ranking esc2023 songs... part two
ahead of the second semi final tonight, here’s my personal qualifiers and non-qualifiers for another sixteen songs!
1. austria || it’s already iconic and for good reason. this year’s show belongs to edgar allan poe!!
2. san marino || i feel like it’s not my usual kind of thing, at least not when it comes to eurovision, but i like it. good music, nice vocals, and it’s hard not to sing along.
3. iceland || look it’s nothing new or inventive, but for what it is, it delivers and it delivers well, and her voice has a lot of power behind it.
4. denmark || didn’t think i’d be seeing the random ab6ix collab guy on eurovision, but here we are... it’s cute and catchy, and he’s got a likeable voice.
5. greece || i’m saying it again, it’s nothing new, but it’s from a teenager so i’ll allow it. he’s got a lot of talent.
6. lithuania || she’s a solid singer and i like the progression of the song.
7. cyprus || i like his voice and the song builds along well, so i’d be surprised if it didn’t do well in the semi at least.
8. slovenia || i like the music on this one and it’s one of those songs that sticks in my head but it’s welcome to.
9. estonia || strong vocals, and the music is likeable enough, but. kind of boring.
10. armenia || tbh this one bores me a bit too, but she’s got a strong voice and the music itself is solid.
11. romania || he’s got a good voice but this song just isn’t working for me.
12. albania || i do enjoy the music on this and the cultural touches, but it’s not really my kind of thing.
13. poland || it’s catchy but that’s kind of the only compliment i can give it.
14. georgia || look i’m trying to put aside the awkward phrasing of some of these lyrics, but even with that aside, it’s pretty generic for eurovision.
15. belgium || for an upbeat eurovision song about empowerment and self-belief... it’s pretty damn bland.
16. australia || i feel like it has potential at the beginning but then the chorus bores me every time.

I must sleep. Sleep is the mind-healer. Sleep is the big-life that brings total ability to fucking do anything. I will face my bed. I will permit the blankie to pass over me and snores to pass through me. And when sleep has gone past I will turn the outer eye to greet the new morning. When the sleep has gone there will be everything. Energy and will to live will remain.

This made me think of Machete being flattened from cuddling or just generally being a dog that looks like he was squished by a boulder like a cartoon
Also I am constantly in tears over Vasco and Machete
