We can't compare in this way. Chuto Tuto got a better result than Sentimentai. And I would challenge everyone of you to say that Chuto Tuto is a better entry. (For me, it is, but I'm the only Sentimentai hater in this world).It's not great, but this could be Lithuania's year for the win. With their diaspora and in a tight multi-country race this could sneak the trophy like Azerjab...Baku did.. We have had worse winners, so why not. When the Chutto Tutto Cheese did so well, then this would do much better.
I feel the same. I hardly like any of the songs this year. There are max 5 songs that I like. So when people keep going on about this being a strong year, I can't help wondering what they are on about, because.... huh? What are they hearing that I don't?I think 2024 is a genuinely weak year. It peaked in 2021 and since then the decline is steady. At least 2024 is pretty wide open for almost anyone which means diaspora advantage.
I would love them to finally breaking into the top 5. The fact that LT United and The Loop are the countries best performing acts is quite depressing.I like this very much! It is a fresh sounding and very slickly performed pop song. I can definitely see in the top-10 this year. Maybe top-5?

So you find more stronger songs post-2021? Wowowowow2021 wasn't a strong year imo. We had Belgium, France, Italy, Bulgaria, Russia, Ukraine and Switzerland + a few decent girl bops that's it like the originality level was really low not to mention really bad songs like Estonia, Moldova, Austria, Latvia, Macedonia, Poland, Slovenia, Norway. And a bunch of mid and unoriginal songs such as the UK, Spain, Georgia, Albania, San Marino, Azerbaijan...
Like what is so good about that year, I really don't get it.

2021 is one of those years that felt strong at the time but is slowly aging badly. In retrospect, I think that the stage and amazing Dutch production overall elevated most, if not all, entries.As said, I find around 8 songs from 2021 strong, all others are either very mid or bad.
Well, I just compared what each country sent in 2021 and what they're sending this year and the result was 8 vs. 19 (and others were tied), so it's clear which year is stronger to me.

The other year I felt strongly positive about at the time is 2012, but nowadays I don't think I have even six songs that I can say are at least decent.
Stay didn't really do that well with the televote though (when you factor in the lithuanian diaspora)? Sentimentai had a much better televote score.It's not great, but this could be Lithuania's year for the win.

Is it because Jesus is in you now? Eurofans in Spanish bathhouses have experienced the same thing don't worryI genuinely dread this year but I had a shift in taste so who am I to judge profane things? Even Cha Cha Cha is torture now for me.
