Ana Tijoux ~ Very messy. I know it’ll have fans but I don’t think this is for me overall.
Ralph ~ It’s not a bad pop song actually, just a bit bland. I’ve never been one for the pretentious songs if I’m honest.
IC3PEAK ~ I love the eerie tones so much, but I do think the chorus let’s it down slightly. Still a good song.
Mary Mary ~ Whilst this does sound dated, it’s still quite nice? I don’t know if it’s a song I’d revisit but I liked the groove overall.
Florent Mothe, Camille Lou & Charlie Boisseau~ I can’t even save face, I f**king loved this. Very bold send but I’m so glad it qualified.
Em Rossi ~ This was cute! Unsure if it’ll stand out enough but I did really enjoy this.
MICHELLE ~ Very sweet. I liked all the elements to this, her voice is lovely.
IZAH ~ Love the beats in this. I wish the ‘love me better’ part did not sound so child like, but apart from that, solid entry.
Mr Little Jeans ~ The dark, alternative feel here is so nice. The vocal does seem a bit lacking listening again, but I still adore this overall.
Mondo Grosso ~ Very nice music but it’s quite long and the whole package got a bit samey after a while. I can see why it was popular, though.
Angelita ~ Ethno will always go down well with me. Fun entry overall, reminded me a bit of Poco. Alvaro is this you?
AWA ~ Gawd this final is so good. I wouldn’t even say this is my style of song normally, but all the elements come together really well here and that chorus is stacking. Possible winner I should think.
Markus Schulz & Emma Hewitt ~ A bit dated in all honesty. It was summery and nice, but I feel like I’ve heard this done better many times before. Her vocal didn’t seem that strong either.
Samia ~ I think I know what this wanted the achieve but it didn’t quite reach it for me. It sounded more messy than anything., not keen.
