well.
Faders : Maybe :es:

Tumblr, mostly.
Re: Any growers/faders yet?

:by: is a huge grower. I've always liked it, mind, but it's such a teenager's anthem and can't help to be charmed by it and ZENA's pluck. Definitely the most underrated entry by this year imo.

:cy: has already faded completely for me. What a predictable, soulless, formulaic continuation of ESC's slutpop tradition (which Malta and Switz do better anyway).

Re: Any growers/faders yet?

I'm shocked, but... :md: !

This year I'm all into ballads it seems.

After listening to it several times randomly because Spotify made me do this I noted this isn't actually that bad. It even outpaced Serbia and Slovenia in my top list which I both quite enjoy. It's kinda soothing to listen to Anna.

Re: Any growers/faders yet?

Growers af :mt: :pl:

At first listen, I didn't think much of both songs. Malta sounded like your typical soulless ESC bop and I lumped it together with :cy: and :ch: in the bottom of my ranking. Poland was so repetitive, almost mantra-like that I thought one listen would have been more than enough.
Unconsciously, I found myself coming back to these two over and over and over and now I can't stop pressing replay. I came to love both the quirkiness of Pali Sie and the drop in Chamaleon the same way even if they can't be any more different. They climbed in my ranking like crazy. Especially Pali Sie, I think it requires quite a few listens to fully appreciate it.

Also growers :ie: :az:
I have no idea why these grew on me so much. The more I listen, the more I enjoy them, and I'm perfectly fine with it.

Fader :nl:
My hype for this song lasted about 24 hours. It's objectively good and well polished, but all I know, all I know is that everytime Spotify tries to make me listen to it, I end up just skipping it.

Re: Any growers/faders yet?

GROWERS: EVERYTHING ON SPOTIFY
FADERS: EVERYTHING STILL NOT ON SPOTIFY

THE FUTURE IS NOW LOSERS GIVE US THE SONGS RIGHT NOW

(the offenders are azerbaijan, armenia, lithuania, belarus, georgia, ireland, malta, serbia, the albania revamp, montenegro, and germany for non-germans. the last two can stay gone tbh.)

Re: Any growers/faders yet?

I must be fair and say that :no: has been a fader for me - it might be that I've listened to it too much but - I hope it can grow on me as we approach Tel Aviv though
I still want us to do well
