In the last reviews of this week a more accurate look at Highway, Zoe & Gabriela Gunčiková.

Over the last two days you could already read reviews about the songs from Azerbaijan, Bosnia & Herzegovina and Cyprus and also about Estonia, Iceland and Malta.

Montenegro: Highway- The Real Thing

Dave Baker: After two very deserving years Montenegro with an incomparable song either messy rock. The Real Thing does very reminiscent of the songs you heard come over earlier if you played FIFA ‘ 04 . And in particular of that one song which gives you on the wrong button pressed while you’re on the verge of a gold exchange. Such a number. No, the Montenegrin entry this year is not best and will in the first semi final – along with San Marino – compete for the Red Lantern.

Stijn De Guzman: Prune hard guitars, a loud voice and a meaningless text … A man could almost start to get homesick for Nickelback . No, here I am not wild about, next please. The ideal time to a new load of chips and nuts to pick up in the night shop around the corner.

Fabian Faber: This is a bit what the intro. I was curious about what would follow. The curiosity was again pushed up during the stanza. A nice build by pumping beats, but how quickly this number quickly pulled me along, let the song me fall into the choruses. It is a Maverick and misfits scoring some points, teaches us the history of the Eurovision circus.

Each Venner: Also in Montenegro they dubstep-trick discovered. Unfortunately, in their case. No idea where the Montenegrin tv execs the guys from Highway have picked up. I treasure in the local youth House, wrapped in weed clouds. This is the time to go to the toilet to go – or even good to laugh. Though my tar heart yet also feel sorry for the guys. Their free trip to Stockholm is therefore awarded them.

Austria: Zoë- Loin d’ici

Dave Baker: Since her third place in the preliminary round of last year I regularly to the debut album of this Zoë Straub listened with the idea that they with ease in the footsteps of French singers as Jennifer Indila and can enter into force. And I still thought so when I heard that they wanted another attempt with Loin d’ici car to participate in the Eurovision song contest. However, I was terrified of the action during the Austrian final: the suikerspinnen decor, the added Siegelbeat and the anxious glances instead of Alizee-like. I hope here is going to be needed. If not, then the semifinal end station.

Stijn De Guzman: A Alizéenummer that is sung by Coeur de Pirate, so can I best describe Loin d’ici . Zoë looks like a frail Princess and she sings about a country far far away. A touch of Disney in the Eurovision song contest should be able to find me, but I doubt they in Stockholm will find her Prince on the white horse. Mirror, mirror on the wall. Who gives there points to this country? Fabian Faber: Nice tune, I am happy, but it is no more or no less than a pleasant chicken-feed. Is cheerful be enough for a victory in the Eurovision Song Contest? I believe they this year but half of their arrows have fired. Or they keep some arrows behind to finally, as Germany with Cascada or Netherlands with the top ones, to come up with a new remix for the song contest. Only must they, in contrast to Germany and Netherlands at that time, with a stronger version.

Each Venner: Also these three minutes of my life I get never returned. For a completely incomprehensible reason Austria this year sends a French song. Singer Zoë looks like a Disney Princess, unpretentious said. Al also illustrates a K3-vibe: Loin d’ici does it fixed well when very young people. Let us hope that Austria next year his roots, and a handsome Mountaineer in lederhosen . Then this kemel completely forgiven.

Czech Republic: Gabriela Gunčiková- I Stand

Dave Baker: This is undoubtedly the best Czech entry that the Eurovision Song Contest has so far delivered. Or punch to the final is another. I Stand stands or falls with the implementation that Gabriela Gunčíková in Stockholm. That this is a spherical popballade , but a real luminary is not. In the same genre I listen to the earlier Croatian Nina Kraljić anyway.

Stijn De Guzman: Both the song and the video clip start promising but once Gabriela the chorus bet, change the number in the kind of garish ballad that Christina Aguilera had been struggling to score another hit with it. On Czech pathos will already this year. And what have we learned today? Sometimes less is more. Fabian Faber: The intro has a lot in it and shall certainly does not disappoint. It is a beautiful song. I look especially from how this number will end up on the big stage. How to get Europe to see this number? This is a song where I didn’t get a speaking directly act in mind. No top favourite for first place, though this may end up in the first half. Can …

Each Venner: Save the best for last: Czech Republic presents ‘ I Stand ‘, a ballad that blows away all competition. The singer is – just like our very own Laura – from the talentenjachten circuit, but in order to keep up with the Belgian singer Gabriela yet get some sandwiches. What. A. Voice. Also an excellent soundtrack to melancholic to peer out the window, glass of wine in hand, tear biggelend on your cheek. I stand here, just because of you. Santé.
