Can i just say, after my second listen there was no doubt in my mind the flip flap was the worst submission.

[PJ.]

I thought flip flap was cute. Not pyamu pyamu cute, but still cute.

[Parama]

i gave flip flap minor points

[PJ.]

That's about what I gave your mum. Eyyyyyy

Albania - Foxygen are one of those bands I've been meaning to listen more properly for years. Very nice way to start the contest.
Laos - It's a little too much... Impressive voice tough.
Somalia - Aw, it's one of _those_ songs... I must confess you got me with that first minute. It's not nearly the worst of its kind, but still not something I enjoy.
Fiji - Ok.
USA - Nope. This jazzy sound is just so unoriginal, and it's drowning her voice.
Kenya - I already gave points to these guys... I liked Gooey better, but something tells me I'll have this stuck in my head till the end of the contest. Pineapples.
Cote d'Ivoire - ...Hnnnnno.
Taiwan - This is nice.
Canada - There are just so many "nope!" sounds in this song. Nope.
Hong Kong - Meh.
Afghanistan - I don't mind this.
Ecuador - I like this more than I expected.
Iceland - This is definitely weird. Not feeling it though.
Bolivia - It sounds more like a performative art piece than a song. It's interesting.
Georgia - Meh. I kinda like the vocals, but there are these basic sounds standing in the way and I can't get into the song.
Azerbaijan - No.
Republic of Kugelmugel - Mmmmm... lyrical fajitas. Ok.
The Federated States of Micronesia - Ok.
Greece - Ok'er.
Chad - Nope.
Italy - Nope. It's almost funny how dated this sounds (and looks. dat video..)
Latvia - That's three nopes in a row now.
Nicaragua - This was nice.
Sweden - Ehhhhhh no.
Bhutan - Ok.

So you hate pretty much everything? lol

[kraska77]

i had the most "no"s i think

[SnowStorm]

So you hate pretty much everything? lol

Maybe there were more "nopes" than usual, but I don't hate everything. I don't even hate these nopes, just don't like the songs.

[Natirasha]

I'm glad my anime lesbian music is polarizing. It does lose a little without the visuals of the ED, but not much.

@Bomberman: Check your PMs please

[Errantparabola]

i woke up and "flip flap flip flap" was just totally stuck in my head, and now I'm wondering if I should have given nati more points or no points.

[Sesq]

Afghanistan - nice and chill. and good. this is good that we have a good song.
Ecuador - hey look its nick cave. jokes aside, i was expecting some generic indie trash but this actually pretty ok.
Iceland - owo whats this? a lot of good interesting noises forming together to make a great song.
Bolivia - this is thinking emoji the song. i guess its ok?
Georgia - well here's that boring generic "indie" song i was dreading. kinda washes off better after this chunk of songs being so abnormally good.

[I Have Bad Taste In Music]

Albania - was good but it dragged a lot. would have been better compressed into 3 minutes
Laos - this song was by red jumpsuit apparatus
Somalia - had hope for this one at the start. lost hope quickly and the song went on forever. i wish it would have stayed in virginia
Fiji - generic and anime but decent
Burkina Faso - had little hope for this one at the start but at least it didn't get worse until the end
USA - this song existed, i guess
Kenya - really disliked this one at the start but it either grew on me a lot or got better as it went along
Cote d'Ivoire - all of my points tbh
Taiwan - i kinda liked this. it really made me want to like it more but i didn't
Canada - did not like
Hong Kong - some of this was okay, but a lot of it was too loud for me
Afghanistan - very not my kind of thing
Ecuador - i alternated between liking this and really not liking it
Iceland - this song has no redeeming qualities
Bolivia - tl;df
Georgia - milkmilkmilkmilkmilkmilk
Azerbaijan - enter shorter songs
Republic of Kugelmugel - enter better songs
The Federated States of Micronesia - the picture made me expect i would hate this but it was actually quite good
Greece - was ok
Chad - ow
Italy - bland and a little boring
Latvia - was decent and less 80s than i expected
Nicaragua - it wasn't bad but there were not 9 minutes worth of song here
Sweden - a little catchy, a little annoying. more annoying than catchy
Bhutan - nty

Azerbaijan - lots of interesting sounds here, I like
Kugelmugel - kinda fun hip hop
Micronesia - eww stop. And the singer is bad.
Greece - this is just too early 2000s and I love it but it makes me sad. As for the song Thought I was gonna get some kinda weird pop punk thing but it's not good
