123 is cute. Anyways, Four Phases sweep.

Banbard and Far Away Times is probably the most difficult choice this round, two songs that are fantastic on their own without being neccesarily in my wishlist. A great ending composition that mixes the entire game, versus a motivational dance song with a really good melody. Hmm, well, crap. With Old L.A. this would have been an easier choice. I wash my hands again, may the best advance and do well.

Un Deux Trois still feels a bit too short, and Dancing Mad is just so well-made, so it gets my vote pretty easily.

This is definitely the most lopsided R5 match for me personally. One mediocre song against what is likely my favorite song left in the contest.

A hypothetical Dancing Mad-Banbard match would be pretty difficult for me to decide on.

Will vote on match 1 later (even though I'm like 99% sure I'm voting Dancing Mad because I don't like 123 all that much. """Cutesy""" vocals rarely do it for me and are more often than not super annoying).
Banbard is cool with a really cool melody. Unfortunately, I don't like the instrument playing the melody much which is weird because I usually like bagpipes.
