“Catchy, very fun, and a nice callback to the pop diva age”

Song 34. Disko- LPS This was one of the most adorable moments of the first semi-final, and absolutely deserved a higher placement than it got. While the issues with the song remain, the choreography was very cute and the performance was highly enjoyable to watch. I loved the co-ordinated choreography in the song’s introduction. This […]
“Just playing it a bit too safe to pop out.”
Song 35. The Show- Reddi This was one of the most fun performances in the semi final, and definitely elevated the song as much as it could have done. The vocals were absolutely on point from start to finish, with some nice opt-ups in the final chorus, and the band were able to keep the […]
Song 36. Lock Me In- Circus Mircus This was a good performance, but unfortunately the band had very little to work with, and the sense of fun that made the song wasn’t quite carried through. The live vocals and harmonies were strong, and I love the band’s individuality with their costumes, however the lack of […]
Review- “Impossible to tell what’s going on but I can’t help but want to dance” Song 36. ‘Lock Me In’- Circus Mircus I had no idea how to describe this song when I first heard it, let alone review it, but I adore its quirkiness and originality, even if its repetitiveness and lack of depth […]

The use of graphics to fill the stage worked effectively, and I liked the model runway on the floor. The colour scheme contrasted well: with the darkness at the start contrasted by the light costume, and then […]
Song #39- Intention- The Intelligent Music Project This song was always going to face an uphill battle to qualify, given how weak the chorus is and how tame the song feels. Unfortunately, while the band threw everything they had at the live performance, it just wasn’t enough to elevate such a generic, forgetful song. Nonetheless, […]
Song # 40- I Am What I Am- Emma Muscat This song’s biggest problem is how predictable and bland it is, and how empty the message feels, and unfortunately, the staging compounded every one of these issues. On the bright side, Emma, for the most part, sang absolutely beautifully, with some gorgeous riffs and generally […]

A CHANGE OF PLAN
Because the majority of the reviews were unfortunately uploaded pre-show (I’m currently in the middle of my final exams at university and sadly had to prioritise revision over Eu-revision), I’ve decided to gradually upload my reviews over the summer with two reviews for each entry: a pre-show review focusing solely on the song quality, and […]
