The Netherlands send
Joan Franka with the song "
You And Me" written by
Joan Franka and Jessica Hogeboom.
What ruins the song for me is Joan's voice. I don't like her voice. And because of that I don't listen to the song even though it has a nice melody. What's wrong with the Netherlands lately? I hope next year they will be wise enough to send
Miss Brandi Russell! She sent 4 great songs and they rejected all of them. Shame...

running order #3.
1pt from me and good luck to the Netherlands!
Norway sends
Tooji with the song "
Stay" written by
Tooji, Peter Boström and Figge Boström.
I don't like this. I don't like the music of "Stay". And I guess I'm one of the few that don't like it. Plus, it reminds me a bit of
Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" (just a part). And I have a feeling that this will end up like "Haba Haba" but I hope it won't...

Portugal sends
Filipa Sousa with the song "
Vida Minha" written by Andrej Babić and Carlos Coelho.
I kinda like the chorus but the song as a whole is indifferent. But I'm glad that Portugal once again sends an entry in portugese! I like Filipa's voice and she can sing live so that's a good thing but I don't see this going well for them this year either...
