Just a joke obviously, but what countries do you think each entry "could have represented", based on the stereotypes and recent entries from each country? Not even sure about some of them, but here are some:

Cyprus: AleXa – “Wonderland”
Just seems like the only country that would go that far with a number like this, though it actually lacks some of the annoying qualities of Cyprus' similar entries, and it's just better overall.

Switzerland: Christian Pagán – “Loko”
Everyone thinks it resembles Alvaro Estrella's entries from the Swedish selection, but none of them actually won, so Switzerland is the one country i can think of that sent something similar to this... Spain certainly wouldn't, though maybe they should have tried!

Estonia or Norway: Hueston – “Held On Too Long”
Norway's "Silent Storm" is especially similar, but Estonia sent several more that resemble it.

Albania: Keyone Starr – “Fire”
Similar to "Feel the Passion" especially, though this doesn't have quite the vocal excursions that all Albania's entries have.

Denmark: Kelsey Lamb – “Never Like This”
Just something very Danish about what she looks like, though there are several countries who sent the same type of song recently.

UK: Michael Bolton – “Beautiful World”
With a big fat last place finish!

Finland: Yam Haus – “Ready to Go”
Once again, there's been several countries with similar entries, i just picked Finland as it seems most relevant right now.

Ireland: Alisabeth Von Presley – “Wonder”
Actually way more spunk than any of the Irish girls, but i can't think of another country that sent this type of entry more than once!

Belgium: Jake’O – “Feel Your Love”
Tough one, but they sent Waylon and the horrid quasi-Elvis Patrick Ouchene with "Copycat", so it fit best!

Germany or Austria: UG skywalkin ft. Maxie – “Love in My City”
Hard to think of who could possibly send this, and the UK was already taken so.... i guess maybe they could?

Montenegro or Georgia: Ryan Charles – “New Boot Goofin'”
Absolutely nothing in the ESC history like it, so these are the only countries that would send something that's... like nothing else!

Come to think of it, it's kind of like Serbia's "Cipela", even to the point of involving shoes, but that was still more of an ethnic song, and Serbia and Montenegro used to be one so....

I thought instantly of :no: too when listening to Hueston (Silent Storm).

Other countries I agree on: Bolton :uk:.

Yam Haus sounds like a Baltic state, probably :ee: or :lv:.

Kelsey Lamb has :au: vibes to me.

Loko sounds :es: (not only because of the language) or could be from a Balkan state (:hr: :rs:).

Wonder - also Balkan, :ru: or :pl:

Fire reminds me of "Rain of revolution" so I say :lt: but it has a grain of :uk: in it

Jake O - :be: or :nl:

Alexa - :az: or :gr: maybe

The two hip hop acts are a bit more difficult to compare.

Ryan Charles could be from a Baltic State or UK again but I agree on :ge: too.

UG Skywalkin :cz:

Ryan Charles - One of :ee:Eesti Laul candidates
UG skywalkin = One of :lv:Supernova candidates
Yam Haus - If you say anything other than Lake Malawi, or generally :cz:, you're objectively wrong. :ROFLMAO::cool:

Grant Koche - Mr. Independent
Could see this coming from Belarus or Hungary, both now defunct, maybe Moldova if they ever sent a male solo artist again...

Brittany Pfantz - Now You Do
Germany or UK if they tried to become hipper.

Tyler Braden - Seventeen
Netherlands i guess, zzzz....

Brooke Alexx - I Don't Take Pictures Anymore
Ireland all the way, even on the spot with their last three entrants.

Ni/Co - The Difference
Kind of an Equinox vibe (Bulgaria), but Estonia keeps sending this type of duets so....

Ale Zabala - Flirt
Portugal i guess, pre-Salvador.

Jewel - The Story
Denmark, though it also resembles a lot of unsuccesful Melodifestivalen entries...

Jesse LeProtti - Not Alone
Maybe Romania or Hungary? Or UK, the chorus kinda sounds like "Embers"...

Judd Hoos - Bad Girl
Who would send a soft-rock entry this messy and undefinable, Bulgaria or Turkey? Macedonia maybe?

Nitro Nitra - Train
Germany all the way!

Sabyu - Sunsets and Seaturtles
Cyprus, kinda reminds me of "One Thing I Should Have Done", though Spain could also go this route, like if Manel Navarro did a ballad i guess!

Riker Lynch - Feel the Love
Hard to think of a country that ever sent anything this vapid and mindless, maybe Latvia, or UK trying to go latin?

Allen Stone - A Bit of Both
Totally feels like Belgium to me, specifically a bit like Jeremie Makiese this year mixed with some previous.

Bri Steves - Plenty of Love
France maybe?

Las Marías - De La Finikera
I'll say Finland, "Työlki ellää" specifically, could also be Portugal.

Alexis Cunningham - Working on a Miracle
Slovenia or Macedonia.

Bronson Varde - 4 You
Spain for sure.

Stela Cole - DIY
Serbia or Croatia anytime.

Jared Lee - Shameless
Poland... just to say something.

NËITHER - I Like It
No clue really, but i say Czechia, seems like something they could send.

Savannah Keyes - Sad Girl
Iceland.

The Crystal Method - Watch Me Now
Belarus i guess? Hungary and the Baltics also went for this noisy electronic rock sound several times...

MARi - Fly
Totally Malta, or Ukraine some year when they don't want to win!

Justin Jesso - Lifeline
Estonia again, or Belarus?

Sweet Taboo - Keys to the Kingdom
Serbia of course, Hurricane mixed with some previous entries.

Andrew Sheppard - Steady Machine
Belgium i guess?

Khalisol - Drop
Hard to think of anyhing this weird, but Montenegro maybe, or Iceland if they sent a rap entry!

HALIE - Better Things
Another Danish snoozer.

Tenelle - Full Circle
Malta!

John Morgan - Right in the Middle
Netherlands, clearly.

Josh Panda - Rollercoaster
Literally Denmark 2021, or Ireland/UK in the 80s.

Ada LeAnn - Natalie
Norway or Iceland.

Sisqo - It's Up
Latvia maybe? Kinda like a male counterpart to Samanta Tina / Aminata...
