Is it just me or is this a terrible year?

Yes this is a terrible year especially when only 2 of the songs are only my most favourite in their respective national final.

Bad

Really relying on the internals still to be revealed, plus Sweden to go with Cornelia and not Anders and for Bulgaria to not be trolls and actually replace their entry

I've started listening to the songs so will update whenever I've listened to new ones.

 

At the moment:

 

Passable

Albania: Ronela Hajati - Sekret

 

Average at best

To be ranked: San Marino

Edited by 💙💛uhsting💙💛

I've tried to do a ranking but it's mostly terrible this year. Special mention must go to Australia for entering the worst Eurovision song since that yodeling song that Romania enetered.

 

Top 3

8.5 Czech Republic: We Are Domi - Lights Off

7.4 Israel: Michael Ben David - I.M

7.0 Croatia: Mia - Guilty Pleasure

Edited by Colm

this year is absolutely cursed

 

 

surely it can't get any worse

 

 

Australia decided that it could

I don’t even want to rank. This year is so poor…
I would love for Cyprus to pull it out the bag like they did in 2018, but I very much doubt it. The choices so far this year are boring as hell.

20. Spain: Chanel - SloMo

21. North Macedonia: Andrea - Circles

22. Ireland: Brooke - That's Rich

23. Malta: Emma Muscat - Out Of Sight

24. Latvia: Citi Zēni - Eat Your Salad

 

nah, this year is turning a corner now. San Marino's proper studio version, Montenegro, everything is coming together as normal. FOR ME, some people may be stuck in the "worst year ever" March blues for a little while

 

Great

1 Czech Republic: We Are Domi - Lights Off - The only one that makes me want to re-play the second it's over

2 Estonia: Stefan - Hope - epic widescreen magnificence

 

Very Good

3 Netherlands: S10 - De Diepte - This has so many good things going on. I expect it to be a grower

4 Croatia: Mia Dimšić - Guilty Pleasure - instantly loved this - it may ware thin over the coming weeks.

5 Finland: The Rasmus - Jezebel - Not nearly as good as Blind Channel but still very enjoyable

6 Israel: Michael Ben David - I.M. - This took a while to grow on me.

 

Good

7 Italy: Mahmood & Blanco - Brividi - lovely song

8 North Macedonia: Andrea - Circles - I've been singing this without even knowing it. It has entered my subconscious.

9 Montenegro: Vladana - Breathe - first listen sounded promising. I expect this to grow.

10 Ukraine: Kalush Orchestra - Stefania - the flute parts are my favourite.

11 Spain: Chanel - SloMo - Definitely growing on me.

12 Ireland: Brooke - That's Rich - Best of a bad lot of Irish entries. There is something slightly off-putting about the whole package, though.

 

Average

13 Albania: Ronela Hajati - Sekret - Ordinary

14 Norway: Subwoolfer - Give That Wolf A Banana - studio version is very weak because of the autotune. Live version has a lot more heart and soul.

 

Poor

 

15 Poland: Ochman - River - can't get Lana Del Rey out of my head when I listen to this - and I don't like her very much

16 Malta: Emma Muscat - Out Of Sight - Fading fast.

17 Germany: Malik Harris - Rockstars - dull, coming for 25th place

18 Slovenia: LPS - Disko - not even very good at what it's trying to be.

19 Lithuania: Monika Liu - Sentimentai - This is the sort of stuff that should never get out of the national selection stage.

20 Moldova: Zdob şi Zdub & Fraţii Advahov - Trenuleţul - Just no

21 Bulgaria: Intelligent Music Project - Intention - still hoping that this is a troll entry

 

Awful

22 San Marino: Achille Lauro - Stripper - was he drunk during his performance?

23 Latvia: Citi Zēni - Eat Your Salad - seriously? This advert music, and bad advert music, at that.

24 Australia: Sheldon Riley - Not The Same - This is one of the worst entries from any country in a long time. I hate the "woe is me, I have no friends" schlock, his voice is slightly irritating and there's no melody. Just long notes.

My wish for an "amazing" song to put in its own category has been granted (lets see if Sweden can make it two!) so I think this year is turning a corner now.

Just had a full listen to everything so far, first time I've done that with all of the songs together for now:

26 Latvia: Citi Zēni - Eat Your Salad

27 Moldova: Zdob și Zdub & Frații Advahov - Trenulețul

28 Slovenia: LPS - Disko

 

This year is looking better of late, at least there's a solid top 8 I really like but there's just so many middling, boring, forgettable, formulaic or barely there songs still!

Amazing :wub:

1. Czech Republic: We Are Domi - Lights Off

2. Malta: Emma Muscat - Out Of Sight

3. Estonia: Stefan - Hope

4. North Macedonia: Andrea - Circles

5. Poland: Ochmann - River

 

Great

9. Montenegro: Vladana - Breathe

10. Romania: WRS - Llámame

Mid-table

13. Finland: The Rasmus - Jezebel

14. France: Alven & Ahaz - Fulenn

15. Australia: Sheldon Riley - Not The Same

16. Israel: Michael Ben David - I.M.

17. Germany: Malik Harris - Rockstars

Not For Me

20. Serbia: Konstratka - In corpore sano

21. Denmark: Reddi - The Show

22. Croatia: Mia Dimšić - Guilty Pleasure

23. Lithuania: Monika Liu - Sentimentai

 

Yuck :puke2:

24. San Marino: Achille Lauro - Stripper

25. Slovenia: LPS - Disko

26. Latvia: Citi Zēni - Eat Your Salad

27. Bulgaria: Intelligent Music Project - Intention

Amazing :wub:

1. Czech Republic: We Are Domi - Lights Off

3. Estonia: Stefan - Hope

 

 

:wub:

Here's my first rank, a lot of them I've only heard once. I can hear that the likes of France and Netherlands will grow a lot, this is just an initial reaction.

 

Great

 

1. Denmark: Reddi - The Show (this is a 9/10 and I hardly expect it top my final rank but I do really like it, a definite improvement on Denmark's last few for me)

2. Norway: Subwoolfer - Give That Wolf A Banana (good fun and super catchy, and lol at Ben from A1 being behind it)

3. Croatia: Mia Dimšić - Guilty Pleasure (just a good little pop song!)

 

Very Good

 

4. Finland: The Rasmus - Jezebel

5. Switzerland: Marius Bear - Boys Do Cry (I definitely see this doing better than expected, at least with the juries, it has a real charm)

6. Italy: Mahmood & Blanco - Brividi

7. Germany: Malik Harris - Rockstars (I'm not sure I see this as being last, Dermot Kennedy is very popular and it reminds me of him)

8. Ireland: Brooke - That's Rich

9. Malta: Emma Muscat - Out Of Sight

 

Good

 

10. North Macedonia: Andrea - Circles

11. Spain: Chanel - SloMo

12. Poland: Ochmann - River

13. Estonia: Stefan - Hope

14. Czech Republic: We Are Domi - Lights Off

15. Netherlands: S10 - De Diepte

16. Ukraine: Kalush Orchestra - Stefania

17. Albania: Ronela Hajati - Sekret

18. France: Alven & Ahaz - Fulenn

 

Quite good

 

19. San Marino: Achille Lauro - Stripper

20. Serbia: Konstratka - In corpore sano (I don't hate it, could see it being a meme and making the final off the back of a strong televote)

21. Montenegro: Vladana - Breathe

22. Romania: WRS - Llámame

 

Ok

 

23. Georgia: Circus Mircus - Lock Me In

24. Slovenia: LPS - Disko (literally just filler, such a shame they didn't go with All In)

25. Lithuania: Monika Liu - Sentimentai

26. Australia: Sheldon Riley - Not The Same (possibly the worst from Australia, although Isaiah ran it close)

 

Bad

 

27. Latvia: Citi Zēni - Eat Your Salad

28. Moldova: Zdob și Zdub & Frații Advahov - Trenulețul

29. Bulgaria: Intelligent Music Project - Intention

30. Israel: Michael Ben David - I.M. (couldn't warm to this at all, just found it extremely irritating)

 

For what it's worth, Space Man would be in my top five and the best UK entry in a while. I really don't see that it would be another nul pointer for us at all.

The fandom is really keen on Serbia and the performance warms me up a bit. I'm still getting to terms with the vocals which is the main reason I skipped the song after the first few seconds of listening. Breathe is turning out to be quite a song!
