Ukraine 2022 • Kalush Orchestra - "Stefania"

I listened to what's available so far, and this is my top. I'm rather disappointed about the selection ...

1. Kalush Orchestra - Stefania
Let me start this comment by calling this a very standout-ish entry.
I like it a lot, although it's probably a bit too close to Shum (that I can actually hear in the chorus) to make it to Turin. What I particularly like is that it's a male vocalist after Tulia and Go_A, aka the previous white voices, were female. The rap part came very unexpected to me, lol. That was nicely done, but I'm still trying to figure out whether it fits or not.

2. Roxolana - Girlzzzz
This song has - first of all - a award title. That's probably just me, however.
Apart from that, I like this entry a lot as well. She has a very beautiful voice, and in the video, it looks like she had fun recording. A downer I'd like to mention is that the song, despite being good, has an unfortunate tendency towards monotonous. But can we talk about the part in Ukrainian? That caught me off guard but got me so obsessed.

3. Michael Soul - Demons
This entry is not bad either - another unique voice - what I'd like to mention is its drop that I fear is a bit too long. The full song also ends way too abrupt for my liking. Overall, surely not bad, but Idk how many more times I'll listen. It also feels a bit misplaced in Eurovision?
Also, I didn't know it was possible to pronounce "Demons" without the "m."

4. Cloudless - All be alright
It's not bad, but neither very good. Especially after the first minute, it also becomes quite lengthy.

5. Alina Pash - Tini Zabutykh Predkiv
Yeah, it's another very standout-ish song by both instrumental and singing style. Personally, I'm not a fan, however. What I especially dislike is the lack of a melody ...

6. Our Atlantic - Moia Liubov
Another good vocalist, but that's about it here ... Because there's nothing else that's interesting me. In fact, this entry is just there.

7. Barleben - Hear my words
This is very hard to judge since I only heard a 30-second thing. He has a very beautiful voice, but the song is just so boring.

Not ranked:
Wellboy - Nozzy Bossy
This song isn't out yet, so I couldn't rank it.
