Krajowe Eliminacje aka Pile o' Shit 2k16 01. Dorota Osińska - Universal (I'm a massive fan of anthemic, peace-power ballads. I love her voice and it lifts what would be a rather alright song into something else. It's my most played of these entries (to be fair, it's the only.) 02. Margaret - Cool Me Down (This is such a Swedish production, it's almost criminal. Using the tried and tested method works, of course. Only problem is that based on some Polish opinion, Margaret isn't a very competent performer when it comes to energy which this song needs in buckets. We'll see how it goes - singing well was never necessary for a good placing, hlo Kalomira.) 03. Natalia Szroeder - Lustra (As the only Polish song of the lot, I applaud her for sticking with her own language. The production sort of annoys me and I don't know why - it doesn't exactly set the senses alight. In a year of middle of the road, I don't think this is necessary.) 04. Edyta Górniak - Grateful (Edyta's song has warmth but I'm not sure, it's just there, really - being a big name with a relatively weak song.) 05. Taraka - In The Rain (It's bizarre - it offers originality that Kasia couldn't give deliver - I don't want this in Eurovision but it's something different.) 06. Ola Gintrowska - Missing (I quite like the instrumental for this but it stays stagnant throughout the time it has.) 07. Kasia Moś - Addiction (It's something different but different doesn't always work. I can't really get behind this song, it leaves me rather cold.) 08. Michał Szpak - Colour of Your Life (Is it just me or does this sound like a boyband track from the 90s? Nothing wrong with the 90s but this sort of song is so dated and it really shows with his brassy, Liza Minelli vocals. No thanks.) 09. NAPOLI - My Universe (No.)

I listened to all the MF songs (finally) and well I can't make a top 10 but....just a few songs I like.. Frans - If I Were Sorry (ok, this is the best I've heard in any finals in 2016 so far - I love it) - in my opinion, it's the only song in this MF that can get a good result Dolly Style - Rollercoaster....very pleasant and I like the melody Samir & Viktor - Bada Nakna...interesting in a weird way Lisa Ajax - My Heart Wants Me Dead.....it's catchy Oscar Zia - Human....a honest song, I like the lyrics Eclipse - Runaways....very good, different from the rest
Considering I don't like Sergey, I'm glad that I'm not crazy about his song, either. It's ok, nothing bad about it, just not something I would vote for.

From Romania I like nothing..can't even do a ranking In other news, I just saw the first esc 2016 song on our TV..and it was Sergey's..followed by a bunch of compliments (the lyricist being Greek might have helped..lol) and declared 'the absolute favourite'

Croatia - Nina Kraljic - Lighthouse My opinion: I love Nina's style and voice but I think that the song would work better in Croatian. Still, I think it's one of the best songs so far and I expect it to do well on the night...if they get the staging right. Needless to say it will be in my top 10.
