The Polish Delegation’s Tmblrvision 2017 Reviews: 1st Half

As many of us here, I have plenty of onions about the @tmblrvision songs, so I’m writing a little review of what I thought for each song. This season was really good, and there are only a couple songs I outright didn’t like, so it’s fun to listen again to make these reviews! I’m starting with the 1st half only since there were so many songs, but I do plan to get to the 2nd half too.

01 Germany This song may have been an unfortunate victim of being blocked in the US, or being 1st in the running order, because I can barely remember it. I just remember it being nice to listen to. Because I do remember it’s pleasant, it goes on the good end of the scale. 6/10.

02 Egypt Another pleasant but not memorable song. Didn’t have enough buildup for me to really like it- my favorites usually have that. Not bad though! 5/10.

03 Moldova Though I didn’t care for this at first, which means I didn’t end up voting for it, a few listens later I was enchanted by this song. Her voice and the Romanian language remind me of gentle water and I feel like I could be carried away by it. 8/10.

04 Belarus This isn’t really my style of music, and I really wish Bianka would’ve won the NF, however the song gives me a futuristic and dream-like vibe which is a cool atmosphere. 6/10.

05 Finland How did this do so badly in jury vote????? I don’t understand! Though it didn’t wind up in my top 10, her voice has power and emotion and Finnish rapping is so unique. 7.5/10.

06 Albania A pretty song with a strong voice, but got a bit lost in all the other strong songs of the competition. Looks and sounds like something that would actually go to Eurovision! 6.5/10.

07 Jordan For such an upbeat song, the lyrics really get me down. A nice danceable pop song though. Glad Jordan finished better this year! 6.5/10.

08 Czechia Thwarted by geoblocking again! This song is really incredible but as I didn’t get to hear it all at first, it didn’t make my original voting list and so I couldn’t sneak it into my limited number of votes. A powerful and rocking song. 8.5/10.

09 Russia It’s hard to disappoint with Russia, their music industry produces some great stuff. Definitely want to dance to this one. Still, it did get lost within the full lineup of songs. 7/10.

10 Israel Super-cute song, even makes me like ukulele! (Ukuleles were ruined for me after I had to hear “Hey, Soul Sister” too many times.) Needed an excuse to cut down my voting list though and ended up dropping this one because the music video freaked me out. But a very sweet winner! 8.5/10.

11 Montenegro This is Adele if she stopped whining and sang with better technique, and I love it. So much fire here. Originally heard this song and gave it my 12 in another contest, so 12 points for this one here too! 10/10.

12 Andorra Holy mood change, Batman. Personally I can best describe this song as weird. Would not vote, but respect those who would vote. 4/10.

13 Lithuania If I recall correctly, the Lithuanian HoD was the same one as last year and I LOVE their music taste. Wanted to give this my 12, but I also wanted to give 2 other songs my 12, and I gave Lithuania my 12 last year. But this is super catchy and makes me want to dance around my workplace too. I really wanna be a star! 10/10.

14 Portugal It’s a nice song, but my feelings on Shawn are “eh” since he has other songs I really don’t like. Maybe I went into this biased, but I had to judge the songs somehow. 7/10.

15 Tunisia The main singer’s voice and singing style are really cool, a good pick to represent a North African country. I wasn’t as enthusiastic about the other singer though and didn’t like those parts as much. 7/10.

16 Bulgaria What happened to my stage-owning Na Inat and ILWAC Poli? Pleasant but not a standout. I’m also constantly afraid of her falling in those heels in this video. 6.5/10.

17 Iceland I am a sucker for brass like this and will totally jam to it. Whoever wrote the lyrics also had a good ear for the sounds of the words, since they flow together really well, like they’re part of the music themselves. Love this! 9.5/10.

18 Monaco Another song in the weird category. Weirder than Andorra for sure. Not my style of weird either, though it seems to be some people’s style of weird (all those 1 pts!) 3/10.

19 Armenia If you know my music taste well enough you’ll know that I love solid beats. The drums in this are so my style and I feel like I’m being called to climb mountains and start fires. Really good, so glad I voted for it. 9/10.

20 Denmark I’ve heard other Eivør songs in previous contests and I feel let down by this one. She’s done some really cool atmospheric and ancient-sounding stuff and this feels like an average ballad. 5.5/10.

21 Algeria This country has produced some really great artists in various contests! Love Zaho (and sent her to Eslariavision), so I’m really glad to see her create another dark but danceable tune, and thanks for the HoD who entered it! 9/10.

22 Slovakia I never quite decided how I feel about this song. I like it, but it was never enough to lift it into voting territory. Was pretty attracted to Lina in the video though... 7/10.

23 Turkey Has the strong beats and cool instrumentation I’ve come to expect from Turkish music. It looks like a summer party song from the video, but from the sound I’d probably play it for running or fighting or something intense like that. 7/10.

24 Bosnia and Herzegovina Didn’t care for this song on first listen because I didn’t watch it with lyric subtitles. Watched it later with the lyrics, felt awful because I didn’t have it in my jury votes, televoted many times. This should’ve done better, it’s a song we all can relate to. Well, I don’t have a prostate but I can relate to the rest. 9.5/10.

25 Greece I have mixed feelings about this song. On one hand I feel that her voice is too weak and blends with the instruments too much. On the other hand this gets stuck in my head constantly and then I get the urge to dance in the street. So I think in the end it’s a good choice. 8/10.

26 Lebanon Sadly shot down in the rankings, I think, by its lack of a music video. It’s a nice chill song, and I like the guitar in it. 7/10.

27 Switzerland Nuela Charles can be sent for at least 3 countries, I think, so it’s not a surprise we saw her again. I liked her Africavision song much better though (and would’ve given it 12 if I hadn’t been running the contest), this one doesn’t have the same power so I felt disappointed. 6.5/10.

Will do the second half when I get the chance!
