The “Expert” Panel reviews Romania: Ester Peony – On A Sunday | (Eurovision 2019)

It’s back! The (in)famous ESC United “Expert” Panel is returning once again! While we don’t claim to be professionally qualified to judge anything, we certainly have strong opinions, so our staff and editors got together to review all 41 of the songs taking part in the Eurovision Song Contest 2019 which will take place in Tel Aviv, Israel this May.  Which song are we going to pick as our overall favorite, and will #YOU agree with us or decide on a different winner?

Ester Peony is going to represent Romania in the Eurovision Song Contest 2019 with the song On a Sunday. She was the winner of Selectia Nationala, which ultimately gave her the opportunity to represent her country in Tel Aviv, Israel. Our team reviewed the song, discussed the pros and cons and ultimately provided a score. This is the ESC United “Expert” Jury.

Watch our video to get our detailed thoughts and scores and don’t forget to vote in the poll. What score do you give to the Romanian entry? Will the reader’s results differ greatly from ours? We’ll find out soon enough. You can find the team’s individual score in the video.
