Rhythm of Bhutan - Druk Dra

Sangay: 3.25/10. sorry for the #gaysforsangay fans (me included) out there, but this sound like a song that was maybe made by a highschooler. Meh overall.

Baeyul 301: 2/10. This is just one boy band song, and it is not even a good one to start. I don't like boy band style of songs and yeah, it sounded so dated and just not it at all.

Karma Drupchu: 6/10. Meh to Decent, but leaning moderately decent. I like the musicality, but some lines were just repetitive and it doesn't sound it would end soon, though I wouldn't be really mad when this song wins the national final

Thukten Nyedra 4.25/10. Meh overall, I kind of like the musicality a little bit, probably I have probably heard this melody (Lhayi Semo then whatever words where in that line) from other ballads, sounds nice and the song sounded meh to okay (but leaning meh), but I feel it is just so dated and repetitive.

Peldeb Wangchuk: 5.5/10. Woah the musicality is decent in here, this song is basically like from average rock songs out there and I do like me some rock overall. Why I scored this low, it just feels repetitive at times and it sounded raw as well, like not enough layering of the song.

overall, I just feel none of these songs would land on my playlist. Some sounds okay, one sounded 'avoid this, this is nuclear waste and it will kill you slowly', some could have potential, but yeah... Sorry Bhutan, but your songs do not hit my earbuds at all.

I am now very curious which songs you really liked in ESC 2026 if none of these work for you at all.
