(slightly, though. Karma has a progression that doesn't satisfy me, very promising start but the peak is quite underwhelming, while Fall From The Sky is a bit more impactful. I prefer Arilena as a vocalist too. I'm looking forward to the revamp though, everything can change)

(Not a big gap either since I like Set Me Free but Feker Libi is more impactful for me. Set Me Free gets quite underwhelming as the song goes on, especially in the chorus. It doesn't have a proper end either. The only part I disliked in Feker Libi were exactly the last 30 seconds, but the more I think the more I realize that song had an appropriate end)

Not the best start to 2021 as both these countries were in my top 10 the previous year. Albania's entry is ok and there's always the traditional revamp to look forward to/be terrified of. Israel meanwhile.. oh dear. Eden had my 7th favourite song last year. Set Me Free is doing nothing for me. Feels kind of lame

Better: It didn't take a lot to improve upon "Fall From the Sky". I'm reserving full judgement until I hear the revamp but unless they do a 2016 on it then it should be ok.

Equal:

Worse: As much as I hate to say it, Feker Libi was such a hit of a song, Set Me Free is just such a let down after that

Albania are better, and Israel are worse. That's my truth.

Equal: - Karma isn't bad but always leaves me wanting. I'm still sour about the selection.

Worse: - I actually quite like Set me Free but it's unpolished and nothing on Feker Libi.

I hope that 2021 continues that way.

Better:
(a lot - I liked The Best In Me but Voilà is just magical, a piece of art for me. Probably my favorite French entry since 2009, tied with Amir)
