Review: CL - Hello Bitches
Oh my gawd!
I told yall about her. I told ya she was gonna BLOW up! Pop rap at it's finest.
The Good: Where. Do. I. Be. GIN!? The heavy loops, heavy bass, and the overall hot Middle Eastern horn-y vibe of the beat or the American hip hop style and fiery delivery of her lyrics? This really showed her bold side and - with the help of Diplo and Parris Geobel - this and the rest of her US promotions aren't in doubt like other girl groups...
It helps that PSY gave her some love as well.
The Bad: Too American? Korea's hip hop industry, while growing, isn't significant enough to aid her promotions back home. CL's song title "HELLO BITCHES" is enough for some in Asia to love or hate her for her brashness; not good to give her a mixed reaction in Kpop-land. Also, I should note the "twerking" going on in the bridge. Kpop females always teetor between being sexy and sexual by not giving up all the goods but her booty popping could be empowering (like she intended) or enough to get her K-fans to leave her alone.
The Ugly: GOT THEM ASIAN GIRLS DANCING ON THE COUCHES LIKE THE KNOW ME AND THEY SINGING ON THE BAR LIKE THEY WAS AT TGE KAREOKE, HUH. You tell em, girl. You ain't no ponoccio Hello Kitty. You're a real bitch now! Slay, queen. Slay!

Bulgaira's Junior Eurovision Selection First Semi Final!
9:00 - I think she tried to reinvent Miley Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball" and it kinda worked. A for effort; I'm quite pleased. She's also a fan of Fergie, I think. (I don't speak Bulgarian but I heard "Fergie" get thrown around 3 times. I give her a 3.5 out of 5
14:10 - Next singer sings Edge Of Glory by Lady Gaga. She's pretty good. She can hold herself on a stage well enough. Very energetic that one but it seems like the judges gave her some constructive criticism... But the judge to the left liked her performance a lot and defended her. I give her a 4 out of 5.
19:45 - Video HALFTIME! This is a decent selection. Humble but still entertaining!
20: 50 - Forgive me but I can't understand what the hell this song is. lol He sounds mature and almost commanding. He even had one judge bump him head - always a good sign. Would love to see him in the final. Anyone notice the star on the floor btw? lol
30:35 - Next singer performs One Night Only by Jennifer Hudson. (I swear I'ma learn names by the final) Good voice on her but she seems very timid. Not sure if timid is a good or bad thing but her voice was enough. Hopefully, if she gets though, she'll handle herself better

1:30 - Song is in Bulgarian so I don't know I don't it. She looks so sweet and reminds me of Russian's JESC entry for 2014. I give her a 3 out of 5.
9:10 - Next act performance "Mercy" by Duffy. lol I didn't expect him. I hope he gets through. Would love to see him on the JESC stage for Bulgaria and compete with Georgia. Vocals are a little off but he made me smile. :) I give him a 4.5 out of 5.
16:50 - RECAP OF ALL SONGS
And that's all. Ican Stoyanov, Eleonora Ivanova, and Paul Mateev went through.
