1. Matilda Pearl - Not a bad opener. Certainly nothing outstanding in terms of its execution, but overall a pleasant listen.
2. Greya - Tries to go with that dramatic feel, with a BANKS flair, but the chorus makes it fall completely flat. Such a shame.
3. Paige Cavell - Had this on my waiting list. Slightly messy, a bit cheap, but overall it's pretty good.
4. Loviet - The moment it started, I figured out this was gonna be really good. Yep, great song all around, wouldn't be surprised seeing it win tonight.
5. Killit - I am definitely not the audience for this, though I appreciate it qualifying since it shows a different side of TSC.
6. GRANT - I hate myself for forgetting about this song's existence. This is basically if LEON and Holly Humberstone merged together, and I support that. Good entry.
7. Isac Elliot - Nice use of synth. Perhaps sounds slightly tryhardish at times, but overall I quite enjoyed this.
8. Genelle - Pretty groovy throughout. There are some questionable lyrics in this, but otherwise it's a rather solid listen.
9. Anja Kotar - A lot is going on here, and it took me some time to get used to this. It is quite jolly, not a bad entry at all.
10. Fenech-Soler - Oh, they have had much better. This just sounds very pedestrian.
11. The Ella Sisters - This sort of mid-tempo Sia ballad type of a song always seems to perform well in TSC. This is pretty good.
12. Mysie - Quite mysterious in a way, but at parts it is quite jarring on the ears. Wish the chorus brought a bit more, not exactly sure how I feel about this, but it stands out in a particular way.
13. LULLANAS - If "July" by Noah Cyrus was made even more dull, you would get "Memphis" by LULLANAS.
14. Meiju Suvas - Very cheap-sounding, and it's also going for this sort of a type that has been executed so much better before.
15. Lisa Borud - This sounds like something that Dagny would reject lmao. It lacks a proper chorus to really elevate it above the line.
16. GRRRL PRTY x BIONIK - How did Lizzo end up on such a terrible track?
17. Anna Straker - Rather cheap, messy and not exactly pleasant on the ears. I appreciate that it is different, though.
18. Ayoni - Goes slightly too much in the vocal show off territory at parts which really don't allow the actual song to shine. Overall, it's not a bad ballad, but the opportunity cost hurts, considering this could have been really good.
19. Ellysse Mason - It has been a while since I really loved a TSC entry. Great use of synths with a gentle vocal makes an all around brilliant tune here.
20. IOLITE - Painfully basic in its trend riding. Not impressed.
21. DITA - Ladies and gentlemen, I am just gonna state the obvious: we have a doppelgänger in our midst. As an artist who respects creative integrity and intellectual property, I am disgusted at how much you have copied "Confident" by Poota Lovato. From the shitty production to some horrific melodies, do you not have any value or respect for music? You’re a laughing stock, it’s cheesy, it’s disgusting. I personally found it absolutely artistically atrocious. I am embarrassed to be sitting here in your presence having to even dignify you with an answer of my opinion.
22. Gia Farrell - This sounds so early 2010s lol. Not exactly keen.
23. R.O.E - Quite decent throughout, which is an achievement considering it's an R&B tune. Consider me impressed.
24. Chloe mk - Pretty reasonable until that hideous chorus hits that sounds like she was farting into a synth. Bleh
