I wouldn't unironically like this because it's
very
insipid and manufactured... but it's so much so that it kind of swings back to better than mediocre IMO. :V

Can understand the turn-off though. It certainly doesn't have the bang-inspiringly triumphant Soviet grandeur that the Toad song does.
That is the most scene thing I have ever seen in my life.
If they put half the effort into their music as they did into their motif then maybe it wouldn't suck.

Chad- Deadly Syndrome- ive loved this song ever since i saw the worlds best dad for the first time. It just has such a haunting rawness to it that appeals to me. I like passion in my music and something i can feel. This hits me in all the right ways and I get why it might not be appealing to some, but the reasons ive seen people say they arent fans are the reasons i am.

USA- Ice Nine Kills- Ive heard this one recently actually and didnt hate it, then i started watching some of the other videos and liked the idea behind different horror movies as inspiration. I need to listen to more to see if they are more than a shtick but i can see merit in this and can see myself listening to it.

Djibouti- Jason Richardson & Luke Holland- this is pretty sick. i loved the hill billy twist.

Ecuador- Sub Urban- yup, looking more into this guy.

Hungary- Ginuwine- I mean, obviously yes, but come on, is this even fair?

Greenland- Beta State- this was good. catchy in a good way

Somalia- Maylene and the Sons of Disaster- this satisfied my need for heavyness.

Canada- Brooke & Dunn- how can anyone not like this song? Its a country classic that transcends country into mainstream.

Liechtenstein- Sick Puppies- This is a good choice for SP, they have some really good songs and some really forgettable ones. I feel like this is one of their better ones.

Poland- Two Gallants- am i a dick for not likign this because i expected something harder from the picture?

Croatia- Damjan Mravunac- was this from a video game? Its ok, but not something that blows my skirt up.
Sealand- Sirenia- was this from a video game? Its ok, but not something that blows my skirt up.

Comoros- Tricot- i liked this except for the whisper backing. that was weird.

Costa Rica- Of Montreal- OM didnt survive the great itunes purge. I always feel like i should like them more, but all their songs end up sounding the same after a while.

Egypt- Rina Sawayama- I was into this for the first 30 seconds, then lost interest and forgot it was playing until it was over.

Australia- Approachable Members of Your Local Community- background music is a movie featuring a trendy coffee shop.

Spain- Ambitious Lovers- very early 90's, ive never heard of these guys before, I know why after listening.

Turkey- Eric Whitacre- very nice, just not my thing.

Iceland- An Isolated Mind- Do you need a hug?

San Marino- Itchyworms- no thank you.

Russia- Toad- beautiful.

Iran- Saweetie- Nope.

I feel like im normally among the higher on the the sheeple side.

That means that I rank the songs closer to where they end up right?

Yeah, that's right. High sheep = your vote closely aligned with the final result (after reverting penalties).
which means that the result is more your fault than others'
Youre welcome/sorry.

You pick.
