01) Neville good opener, not too exciting, but also not terrible. like this is a solid song could be better, could be worse. but got me moving enough to like it
02) Panicland who is the target demographic for this? because i can't place it? it's like what if the beatles were annoying along with queen? but also like teens? idk
03) Alice Longyu Gao honestly, it goes off. like it's trash and great.
04) Embaci what if bjork was rnb instead of electro?
05) GWSN oh this is that like we're bubblegum but also retro. this is serving dreamcast era adventure game music.
06) Tulisa what if you tried to make a melo song, but got a producer that didn't actually understand the assignment
07) dexter here's the thing. this is okay but like i got a couple bops so far, this is not hitting the way it should because I NEED BOPS
08) Cariño is this supposed to have adults as a target? oh gosh i'm like half unlocking a memory but it's not working. it's the 16-bit part that's triggering it.
09) Hebe Tien i feel like a broken record with this style, where it's nice, it's lovely, i get it but also, 1) i'm bored. 2) i need something fresh
10) Jacks and Atoms honestly, as this was playing, i forgot to think of a comment or be orignal with my comment. so insert generic, enjoy points from bibbs quip
11) Rêve okay. i want to LIVE because chile.... chile... this is screaming me.... but also i feel like they are trying to hard to be edgy in the vid which makes me want to hate it
12) Fana Hues this is suffering from the same thing that dexter did. were i just got a BOP and now this mellow jam is like... not delivering. like it's a VIBE but like i'm still thinking about the bop
13) Aubrey Haddard This feels like lesbian baiting. like this feels like something straight people think lesbians would be into, but like isn't quite there and still feels a bit straight and not lesbian.
14) ascendant vierge Come on people, we're in the middle of the show, STOP TRYING TO SEND ME TO SLEEP UGHHH
15) Cariss Auburn at this point i'm questioning if rick randomized the order. because this is the 3rd time where it's like ENERGY into chill vibes. *squints*
16) Hoang Thuy Linh the thing is.... i'm judging on the fact it says "speed up version" because like, i'm too busy trying to figure out if the vocals are legit, or they got alvin and the chimpunks. like i honestly don't hate it but i'm too busy thinking about that instead of enjoying the song
17) Ashe i can't tell if this is the winner pick? like does the build throughout the song hurt it instead of help it? i... don't... know... (i mean also... not for me because i'm not like it even before the build, but i appreciate it more because of the build, but i also feel like it would hurt it for the people who like it before the build... ya know? you know)
18) Sean Paul i mean... sean paul <3 pia is okay i guess but SEAN PAUL <3
19) HA-ASH this feels like something created for the spanish version of crazy ex girlfriend. Idk if it's the mv or if it's the song, but legit this feels like a song that was made to drive the plot of a tv show
20) Ronie the still got my hopes up, but i am so underwhelmed. like the vocals in the chorus really nearly ruined it
21) OOHYO this is the second time a song was playing and i forgot to think of a comment as it was playing. i'm like... uninspired by this... sorry
22) Ilkan Gunuc & Osman Altun this ALMOST gave beach bar vibes, but there wasn't enough there? or maybe the violin through it off a bit? no because that could still be used effectively for beach bar. idk what it's missing but it's just SLIGHTLY missing something.
23) Jenevieve okay. so this feels like a trend where i'm underwhelmed like this had elements there but it's missing something and like it's not giving enough to like stand on it's own, but like i wanted to care for it. like i'm disappointed
24) Rotana okay just because i don't have another non-foreign reference, this reminds me of Marianna Satti which like delivers but for me i need a couple listened to deliver, because i'm always like slightly trying to figure it out but like when it eventually hits, it would HIT
25) Urban Cone i hate ikea... so i can't relate to this at all.
26) Masumi okay. i got it. this is the song that like everyone has in the mid to low section of their eurovision rankings, but then the performance at the semis happen and everyone is like... oh this was actually a lot better than i thought and like end up in their low points and therefore also move up in their rankings into the low points but not enough to be a top contender and then you have someone being like "see yall hated it but i told yall it was good" but then everyone responds with "yea but it still wasn't good enough and we were more disappointed with stuff we liked originally than enjoyed this, like it's fine but like don't get it twisted" and then would either get that 9th qualifying spot and people be 'good for them' or get 13th and people be like 'kind of robbed but expected'
27) Ava Max honestly, it's fine, like yea it's like okay like if we're throwing in an established artist that is followed by the gay community, i want something exciting. and i'm not excited
28) Estère this felt safe. like it's nice. it's lovely, actually no i take that back. it's not that safe as i intiially was thinking because like it's honestly not something that feels tsc safe. it's like safe overall but not tsc safe. okay i have come around on this. but have i come around enough? find out when rick reveals results
29) dani okay. i'm gonna get hate for this, but the song started and i rolled my eyes. I don't know why but i'm like really? like there is nothing for me to rolls my eyes about but i'm like over it... what am I over? idk like what the fuck? (also this song doesn't deserve this kind of reaction because like it's okay but for some random nonexistant reason, i'm annoyed)
30) Sigala freed from desire? No like this has too much inspiration to freed from desire. i can't unhear it. I don't understand how there is nothing online baout this. (like bop but like THIS IS FREED FROM DESIRE POP VERSION 2022).
