DONADONADONADONADONADONA

20. FYR Macedonia
Kaliopi - “Dona”
Reaction: You say “outdated,” I say “timeless.” That repeated refrain is perfectly catchy and passionate.
Best Part: DONADONADONADONADONADONA
Rating: 3/5

19.Spain
Barei - “Say Yay!”
Reaction: Though a little unpolished, the chorus and disco-influenced instrumentation is such an uplifting crowd-pleaser.
Best Part: “You keep on climbing over hills!
/Right now you´re following your dreams!
”
Rating: 3/5

18.Netherlands
Douwe Bob - “Slow Down”
Reaction: The Netherlands has really found their niche in Eurovision lately, haven't they? Americana and authentic singer-songwriter is the way to go, as long as they don't go too artificial like “You and Me.” Good message and smooth, soothing voice.
Best Part: “Every morning there's another start/every morning hits so hard”
Rating: 3/5

17. Denmark
Lighthouse X - “Soldiers of Love”
Reaction: This is a typically Danish Eurovision entry, mid-tempo and middle-of-the-road. It's oddly named the same as Belgium's 1987 entry, which is a classic and much much better, but another association with another song elevates this. The chorus sounds very similar to German schlager gem “Atemlos durch die Nacht” by Helene Fischer, which somehow the whole Eurovision fan community knows, especially since it was parodied in this year's Melodifestivalen.
Best Part: Chorus
Rating: 3/5

16. Malta
Ira Losco - “Walk on Water”
Reaction: This basically sounds like Molly Pettersson-Hammar's two Melodifestialen songs, which are completely fabulous and soulful, and so is this. Despite the Swedish roots, it might not make you want to walk on water, but rather walk on a Maltese beach.
Best Part: First part of chorus
Rating: 3/5
