I gave Costa Rica points only because I could swear this one sound in it comes from Paper Mario TTYD.
In theory I should be penalizing for plagiarism maybe"Let us say that you are right and there are two worlds. How much, then, is this 'other world' worth to you? What do you have there that you do not have here? Money? Power? Something worth causing the prince so much pain for?'"
"Well, I..."
"What? Nothing? You would make the prince suffer over... nothing?"- PJ.

the game had several good aspects but the soundtrack wasn't one of them
I think the only salvageable BGM was the one in the X-Naut Fortress.Everything you say and do matters. People will respond in ways you may never see. May those responses be what you intend.- Equinox

Vi finally helped me with this, so here we go, many months later.In post 38, Song Contest wrote:Vijarada (Montenegro) and Equinox (Argentina) failed to vote. They take a 12-point penalty, and will have to dye their hair green for a month.
Also, it has been suggested to me that I submit votes, since I went through the trouble of listening to all of the entries for this contest.- schadd_

Bahamas – Another of the “this is fun enough but t doesn’t really stand out to me” types of songs. I don’t know who Grace Kelly is. (AVERAGE)
Iceland – There’s like a handful of people here who will be able to even tolerate this and that’s fine. Would you believe this is one of the most accessible songs on this album, too? It’s a really good album.
Libya – Hhmmm not wild about these particular vocals and the song as a whole feels a bit underdeveloped but it’s. Kinda neat. (AVERAGE)
Poland – There’s something about this kind of female-fronted punk-leaning rock that I just never can enjoy. I might just really dislike Joan Jett for no reason in particular. That’s the artist I always think of when I hear this kind of sound. (MEDIOCRE)
Greenland – I spent this entire song thinking it should be working for me more than it is, but that’s what relistens are for. It’s still the best of this set so far by a pretty decent margin, though. (DECENT)
Belarus – …and this is easily the best song of the contest so far, and it’s not even close. I feel like a better singer could make this work even better than it already does but, I mean, it already works very well as-is, and he does the climax justice anyways. (GOOD)
Hungary – Too long and repetitive to the point where I was sick of it before it was over. Not really that amusing on its own anyways. (MEDIOCRE)
USA – Oh, this is *flips through a thesaurus to find a synonym for “nice”* …nice. The outro sure does exist. I don’t have a ton to say about this, but I liked it. (DECENT)- pickemgenius

Alright alright alright everyone, I'm fully caffeinated and have my trusty piece packed and ready to go. I've been a productive person today and have my work done, so it's time to spark this and listen to some new jams. Here we go.
Gabon- KennyHoopla- How will i rest...- initial expectations subverted in the best way. I love raw vocals like this, this is a good song. Added.
Greenland- The Maine- Heaven, were already here- I liked this one quite a bit, good mix of energy and lyrics and solid musically. This got added to my list.
Fiji- Frank Carter- Crowbar- this had me toe tapping and nodding my head along. I enjoyed the build ups pay offs and silver pants. Added.
USA- Honey Harper- Someone elses dream- I was worried at first because a Faith Hill song with the same name came up for this one, I was very happily surprised to find that this has nothing to do with that and this man has the voice of a country angel.
Egypt- Kishi Bashi- Once Upon- this is the contest that is just turing my expectations upsidedown and im loving it. This was weird and funky and melodic, and spacey and the vocals were great. This reminds me a lot of Earth, Wind & Fire which my mom would put on loud when she was cleaning and sing along too.
Poland- Marina and the Diamonds- Bubblegum Bitch- Love me some Marina, the lyrical content vs what she sounds like is amazing, like in Teen Idol, Lonely Hearts Club and Buying Stars.
England- Pet Shop Boys- Its a sin- I knew the name but had to look up why, West End Girls, and as soon as I saw that I could hear it in the song. Very reminiscent of my younger days, I have a strong affinity for songs from the 80's and 90's as those were my formative years.
Cote d'Ivoire- Playboy Manbaby- Cadillac Car- "I told a lot of lies in this song," the best line of any song ever. I dug this.
Libya- Every Time I Die- Turtle all the way down- the cadence was interesting, and the lack of yelling incomprehensible lyrics was nice. Kinda reminded me of late 90s spoken word hardcore.
Belarus- Kevin Devine- Brothers Blood- the tinny guitar brought me in immediately but the vocals just werent there for me. There is a lot of potential but you need a stronger voice to carry something like that, Noah Hunt comes to mind for the voice type im thinking .
Bahamas- Mika- Grace kelly- weird is the best way. I don't think this would ever works its way into a normal rotation for me, but i remember this coming out and being interesting, and I havent heard about it again since now and I enjoyed it again. See you in another 10 years or so Mika!
Spain- Kelela- Take me apart- This is ok, she has a beautiful voice, but its just not my style so much.
Italy- Kenny Rogers- Gambler- classic song, not one that ive ever been very partial too. Respect though.
Sudan- Ondatropica- Remando- this was ok.
Iceland- Joliette- Vacio- I liked them better when they went by At The Drive-In.
Djibouti- Cattle Decapitation- Bring back the plague- the 2nd vocal where is sounds like a rejected demon from Army of Darkness took over ruined this.
Costa Rica- Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark- New stone age- interestingly dense beat, i enjoyed it, but maybe more as an instrumental. The vocals just distracted me from the music without adding much to it.
Canada- Hakushi Hasegawa- Only you- I'm not sure what was going on here exactly, but FF had a seizure watching whatever video this is and died. RIP
Australia- Bad//Dreems- I wanna self isolate with you- not a fan of topical songs like this.
Micronesia- Omnitica- Its pronounced Omnitica- ok.
Hungary- Mighty Sparrow- Ah Fraid Pussy Bite Me-Show"Getting lost in the details of nothing..."

There might be a better voice for this song, but that's not it, as far as I can tell. It feels too 'controlled'. For this song, if you don't sound like you're 'falling apart' at the end, by design or vocal limitation, then the climax sounds insincere.In post 62, Formerfish wrote:Belarus- Kevin Devine- Brothers Blood- the tinny guitar brought me in immediately but the vocals just werent there for me.

I don't think there are any songs I'll be adding to my playlist, although I was able to rate enough songs for points.- VashtaNeurotic

I realize that Jaden can be divisive but i dug the song and its been stuck in my head for a few weeks now, it made its way onto my playlist quickly.
I'm just counting down the contests until I can enter the other song thats been hitting me hard.
Next contest is going to be a good joke song or a legit banger.Show"Getting lost in the details of nothing..."
