Euromonday: Vi odio
Due to unfortunate circumstances (losing the paper that I wrote the rankings on) this week's Eurovision rankings are posted a day late. This week we have quite a few genres - rock, pop, and reggaeton - and all are fairly boring (or in Spain's case, tasteless).
40. Spain
Rodolfo Chikilecuatre - "Baila El ChikiChiki"
Reaction: I secretly kind of like this song. I know it's a parody of pop music and Eurovision from a Spanish TV channel and it's very poorly produced, with completely tasteless lyrics, but at "Perrea! Perrea!" I laugh a little. However, even though the song is short, it gets old quick.
Best Part: Chorus "Y el chikichiki se baila asi: Uno, el breakindance. Dos, el crusaito. Tres, el miquelyason. Cuatro, el robocop."
Ranking: 1/5
39. San Marino
Miodio - "Complice"
Reaction: This is a dull rock song that has potential - the melody and instrumentation wouldn't be so bad if they were louder and done with more passion. The song sounds like everyone involved with it is too bored and too apathetic to get really angry or mopey.
Best Part: Intro
Ranking: 2/5
38.Turkey
Mor ve Otsi - "Deli"
Reaction: I guess it's not a bad rock song, but it's not my thing. It isn't very catchy to my ears, and I find it to be uninteresting alternative rock.
Best Part: Chorus
Ranking: 2/5
37. Hungary
Csezy - "Candlelight"
Reaction: This song is pretty, but it puts me to sleep and doesn't incite any emotional response from me. It also feels dated.
Best Part: Verses
Ranking: 2/5
36. Denmark
Simon Mathews - "All Night Long"
Reaction: For a song about celebrating all night long, this sure is mellow. It's old-fashioned and the lyrics are beyond repetitive.
Best Part: Bridge
Ranking: 2/5
Next week I'll rank songs 31-35, hopefully on time.
1 Comments:
Spain keeps moving up for me as I listen to it more. Certainly better than Estonia and Ireland in the novelty song category.
I agree completely about San Marino and Denmark - pleasant but forgettable.
I find Turkey rather ordinary (though I like it more than what they sent last year), but of course, it will do well.
I like Hungary a bit more than you do (not great, but at least average).
