Croatia is giving me SPARKS throwback vibes with the hitler moustache (moustache is actually a reference to belarus's dictator Lukashenko, it's a anti-war song, tractors is a reference to Lukashenko having been gifted that by Putin for his share in the war against ukraine)


Romania i mean similar stage presence to Maneskin's Damiano potential is here, great alternative song


Latvia is a beautiful composition of a song, the latvian near the end a lovely added touch, very nice children's sleeping lullaby vibes too



@Niamh 9th place, not 9 points

it's decent, football anthem-ish



Czech Republic is a great ethno bop, love the czech language in this, the ukrainian and bulgarian parts are also nice additions



Italy: The Return of Marco Mengoni, the LEGEND of 2013 with L'Essenziale, his second sanremo win too



Albania is a first in Gheg Albanian btw, and yes Albina is the lead star supported by her parents and uncle on stage, they have been a musical family for a long while now, it is similar to what Serbia had in 2018 (Nova Deca) that sort of entry
