VNV Nation did a remix of it that I think is more popular than the original for some reason.

Netherlands - It's just ok, there's nothing interesting or original about this song.
USA - Idk, it isn't unlistenable, but there's just something off putting about this.
Hungary - This sounds incredibly dated. I don't like her voice. I'm hoping the lyrics aren't as bad as I expect them to be.
Slovenia - No.
Ecuador - Ehhhhhh... Forgettable pop.
Lebanon - :/
Latvia - What's with you guys and cringe-goth-rock?
Macau - I guess this will be taking all my points.
Venezuela - Sound quality is painful, had to look it up on spotify. Ok.
Seychelles - This is nice!
Central African Republic - ok.
Scotland - It's nice enough.
Greece - bleep bloop it's the music of future past.
I did not like this contest. It lacked in both quantity and quality. Too many gimmicky songs, too many old songs, not enough fresh music. But at least I have a relatively defined top 5, which sometimes doesn't happen with 25 songs. The hardest part will be figuring which songs I dislike the least to give the remaining points.- Shadoweh

That's probably where I've heard it. Despite being a huge VNV fan though I like the original better.In post 50, notachipmunk wrote:

Netherlands (BLOF): wasn't too interesting, but i like repetitive sounding stuff! the music video was cool too. 12/15
USA (Bilmuri): i thought it would be like edm but it gives me mcr vibes? tbh dancing hulk was unsettling.. in general a pretty generic rock song, maybe i would listen to it as an angsty teen. 10/15
Hungary (Ceca): the first 10 seconds sounded like smth i would hear in like the taqueria near my house but that changed.. tbh not really my cup of tea. 5/15
Slovenia (The Murder of my Sweet): this is some mtd shit, also not my thing. 6/15
Ecuador (Alison Wonderland): pretty cool! i liked the music video especially like the choir kids on a car in space 13/15
Lebanon (Mesh): this slaps 14/15
Latvia (Lacrimas Profundere): sounded like slovenia but more boring tbh.. 4/15
Burkina Faso (The Hanged Man): repetitive but not in a good way, the music video was kind of cool tho 7/15
Venezuela (Finch): sugar we're going down by fall out boy knockoff... guilty pleasure tbh 11/15
Seychelles (Wolf Parade): its groovy but tbh im not grooving with it 7/15
CAR (Caravan): Its spooky but u know what else is spooky? the album cover got closer and closer 6/15
Scotland (Josh Garrels): a cool music video and a not bad song! 12/15
Greece (Apoptygma Berzek): not into it 5/15must i have a gender.. is it not enough for me to simply b kinda hot sometimes

Just gonna post the whole reviews of my top 10 this time:
Macau - Daniel Caesar - Japanese Denim: Cool instrumentals, especially that intro. Good singer. Like the chorus. It's not all that super interesting, just a well-done example of a particular type of sing. Not sure which is better between this and the previous one, but I'm leaning toward the previous one. GOOD. I really like this dude's voice. And yeah, that chorus. It's a good'n. Maybe this gets my 12? Guess I'll see how I feel after relistening to CAR. GOOD.
Central African Republic - Caravan - C'thlu Thlu: OK, I'm diggin this. IDK why they misspelled the title, but w/e, they're not the first band to do something like that. The tempo changes are cool, as are the atmospheric background noises and the prominent bass. One of my favorites so far. Not clearly ahead of Macau and Burkina Faso though. The ending was pretty strong, so this is probably the favorite for my 12 atm. GOOD. You know, I do like this one quite a bit. But after relistens, it just doesn't appeal to me as much as Macau. GOOD.
Burkina Faso - The Hanged Man - The Island: Kewl stuff. Instrumentals remind me of Minus the Bear a little bit. Best song in the contest so far. GOOD. This is good, but it's on the lower end of good. GOOD.
Scotland - Josh Garrels - Born Again: Not bad. DECENT. I think maybe I wasn't paying that much attention last time actually because this is better than every other song in the decents. DECENT.
USA - Bilmuri - Dank: OH NO MORE SHITTY 3D AVATARS DANCING. Ok, this is kinda weird. It's like, part generic-ass indie pop, part screamo, part EDM. Huh. I kinda like it? I honestly don't know which one I would give higher points to between this and the first one. DECENT. This is about on the same level as Netherlands but personally appeals to me more so I'm gonna put it ahead of that one. DECENT.
Netherlands - BLØF - Zoutelande: Hm, well, it's kinda catchy and nice to listen to. It's a little plain though. I like the harmonization, and damn if that isn't a great recording. Bridge is very pretty. DECENT. Yeah, that chorus. It's aight, man. DECENT.
Greece - Apoptygma Berzerk - Kathy's Song: Aw man, I liked this until the vocals started. The beat is kinda nice, if not very creative. It sounds very crisp. And I like those chopped up vocal samples too. I don't know why, I just really like weird rhythmic vocal samples. Yeah, god, I just wish the singer was different. I could maybe give this points. The outro's pretty cool. DECENT.
Seychelles - Wolf Parade - Ghost Pressure: Competent but not particularly compelling or creative indie. I think this one's below Netherlands and USA. DECENT. Just a hair better than Ecuador and Lebanon. DECENT.
Ecuador - Alison Wonderland - Church: It's all right, I like how the song uses silence and harmonization, but I'm not gonna sit here and pretend this is groundbreaking shit either. DECENT. The rote structure of this song is annoying me more this time around. DECENT.
Lebanon - Mesh - Adjust Your Set (Club Mix): Industrial punk, not my cup of tea. It's not horrible, I could give it low points. Hell, I might have to. DECENT. Yeah, this will be low. Lower than Ecuador. DECENT."Half of the game is figuring out who the scum is. The other half is convincing everyone else that you're right." -- PlaysWithSquirrels, in Newbie 437- Plotinus
