JESC 2021

#ARM Armenia - Quite a lively song, but it sounds like something from the 1970s. Could it be seen as dated?

 

[AlekS]

- just like 2 days ago, she screwed the low notes a little, but she did well overall. The culmination gave me shivers all over

 

[NemesisNick]

#KAZ Kazakhstan - Quite an unusual song, but I don't see it doing all that well in the voting.

 

[AlekS]

- too screamy vocals for my taste, but they look cute together. The song wasn't it.

 

[VirginiaVision]

Kazakhstan slapped, don’t come at me. Great vocals and 10/10 adorable

 

[VirginiaVision]

But I will be upsetti spaghetti if Armenia doesn’t win

 

[HayashiM]

- too screamy vocals for my taste, but they look cute together. The song wasn't it.

I bet the juries will really dig it...

 

[njdevils94]

was amazing!

 

[AlekS]

- as much as I'm into her staging, I can't get into her vocals.

 

[VirginiaVision]

Anna lost my vote solely because she didn’t wear yellow

 

[NemesisNick]

#ALB - Albania - Quite a powerful song. Going by what was on the background screen early on, is this song about bullying / hate?

 

[VirginiaVision]

Olena is a STAR! I hope she has great success after this contest

 

[NemesisNick]

#UKR Ukraine - A good quality power ballad. Well staged too, with various lighting effects. This could do well.

 

[HayashiM]

Olena was brilliant. I don't see her reaching much of the voting audience, but she was brilliant nevertheless.

 

[AlekS]

- finally, the first our entry & staging in a while that I'm proud of
Still shooketh

- the song is silly, but he's super charismatic and he can win imo. I like the staging.

 

[NemesisNick]

#FRA France - The host nation now, and they've gone for a lively entry. A middle of the road contender though, I think.

 

[HayashiM]

Compared to previous years, I feel this is quite a downgrade from France. Pity.

 

[AlekS]

- not the best song, but I like her vocals. The only confusion I have right now... the dress looks like a wedding dress.

 

[NemesisNick]

#AZE Azerbaijan - A reasonable ballad, and the girl can sing, but I think she was almost screaming at times, which I think spoilt the performance.

 

[AlekS]

I like her staging, even despite dancers didn't match (one is taller than the other) and their shadows reminded me a crab)) She forgot vocals at the hotel Even despite all of this, I like what I see.
