Stitches by Shawn Mendes
Noooice!

Are You Gonna Be My Girl by Jet
Oh hi, I know you.

Nallane 3 by Flori Mumajesi
Another new song for me that I like!

The Call of the Mountains by Eluveitie
Not my thing but not bad at all.

You Don't Just Want To Break Me by Hawksley Workman
This almost put me to sleeeeeep, I don't really know whyyyyy, I tried listening twiiiiiice, but couldn't keep open my eyyyyyes. (I went back again after the finishing the playlist and realized I didn't make it to the part where the pace picks up the first 2 times. I kind of liked the build of the song after listening to the whole 8 minutes)

Slow Dancing In The Dark by Joji
So hard to listen to another super slow song after the last one but this is decent.

Lisztomania by Phoenix
This song could have been about absolutely anything and I would have liked it just because it was a faster song. Nothing against the last two songs, I just felt like they could have been part of a sound machine to help people sleep. To each their own.

He Said She Said by CHVRCHES
Not bad, not bad

Spaceship by Miss Li
I like her voice

The Sign by Ace of Base
This is the "touch myself" song of group 2. Great song that everyone probably knows.

Habits (Stay High) by Tove Lo
How have I never heard this? I love it.

Stitches - worst singer in the universe, this song is terrible and skipping right away

Are You Gonna Be My Girl - This is fine... very popular song, don't want to hear it right now rly. This is in the Seven Nation Army / Teenage Dirtbag category for me.

Nallane 3 - I really like this! I'd play this in my car.

The Call of the Mountains - Great song! Liking it! Bit of a Eurovision vibe but that's fine.

You Just Don't Want to Break Me - This is quite nice! Another song that will be too slow (partially) for the crowd perhaps but I like it. It's just very interesting musically. 8 minutes is long.

Slow Dancing - Interesting song! I thought the beginning was nicer than the second part, but this will probs get my vote.

Lisztomania - So this is the winner of the comp right? I've heard this before, my former colleague used to be a fan of this band. "Love for granted" is in my liked songs. This is a pretty good song too. Phoenix vs. Roxette for F2?

He Said She Said - At first I wasn't sure, but then it became really good. Loving this.

Spaceship - Not into the vocals. It's a really good song though.

The Sign - I'm just glad this is the only song in this genre.

Habits (Stay High) - Very popular song; not really my cup of tea, not bad either.

Stitches by Shawn Mendes [Canada]



-Things I know about Shawn Mendes: 1. Josh wants to have his babies, 2. He sings pop, 3. He is dating Camila Cabela, 4. His songs annoy the fuck out of me.




Are You Gonna Be My Girl by Jet [Australia]




-Popular song. Hi Vern



Nallane 3 by Flori Mumajesi [Albania]





-3 songs in and 3 songs better then any song in the first play list. I would really like this song if it was in English.




The Call of the Mountains by Eluveitie [Switzerland]




-I actually dig this song. Can see me enjoying this one a lot more as the competition goes on.



You Don't Just Want To Break Me by Hawksley Workman [Canada]




-Sees the artist, blows kiss to Christian. I don't even have to listen to this song to know I'm going to love it.




Slow Dancing In The Dark by Joji [Japan]




-too slow for me.



Lisztomania by Phoenix [France]




-YESSSS! I love this song. I picked this song but someone already did.



He Said She Said by CHVRCHES [Scotland]




-Not my thing.



Spaceship by Miss Li [Sweden]




-Started off and I didn't like it.....but then it started to get catchy and it wasn't too bad. Not sure if I'll vote for it but not a bad pick. Would easily have won group 1.



The Sign by Ace of Base [Sweden]




-I've heard this song a million times. Pass

For shame. FOR SHAME!

Stitches by Shawn Mendes [Canada]
--Overplayed Top-40? No thanks.

Are You Gonna Be My Girl by Jet [Australia]
--Overplayed? Yes. Decent rock song? Also yes.

Nallane 3 by Flori Mumajesi [Albania]
--Coming out of the gate with reckless abandon. I love it. Even though I have no idea what they are saying, I would add this song to a personal playlist, if I had one with this type of music on it. Maybe I need to make a "songs that should be on a Fast and Furious soundtrack" playlist.

The Call of the Mountains by Eluveitie [Switzerland]
--This would have been my 2nd favorite song on the first list. After the first 3, this might not make my top-6 on this list.

You Don't Just Want To Break Me by Hawksley Workman [Canada]
--8 minutes? I made it to about 3. I guess I'm just not a Hawksley fan.

Slow Dancing In The Dark by Joji [Japan]
--This song is slow dancing its way right out of my top-6.

Lisztomania by Phoenix [France]
--Let's see what all the nominations were about... Meh, it's ok. Not my favorite, but not terrible. I could easily see this winning the whole thing.

He Said She Said by CHVRCHES [Scotland]
--This feels like a Vern song. I asked my pre-teen daughter what she thought of it and she loved it. Not sure that's a good thing...lol

Spaceship by Miss Li [Sweden]
--And so starts the Swedish trifecta. Meh, blast this one out into space and leave it there.

The Sign by Ace of Base [Sweden]
--Classic. The 90s kid in me loves some Ace of Base. It's way too popular to advance in this competition, but damn it, it gets a vote (and weird looks from my wife as I sing it out loud) from me.

Habits (Stay High) by Tove Lo [Sweden]
--I know this song? How do I know this song? I thought I had my 6 votes set then this came on.
