Burkina Faso - if your goal was to make me extremely uncomfortable for 3 minutes then good work, you succeeded. the visuals were creepy, the song was creepy, and the constant flashing (this should have seizure warnings) was really disorienting. I liked none of it.

Croatia - cute video, loved the song, and the lyrics have a great message. fun and relatable. liked this a lot.

Sealand - a little too rock and a little too repetitive. not bad, just not my thing.

Hungary - folk ballads get a decent rating from me. they have a lot of story and a lot of emotion. this one delivered.

Italy - great choice. very artistic and really full of emotion. the contrast between the calm center and the emotional lash out is really well captivated.

Greece - i really tike the techno beats and whatnot. i actually think i have heard this before, but never really listened to it. clever enough and a good chill song.

USA - there's a little too much angst in this song.
oh god it just got to the screaming part. i'm out.

Portugal - this is great. i am a big fan of this style, the loud strong, but not rock vocals are awesome and the harmonizing part is fun.

Liechtenstein - sounds like they're singing over a variety of nintendo noises. it's fun a light but a bit confused. not bad though.

Ecuador - this feels like it would fit on big shiny tunes and that's aight. it's still a little rocky for me but it should get some points. i kinda like it.

Djibouti - i love this song and this is a great version of it. gets stuck in my head all the time. plus, the video is a lot of fun.

Lebanon - i was really skeptical when i say an almost 9 minute long song, subbed. but i am so glad i gave it a chance. the story is great and i found myself bobbing along with the song from start to finish.

Slovenia - this was a very energetic submission. i am definitely in a mood where i can appreciate it. nicely arranged and good vocals. i like the spacey theme too.

North Korea - oh man, miles davis? classic. does that say it's with coltrane? daaaaamn.
great jazzy piece from some of the masters.

Mali - the british invasion throwback feel was awesome. i really like how they captured it. and the guinness pour at ~53 seconds in was perfect. well done to that barkeep.

Nauru - the rap didn't really felt it fit with the music. i just couldn't get into it because of this.

Central African Republic - bowie is always an amazing choice. he is fun but his songs are a little long sometimes. getting good marks but i get bored a bit as this goes on. I actually stopped a couple minutes early. i just couldn't anymore. sorry bowie.

Macedonia - this is a bit more my speed. good railroad song. and i love the harmonica.

Bhutan - uggh this just sounds like noise at the start. it's too busy. i'm sure it can be appreciated my some, but not me.

Macau - i like the pace, sound, and video for this song. good stuff.

voting in a bit. my thoughts are down though.
