I wasn't planning on doing personal reviews this year either but here we go after all. Truth to be said I have listened the entries 0-2 times before sitting down now to comment them. Let's go!
The usual Blogilkar's home jury will reunite later and the results revealed in due time. meanwhile, my thoughts and comments on the entries of Eurovision song contest series is right here.
Greece - Akylas - Ferto *****
Ok, this is this years Käärijä/Joost/Baby Lasagna/Tommy Cash but Akylas has what the others have missed since Käärijä: the cute bubbly personality that I can't not adore. The song's also fun, catchy but not studid. The arrangement throws in nice nuances and the ballad bit fits and is beautiful and very, very Greek. Great job. I hope this makes the Top-5. Should this win I wouldn't be too sad but this more of a tyoical runner up like song. Instead of the national final video I want to add here the preview video as it shows best his personality.
Moldova - Satoshi - Viva, Moldova! ***
Moldova is at it again, what they do best. A banger that's loud, catchy, Moldovan, crazy enough to make televoters take their phone and vote. Another Top-10 finish thanks to them coming I suspect. This is real energy boost.
Portugal - Bandidos do Canto - Rosa **
Portugal does what Portugal dores: goes its own way not carring what the others think. Sometimes it pays off , sometimes not. This year might be one of those when Portugal stays in the semis, but then again I have a feeling they could just squeeze in as the shock qualifier for the fandom. A bit I hope they do. If they do they won't go far in the final, 20something. But I'd love to prove I am wrong and they do a lot better than anyone believes in mid March (when writing this)
