[INVASION]
QF3 review
Netherlands - Bit different to her real entry isn't it. Never been a fan of her voice though, sorry. 6
Svalbard - Who/what is Broiler? This is good, liking it. 9
Moldova - I kinda think I should completely dislike this but there's something endearing. I think it's the instrumental. 7
Andorra - Uno Direccion with actual Anastacia eh? Not bad per se, just generic. 6
Australia - Kinda Balkan this, what's with the rugby player? Decent enough ballad. 7
Greenland - I see what people are saying - a lot of middling songs which blend into each other a bit. A little better than the last few. 8
Iran - Not what you expect from Iran. There's been some decent examples of this kind of song, but bit sure if this is one. 6
Wales - That prominent flag of St George is...interesting. Enjoyed this - a real break in the dull. 9
Belgium - She's got some good songs hasn't she - not as good as her last one but good. 8
Poland - Bit screechy but at least it's got some oomph behind it. 8
Italy - Oh I was hoping for a proper, wild Italo-rocker like her last one. Disappointing. 7
Romania - Good to see CAT music restoring their monopoly. This actually isn't bad - I was waiting for her to scream the windows out/break down into dubstep but it didn't. 8
France - I feel this'd work better in French. Another middling ballad. 7
Chechnya - I like the tune but not so sure about his voice. Hmm...No. 6
Hungary - This song feels...mysterious. I really like her voice, this is good. 9
Western Asia - Oof, sorry, I don't get Bollywood at all. However, I do sympathise with anyone unlucky enough to get Western Asia. 5
Turkey - German for Turkey...what next, French for Austria?! Oh... This is nice, can't really say any more than this. 7
Spain - I didn't think I'd like this at first but as it goes on, the 60s retro-coolness, yeah I like this . 9

Yey, I really like Imany.
Sad that Greece went out, thought it was going to do relatively well.

Obviously once I got the right song in the playlist I don't know how the mix up happened as I was clicking the links in the spreadsheet which were correct.

Aww, I missed another last place by 2 points. To be fair, I think I gave Dappy my 8.
Serbia's awful. So, why not go out with something fun.
I'm in danger of being wipeout now as QF 3 is strong.

Cyprus are having a good year.

Azores appears to have fallen through the Earth.

I am sad at some of the results. I love Monaco and I liked the Emma song actually but unfortunately with my car problems, jag had to vote for me and I couldn't remember everything that I really liked on my phone so my votes are probably not quite what I would have done
