Sad for HOBO. I thought he'd come through.
The winner isn't bad. We're lacking ballads this year and in the long run I think Teya will do better with me than the wig lady as I'd eventually tire of the dramatics (wasn't crazy for it to begin with). Ramonda is a pleasant listen. It's lowkey and maintains a decent atmosphere. The little pre chorus bit is really quite lovely. The visuals are there also. Like... I don't really know what else to say? It's good? I don't love it right now, but it's easily in the upper half of entries selected so far this year. I worry it misses a moment so it's going to be relying on absolutely gorgeous staging to pull through.

Also have my stamp of cancellation for not advancing Kat Dosa & friends to the final. No, I haven't forgotten, nor shall I forgive.
