UMK 2014: The Songs - Part 1

The UMK 2014 has started and on this post we are going know the first 6 acts in the competition, they all performed the demo version of their songs in front of the juries. Here they are:

MadCraft - Shining Bright

This is very nice track, the chorus and the oh oh ohs are very catchy, their energy on stage is great and the vocal performance could've been better but it was ok. I think this act is going to be great when they have to perform to an audience cause thats what they like to do and im sure they will do a great job on the live shows!

Clarissa feat. Josh - Top of The World

To be honest i wasnt a fan of this song when we got the 30secs cause i was expecting a cheap MF reject but now i really like it, i think this song is good, i prefer the verses over the chorus but i think the whole act is strong, they have a nice stage presence and they only need to work on their vocals when they are singing together cause they sound ok on their solo parts. The choreo was a bit weird but a kinda nice weird, cant wait to see what are they going to do in the next performance.

Lauri Mikkola - Going Down

This song is so GOOD! I love it! What a strong performance! There is nothing else to say, he is a great singer and i can see him doing very well in Eurovision. Well done Lauri!

Jasmin Michaela - Kertakäyttösydän

This is so fun, i dont know what is the song about but i love how it sounds, im not sure about her chances on the competition but i like this!

Hanna Sky - Hope

This one is good and i like it but im not a fan of it yet, i cant wait to listen to the final version. Hanna has a lovely stage presence and her vocals were really good!

MAKEA - Painovoima

WOW! I LOVE THIS SONG! I fell in love with it when i heard the 1st second of the song! I just cant stop listening to it! Beautiful melody, great vocal performance on stage and that pop urban music style is very interesting and it sounds amazing. So yeah, this entry is fantastic and their performance was mesmerizing! Good job MAKEA!

Ukraine 2014: And the winner is...Maria Yaremchuk

The Ukrainian national final was today and the winner was none of the "favorites" but a tick tock girl!. I have to say that i didnt have a big favorite on the selection but there were a couple of nice songs in the competition, at the end of the show the juries and the audience gave their top points to Maria Yaremchuk and she won, here is her song:

I dont love the song cause its a bad mess but i think the performance was kinda nice, she has a strong presence on stage and that was what make me like her a bit, still i really dont think this was one of the best acts on the selection so im not happy with the result but who knows whats going to happen next, maybe the song will get a huge revamp or maybe she is going to sing another song at Eurovision, who knows? only time will tell.

I wonder if we are getting a Ukrainian scandal for next year! I have to say that im ready for it! Bring us the ESCandal!

Good luck Ukraine!

Unser Song Für Dänemark: The Finalists

Thi year Germany had an amazing National Final, sadly it had a bad result but i dont think that will happen next year cause i really like the 7 acts that are going to compete to represent their country in Denmark! Here they are:

Das Gezeichnete Ich

Madeline Juno

MarieMarie

Oceana

Santiano

The Baseballs

Unheilig

There will be 1 more finalist later on the kinda "webjoker" competition! 

We already know this is going to be a fantastic national final just with the names of the artists but if they bring us great songs this will be an insane national final and i really cant wait for it! GO GERMANY!
