Eurovision Haikus IV

I’ve been slacking in my Eurovision fanboy-ing! It’s almost the end of April ahhh!! Here are the last of my Eurovision Haikus. I’m hoping I didn’t forget any countries.

 

Albania

She has a nice voice

Better in Albanian?

Don’t know what to say

 

Poland

What is going on?

Definite Novelty song

Churn that butter, girls

 

Portugal

I want to like this

But she is just so awkward

Backup dancers. Please.

 

Sweden

Sweden. Always good.

Should have been Ace Wilder, though.

You know you agree.

 

******

And that’s it! What do you think? Who are your favorites this year? Least favorites? I’ll have to think on this and write up my own Top 5.

I’m hoping I didn’t forget any countries! If I did, please let me know!

Eurovision Haikus III

It’s getting closer to May! I can’t wait! Here’s another round of my Eurovision Haikus.

Austria

A bearded lady
Preaching tolerance and love?
Yasss. Werk mama.

Azerbaijan

A pretty ballad
Azerbaijan delivers
Almost every year

Belgium

Beautiful vocals
Your mom dances very well
Oh wait…who is that?

Finland

Poppy rock anthem
Cool vocals, my question is,
Can he do it live?

Germany
Weird carnival vibe
Already through to Final
Lucky Germany

Malta

I feel for Malta
Every year they send good acts
But never go far

The Netherlands

A pretty song but…
Dutch Lady Antebellum?
More like Fleetwood Mac

Norway

This sounds like something
I can’t quite place what song, though
This will bother me

Russia

Oh wow, this is bad
Flashing lights can’t cover up
Terrible vocals

Slovenia

Oh, gothic flautist
I mean…it isn’t dreadful
It’s not my fav, though.

Ukraine

Not digging this song
How many points to Russia?
Should I not ask that?

Eurovision Haikus II

Hi! I’m back with my second round of Eurovision Haikus! Here are another ten and my thoughts on them in 5-7-5 format. Here’s the first batch in case you missed it.

Armenia

Wow, Armenia
Great voice and great emotion
But why the wubwubs?

Belarus

I’m not digging this
A wannabe Robin Thicke
Lost my appetite

Estonia

Good Europop song
Has a nice dance routine but
Kind of Déjà Vu?

France

Um, France? What the hell?
Blatant copy of Stromae
So bad. Oh my god.

Georgia

Georgia, what is this?
A bizzare hippie commune.
Did they say ‘Space Jam’?

Greece

Upbeat and Catchy
Feel like I’m in a Greek club
Repetitive, though.

Italy

I really love this
Italian Power Ballad
Next year…in Venice?

Montenegro

Don’t understand but,
The emotion translates well
Very pretty song

San Marino

She has a good voice
Sounds like a James Bond theme song
or a disco jam.

Spain

What a pretty voice
Already in the final
But still could go far

****

Honestly, there are some great ones but I’m not too impressed with a lot of the songs this year. I don’t know what it is, but it seems like so many of them are just too odd. And not in the good, quirky way that makes me love so many Eurovision acts.

What do you think? Agree/Disagree? Have you already chosen your favorites? Do you have a Top Ten already? Have I missed any that have been released so far? Let me know!

Eurovision Haikus: First Impressions

 

So now that Melodifestivalen is over (I accidentally spoiled the results for myself =\ oops)  I’ve started looking at other countries’ acts! I guess it’s still early, but I’ve been a bit underwhelmed by the entries so far.

Instead of writing a review of every countries’ song (because really, would anyone actually read it?), I’ve decided to write my thoughts on the entries so far in haiku form. If you didn’t know, haiku is a Japanese poetry style that follows a 5-7-5 syllabic pattern.

Videos are linked for your viewing pleasure. Here we go:

 

Hungary

Nice Song and Vocals

Too deep for Eurovision

Yo. Trigger Warning

 

Ireland

Some cool Celtic sounds

not enough to wake me up

from the song itself

 

Israel

Impressive vocals

Half English and Half Hebrew

Gurl, you’re fierce as hell

 

Lithuania

What is going on?

There might be a message here

I am so confused

 

Macedonia

Hot Mess. Hot Mess. Hot.

Mess Hot Mess Hot Mess Hot Mess

Hot Mess. Hot Mess. Damn.

 

Romania

Cool magic vid screen

EDM beats and screaming

Assault on eardrums

 

Switzerland

What a handsome group

I understand the whistling

But that’s about it

 

United Kingdom

Seems a bit boring

But anthemic and well-sung

Don’t know how I feel
