My Top 12

[Jozef]

Disappointing selection

I can't say I would really like some of the songs.

I think I like Arion Brink's "Hypnotised" the most. Yeah, it's a cheap pop song but the melody is so catchy that I don't care in this case. I'm a bit afraid of his live performance, I don't believe he will hit all those crazy notes. (Anesović ... once again my favorite is one of your last places )

idk, I just feel like everything about the song is... too fast. 
I also think that he added way too many tropical sounds in it, it kinda sounds like a mess.

and btw, what other selection is my last place your favourite, besides Iceland?

[fabbi]

Tbh. I don't dislike many songs judging from short snippets.

"Paradise" was my n.1 before the show but then I realised that "Blackbird" is much better

Also, Jade Vella is very high in my top ^^

[Vaios]

I just listened to the SF1 songs and omg "Nótt" definitely STANDS OUT
Hopefully he will be one of the 3 finalists tonight
