Agree with Lisa Andreas. A timeless classic. But Bosnias song is rather boring. It’s not made for an international audience.

My top 10 with some comments: 10th | Belarus | It's a fine entry personally, I quite like his voice and the performance is good as well. 9th | Bulgaria | It's so different and out there with a weird voice but I love it, greatly performed, well sung and well done. 8th | Serbia | Definitely a deserved winner, despite it not being my winner. Powerful, vocally perfect. Great entry. 7th | Norway | A very random entry to have in my top 10 I know, but it's just such a danceable song, Guri is a great singer. The dress changes are cool as well. I really wish it qualified. 6th | Slovenia | Originally 4th, has dropped recently due to a couple of other favourites coming into it, but it's a great song, I usually love opera as well so yeah. 5th | Georgia | Was my winner until recently when I relistened to the year and realised Georgia is no longer my favourite, it's a great song, amazing debut for Georgia. 4th | Hungary | One of the two growers, I absolutely love Magdi's voice, the rasp in there is beautiful, the entire song is done extremely well. 3rd | Germany | The second grower, I never realised I liked jazz until this song, Roger was great, the song was great, everything about it is great. RIP Roger. 2nd | Finland | When I re-ranked 2007, Finland ended out on top, 1st, for 2 days. (Poor Finland), I still listen to this (along with Norway and Germany and 1st place) all the time, it's a brilliant rock song (and dare I say... better than 2006 and 2008 Finland) 1st | Bosnia & Herzegovina | This was 5th, jumped to 2nd and 2 days after becoming 2nd became my winner, I love everything about this entry, the dress, the stage, the vocals, the song itself. It's such a good entry, it definitely should've ended top 10. Running order may have killed it a little (it opened the final) but overall it did well and was amazing.

No one knew at the time how unique and great this year would be, with the rubbish that followed; it was the same after '12 and '17, long waits in the doldrem's afterwards, years with only 1-3 good songs that are forgotten now. Pretty fair selection; Swiss and Italy in my top three

Agree with Montinage, but Malta extremely underrated

My top 15 01. Ukraine 02. Austria 03. Hungary 04. Spain 05. Estonia 06. Romania 07. Greece 08. Israel 09. Ireland 10. Albania 11. Belarus 12. Armenia 13. North Macedonia 14. UK 15. Denmark

2:40 people were surprised because Blanka cheated her way into the contest by having her mother rig the polish jury so that the deserved polish performer Jann lost

Rip Örs❤

Wtf this is like exactly my top, thats scary

honestly, probably share the same top 7 (in different order) + France, pretty good video and I understand most positions here

No matter what the televote says 10th place for Queen Iolanda was the best thing happening this year

Molly was 17 when she performed her song that night, she actually was the youngest Irish participant ever. And the song is so emotional, she felt what she was singing there, it's just absolutely gorgeous. Ireland really deserved most of their NQs, but "Playing with numbers" is one of their best attempts ever.

The best part about "I stand" is that she's literally just standing. Also Icebreaker supremacy❤

The worst thing about the Romania NQ is that she wasn't even close to qualifying. Like... this is so amazing! I still listen to that song regularly and she only came 13th...

Latvia appreciation❤ I genuinely think this was Latvia's best attempt between 2017 and 2023 when they always NQed. But she deserved to qualify. Her stage presence is amazing.

Jj😮

Some time ago you wrote in a community tab, that you weren't looking forward to Joosts Song. Im very interested to know: What changed there?

THIS YEAR IS INSANE I totally understand your thoughts on it, but I think this might've even surpassed 2014 for me. There's SO MANY good songs this year; yeah, there's some subpar stuff, but less so than most other years. Also nice, we have the same winner :o You do NOT have to read this, but I'm familiar enough with all the entries that I can actually say something about all of them! Here's my thoughts: *37. Doomsday Blue (Ireland):* I've really tried to get into this, but I just can't. Bambie Thug's style is just way too harsh on the ears for me. *36. The Tower (Poland):* Opposite problem, really; it's not bad by any means, but it's very uninteresting musically and I just don't care enough to put it higher. *35. Titan (Albania):* I actually think the revamp is better instrumentally, but the English lyrics ruined it. They sound really awkward. *34. Firefighter (Georgia):* As soon as I saw Darko Dimitrov was writing it, my expectations went downhill. It's messy to the point of being hard to remember. There's barely a structure to it. *33. Loop (Malta):* I preferred the original; the revamp feels much more static and less catchy. *32. Liar (Cyprus):* At least Cyprus' other "girlbop" entries are interesting, but this isn't. The lyrics are really cringey as well. On the other hand, I have full confidence this will rise in my ranking after the show given it's Silia Kapsis. *31. Hurricane:* JESUS the lyrics are bad. Like wow. I actually kind of like the instrumental, but the song makes me feel absolutely nothing. Who wrote this??? Of course the only good lines are in Hebrew. *30. In the Middle (Moldova):* I kinda like this song, but the staging here is very uninteresting. On the other hand, this is Moldova. *29. Always on the Run (Germany):* Not bad by any means, but it's too far on the radio friendly side to make any impression whatsoever. *28. Hollow (Latvia):* Title checks out. It's all too melodramatic and makes me feel nothing. *27. Sand (Denmark):* This is pretty nice, I'm glad it won DMGP. *26. Scared of Heights (Iceland):* People are REALLY over-exaggerating how bad this is. It's not really good or anything, but I enjoy it. Sure, it's dated, but so is her 2010 song; both of her entries are dated in a more charming way. *25. Zorra (Spain):* The message of this is genius, but the music doesn't really interest me. I'm all for synthpop but it doesn't feel very synthpoppy,. *24. We Will Rave (Austria):* I think this is completely saved by the early 2000s vibe it's going for, because without that you're left with a rave track that _severely_ lacks oomph. The beat drop is not worth the buildup. *23. Ramonda (Serbia):* Beautifully composed, written, and sang? Yes. Does it make me feel anything at all? No, sorry. *22. Fighter (Luxembourg):* I will defend this winning against Drowning in the Rain till the day I DIE. It's like if French chanson had a child with radio pop and I really like it. It could be much more interesting, but it's something I've gone out of my way to listen to. *21. Veronika (Slovenia):* I feel like this is ruined by the instrumental, it sounds way too much like a movie trailer. The songwriting is really interesting. *20. Mon Amour (France):* This is completely saved by his vocals, which gave me furious goosebumps on early listens. Without him, it would be extremely bland. *19. Dizzy (United Kingdom):* I LOVE the synth in this. I wish there was more development after the first minute, though. *18. Jako (Armenia):* I found this a bit grating on early listens, but I got used to it. It's great!! I love the amount of ethnic entries this year. *17. No Rules (Finland):* I wasn't too big of a fan of the UMK performance, but I still think this song is a banger. *16. Unforgettable (Sweden):* I get your comparison between this and 2018, but the one thing that separates those two to me is that M&M aren't annoying performers and make it a really likeable song. Also, once again, the synthesizers are GREAT. I hope they perform the song in its original key signature, as it sounds much better there. *15. Ulveham (Norway):* I'm not too crazy about the song itself, but the live performance and staging of this is just fantastic. Furious goosebumps. *14. Europapa (Netherlands):* I would love if this won, honestly. Just a banger, nothing more to say. *13. Teresa & Maria (Ukraine):* I don't think it's nearly as good as many make it out to be, but I still would be happy if this won. It's peaceful yet still has a powerful meaning to its lyrics; it's just the right amount of subtle. *12. (nendest) narkootikumidest ei tea me (küll) midagi (Estonia):* "Hey guys, VSauce here, and today I decided to go to EUROVISION" *11. One Milkali (One Blood) (Australia):* SEVERELY underrated. I like their style; this is probably an unpopular opinion, but I like this more than "2000 and Whatever". It sounds very cosmic; the use of the didgeridoo makes it sound all the more futuristic. *10. Before the Party's Over (Belgium):* Mostly because of the audio production. It sounds really good. *9. **11:11** (San Marino):* THIS IS OFFICIALLY MY FAVORITE SAMMARINESE ENTRY EVER! I've seen a lot of people blast this as "forgettable", and I would agree...if I didn't loop it for half an hour on Apple Music after it was chosen. *8. Rim Tim Tagi Dim (Croatia):* Would I get assassinated if I said this was better than Cha Cha Cha? Also I'm never listening to any NF song in "radio audio" again because that was like 90% of the reason I wasn't crazy about it initially. *7. Özünlə Apar:* Ignoring the fact that this shouldn't be allowed to compete, this is my favorite entry from Azerbaijan. Hopefully they're about to go out with a bang, huh? It's nothing mind-blowing or anything, but it doesn't have to be. Every time I listen to this song, I feel like the music is coursing through my body. It's just beautiful. *6. The Code (Switzerland):* I had high expectations for this when TEYA was expressing hype for this, and this did NOT disappoint. I have the same "movie trailer" problem with this as Slovenia, but it's not as bad here. I LOVE the mishmash of genres, and I LOVE...well, everything else honestly. *5. La Noia (Italy):* Italian ethnopop??? HELL YEAH! This is a fan favorite for a reason, it just bangs. My new favorite from Italy. *4. Luktelk (Lithuania):* The vibe this creates onstage is just insane. *3. Pedestal (Czechia):* What a rollercoaster this has been on lol. First debuted in last and held second to last for like three eternities, then I realized "hey, the song itself is actually right up my alley" and I moved it way higher, and now not only can I not factor in the live performance but the revamp is even better than the original. I love how it's heavier on the drums than the original. I also really like the added bridge; the original felt like it ended too early, but the revamp solved that issue. *2. Grito (Portugal):* I love how Portugal almost won my ranking after 4 straight masterpieces and then Greece, a country which I've only liked one song from the past decade, inexplicably leaped in front of them. Anyway, this has gotta be one of the most powerful ballads I've heard. It really hits me hard. *1. Zari (Greece)*

Nebulossa has recently been up and about in your city performing at gay clubs! Maybe you saw em…

Norway 🇸🇯 in TOP 👍🎸🎤📀

Love Glow, Zovi me Lena, and L'amore in bocca. Definitely underrated.

Your Serbia and Portugal song choices were excellent. Didn't know how you felt about those lineups fully, so really cool that you picked songs that were both a) great and b) underrated in the results and amongst fans. Your Italy choice is less for me. Enjoyed the video though!

So 'Zari' is apparently your favourite song of the season. I appreciate all of your NF winners, even if I don't like some of them, as they are unique and not overhyped/obvious fan favourites. Taste for 'Glow' 2nd. I also like 'Place I Call Home' & 'Zovi me lena', both overlooked gems.

Fiðrildi is so good, I'm glad someone else thinks it was the best of the selection. Oh and Place I Call Home! It's been stuck in my head for weeks

Man it sucks St Pedro’s staging was so awful. He could have been an easy jury winner

I already know people are gonna complain about the songs I have at the very bottom here, but keep in mind that the songs I have in the 30s here were in the mid 20s and even high teens of my actual ranking...this is just what happens when you have such a strong group of national final winners compared to a bunch of "good but not outstanding" internal selections. I doubt many people will agree with a lot of my NF picks (especially the ones I have higher up) but, personally, I'm very happy with how this list turned out, especially the Top 10. NF season was actually pretty stacked this time around. Some trivia: - I was THIS close to putting The Last Polar Bear in here. I didn't because it's technically not even eligible for Eurovision due to AI being involved, but the song just hits for some reason lol. - I thought Melfest's final was pretty horrendous but I initially had Que Sera in here instead. That or Effortless probably should've won out of the finalists, but obviously, they left some of the best stuff behind in the heats. - I didn't really look into Poland's selection but I'll say that I'm not a huge fan of WITCH-ER Tarohoro even if it would've been a smarter Eurovision choice. - Still waiting for the studio version of Breaking Bad

Very tasteful! I found myself disagreeing with quite a few towards the start of the video but in the end all of my top 10 are in your top 11, which is about as similar as things get

great top!

After I saw your expectations on your community post I did not expect you to put Netherlands 2nd. I must say I may be the only one, but that music is just not my type, whatever's the message they're conveying. Otherwise some similar feelings about the contest. About Ramonda I was a little like you until I saw her live performance, that changed everything!

Ngl. That is actually one hell of a top three. ^^

Thank you so much for 1st place! Anyway, from your latest community post I thought you were going to boycott Eurovision 2024 and stop uploading Eurovision tops for this year, so I stopped searching for new content from you. I still prefer seeing from you a top without Israel (& Azerbaijan) than no top at all. We have some disagreements, but great taste no matter what.

I am happy for appreciate Ireland and Estonia

I feel like the only person on the planet not high in Greece's entry. I get real "Eaea" vibes from it.
