The Weedy Review
For those of you reading a Weedy Fantasy Review for the first time,and are rather miffed at my criticism, please don’t cry – I’m 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 didn’t like at all). Whiny non-song.
Madison Avenue – Yawningly tedious dance track.
Alan Walker – If I was Iselin Solheim I’d be pretty pissed that I didn’t 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 she’s 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 ain’t 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 haven’t dropped yet.
Zara Larsson – So that’s 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. It’s 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 couldn’t keep him out of the studio.
Lucius – Weird arty unwatchable video. Ordinary pop tune with some electronic music.
Francine Jordi – It’s a bit of schlager, and she looks (and dresses) a bit like Rachel Riley, so I’m 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, it’s 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 – Didn’t someone enter these last year? Monotonous electronic pop, and we’ve all had dreams about twins, right? Or is it just me…
Ward Thomas – And we’ve 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.

At the deadline of submission I am pleased to say I have received a respectable 25 entries (Perfect for a Eurovision final if it wasn't for Italy!!) the whole list of songs will be revealed after the results from Fantasy.

Oh and Nick that is just too funny, poor Chickens!

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.....

Normally we wait until the host announces it along with the placement of the song

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.
