Yeah. Usually you can count on them and Ukraine to send something good, but both this year are disappointing. It feels like everyone is trying not to win.

As it stands the level on this years Eurovision is well below average for me. Especially considering the past few years. I really hope the last few countries pull out the big guns.

Oh don’t get me wrong, i look for the fun in Eurovision. Most of the songs this year are lacking fun though.

Estonia might be disqualified and kicked out of this years competition


as Tommy Cash's video still hasn't been uploaded by eurovision official channel

[Nicky91]

i am proud of our second nation, hopefully we're returning to the final again with this Quirky BANGAH

[Nicky91]

San Marino serves quality in their national final!


Marco Carta AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH his song is called ''Solo Fantasia''

That actually not bad. It won’t win but it’s a good song.

you know the aussies love singing about foods and drinks


Men at Work mentioned good ol Vegemite in Land Down Under

[Nicky91]

hope Croatia choose wisely, and not Marko Bosnjak's pretentious ''quirky'' Poison Cake, also i've seen his outfit, he copied Joost with the shoulder pads


Marko Skugor comeback would be nice, ''Sta Da Boga Molim Ja'' is such a traditional lovely balkan ballad tbh

or Luka Nizetic if we want a ethno song by a hot guy

You do know Joost never invented shoulder pads at Eurovision right? A real fan would know that

one of the entries at San Marino


MOTHER serves, this wouldn't be out of place at sanremo AT ALL


so ethnic, mystical, wholesome and those vocals, if she can deliver live would be a possible good entry for them



i am excitedly waiting for Marco's Solo Fantasia to be released, i love most of his work honestly


Pierdavide Carone, he won sanremo 2010 as a composer for Valerio Scanu, this is his SMSC entry

Youtube video

[Nicky91]

how on earth is Luisa Corna 59 years old, she sounds so youthful


am even more mindblown now


what is in the water in italy i am wondering

[Benjamin]

Both Denmark and Germany have given us generic forgettable dance songs.

[Nicky91]

YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS am happy my fave won in Germany!!!


Baller is an absolute smash hit




also Rambo Zambo is an iconic interval act by Raabie, for the new chancellor Friedrich Merz such a bop

[Nicky91]

gonna watch San Marino next weekend, at least i hope there'll be a livestream on youtube for it, as i have quite some favourites there too

[Nicky91]

i may hope Luisa brings her a game for that live performance, studio wise Il Giorno Giusto is even strong enough to be in Sanremo, but that is my personal opinion

i hope the live also captures the mystical elements well like in the music video



Marco keeping Solo Fantasia quite a big secret for now, oh well, based on his discography/vocal skills i have a good feeling about his entry





on 6th March we have Austria's entry, which is a countertenor and he has been on the voice uk even, as well as starmania, and grew up in dubai, Johannes Pietsch or his stage name JJ, expect operatic pop there, and very classical type of operatic pop that is, similar to Dimash Qudaibergen i guess, co-written by his best friend Teya Dora (whom represented them in liverpool btw with Salena for who the hell is edgar?)

True! Decent songs but they could definitely get lost in the competition

more normal songs, up against a pile of sexual filth


Stefan Raab also mentioned Australia's Milkshake Man in that final last night btw



i believe in Deutschland's act, and also a good thing Raab is gonna support them every step towards Basel, apparently they wanted to go with an english song at first, but Raab convinced them otherwise to go with this german dance track, which they had sent a demo version to him so this is a song which was only recently finalized few weeks before Chefsache selection

[Nicky91]

Israel's song is called New Day Will Rise

and it has french, english and hebrew lyrics


composed by Keren Peles


1 million euro budget (paid by Yuval and her family themselves, thx to auntie Ronit, the mega famous A-LISTER entrepeneur in Geneva)

[Benjamin]

I’m not sure how I feel about Croatia’s entry. I feel like after a few listens I’m either going to really love it or absolutely detest it.

the ''tasty tasty'' pre-chorus bits are soooo creeping me out



shame, they had much much better, in one of the strongest Dora editions to date
