14. 🇮🇹 Italy | Lucio Corsi | Volevo Essere Un Duro
This is something unusual by Italy's standards. Unsurprisingly, the song was performed in Italian, but unusually an English translation of each line appeared at the bottom of the screen, which was useful for English speaking viewers. From the subtitles, it looks like the title means “Living life is easy”. I consider it to be one of Italy’s weaker efforts compared to what they’ve sent in recent years. Put it this way, from my first impression, on Tuesday evening (I hadn't previewed this one beforehand), it’s not exactly memorable. It seems like something out of the 1960s, perhaps inspired by the Beatles.

C'mon Germany, let's give you your best result in a few years xcheerxcheer(with a more competent and confident singer, it could have been aiming for a top 3 result imo)

People are desperate for a good dance song this year but so many feel overrated. The Spanish song is likely one of the better ones, the chorus isn't that bad.

15. 🇵🇱 Poland | Justyna Steczkowska – GAJA
Justyna sings the opening line and chorus in a somewhat unusual style; I’d say it’s the style of traditional church music, but it provides impact here. Some parts have a beat, but not the instances of the chorus or the bridge. For tonight’s performance, Justyna was accompanied by dancers, just like in the Polish national final. During the bridge, Justyna was raised into the air, though I’m mystified as to the significance of the pterodactyl which appeared on the background screen at this point in the song. The outro is unusual; a series of one-word lines, sung in a powerful manner; these words appeared in block capitals, one by one, on the background screen. Altogether a very unusual entry from Poland.
