Comments -
01 - Bosnia And Herzegovina - This song starts out slow....but it's pretty catchy and a little bit awesome. It's definatly growing on me... but part of me thinks that it's catchiness is due to the repeating of the same beat over and over.
02 - Austria - Goregous. Just an absolutely goregous and perfect ballad. I'm head over heels in love with this song. Just adore it! Such a great build! I can't help but sing dramatically!
03 - The Netherlands - A noble and pretty good pop/rock/ballad from the Dutch. I have moments of loving it, but no matter how many times i listen to it and love it, it just can't seem to crack my top 10.
04 - Belgium - This song kinda reminds me of Rockappella...but they just could never be as good. Boring and forgettable.
05 - Slovakia - A classy and elegant song for Slovakia....it's so pretty and just well after a couple listens you just have to sing along.
06 - Ukraine - Sadly, this song is a departure from the typically amazing, dancey, fun and somewhat outlandish Ukrainian songs of the past. Pretty much an ok upbeat ballad...but after the cluster fuck that was the Ukrainian NF, what can you expect?
07 - Moldova - Terrible rock song that hurts my ears. Fail.
08 - Sweden - A typically awesome Swedish song. It's a favorite to win! I adore it and love it! That being said....i just can't LOVE it into my top 5!
09 - Cyprus - Erm what? Sorry i fell asleep....and that pretty much says it all.
10 - Bulgaria - A pretty modern and awesome Pop/rock song. Adore! I just love the drama of it!
11 - FYR Macedonia - A typically balkan dancey rock song that's fun but nothing special.
12 - Israel - YAY! She's back and she's fully planning on returning the contest to Israel! And with this awesome, powerful, dancey, glitterly, dramatic and fun song, she has a great chance of doing so! LOVE
13 - Slovenia - I. A.D.O.R.E. this song. Mother-ge-fucking adore it. It's just so amazing! Too amazing for words! LOVE LOVE LOVE! Always in my top 3 of ESC 2011, and more often than not, my winner :)
14 - Romania - An upbeat, somewhat catchy song that i just can't seem to get into. it's just missing something...it's a little bit souless and well just the bad kind of "Eurovision By Numbers"
15 - Estonia - Perfection. Just an awesome, fun and amazing song! LOVE! LOVE! LOVE!
16 - Belarus - This song is just a bit too cheezy for me to actually take it seriously. I mean it's dancey and awesome and i adore it, but i'll never like it too much...it's great for what it is, but what it is isn't anything lasting or meaningful.
17 - Latvia - This song is losing it's magic for me... it just kinda gets old and nothing special.
18 - Denmark - A pretty great ballad that's for sure growing on me with ever listen :) And that makes me happy :)
19 - Ireland - ADORE! I don't care if they are the European version of Justin Beiber! I adore them and their hair but most of all i adore this amazing song! It's just so dancey and fantastic and amazing! AWESOME! Could very well win and will for sure qualify!
