well, watched semi 1 and the 6 finalists and I must say it's a complete tragedy this contest didnt go ahead in some form, the quality is amazing - there are 12 tracks already I need to buy, 2 more and it's cheaper to buy the CD....

Winner so far? I don;t see how Sweden could have failed to win, but also fab so far

Malta
Lithuania
Ireland
Russia
Azerbaijan
Israel
Spain
Germany
Italy
Netherlands

The variety, contemporary sounds and willing-to-take-a-chance musically continues to put the UK to shame. This year's entry for the UK is not bad at all - but it's not as good as the above.

This was my ranking of them based on the listenthrough on plug the other day, feel free to roast me for any trash takes x

I'm aware I'm probably the only person in the world this time ranking Slovenia so highly but I have a big soft spot for a good Balkan ballad and the chorus on 'Voda' just really struck me as one of the standout moments of any song in the bunch - they really came that close to being my top country two years in a row! Although this song isn't even 10% as good as 'Sebi' was, nothing this year came close to the quality of that and I think overall the quality was a bit down from last year in general oops, a pretty good top 6 here tho.

Lithuania very easily my favourite and I'm sad they didn't get to win the UK televote xx

1 Lithuania
2 Slovenia
3 Armenia
4 Albania
5 Italy
6 Belgium
7 Serbia
8 North Macedonia
9 Poland
10 Russia

11 Bulgaria
12 Moldova
13 Iceland
14 Ukraine
15 Azerbaijan
16 Czech Republic
17 Israel
18 Denmark
19 Spain
20 Switzerland (I think this would probably grow on me quite a bit if I listened to it more, it ended just as I was starting to get into it)

21 Portugal
22 Austria
23 Netherlands
24 Cyprus
25 Greece
26 Norway
27 Finland
28 Australia
29 United Kingdom
30 Georgia

31 Belarus
32 Germany
33 San Marino
34 Estonia
35 Sweden
36 Latvia (that drop is not cute)
37 France
38 Croatia
39 Malta
40 Ireland

41 Romania (honestly who allowed this to happen)

7 (4) Israel · Eden Alene ‒ Feker Libi

Very good/listen to these a fair bit

8 (7) United Kingdom · James Newman ‒ My Last Breath

10 (6) Sweden · The Mamas ‒ Move
11 (9) Lithuania · The Roop ‒ On Fire

18 (17) Switzerland · Gjon's Tears ‒ Répondez-moi
19 (15) Ukraine · Go_A ‒ Solovey
20 (13) Cyprus · Sandro ‒ Running

Pretty good/very occasionally listen to these

21 (19) Estonia · Uku Suviste ‒ What Love Is
22 (36) France · Tom Leeb ‒ The Best In Me
23 (31) Spain · Blas Cantó ‒ Universo
24 (20) Serbia · Hurricane ‒ Hasta La Vista
25 (21) Poland · Alicja Szemplinska ‒ Empire
26 (23) San Marino · Senhit - Freaky!
27 (24) Albania · Arilena Ara ‒ Fall From The Sky
28 (25) Belarus · VAL ‒ Da Vidna
29 (26) Czech Republic · Benny Cristo ‒ Kemama

Average/never actively listen to these

30 (22) Finland · Aksel Kankaanranta ‒ Looking Back
31 (29) Slovenia · Ana Soklic ‒ Voda
32 (28) Austria · Vincent Buono ‒ Alive
33 (32) Romania · Roxen ‒ Alcohol You
34 (30) Greece · Stefania ‒ Superg!rl
35 (38) Georgia · Tornike Kipiani ‒ Take Me As I Am
36 (27) North Macedonia · Vasil - You
37 (33) Armenia · Athena Manoukian ‒ Chains on You
38 (34) Latvia · Samanta Tina ‒ Still Breathing
39 (35) Moldova · Natalia Gordienko ‒ Prison
40 (37) Portugal · Elisa ‒ Medo de Sentir
41 (39) Croatia · Damir Kedzo ‒ Divlji vjetre

A solid year overall and would have been an amazing contest as I know so many of these would have had fantastic staging and elevated them into even more of a moment. Bulgaria remains subline but Italy has been the biggest grower for me, so stirring and impacting. And Iceland would have made a great winner, it's the whole package. Russia's would have been their best entry in years for me too.

A very solid entry from the UK, I'd like to think James would have come on the left hand side or thereabouts, with a strong jury vote and a better televote than usual (I wouldn't hold my breath on the latter but I think he would have got a lot of 1s and 2s on the televote).

For probably the first time ever there's nothing I dislike but Portugal and Croatia are pretty skipable.
