18th - Estonia - a literal xenophobe - What Love Is(nt)
39/41
This song is terrible. It tries to do things that I personally think it should not do, and it fails at those things SPECTACULARLY.
17th - Finland - Aksel Kankaaranta - Looking Back
38/41
It's just not good. Personally, I don't like songs like this and his voice doesn't do any justice for me either.
16th - Czechia - Benny Cristo - Kemama
37/41
Imagine revamping a song 732847234 times and each revamp being worse than the last. It saddens me to see this THIS low.
15th - Austria - i think he's a homophobe and pro-life - Alive
36/41
Snooze. It tries to be a Bruno Mars knockoff, and while I already DO NOT LIKE Bruno Mars, it fails at it. It's boring.
14th - Georgia - Tornike Kiplani - Take Me As I Am
29/41
I like elements of this. The instrumental is nice and I think his voice compliments it well. However, these lyrics are some of the worst of the year. "DO U WANT ME TO TALK LIKE AN ENGLISHMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN?" If you're going to make lyrics like that, no.
13th - Iceland - Dadi and Gagnamagnid - Think About Things
28/41
Sue me. Dadi is a VERY charismatic performer, but that does not make up for this okay song, and sorry, but, his vocals, too. Not a fan of men who sound like this if I'm being honest. (and we'll quickly find out, too, that I am very picky about songs sung by men)
12th - Denmark - Ben and Tan - Yes
26/41
It's nice. I love the chorus, but the verses simply do not do it justice. It's an okay song.
11th - Serbia - Hurricane - Hasta La Vista
24/41
I said what I said. I'm already not a fan of balkan pop or "slutpop" music (see me not liking fuego or replay in recent years as much as the rest of the fandom), and while this is nice, it gets outshone by other songs.
