It would've won anyway.
You can repay me by giving me a 12, 10, 8 and maybe a 7 depending on if I have 4 countries or not

That's just the deadline to enter by. Those who enter prior to that will get their country beforehand.
Please make sure you all free up some of your PM space so that I can send you your countries! GreekFan, I'm looking at you
Just so everyone knows, the following countries have been claimed for ROTW:
Brazil
Canada
Colombia
India
Japan
Mexico
Papua New Guinea
South Korea
Venezuela
Vietnam
You can still rank them, I guess, but you won't be getting them.

Boo! I only got my 4th choice of ROTW country. Now I'm pretty sure someone will send the same song I wanted for my 1st choice country. You guys are fast.
Entered ROTW Rank. This is purely an experiment. Going in blind and seeing what comes up. Have no preconceptions or expectations!
South Korea hey? Is that Dami Im i am going hear?

Probably a better music scene than Bosnia!
QF1
Lebanon - I was all set to write this off as a pretty boy dirge until that chorus hit. A decent start to the playlist.
Ireland - Well that went south quickly. Indie doesn't appeal to me, even more so since they're playing to the Nashville crowd with the faux-American thing.
Kosovo - This is tamer than Elvana's usual stuff. I like the random buzzing sound like when you hold a mic too close to a speaker.
That aside it's a decent bit of summer fluff.
Shetland - And this is why you don't eat those curious looking mushrooms in the woods. I love the mix of chill and then some sick dirty beats.
Estonia - I'm sure she felt free with that supply of 'Colombian sugar'.
It's a bit Eesti Laul SF filler.
Liechtenstein - "I've escaped my capture and have no master" #FreeKesha! A very cathartic track that suits where Kesha is at. Although I do hope the poppers in the air anthems still make a comeback.
Switzerland - People look so ugly when they cry. Jael's voice is just heaven itself. This would be great as a film soundtrack.
Hungary - Joni's still got it. She needs to return to A Dal pronto.
Azerbaijan - Sorry Safura, but Drip Drop it certainly ain't! Far too long for what it is. I gave up during the second chorus, so I never got to hear the inevitable key change.
Belarus - What sycophantic, self-indulgent rot. I expected nothing less with Rybak. The only good thing you gave us is MILKI.
Belgium - This is a bit Foxes and the addition of a semi-naked man is always a nice bonus in a music video.
Italy - I have no time for drippy male ballads. At least this of his that was entered into Fantasy was an upbeat ditty.
Cyprus - The Mediterranean Minx delivering the goods as always.
Serbia - Take notes Hermitage Green! I shouldn't like this, but surprisingly it's a little bit of a toe-tapper and I do like when something is Irished up. The banjo also helps.
Russia - Children - check, War - check, Religion - check, Love - check, World - check. I think we have full house on this bingo card. It all feels like a bizarre parody except Sophie didn't get the memo.
Monaco - Much better than his Fantasy entry. God I'd let him do wicked things to me. <3
Bosnia Herzegovina - They've made war-torn Bosnia look pretty. I feel like I shouldn't be surprised she's managed to find a 'keys in a bowl' party. A nice upbeat finish to the playlist.

Yay, a review from Lisa!
And, my song received a positive one too. So, I hope it will escape this quarter final.
I'm excited for the ROTW songs as I think a lot of us has sent our best in there.

QF1 Review
LEBANON: Kinda powerful, however I find it really hard to connect with french songs and the fact that this is audio only doesn't help much.
IRELAND: Indie perfection <3
KOSOVO: I get that this is Kosovo and I have sympathy for the player but this is generic club nonsense.
SHETLAND ISLANDS: Can't say that the song is bad but I personally never enjoyed this kind of tunes, video is weird and kinda depressing
ESTONIA: She's got the looks and the personality in her voice but she hasn't got the song.
LIECHTENSTEIN: Quite good, Kesha's best song I've heard ( not that I've heard many but anyway )
SWITZERLAND: It's cute, a bit boring maybe
HUNGARY: I like this
AZERBAIJAN: Very dated and boring.
BELARUS: I had a search for Belarus the other day, I couldn't find anything close to solid so I get why the player who got the country eventually entered Rybak. The song is decent compared to the other belarusian offerings atm but nothing special really
BELGIUM: Enjoying this!
ITALY: Okay
CYPRUS: Generic greek, I will pass
SERBIA: Interesting instrumentation, I appreciate what they are trying to do.
RUSSIA: Dislike the song and the way she's singing
MONACO: Damn he's very easy on the eye. And his ( cover of ) pilowtalk is stunning. Hopefully this song will grow on me, I think the verses are better than the chorus.
BOSNIA HERZEGOVINA: Some cheap female pop for the end. It could be slutty and it isn't though so points for that
