#Montenegro is way intense & serious.

Pass.

#Germany’s entry is a live performance, which is promising.

Not a bad euro pop song with a viola.

#Belgium’s doing 90s trance too, and the singer hits a high note that should kill live.

Pardon me while I bust out some glow sticks.

#Norway’s doing some serious emoting leading to a jaunty but meh chorus.

#Latvia’s got hikers who turn into Galadriels with wire sculptures on their faces.

I have no idea what’s going on, which is usually a good sign.

#Ireland sent a eurodance song about the space dog Laika from a kid’s perspective.

It’s better than a ballad.

#Croatia has a Disney villain singing a song called ‘Poison Cake’.

Not bad, reluctantly.

A poppy edm number from #Iceland with some folk violin thrown in.

Ok, not great but points for not singing in English.

#SanMarino with a cheesy song that has something to do with tomato sauce & DJs.

Emphasis on ‘cheesy’, which is a big plus.

#Italy with a pop song straight out of the 70s accompanied by a funny video with a great story!

#Spain’s ok. It’s another pop vocal over euro beats entry. The contest has a couple of these every year - not bad but not memorable either.

#Georgia’s kicking it old school broadway style.

Not bad, it might be great live performance.

#Greece with ANOTHER depressing ballad (and a power ballad at that).

Another one with no chance of winning out being listened to after the show.

#Malta gets credit for a funny intro. It’s not a ballad & has reggaeton beats.

Not bad.

FINALLY!!! A weird song from #Estonia in English about a lot of Italian things and called ‘Espresso Machiato’.

This is weird, fun, & catchy!

#Slovenia with another ballad AND it’s depressing af.

Skipped this after 15s.

#Serbia entered a lame af ballad. Neither them nor Albania have any chance of winning, let alone being listened to after the contest is over.
