Take it or leave it
Having had two near misses in three years, Mariette went into Melfest 2018 with high expectations behind her, including a heat-four pimp slot that set tongues wagging that she was going in as the one to beat.
Sadly that turned out to be very far from the case. There are elements of For You that I like a lot. The production on the verses, a hook that would've made a fabulous pre-chorus if something, anything followed it. But for a song that was pushed so aggressively by the producers, it's genuinely shocking how half-written it sounds. That middle eight is actually unforgivable.
A real wasted opportunity, and she was very lucky she had enough goodwill (and was in a weak enough final) to do as well as she did.
10th: Mariette - For You (5th 2018)
11th: Louise Hoffsten - Only The Dead Fish Follow The Stream (5th 2013)
