17 is a nice amount, would've been better to have more returning countries like Kazakhstan (although not sure anymore if they'll ever return considering they didn't broadcast last years contest and not among tv schedule for this year either) or Lithuania, would've also made sense for Switzerland to mark its return after winning the adult eurovision, some countries did that after such win in the adult version (like Portugal or Israel)


or a debuting country like Iceland would've also been nice but maybe some other year

great slogan and lovely design too


wonder who will ''bloom'' the most this year



as for San Marino entry, very likely a child with rich parents who pay for their participation, but not sure whom

speechless, amazing, wow

Portugal, Malta, Estonia got the best entries i think


Netherlands is enjoyable, fun but lacks a magic touch like some of our previous entries did have



Ireland is a nice radio pop entry


Cyprus is nice


Ukraine is decent but far weaker than their recent entries ''Vazhil'' and ''Kvitka''



Estonia is a typical Sven Lohmus production pop entry



Georgia serving again class, as usual, from this powerhouse nation
