It's now time to boot four more countries out of my ranking. I like these songs better than the previous 4 flops, but we're not yet in the territory of liking songs yet
#33: Italy - Marco Mengoni - "Due Vite"
Another hot-take I know. Sorry Mark and Luca, but this song just BORES ME TO DEATH, but at least it's a HUGE improvement to the wailing from last year. On a positive note, I could see this being a vocal SLAY live, possibly also having some epic staging, so that's at least something :)

#32: Croatia - Let3 - "Mama SC"
This is probably much higher than it deserves to be. This song is...baaadddd, like actually really terrible, but at least that makes it somewhat enjoyable. It's a train wreck but I already know my party is going to EAT THIS UP and they'll probably end up voting for it. It's a mess, but it's at least somewhat funny!

#31: Belgium - Gustaph - "Because Of You"
So while I've grown to like this a LITTLE more, it's still not very good. At first I thought it'd be my least favorite of the year, but as the previous 6 songs demonstrated, I was wrong. Overall, this isn't that terrible, kind of dated sure, but it COULD be worse. Disturbingly this is probably a safe qualifier so having to watch it perform on the stage twice might be a little difficult

#30: Denmark - Reiley - "Breaking My Heart"
Well, this is a mess, and live is vocally AWFUL. This has a tiny chance to qualify, but if it does it's 100% getting last in the final. It's a little less annoying than some other songs but tbh it is still pretty bad. I look forward to watching this be a complete mess on the stage as I laugh pretending Eyjaa was representing Denmark instead
