04. :fi: Amazing atmosphere in this and a piano helps many times
Good
05. :hu: An interesting bit. I don't need the rap part tho
06. :is: Sounds like a classic. The real Britney should try this genre as well
07. :no: I get summer eve vibes from the verses. The chorus destroys that a little
Nice
08. :ua: Rock has it easy in my ranking. This is decent enough
09. :be: Her voice is stunning, the song is just alright
10. :cz: A good one. Simplicity is always fine
Okay
11. :bg: It reminds me of Justin Bieber, but is an okayish pop song at least.
12. :fr: Not the best example of french pop, but hey: at least it's french
13. :pl: A little tooo much of drama, could be awesome otherwise
14. :am: Lacks of structure a lot, but it's ethno so...
15. :sm: When Ralph Siegel begins to parody himself. This will be gold on stage
16. :md: As if the sax guy isn't enough, they have brides and stunning dance moves
17. :at: I would've listened to this in the 2000's. But he seems to have fun
18. :nl: Charming harmony between the girls, letting it grew on me
19. :hr: The self-called 'Best Singer' tries much and entertains me a lot
20. :uk: The melody/instrumental is good, the singer is not my cup of tea
21. :me: Dat lyrics 2! Parents, get your children out^^
The acceptable It's all the same kind of blandness to me, all lacking of soul
22. :ch:
23. :cy:
24. :de:
25. :az:
26. :ee:
27. :au:
28. :il:
29. :se:
30. :al:
31. :rs:
32. :ro: Here I need to make clear, that the yodelling is the best gimmick and helped it getting out of annoying
33. :mk:
Annoying
34. :es: Chapeau to the one, being able to destroy a guitar pop song for me. For whom shall I do what?
35. :dk: Stop screaming. Not cool!
36. :gr: Can it get cheaper?
37. :lv: Ermmm. No words!
38. :sl: Not even in the 90's had Robbie Williams sung smth like this
39. :ie: Did he ever feel any emotion?
40. :lt: I can't even say, what I feel about this. It's just a weird noise
Horrible
41. :mt: Cry a little more, and you're the last one
42. :ru: For the worst english in the competition. Ridiculous
43. :ge: Stop overacting

Here is my first ranking with (first) comments. I might easily switch some places later... especially for the ranking outside Top 10 it's very hard to say what is accurate because there is much competition in that area so it's possibly a little random. :lol:

I'm even a little surprised that I find 4 songs great... that's pretty good. xthink Fair enough, some of those songs are maybe not straightforward great but for ESC standards they for sure are.

Great
01. :fi: The atmosphere of this song is amazing so is the part between 2:00 and 2:30. Some ambient elements, too? Bless you Finland xheart
02. :pt: Very charming and original choice. The instrumentation and arrangement here is lovely (I would just prefer little less voice gimmicks in live, though).
03. :be: I love the atmosphere and darkness here and her mysterious, dreamy voice perfectly fits this song. Finally a good choice from Belgium. I enjoy it a lot!
04. :by: Genuine and heartwarming -- exactly the opposite of what one would expect to see from Belarus. Better than all their previous entries alltogether. Lovely surprise.


Good
05. :it: This song has a very good, powerful chorus but it's still hardly a type of song I can find great (and I'm not a fan of his voice and the transition).
06. :is: Good atmospheric electro-pop song; Icelandic artists can hardly do something wrong no matter of the genre.
07. :mk: Nice surprise from Macedonia. Some pretty likeable parts and elements here; perhaps the chorus could be little less generic but even that is acceptable.


Nice
08. :al: Pretty good instrumentation + decent melody -> enough for my Top 10.
09. :az: Not sure what to comment here but my ears accept what they hear. Nice-ish song but nothing too exciting.


Decent
10. :am: This song has some very interesting elements; but chorus could be stronger. In other words: the idea is very good, the implementation not that much.
11. :uk: Maybe with a different singer this would work a bit better, but they (surprisingly) did a good job with revamp.
12. :fr: A bit messy, but I like some parts.


From okay-ish to meh-ish - but acceptable
13. :hu: Nice folk elements; but a little too much whining in arabic style and rap for my liking.
14. :bg: Okay-ish modern-pop song; but the chorus could be stronger.
15. :rs: A few nice elements here or there, but still a little too flat as a whole.
16. :ee: A little too schlager-ish + some pretty bland parts.
17. :cz: A little too bland, simple and forgettable + I'm not even sure about this chord progression/melody.
18. :pl: Some nice-ish instrumentations (here or there) wasted (this shouldn't be taken literally) on a dull melody.
19. :hr: Interesting mess; but bad disney ballad parts still prevent me from liking this. Secretly I hope for a car-crash performance in Daria Kinzer style xheart


Meh - less acceptable (read: I don't like it but it's not super bad)
20. :ro: Yodelling helps it to reach a little higher place -- that's just hilarious. Male parts are still pretty bad, though, but at least it's an interesting idea.
21. :no: Tbh I don't really remember how does the song sound like to write a proper comment... but that also probably sums up what I think of it.
22. :mt: Dat cheese! But I spotted some nice instrumentations and it doesn't bother me as much as it could so that saves it a bit.
23. :au: It's hearable but way too generic and blank. I hope it somehow fails because this safe Australian game annoys me.
24. :ch: Whatever...
25. :at: This is on the edge of being an annoying boyband pop song, but for now I still find it just very underwhelming and boring.
26. :dk: Kinda decent for Denmark standards; still pretty bad.


Ugh
27. :ru: I read she sings in English?
28. :lv: Not my style, but it's not as annoying as it could be.
29. :de: If I had to describe a flat line with a song, this would be the one.
30. :ge: To steal some words from my friend above: scream a little more, and I might consider putting you into the horror section.
31. :ua: So underwhelming that it hurts me.
32. :nl: This is a... song?
33. :lt: This is a total trainwreck, but at least that makes me laugh.
34. :cy: So underwhelming that it hurts me #2
35. :se: Annoying as hell.
36. :es: Annoying as hell #2


The horror
37. :sm: No idea what to even say here... I hate this kind of songs.
38. :sl: Seriously... this is not even a song.
39. :ie: 10-year-old-sounding-boy singing a bad cliché ballad? Wonderful combination for yet another place in my bottom 5, Ireland xheart
40. :me: Traaaaaash
41. :il: Traaaaaash #2
42. :gr: Traaaaaash #3
43. :md: Literally: intelligence-insulting.

I have some serious questions about your ranking.

Belarus, Estonia, San Marino and Romania have parts with male vocals. How can they be better than Albania and Germany in your ranking although those are only female-driven? Isn't this defying all your principles?

You should've seen him on ESCForum when Laura wasn't selected last year. Funny how the song she's trying with this year is so much worse.
