Note: It's been a while since I heard any of these songs.
I'm not gonna lie, but there were actually some expectations at first (especially since this song
almost won in Esc Rules Contest a while ago). But well after all the comments / respectively low ranks it received in the Sneak Peak, I knew that this was definitely going to be a disaster ... Just hoping it's not
that bad.
Well, it's been done, it's over and I have to get over this I guess. Still thanks for (hopefully) the handful of points I received from a few people.
The Netherlands: This was a really good song and an also expected qualifier.
Switzerland I really didn't understand what everyone saw in this song, but well congrats for qualifying.
Lebanon: This recap part sounds actually really good so I was hoping for this to be amazing, but well - I was slightly disappointed.
Belgium: Meh! In fact this was in my bottom 3 oops!
Sweden: I just 12ed Isak in another contest a few days ago so guess this says enough.
San Marino: Oh what?
That came really unexpected.
Congrats for that (although I didn't like it lol).
Montenegro: Just like Switzerland above this is really overhyped imo. However it grew on me throughout listening to the songs so it actually made it to my top 10.
Spain: Normally I would like a song like that. But instead it just turned me way off... It was never going to not qualify however.
Russia: Being honest, the only thing I remember from this entry is that I absolutely disliked it. I saw this not finishing lower than 12th / 13th in here, but considering the remaining countries it came like a shock to me lol.
Romania: This was quite an obvious finalist to me - and that may have just been because I really didn't like this.
Fun fact: This list above includes my full bottom 6 lol. Therefore I really disagree with the results (not for the first nor last time though
).
Belarus: I had very low hopes for this in terms of my top, but thought I should better not be like that and actually did listen the full song. And guess what? It somehow made it to the lower top 10 lol. It's non-qualification isn't exactly unexpected imo though.
Denmark: Wait, how did this not qualify?
Finland: Lol I love how this tended to do incredibly well (including winning) in many other contests before and then it gets to Nvsc where it's immediately eliminated. Very undeserved imo btw.
Poland: This song was just so boring to me. But then again, I don't think I listened enough.
Bulgaria: Not that special song (nor outcome), but still I somehow I instantly liked it a lot.
Andorra and
Turkey: I have no memory of these 2 songs at all!
Ukraine: Well that's a shocker.
Azerbaijan: I liked Queen, but have not enough memory of it to say anything more.
