    Sweden SWEDEN 2024 - Marcus & Martinus - Unforgettable

    Thought it was interesting how many times a MF winner has competed for the 2nd time in a row, so i made a list.... 2011:Eric Saade - 2nd time in a row 2012:Loreen - 2nd time in a row 2013:Robin Sternberg - debut 2014:Sanna Nielsen - 7th time, non-consecutive 2015:Måns Zelmerlöw - 3rd time...

    Estonia ESTONIA 2024 - 5miinust & Puuluup - (nendest) narkootikumidest ei tea me (küll) midagi

    Don't worry, this is in the final safely. If the performance is anything like the NF, it's safe. I thought the video was a little dark and messy, and didn't really bring the feeling of the NF performance, but who cares. I'm hoping for at least top 15. The bowed lyre needs more representation!

    Norway NORWAY 2024 - Gåte - Ulveham

    Does anyone see this really not doing well outside of Nordic and Germanic countries? The rest of Europe just has no relation to this at all, they don't get any connection, any mood, it might just come across as weird and noisy to them. Not sure and i'm pretty indifferent to it, it seems to have...

    Lithuania LITHUANIA 2024 - Silvester Belt - Luktelk

    I'm really surprised to see this doing so well in the speculations now. I guess it's because the song feels fresh and does what it does strongly, it has an element of Hardbass which is big in many parts of Europe and hasn't really been done in the ESC before. I just don't get the staging, the...

    Fan flops/Dark Horses

    Fan flops: Norway - only appeals to Nordic and nearby countries, comes across as total noise to most others. Netherlands might barely qualify, staging is gonna be a big factor here, we have no idea what they're planning. Ukraine and Italy might end up low in the final, one's too difficult and...

    2024 Winner predictions

    I would have said Switzerland or Croatia, but Armenia seems to have a chance now!

    Greece GREECE 2024 - Marina Satti - Zari

    Surprised this is liked by so many. I would have almost thought people would mostly go "WTF is this?" but i guess it's how she seems so friendly and fun in the video that makes it easy to swallow. I certainly think it's daring, but maybe lacking a bit of musical substance. I get that it's...

    San Marino SAN MARINO 2024 - Megara - 11:11

    Oh god, the video version is WORSE than the live version! I expect this to flop now. There's just no universe in which people are going to vote for this. I had a joke to make, but then i realized Achille Lauro didn't come last, only 12th, but i'm posting it here anyway: In fact i wouldn't be...

    Armenia ARMENIA 2024 - Ladaniva - Jako

    Wow, and that goes straight into my top 5! This is a truly eastern party banger of a kind that it seems should be common in the ESC - but for some reason, there's never really been one. In fact the closest might be Armenia's own "Jan Jan", which was slower and more moody, and some ex-YU entries...

    Iceland ICELAND 2024 - Hera Björk - Scared of Heights

    I think this is one of the worst ESC entries in many years. As we say in Eurovision Trash Contest, she gives us nothing. The song would be last place in a Melodifestivalen semi. She looks awkward and unprofessional, she can barely sing, and certainly not in English. When she goes up on the...

    France FRANCE 2024 - Slimane - Mon amour

    That live performance was too hoarse, screamy. Don't think he's gonna sound like that in the ESC, or it won't do very well. The "a cappella" part sounds weird too, and makes the ending of the song feel anticlimactic. I think this is kind of a waste, Slimane could have been perfect with a better...

    Georgia GEORGIA 2024 - Nutsa Buzaladze - Firefighter

    I think this has a slightly more regular pop, almost R&B feel, compared to Cyprus, Malta and Luxembourg who do the ultra-specific-to-ESC dance number more thoroughly. That might actually help it, since "regular people" seem a bit tired of the Chanel-type entries by now.

    Italy ITALY 2024 - Angelina Mango - La noia

    #3 in the odds right now, but Italy's always overrated, so i'm not afraid. Still think it might be top 10 or nearly, since Italy just seems to be no matter what utter crap they send. This really isn't that bad, it just doesn't do anything for me that other similar entries this year or previous...

    Azerbaijan AZERBAIJAN 2024 - Fahree ft. Ilkin Dovlatov - Özünlə Apar

    Okay so... first off, i hoped they would finally send a song in Azeri, but nope. The verse is disappointing, the chorus is REALLY disappointing, and the traditional ethnic vocals can't help it much. Don't know if they will be performed live or pre-recorded, but i suspect they will be completely...

    The Netherlands NETHERLANDS 2024 - Joost Klein - Europapa

    I'm really surprised, even disappointed that right now, this seems to be getting the most support of all the "joke entries", including ones like Ireland, Estonia etc... Because to me this is the musically and conceptually weakest one. I just thought it was cringy and unlistenably messy from the...
