Isabella (12pts)

Daria’s “Paranoia” has a really infectious beat throughout that honestly makes me want to dance along each time I listen to it! I’m curious to see how this will be staged as the song is quite interactive, in the sense that a crowd could easily join in with Daria during the chorus. Whilst the song itself could do more to show off Daria’s great vocals and has a repetitive beat, this is in a good way, as the chorus is a bit of an earworm and pretty memorable.

Lisa (10pts)

Easily one of the standouts of the Polish selection! This is everything I enjoy about Eastern European music. The pulsing, almost Russian sounding, EDM beats and catchy repetitiveness of both the melody and the lyrics. I just know this is going to be the disaster bop we talk about all year. Mainly because of the heavy vocal effects, which will make a live performance difficult. But ‘Paranoia’ has a story that can be turned into fun, Lady Gaga style staging that could give it the edge over the others on the night.
