Florence & the Machine ~ Although quite repetitive, it’s a good start. Sounds a bit like her old, 2010 era work. Not fantastic just decent.
Now United ~ Maybe it was a bad idea for them to jump on the Latin bandwagon - this song is quite unoriginal and cheap in comparison to the brilliant WWTTL. It’s still an ok song, and I love the concept and what they bring to the table, and they’re all sooo good-looking! But this isn’t their best.
Nerina Pallot ~ I know this one and it was one I was considering using, but it never really has a *moment*...ya get me? It’s a pleasant song and I’ve always liked her as an artist but this one is just there.
Chloe Kohanski ~ I liked the angst, but thought the chorus was a bit of a letdown? Have to admit I got bored after a while of this, felt she was trying too hard, but other than that it’s not a bad song.
Luis Fonsi, Demi Levato ~ God, id do some things to him!!! 😍 It’s good, liked Demi singing in Spanish, but it’s no Despacito imo. I can see why others will be annoyed at it but I’ve no real gripe.
Gryffin ~ It built well actually, was disappointed by the drop though. I also doubt I could listen to her voice all day, but I didn’t necessarily mind this song other than that. Good instrumentals.
Moss Kena ~ Sounds like an old Justin Timberlake song that didn’t make the album, except Justin can sing. Moss’ vocal sounds put-on and quite irritating.
Four of Diamonds ~ Not much of a budget here I must say. It’s a fine song though, I quite liked them on X Factor - I just think if they’re going to ‘happen’, I doubt it’d be this song that propels them to.
Jacob Banks ~ Thought this was going to be super interesting, I was super wrong. Don’t care for this.
Diane Birch ~ Only she could make the word ‘You’ sound like it has 2 syllables?! Great song though, the first song up to now I can see really contending. Love her vocal, and I’m TSC-OLD enough to remember her winner!
Eleni Foureira ~ If there’s one thing she’s brilliant, it’s drops! Others can certainly learn from her there. Annoyingly very good song, if not a little bit gappy in parts. Definitely another contender.
Polina Grace ~ Ooof surely she could have done more with the chorus, that’s repetitive. Otherwise this was quite nice all round. Sounds like another song, but not one I remember the name of.
A Story To Tell ~ It does verge on being a bit too pop-punk for my tastes, and that’s just a genre that’s never once converted me. I do like his vocal though. It gets a bit guitar-drowney, so at least they bother to use other instruments unlike others, that’s something. It’s fine I’m torn!
Yubin ~ I actually found this really cool, nicely retro and not CUTE, yes. Into it, would listen again.
SHELLS ~ It definitely could use a punchier build but I do really like this overall. Love her vocal, not much bad to say really. Quite striking.
Neoni ~ Weird but you know what? This was frickin cool for what it was. Didn’t actually find the production as good as it could have been, it sounded quite stop-starty. I know the vocals will divide but I’m liking this, and them a lot.
SING ~ Its funky enough in the chorus, and I loved the cultural elements in the video (ooops Don’t be triggered huns!) overall it isn’t really for me though. Just a littleee too cute, but it will have its audience.
Cheryl ~ Quiteee monotone if I’m honest, but still catchy. Not her best for me.
Seinabo Sey ~ I love her vocal she reminds me of Laura Mvula who I LOVE! The song however is a bit of a non-event and isn’t standout much. Shame, they wasted her vocal.
Gabby Barrett ~ Pretty solid all round, liked the angst in the chorus even if her vocal can get jarring after a while.
Paul Rey ~ Another class act from Paul, really dig it. Love his voice, love the instruments...love!
Juicy M ~ Mh brother used to thirst over her lolol! This wasn’t nearly as bad as I expected, I mean I’ve heard many songs like this, but the drop was good. Pretty good production.
Rebecca_1147 ~ The chorus is so weird in comparison to the rest of the song, BUT overall this is good, feeling the angst well. Think this will do well.
Amanda Tenfjord ~ Not really the kind of song that does much for me, a bit singer/songwriter. Not horrible though..
Eliane ~ Again singer/songwriter af but with a better production begins it. The chorus took me by surprise, I actually quite liked this one.
BLOW ~ When it got going it was quite cool, if not a little dull? It’s vaguely familiar from somewhere. It’s a nice song but it doesn’t set me alight, vocal is pretty good.
Nyxx ~ I quite liked this but I also felt it sounded a bit dated, kinda alternative 90s. Still, fine with it, she’s definitely trying to be simultaneously scary and seductive?
Sheppard ~ Oh yes. Yes!!! It’s not even my favourite by them but I’ll bloody take it!
John de Sohn ~ Definitely serving some mad Avicii vibes, this. Not exactly an original sound but I’m definitely into this.
Meg Myers ~ Oh this was cute! Quite enjoyed this one quite playful and very listenable. Like her voice a lot.
Jenifer Brening ~ Not has much EDM this contest, nice addition. Really liked the energy and overall vibe of this, fun pick.
