What a fun final we would have with them. I would happily switch them out with Belgium, Switzerland and Azerbaijan. Though I really dislike 'Jezebel' I don't mind it in the final, just because it is up-tempo (thank god it won't open the show again, cause it took time for me to recover after that) 😅 The biggest improvements for me from studio versions to the live performances are Lithuania, Estonia and Serbia & Montenegro. My biggest disappointments are Albania and Cyprus.

May 13, 20223 yr Pre-final ranking of the finalists: Incredible 1 (1). Sweden: Cornelia Jakobs - Hold Me Closer She'd better come top five, this is as magical as the first time I heard it 2 (2). United Kingdom: Sam Ryder - Space Man This is running Cornelia very close though, wonderfully unexpected UK entry, especially with the performance Great 3 (4). Norway: Subwoolfer - Give That Wolf A Banana Just insanely...insane, and catchy 4 (16). Portugal: Maro - Saudade Saudade So beautiful, the gorgeous performance has fully elevated this for me 5 (30). Serbia: Konstrakta - In corpore sano Boarded the Konstrakta train fully, this is such a great spectacle and now firmly lodged in my head 6 (5). Greece: Amanda Tenfjord - Die Together Wonderful but this feels so off kilter as a Greek entry, for me it's the fifth Scandi entry in the final Very good 7 (10). Czech Republic: We Are Domi - Lights Off 8 (12). Spain: Chanel – SloMo Lots of speculation over this winning, for me it's an 8/10 song with an 100/10 performance, will that be enough to lift it to victory? She is a star though and I can't wait to see what she does next 9 (23). Lithuania: Monika Liu – Sentimentai A definite revelation, she is just sublime and so classy 10 (11). Finland: The Rasmus - Jezebel I'm glad they qualified as it is a really solid song from them, not the best of their career but good enough 11 (15). Netherlands: S10 - De Diepte 12 (9). France: Alven & Ahaz – Fulenn 13 (27). Ukraine: Kalush Orchestra - Stefania If it does win then fair play, it's extremely infectious Good 14 (15). Iceland: Systur - Með hækkandi sól Understated but growing 15 (19). Poland: Ochmann – River 16 (17). Italy: Mahmood & Blanco – Brividi 17 (18). Switzerland: Marius Bear - Boys Do Cry 18 (24). Estonia: Stefan – Hope 19 (21). Germany: Malik Harris – Rockstars 20 (26). Romania: WRS – Llámame 21 (39). Moldova: Zdob și Zdub & Frații Advahov - Trenulețul 22 (28). Belgium: Jeremie Makiesse - Miss You 23 (31). Armenia: Rosa Linn - Snap Ok 24 (37). Australia: Sheldon Riley - Not The Same 25 (38). Azerbaijan: Nadir Rustamli - Fade To Black A distant last, I don't hate it but it's very much just there for me Edited May 13, 20223 yr by gooddelta

May 15, 20223 yr Was not following along with the thread for the final (need to catch up) but this was my first* impressions ranking of the songs in the final: *except for the UK and Italy which I had heard before, and that definitely gives Italy a bit of an unfair advantage as I know their live performance was flawed but I just happen to already know I love the studio version. Sam nailed his live performance anyway though so I feel like my ranking for him is probably accurate to where he would have been if this was my first time hearing it. 1 Greece / Die Together - this was a shock to me as I hadn't read much about this to suggest it would be a favourite (save for a Lorde comparison here or there as I now vaguely remember seeing) but it really connected with me, that said I'm not sure if the vocal effects are going to sound better or worse on the studio version so the jury is somewhat out on this 2 Ukraine / Stefania - this on the other hand I expected to stan and I did x 3 United Kingdom / SPACE MAN - king 4 Italy / Brividi 5 France / Fulenn - the other one along with Ukraine that I expected to stan, it wasn't as great as I hoped honestly ('SHUM' is unbothered) but still an easy standout, deserved a much better result 6 Poland / River - hoped to be a fan of this too as I really liked his BJSC song, was not disappointed 7 Moldova / Trenulețul - this was sorely needed in that second half, Zdob please keep being entered 8 Finland / Jezebel - it's no 'In The Shadows' but this was still a solid rock entry if not as heavy as I'd have liked it to be 9 Romania / Llámame - hola mi bebébé 10 Czech Republic / Lights Off 11 Spain / SloMo - this was dangerously close to just sounding like any old stock reggaetón song but it was a bit of a bop, can see the appeal and glad it did well for them 12 Azerbaijan / Fade To Black - the quality starts to decline pretty steeply from this point onwards, I was quite bored for the first half of this song but it picked up enough in the end to scrape a 'best of the rest', the top 11 (and really only my top 8 to be honest) are my main standouts 13 Iceland / Með Hækkandi Sól - liked this more than I expected to, still justice 4 RVKDTR 14 Australia / Not The Same 15 Estonia / Hope - saved by a nice instrumental, the rest of the song wasn't up to much 16 Serbia / In Corpore Sano - wasn't sure what to make of this at all, I felt like it ended just as it was getting good, could very well be a grower 17 Sweden / Hold Me Closer - sorry but I didn't like her voice, maybe it sounds better in studio form. the song was ok I guess 18 Norway / Give That Wolf A Banana - Moldova outsold 19 Portugal / saudade, saudade - I feel like I might have been a bit too harsh on this in retrospect but just keeping my rankings as they were for the sake of this post 20 Lithuania / Sentimentai - I know Iz and Jade both really liked this one so I had some expectations but it went pretty far over my head, hope it'll be a grower? 21 Netherlands / De Diepte 22 Switzerland / Boys Do Cry - similar to Estonia, the instrumental was nice, but a much more boring song so harder to save 23 Belgium / Miss You - inoffensive but felt very dated 24 Armenia / SNAP - get this out of here 25 Germany / Rockstars - get this doubly out of here I need to go and check out the DNQs and I'll also relisten to all the songs with their studio versions and post an updated ranking whenever I get around to that. Probably in a few weeks. x
May 16, 20223 yr Ranking of the final (my top 5 were all very strong and Sweden was fab as well. Down to 15 I enjoyed a lot and then the next three was alright. The last 7 however were boring/rubbish imo) 01 United Kingdom (our best vocal and staging performance in years, he did us proud) 02 Spain 03 Greece 04 Czech Republic 05 France 06 Sweden 07 Finland 08 Moldova (I enjoyed both this and Banana but this one just edges it for me for being slightly more comical) 09 Poland 10 Norway 11 Estonia 12 Ukraine (Would be a few places higher if not for the rapping which was a bit ehh) 13 Armenia 14 Romania 15 Iceland 16 Australia 17 Italy 18 Germany 19 Lithuania 20 Netherlands 21 Switzerland 22 Serbia 23 Azerbaijan 24 Portugal 25 Belgium Edited May 16, 20223 yr by Roba.
June 11, 20223 yr New ranking of all the songs after finally getting around to peeping the DNQ performances + the studio versions of all the songs B-) Semi 1: 1 Greece / Die Together 2 Ukraine / Stefania 3 Moldova / Trenulețul 4 Denmark / The Show 5 Portugal / saudade, saudade 6 Slovenia / Disko 7 Lithuania / Sentimentai 8 Iceland / Með Hækkandi Sól 9 Bulgaria / Intention 10 Latvia / Eat Your Salad 11 Albania / Sekret 12 Norway / Give That Wolf A Banana 13 Austria / Halo 14 Armenia / SNAP 15 Netherlands / De Diepte 16 Croatia / Guilty Pleasure 17 Switzerland / Boys Do Cry Portugal, Lithuania and Armenia have grown on me a bit (the latter is still not really for me but I kind of hated it on first listen whereas I found it tolerable relistening to it now). Switzerland was even more boring than I remember it being, the rest are about the same as I remember (I don't think Moldova works quiiite as well in studio form as it does live but it's still a bop). Only 6 of my top 10 here qualified so that's not great, but it was a fairly mid semi in general, the top 3 are the only ones I really care about much and they at least all got through. Semi 2: 1 Georgia / Lock Me In 2 Poland / River 3 Finland / Jezebel 4 San Marino / STRIPPER 5 Cyprus / Ela 6 Romania / Llámame 7 Czech Republic / Lights Off 8 Australia / Not The Same 9 Azerbaijan / Fade To Black 10 Israel / I.M 11 Estonia / Hope 12 Serbia / In Corpore Sano 13 North Macedonia / Circles 14 Sweden / Hold Me Closer 15 Montenegro / Breathe 16 Belgium / Miss You 17 Malta / I Am What I Am 18 Ireland / That's Rich Georgia were robbed xx Serving some slight Everything Everything vibes so I am forced to stan of course. Once again only 6 of my top 10 actually qualified and only 2 of my top 5, oof. This was a better semi though. (San Marino's live performance wasn't great in fairness, but I liked the studio version a lot more). Sorry Sweden fans but I still don't get it, if anything I liked it less on relisten :ph34r: also unfortunately can't say Serbia grew on me at all really, I still thought the same as on first listen, it meanders doing nothing interesting for the first 2 minutes or so then when it finally sounds like it's picking up it abruptly ends. Finland and Australia were slight growers. That Irish entry... we were hyping that really? It was pretty cringeworthy oops ~ Final: 1 United Kingdom / SPACE MAN 2 Greece / Die Together 3 Ukraine / Stefania 4 France / Fulenn 5 Italy / Brividi Georgia / Lock Me In 6 Poland / River 7 Finland / Jezebel San Marino / STRIPPER 8 Moldova / Trenulețul Denmark / The Show Cyprus / Ela 9 Spain / SloMo 10 Romania / Llámame 11 Czech Republic / Lights Off 12 Portugal / saudade, saudade Slovenia / Disko 13 Lithuania / Sentimentai 14 Australia / Not The Same 15 Iceland / Með Hækkandi Sól Bulgaria / Intention 16 Azerbaijan / Fade To Black Israel / I.M Latvia / Eat Your Salad Albania / Sekret 17 Estonia / Hope 18 Norway / Give That Wolf A Banana Austria / Halo 19 Serbia / In Corpore Sano North Macedonia / Circles 20 Sweden / Hold Me Closer Montenegro / Breathe 21 Armenia / SNAP 22 Netherlands / De Diepte 23 Belgium / Miss You Croatia / Guilty Pleasure 24 Switzerland / Boys Do Cry Malta / I Am What I Am 25 Germany / Rockstars Ireland / That's Rich I may be caught up in the hype of everything that happened with Sam after the results but... I do think now that if I wanted to put on a song from this Eurovision I genuinely would go to 'SPACE MAN' first, I already loved it before and still feel like I was underrating it retrospectively, so why not, UK best Eurovision country for once. Sorry Greece after me being like the only person here to rank you 1st before :kink: France sounded even better in studio form, let me weep eternally at how robbed that was in the final. Spain grew on me a little too. Germany still embarrassing themselves compared to the rest of the big 5 but Ireland save them from coming dead last at least x
