The Weedy Review
For those of you reading a Weedy Fantasy Review for the first time,and are rather miffed at my criticism, please dont cry Im mean to all of the songs. Mwuhahahaha! Dami Im Standard shouting from Dami. Formulaic (apart from the slightly Irish bit in the middle), and no different to the Eurovision entry. I am distinctly unimpressed. Mirami More standard pop pap. I did watch the video through to the end, but they got dressed. Kyla and Kygo A whispering non-voice reminiscent of Marianne Faithful (who I didnt like at all). Whiny non-song. Madison Avenue Yawningly tedious dance track. Alan Walker If I was Iselin Solheim Id be pretty pissed that I didnt get a credit on the song (or at least a ft.) for singing it. Instead some skinny oik is trying to claim all the royalties. More tedious nothingness, allegedly electronic dance music. Yohanna I wonder if shes burnt that toilet roll holder dress yet? Bland ballad that goes nowhere. Fitz and the Tantrums This group is described as neo soul. (WTF? I know soul, and this aint it). More elevator music, at least its uptempo. Little Mix the ugly munters from X Factor are all growed up. The song is a boring shouty wail, of course, and they are singing with a chap whose testicles havent dropped yet. Zara Larsson So thats what the Swedes hire going to a costume party (too cold for gorillas) It was the most entertaining part of the song and video. Just another four minutes of scales and tuneless howling. Medegma Dozhieva A Burat Mongol singer, so I had high hopes of something a little different. Its a Ruslana tribute act, with a guitar. I watched this video all the way through as well. Enrique Englasias Dull latin upbeat song with some ignorant Panamanian shouting in the middle. Shame security couldnt keep him out of the studio. Lucius Weird arty unwatchable video. Ordinary pop tune with some electronic music. Francine Jordi Its a bit of schlager, and she looks (and dresses) a bit like Rachel Riley, so Im struggling to find something to complain about. And a key-change, obviously. Tolerable. Oasis The best bit was when Land of Hope and Glory was playing No wonder Blur won. Rocky Sharpe and Replays Dreadful doo-wop, and we can see why the best four disappeared to form the Darts. Naturally, the original by the Edsels is much better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6JbemSdORo Suzanne Vega Oh joy, a dull folk song. It is perfectly understandable why she is playing to an empty theatre. Elle King Country rock pop from a chunky blonde who thinks a lot of herself. Lots of male flesh to delight some of our FMs. Ida LaFontaine Oh, its a girl - with a name like that I was expecting a drag act. Yet another formulaic pop song, probably a MelFest reject. Astrid S More paint-by-numbers pop. But she does have a very pure sounding voice. Bears Den A song that needs the first two eternally insipid minutes removed. And then the rest is just a little boring. The 3 minute rule is there for a reason. Rob Thomas More X-Factor twaddle. Yawn. Nina Nesbitt Ditto. Kylie Minogue Boring pop song. Poor Kylie, stuck with dross like this. Frances More turgid teenage angst. I went and put the bins out, it was more interesting. Victoria Wood Classic. Pudgy northern woman sings nonsense at the piano. Yuliana Karaulova And even more tedious whiny angst, even if it is from Russia. Thunderclap Newman A song from 1969 which was number one for three weeks - when you took your pocket money and changed it for a piece of plastic (instead of downloading it to your phone and letting your parents pick up the tab). Awesome piano solo. Innovative for its time and even now. The Veronicas Didnt someone enter these last year? Monotonous electronic pop, and weve all had dreams about twins, right? Or is it just me ![]() Ward Thomas And weve all had dreams about sisters as well. Or just me again? English country and western music. Sigh.Douwe Egberts And now Dutch country and western music. From a total knob. Next, quick. Ewelina Wisowska Polish eye candy to finish with a pop rock song. She can definitely come into the country after Brexit. Do I have to vote for this garbage? Probably. I can't afford my song to lose a third of its meager number of votes.

I'll give Gwen 404 and JordanC55 until half 5 to get votes to me, while I sort out the rest of the results, I may need to do some calculation reductions.....

I hope I can finally qualify this time. I'm tired of always missing it by just one spot.

20 points seems quite high for last place. I like Oasis but didn't like that song.

Kyla's track felt a bit lazy, something was missing.
