Golden Persimmon ~THE ENDO~

【ORIGINAL SONG】 "Siren" | AmaLee 9/10
It's very fresh, emotional, beautiful, and heartfelt.
You could say it's the complete opposite of generic songs.
A clear favorite in this contest.

DORO - Time For Justice (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO) 8/10
Is this from some game, like Borderlands? I'm not really familiar with it.
Or is it just another video "inspired by Mad Max"?
Overall, it looks stylish, expensive, and ostentatious. It sounds powerful.
The only thing is, Doro seems like a complete outsider among these young people. She looks more natural with her dog.
I don't think I can give it less than a 7, so let's go with an 8, because this is a music contest, and the video shouldn't influence the score too much.

Batman: The Brave and the Bold - Birds of Prey Musical | Super Scenes | DC 8/10
I like this accent and singing style. The first woman sings absolutely divinely; you could listen to it on repeat. The blonde one – I don't like this style, like Nikolai Baskov, when they demonstrate the loudness of the sound instead of vocal control, which spoils the overall impression of the song. The third one is great: good, performs well.
So, on average, 8/10.
I don't like the animation, but that's not important.

Laura Thorn - La Poupée Monte Le Son (Lyrics) 7/10
Oh, someone's been watching Eurovision. I haven't watched it in a long time. It's a decent song.

Lana Del Rey - Blue Jeans 2/10
This is just generic, an absolutely unremarkable song, no different from thousands of others.

Tatiana Kabanova. From the Odessa Kitschman 10/10
A gorgeous timbre, a gorgeous performance, a beautiful melody, a piano arrangement. This is a case where the performer has a very memorable voice and singing style that you can't confuse, a unique style. I really appreciate that.
The first woman from Birds of Prey is the same; she only sang a couple of lines, and immediately all attention is on her.
I even googled her now – Nika Futterman. It's clear that she focused on voice acting in her career, but her talent in singing hasn't disappeared.

The Cranberries - Wake Me When It's Over (Official Video) 6/10
So-so. I can't say I'm a fan of the Cranberries. Yes, it's unique, yes, it's high quality, but it doesn't really grab me.

The Pure Maid's Killer Kiss 5/10
Listened to it without the video, it's fun. But in this case, I can't approve of such craziness. I'm taking away two points for the video. 5/10

梶浦由記 / Yuki Kajiura Official 7/10
Click-click-click-click-click-click-click-click-click-click-click-click-click-click-click.
Okay, it gets better after that.

Fever Ray 'Keep The Streets Empty For Me' 5/10
It's stylish, but sad.
Wasn't this band submitted to some contest by Neural?

Finnish Polka! in Russian / CHORUS of one voice / loituma leva's polka - russian version 5/10
Well... it'll do... it'll do. Smooth McGroove was much more impressive.
"Adygea" rhymes with "Pelageya"!

Russian Red - My Love Is Gone (Videoclip) 2/10
Generic, some woman is singing something. Or I imagined it. I restarted it three times, and I couldn't focus on the song; each time, something was playing in the background.
