This thread is for any general Eurovision 2023 discussion not limited to or specifically about any country's national selections or song choices.
Yes, rooting for the lackluster german entry is quite telling about the quality this year. There's not one song that I completely enjoy whereas in the last year there have mostly been several. I don't know but it seems like everyone was running out of ideas and the geniality was used too much the last years. To me, only Käärija is the one that I an see as having the X-Factor.This year turned out not too bad in the end. But it doesn’t have the same quality like 2019-2022. These years were outstanding so far. 2023 falls a bit flat compared to them. It will definitely be not my favourite year because many songs are mediocre and the big epic glitter and boom factor is missing. Most songs are a bit lacklustre in that regard. But it’s a good year, nonetheless. It’s also definitely not my least favourite year. So, yes, I‘m looking forward to May. Actually, the thing I‘m most happy about this year is my country - of all things.
I‘m looking forward to cheering for LOTL!
I did a quiz today on which 10 songs I'd pick to qualify for Semi-Final 1. Many people are saying that SF1 is a bloodbath, but I was struggling to find 5 songs that I liked, let alone 10. Most of my favourites are in Semi-Final 2 and the Big Five+Host.
I don’t think it’s that bad lolI do wonder how long it’ll be before the host broadcaster decides who’s in what semi final - in order to prevent unwatchable semi finals
disagree but somewhat agree. In a way that I also can't fill my top 10 faves in this semi but the potential of all the entries are up there. Like they could easily overtake one another by a little mistake like perhaps the staging thus the bloodbath. I don't know you but I'm bewildered by how you think it's not a bloodbath, I mean compared to semi-2 this semi have no clear NQ at least for me.I did a quiz today on which 10 songs I'd pick to qualify for Semi-Final 1.

Podgorica2024!
Ya know, I believed the first sentence
Then saw the video you linked
And realised
He was born in Montenegro! EBU should make this happen, pls!
16 participants each semi final would be so much "fairer" as well!
