It’s back! The (in)famous ESC United “Expert” Panel is returning once again! While we don’t claim to be professionally qualified to judge anything, we certainly have strong opinions, so our staff and editors got together to review all 41 of the songs taking part in the Eurovision Song Contest 2019 which will take place in Tel Aviv, Israel this May.  Which song are we going to pick as our overall favorite, and will #YOU agree with us or decide on a different winner?

Duncan Laurence is going to represent The Netherlands at the Eurovision Song Contest 2019 in Tel Aviv, Israel with is entry Arcade. Since the country has had somewhat of a “rebirth” at the contest in 2013, the broadcaster has stuck to an internal selection, rather than going with a National Final. The song shot straight to the top of the Betting Odds charts but do we agree with it? Here are our thoughts, this is the ESC United “Expert” Jury.

Watch our video to get our detailed thoughts and scores and don’t forget to vote in the poll. What score do you give to the Dutch entry? Will the reader’s results differ greatly from ours? We’ll find out soon enough. You can find the team’s individual score in the video.
