The BLOGG CAST MEETS NATIONAL SELECTIONS SPIN OFF
G: Grant
A: Anna
Hello listeners, this is you bloggcasters Grant and Anna here and we have a very special edition of the bloggcast today.
A: Hello viewers, that is right we have a special show for you today. We have been cordially invited to view and blogg on the Grand final of
Namimori & 
Qasentria 歌う男波川鳥杏：第2幕 - 決勝G: Thats right, Namimori & Qasentria have once again joined together to host a national selection that comprises of 6 entries from both countries. We will rank and give our opinion on each song, give each song a score out of 10 and rank them below. We will have 3 lists, a country scoreboard for each country and a combined scoresheet. The Combined sheet will be out of 50.
We best get started.
A: So we start with a reminder of the previous edition entries of each country. Now these two songs I remember did extremely well in the show, 8th and 11th respectively and they were great choices. A great start to the show especially now the pressure to continue that success.
G: The first song is "Dance No Riyuu" and what a way to start the show, the energy the music the dancing this is great. Plus the design is incredible. What do you think Anna ?
A: The design of the show is fantastic, so modern and so high tec, literally incredible and I agree! after seeing the previous entries this is a brilliant start to the show, high energy and just great. Namimori so far 8/10 in your group and 40/50 combined.
Next is
Namimori again with "Queen of the Night"G: Are they kidding me? Are they actually kidding me. This ... is ... AMAZING! THE POWER THE POP THE PARTY THE EXCELLENCE. This will rock the stage so much ! What a performance. we are 2 acts in and it is already this good. This is it!
A: Absolutely, that costume and the stage presence just works. If this carries on we could see a front runner for Fantasia right here. Can we give this a 10, surely not so soon. A 9/10 maybe even a 9.5 so good. and 48/50 combined.
"Midnight" is next and this is the first entry from
Qasentria.G: It can be difficult to perform after that but she had confidence and the song was nice mellow disco vibe. Very nice but after two knockouts it is so tough. A 6/10 for us but on it own it does play well. its a 31/50 combined.
"Hibana" is next again for
Qasentria.A: This again, does not quite stand out as to level I would expect. The song is nice but then is nice going to win Fantasia. After edition 24, this song I think would not meet that level but The White Havens do not get to vote so perhaps other countries will react differently.
G: The band are so talented, and again if the running order was different would they have gone better. 5/10 and a combined score of 26/50.
Namimori are in position 5 with "Nude Model"A: That music sounds so good, I might have to visit Namimori one day as the way they play is exotic and exciting. This does not meet their first two entries but still a nice song to listen to. 7/10 with a combined score of 34/50.
"Morphine Dreams" by
Qasentria is in position 6.G: It got a innocence to the tone of the music and the performance itself make it very vulnerable and i think that really works for the piece and the lyrics in the song. The singer get the emotion and can get that through to us as listeners. 7/10 again with a combined score of 36/50.
Next by
Qasentria is "Black"A: The Intense drama in this song is very good and clever and feels dark but same time gives a sense of hope for the end of the song. I am listening and feeling the struggle that the story is telling.
G: Exactly you get that sense of hurt and emotion that feel like it comes from personal experiences and that really helps the performance especially the cotton web that is used. 7.5/10 with a combined score of 38/50.
Next is
Namimori "Who I Am"A: Really good song, I almost thought it was Miley Cyrus for a moment with that deep husk to the voice but the music maybe it more unique and that was really good some nice staging. Overall Namimori is impressive. 7.5/10 with a score of 39/50 combined
Namimori is back with "Dou Niu" G: I was not expecting any indie/rock in this semi final and here it is. It not I would have expected and you can tell this is quite different to the other songs represented here. Now I know there is a big following for rock with Sirenforest sending Enemy Inside this edition so it needs to go big or face being outshone. 4/10, sadly this does not do it for us. A combined of 19/50.
"Jean Grey" represents
Qasentria.A: Isn't Jean Grey from X-Men? She is an awesome x-man but I do not think this style with the rap and lyrics really work for me, it feels a bit clunky and the rhythm seems off beat. Maybe there is a reference I missed but this does not work. 2/10 with a combined of 12/50
Last entry for
Namimori and it is "Don't Touch Me"G: It is decent and classin girl pop band sort of song. A great way to kick start your identity as I am not familair with this band. I do not think they will win but this platform will boost their potential in the future. 6/10 with a combined of 30/50
Qasentria send the final entry with "Wilderness World"A: Another nice song and good say the end the national selection. The song was simple but effective and should gain traction. 6.5/10 and a score of 35/50.
G: And that is the show over. We have heard all 12 songs and all 6 representatives from each country. Our favourites are
"Black" and "Queen of the Night". We wish the best of luck to all those competing.A: Absolutely, whoever wins for each country we wish them luck and thank them for allowing us to watch the show. "Queen of the Night" is top of the 12. We thank you all who tuned in to listen and we hope to see you all again soon
See you next time and Blogg!
