Happy to see Albania rising the odds from 200/1 to now 66/1. I’d love them have a strong finish this year.

They’ll release the French song today, so let’s see if it’s worth the hype. I do usually love the French entries.

Barbara Pravi’s entry for me is still one of the greatest Eurovision songs ever. It was so unfortunate it was in the 2021 contest (prob one of the strongest contests) as any other year it would have won.

The whole top 5 that year would have been winners any other year. Such a strong year

Albania's choice wasn't among my favourites in FiK anyway, that were Gjergj Kacinari and Mal Retkoceri

Malta's choice same there, i rather wanted Lalaratakeke Lalaratakabum or Ghazliet, full on maltese language entries, rather than this controversial one, if u wanna go maltese, better do it full on


Georgia no comment


UK i wanted Franz Ferdinand rumour to be true, with ''Hooked'' which would've been solidly in my top 10


Belgium had better options than Red Crab for sure (Monster, Desolee, Fille e Papa, Perfectly Imperfect, Gloria) all would've been better choices tbh, one of the strongest NF's this season and they went with this turd cuz of tomorrowland nostalgia or whatever

also calling Jelle van Dael a Loreen clone is hilarious, as Jelle did this EDM genre way before Loreen


and Stefanie Callebaut is a farce she got robbed either, flemish kate bush soundalike but also something very authentic and very artsy

Lithuania and Armenia are others who tend to send solid acts.

balkan ballads i always have liked though


full of drama, i am happy Nina and Darko Dimitrov (i always have so much faith in him to deliver quality ballads) went with even stronger Bond vibes in the revamp


now only the staging to sort out for Basel, but i am feeling hopeful, also their video of their revamp, was just to present the revamp, nothing more

A lot of the songs are over 3 minutes. They’ll reduce it for the live performances.
