North Vision Song Contest 38 • Sneak Peek 2

The ITALIAN PRESS
1. Marocco
I was taken aback a little bit here. Like, WOAH. These beats. I am, flabbergasted. Jesus Christ! This is absolutely dead on arrival. But... I love it! I love this risk. I love it. Kostas, I think that's your name, you're doing a great job. My hips have moved from the left, to the right. Now now, you need to reframe how this entry is coming across. This is a common theme for this sneak peek, I'm not fully sure why. But, I need some edgy visuals. Give me a girl on a wire. Give me, a man levitating above a lake as boats crash and drown in the ocean beneath. I don't know. But, it's truly in my thoughts. I do believe this is PQRing but hugs.

2. Islanda
Just like Cyprus, this is another one which has a gorgeous package on its way, however it appears that it's been in transit. Now, the NBU did you dirty by placing you in 02. I sympathise as another 02 girl. However, this song is it for me. The entire Northvision community, and by large the SCF community, knows how much I enjoy a tepid spoken word with the vibe of ASMR. Hell, I even supported that in Konkrit! This is no Konkrit. Actually, if this had like a Konkrit style remix I think you would have had a good chance of winning the edition. Ultraflex? I don't know a better duo.

3. Cipro
Jakub, welcome to Northvision! I absolutely cherish your presence here, and I am devastated in not being able to give you the Jackie that you deserve. In fact, I held off on Jackie until you were to get into NVSC. Now, this song. It's quite good actually. It definitely like a non-competitive Jakub send, but I actually think you have a market for this. However, the colour palette is all wrong. I commend the work, but I need more red, more gold, more power. These darker shades aren't fully selling the song for me. I don't need any bisexual lighting, not in the slightest. I have a whole staging package for this actually. If you're interested, DM me, and we'll see what we can come up with.

4. Bosnia ed Erzegovina
I did not come into this with an open mind in the slightest. In fact, on the Italian Press' initial reaction of this sneak peek, Bosnia was not rated. However, in the rating which matters, which is the rating from RIGHT NOW!!! the sway was real. Muha is a talented woman. Her music knows no limits. This Serbo-bosno-croatian HIT is something which I could see played by the seashore of Dalmatia in the summer. I would love if you keep this up. Does this mean points? It's a grower...

5. Ucraina
Right so hi. This is an okay song actually! It's not that bad. It's not GREAT, ERIA is most certainly NOT being as epic as she thinks she is, in fact, I completely understand why UA:PBC declined this song because her manager didn't pay the bribe. Northvision is well known for its bribery, so maybe her manager will be able to pull some strings here? Nonetheless, this is still an upgrade from whatever Anna Trincher was doing last edition. Right.

6. Kazakistan
I can smell a stinky synth from a mile off. Now, I did find this song at the time. I contemplated to myself, this song is something that would probably do well amongst the Northvision community. Do I actually want to donate this? Do I want to inflict this crisis upon the contest. Before I had the opportunity, I saw a glorious post made by Ivo which did indeed include this song. I gave it something like a five or a six out of ten. And that stands today. If the song came on the radio, I would groove, before changing the station. And that brings me to Ukraine.

7. Svezia
It pains my gut that the Swedish nation plummets down my rankings, but there's just something with this song that continues to itch my skin more and more with every listen. And before you say it, it's not a rash. It's just common sense. Last edition was a great direction in terms of Swedish-Italian relations, but the Italian press feel as if we've gone back to square one. We entirely respect the work and dedication that goes into Fantasifestivalen. But, I do not respect the voters. Most particularly Germany, who I believe gave 12 to this song in the selection. Anyhow, I hope the singer whose name I forgot even if she's singing 'remember my name' (how ironic) has a good day. And I hope you do too. I hope that we can get on the right path from here.

8. Ungheria
Hi Apostolis and Gery. Look, I know that you're struggling. I sympathise with it, as someone who has also struggled with the North Vision Song Contest, trust me, I really have. This is the sort of song that if it were to be sent for Greece, EurovisionFun would be saying it's the second coming of Mother Theresa. Unfortunately, you cannot spin this song in a positive way. I think that you have a spectacular spin doctor in Apostolis, but I would recommend hiring me for a cheap €10 a month and I would love to help you. Think if it like Queer Eye, but for NVSC. I'm so sorry for what's going to come you way. Love you Gery. Apostolis, anyway.

All in all, this sneak peek, in the eyes of the Italian Press, marked itself for its uniqueness, diversity, and struggle. We've come a long way from Sneak Peek One, that's right, we have, so I commend all the participants here. Even Hungary. You're doing great. Maybe.
