Based on the videos I would put all the songs on today’s Junior JBJ in the non-winner’s but potential top 10 category. There were no duds. But I imagine a lot will depend on vocals, stage presence and staging which may be even more variable in Junior than in Adult. There is also the question of the draw. The strongest songs have been drawn early which may open up the way for someone with an inferior song but a late draw and a good performance to take it. But how important will running order be, given there is no televote but three different types of jury?
