Austria quirky and won't win, but I quite like it.

Portugal is better without the video. More coherent. Ok.

Portigal, is nice. But not really anything memorable.

Bit German caberet for me. Better than this Swiss nonsense though.

If a seal could sing, it would sing like Switzerland.

I still think Switzerland has a few parts of Rag'n'Bone Man and one other I can't remember at the top of my head.

I liked this one in the semi-final.

I think it's just because it's actually got a hook to it in the chorus - and, these days, songs just don't have melodies or hooks anymore.

Also, '80s vapourwave background is a good way to please my nostalgia for extra points.

Poland is a bit a toe-tapper. An has a dance break.

Now I got it with Poland - it reminds me of some kind of generic Disney youth series with lots of singing in. A 1000 bimbos in one.

Poland channeling Aqua-style 90s bubblegum pop rather than anything decently 80s, IMO.

Ah, yes.

I also liked this one in the semi, because it's dark and discordant.

Which isn't very Eurovision, but that's kind of why I like it.


Although, I don't get the Street Fighter "FIght!" and then unplugging the dancers thing. What's that all about?
