| Thompson 06/19/18 3:48:15 AM #2: | 10 [13/18] Madalena Iglsias Ele e ela [Portugal]  A fun and uplifting song that far susrpasses Portugal's dreary wailer of the year prior. 3/5 (1 pt) 9 [10th/18] Michle Torr Ce soir je t'attendais [Luxemburg]  Has an engaging beat and melody. Pretty good singing, too. Risks of becoming repetitive, but the song ends before it becomes too apparent. The intro by the wind instruments (trumpets?) and then their continued presence in the background adds a faint early 70's sound. Might just be me, though. 3/5 (2 pts) 8 [4th/18] Tonia Un peu de poivre, un peu de sel [Belgium] Although I don't think this is a that special as memorability goes, it is remarkable and likable for bubbling with childlike positivity without being syrupy and condescending. 3/5 (3 pts) 7 [7th/18] Berta Ambro Brez besed [Yugoslavia]  Yugoslavia steps away from its established cornerstone of somber crooners with this empowering and multifaceted serenade. The segue from the soft verses to the powerful refrains and back is sharp but admirably proficient. 4/5 (4 pts) 6 [2nd/18] Lill Lindfors & Svante Thuresson Nygammal vals [Sweden]  While Lill and Svante share appreciable and charming on-stage rapport, this is merely a nice but ordinary jazzy duettfor those who don't understand Swedish. For those that do will be entrtained by a folk tale told in contemporary (and hilarious) slang. 4/5 (5 pts) 5 [9th/18] Kenneth McKellar A Man Without Love [United Kingom]  Typically, I am not a fan of old-fashoned operatic-like songs, but A Man Without Love radiates with such a great sense of dramatic magnificence and emotion, that I can't help but become speechless in fascination. 4/5 (6 pts) 4 [17th/18] Domenico Modugno Dio, come ti amo [Italy]  Domenico truly looks and sounds like he's on the verge of breaking into tears as he valiantly carries on singingand that's not a hyperbole. A subtle yet discernible tremble is in his voice, and his behavior barely hides his grief. 4/5 (7 pts) 3 [4th/18] Dickie Rock Come Back to Stay [Ireland]  Lyrics too emotional for the sensitive to sing in karaoke and a strong melody and performance makes up for a somewhat humdrum arrangement and a so-so ending. 4/5 (8 pts) 2 [10th/18] Ann Christine Playboy [Finland]  Incredibly whistelable melody, and a surprisingly contemporary and original pop song (for Finnish standards) with clever and funny lyrics that, unfortunately for most listeners, are in Finnish. But the gist is that Ann-Christine is rebuking the approaches of a playboy. "You're a playboy, a slick playboy, a confident playboy, but into your net I won't fall", "many wealthy ladies, many rich princes, you decieve gladly, 007 is allegedly attributed to your name, but the seven I'll disregard." 4/5 (10 pts) 1 [7th/18] Raphael Yo soy aqul [Spain]  This is a song that would not be remembered positivelyif it were not for Raphael singing it. His vocals are almost unbelievably phenomenal, and he comes extremely close to attaining that perfect and coveted medium where a voice is immensely powerful without being shouty. 4/5 (12 pts) --- Sigs are rather pointless, except if it's to showcase animation and images. ...
