But then those who sent them could be burned, right?

If you set your mind to it, maybe. But after 20 years of acquaintance, I think few here will vote based on favoritism or animosity...

Well, after that, I couldn't resist and also started watching. It didn't affect the ratings.

Sou -Aragai Sourou- — ah, I first thought it was Mongols playing dombras. Generally pleasant, but I don't like the melody itself. 5/10

mp3 — from the very first notes, it captures you with its atmosphere. It's like you're lying in a tavern on the second floor trying to fall asleep while guests are having fun downstairs. Overall, a very unusual composition; I've never heard a khomus and bagpipes together at the same time. And I also like choral music. Worthy, 7/10

Twenty Years — I'm generally not a fan of this kind of music. And from the first seconds, I thought, "Every genre has worthy representatives, but this seems like an 'ordinary' throwaway song, far from Sting." But I didn't turn it off, didn't skip, and I was suddenly very captivated by the mood, the timbre of the vocalist's voice, his accent... and by the end of the song, I had a completely opposite impression than at the beginning. I even listened to it a second time. Such a wonderful transformation, and that's a rating of 9/10
p.s. I Googled it and found out it's Placebo; I even glanced at the music video, and it threw me back somewhere to the early 2000s, when I used to listen to stuff like this on the radio. Good thing this is a song contest, not a video contest, because the video is cringey.
It reminded me of another song from those same years, "Zeromancer - Doctor Online," we listened to it on the radio and it worked great, then I happened to see the video, and it was complete nonsense...

Red Sun Rising - Deathwish — well, it seems powerful, assertive... but the melody is completely generic, doesn't grab me. It's like patches from different songs. 5/10

Judas Priest - Gates of Hell — as it happens, I occasionally save Kosha's tracks from the playlist (for example, I've re-listened to Iron Maiden - Montsegur very often). Probably this track could also hit the spot depending on the mood. Overall good, 7/10

Frank Sinatra - My Way — the lyrics, the mood, the performance. 8/10

À Paris - Francis Lemarque — good mood. Of course, retro music in terms of sound is inferior to all sorts of modern embellishments, but that's no reason to lower the rating. 7/10

Pavel Plamenev - Dazzlingly Young World (featuring Alexander Khananin and Ira Demidova) — on one hand, I really like the track "Kradushchaya Sny" ("Dream Thief"). There's emotion, drama. On the other hand, this is also a good track, just a kind song. I'll give it 7/10
p.s. It seems in this playlist, they didn't experiment on us.) It's even interesting — if the vocals had been generated by a neural network, could it have been considered male?

Hozier - Take Me To Church — ah, this is a famous track, I've heard it. Very dreary, 3/10
p.s. For some reason, I thought I'd open it and it would be Snoop Dogg - Go to Church

Old Blind Dogs - The Cruel Sister — I already have HeroesWorld deformation. When I listened to this track, the thought came to me, "This was sent by Arandor." But then I looked at the author and realized I was wrong.
Overall, a good track for December, cold. 8/10
