Not a massively vintage year for me based on the studio versions but I've got the top 11 on repeat and the top five I'm hammering. I'm not going back hugely to the rest at this stage, but of course the live performances will shake this up as it always does. Czechia, Iceland, Australia and Germany feel surprisingly high!

Edited April 22, 20241 yr by gooddelta

Obviously think Israel shouldn't be going. So why do they have one of the stronger songs?!

 

 

 

I think I've listened to everything but there's a lot I can't really remember much about. My top 10 is something like this:

 

1. Croatia

2. Switzerland

3. Italy

4. Estonia

5. Netherlands

6. Ukraine

7. Greece

8. Sweden

9. Spain

10. Finland

 

But I have basically no opinion on the rest of them and I'm likely to change my mind to the ones I've not paid much attention to. Glad to see that my favourites are up there with the overall favourites!

1. Ireland

 

And what else?

 

Massive huge gap and finally

 

2 . San Marino

 

CROWN THE WITCH!!!

Final rank, taking out the non-qualifers:

Netherlands remains my favourite, just about, but Ireland is comfortably second now after that astonishing performance. Greece is the big climber in the top 10, love Marina! Serbia and France are sounding a lot better to me, although not songs I'd go out of my way to listen to, and Estonia is more fun than I gave it credit for before. Luxembourg and Germany joining the category of skips for me I'm afraid.

2 (4). Ireland: Bambie Thug - Doomsday Blue

What ? It's strong contender for the worst Eurovision song for me.

I loved it.

(bit odd to randomly bump a year-old ranking thread like that but hey-ho)

I normally do a May ranking as well as a March ranking, shame, I would have put Doomsday Blue at a far and away #1, at nearly a year later I'm still blown away by how good that performance was.

Might be my favourite Eurovision entry of the 20s so far.

I didn't listen a half of 2020s Eurovision songs, so started with 2024. Honestly, it's a torture for ears and eyes too.

I must do a new rank for 2024.

I occasionally go on youtube just to watch the 'Doomsday Blue' performance.

I did that every day for months. I also watched reaction videos of the song. Some right wing Americans were shocked that the performance could be broadcast at all.
