Well well well, I'm pleased to see that
Bulgaria has actually gone on to pick its best song from the final.
Check out bagpipes with Samo Shampioni from Elitsa & Stoyan. I give it a very deserving 9/10, for SO MANY REASONS.
Now THAT is class.
Also, a very interesting and surprising dark horse entry from
the Netherlands. Speculation is, it could go on to qualify the Netherlands in the final...for the first time in 20 years (I think).
I don't love it, but I appreciate its dramatic and avant-garde style. 7.5/10. Cheers, Dutch people.
I am still VERY confused about this piece of weirdness from
Romania. I had hoped the contest would make it to Bucharest this year, but...no such luck.
That gets a whopping -18392384/10, largely for disappointment. THANKS A LOT, Romanians.
