- We've got a VERY strong Eurovision year, but I'm not going to let that deter me from attempting to rank my "top 10" favorite tracks FOR NOW (March 26th).
*Disclaimer:
1. This is NOT a prediction.
2. I will change my mind. This is my top 10 FOR NOW... (March 26th)
3. This is my PERSONAL Top 10. I'm not sharing this to convince you to adopt it as your own. I'm sharing to share: you can do the same.

Zari has a grip on me that NO other Eurovision song has ever had... EVER!!! Athens 2025!!!
Definitely
My favourite is Greece (for now) but happy to see some love for Australia, it has grown on me a lot, together with Poland which is in my top 3 now!
I am completely obsessed with Switzerland. I could play on a permanent loop and still find new things to like about it. Five songs in one but completely cohesive.
You should check out the live versions from Swiss TV and preparties. He is deffo deserving to win! 😍😍😍
ΤΑ ΤΑ ΤΑ ΤΑ🇬🇷🏆
It's a shame and actually makes no sense that Greece and Switzerland are to perform back to back in places 3 and 4 in the second semi - final. It's as if they are trying to neutralise both songs.
It was an odd choice
LOVE FROM GREECE...ALESIA WE WANT TO MEET YOU IN GREECE!!!AFRODITE
Just came from a vacation in Miami, and guess what - I’ve heard Greece’s song 2 times at the beach and Dizzy from the UK at the club. Was so happy they both are getting the international traction they deserve, beyond just Europe
Love it.
Oh really? Wow! Go Greece!
Bambie will rock it. She isn’t a singer doing a song, she does a complete theatrical performance. If she doesn't knock it out of the park, I'd be really surprised.
As long as my country (the Netherlands) qualifies and throws a party on stage I’m happy, Eurovision isn’t only about winning, it’s about having a good time, good luck to you all🍀
I think im gonna have to adopt your mindset ❤, i like it 👍
Thank you❤
I personally have the same opinion. Nice regards, good luck to all contestants.😊
Australia is a grower. I personally love it too. I listen to it often. The song from Zwitserland is giving me theater vibes, and its also refreshing.
Greece is indeed amazing too. Just a difficult year overall.
Difficult indeed- so many great songs.
Yes for the Greece love. It’s my number one. So pleased you’re loving this one too!
Greece!!! Eurovision Athens 2025
I'm not suprised for Australia, it is really radiofriendly and melodic track and it's perfect to hear it in car, bar etc.
For Croatia I think that most of the hate is coming because of first position in odds, but we get used to it every year
In love with Greece just as you are😂❤
I have a feeling Italy will soon become first, and then they will give us a rest. Its getting tired to be honest.
Well Croatia just started to free fall on the betting odds for some reason and Italy is catching it up. So lets see if haters will now switch to Italy if it overtakes Croatia :)
@@MM-tz2bs i dont think so, they will maybe calm down i our case, but Italy is always fan favorite and she is very popular this year among ESC fans.
@@ANA-il6js85 Agreed, but there are always people who hate 1st one in the odds, no matter what and that sucks, this is competition and someone has to win xD
@@sonicna i know, and there are people who hate the winning song 🤣, its the same every year. What i dont like are the hate bully comments, i wish people can write their opinion without beeing nasty towards the nation or performer 😉.
Zari changed my brain chemistry for real
As a fellow American Eurovision follower, choosing my top 10 this year is significantly more difficult than the last few years combined. The entries are so diverse this year, I love it.
Serbia and Croatia 💗
TA TA TA NATION RISE UP 🎲
Greece is my No. 1
My number is Switzerland, If Croatia or Netherlands wins I will be happy. Spain is my guilty pleasure.
Greece Italy Lithuania Norway and Switzerland ❤
I Allesia, thank you. Well, there are five songs or countries that would make me happy if they won in 2024: 1 - Greece (Marina is literally a Greek goddess and an Arab musical genius; Zari opens the door to paradise, I love it). 2 - Belgium, it's simply my type of music, perfect, I'll listen to it forever. 3 - Portugal, best female vocals in 2024, beautiful and chilling, unforgettable performance. 4 - Norway, connection with nature and the primordial, to top it off with an unforgettable rock ballad. 5 - France, has the best male voice and celebrates love in Paris. For me it is enough. ❤❤❤
I SO agree with you that switzerland can win the jury, if their vocals and staging are good, yep
Australia is so underrated 😢
🇬🇷for sure this year
🇬🇷❤️
Hey Alesia! Thank you very much for sharing your top ten! It was fun to watch this video. And thanks for teaching me a new expression: Marinated in the xyz!
Haha! TYSM for watching
Top 5, at the moment, Norway, Switzerland, Greece, Croatia and Ukraine
Thank you so much from Greece ❤❤❤❤❤
Alesia: Believe me, ZARI has something magical. I listen to it (or even recall it in my mind) and my soul immediately blooms in happiness!!!
Im so surprised there's no Portugal in your top 10!
Ikr! After all what she said about Portugal’s entry…
It’s on my faves playlist. This is a strong year, and as much as I like the song I listen to other tracks MORE.
So glad u love Norway
@@AlesiaMichelle We wait reaction about Azerbaijan's song❤️
@@AlesiaMichelle hipocresía
I think switzerland wins the jury. This is musically and vocally so exceptional and creative… sure other‘s entries are as much as art as this is but not as on the edge as „the code“. The televote is very hard to predict this year. There are very strong entries competing for similar audiences tastes and I think some now very high rated songs will land surprisingly low in the votes… like unicorn, adrenalina…
We also might have a year, where the 2nd place of jury and televoters gets to win it.
Agree.
Love this top. I like every single song here. My top 10 is
10) Armenia
9)Croatia
8)Switzerland
7)Netherlands
6)Belgium
5)Norway
4)Lithuania
3)Greece
2)Italy
1)Ukraine
Also love France, Serbia, Portugal, Slovenia and UK just didn’t have any space 😢
Thank you for defending Croatia and using critical thinking skills about it. People are being too much about it lmao.
Its because of that bloody odds, if we were 25 nobody would care. ❤
Every time I see someone bashing the Croatian entry or Baby Lasagna himself, I smile. I love to see people reveal their insecurities over their personal favorites and the other songs that threaten those insecurities.
@@craigpacker7171 idk why people struggle with hyping your fave up without bringing others down
@@craigpacker7171 its getting tired, we didnt have that many hate comments last year when we sent Let3 🤦🏻♀️
@@ANA-il6js85 That's because Let3 didn't scare anyone or threaten their personal favorites. "When people show you who they are, believe them the first time." ~ Maya Angelou
Justice for Australia and the UK, I thought I was the only one who enjoyed them so much 🤩. For some reason I'm almost in total agreement with the countries on your top 10 as well as with your honourable mentions. I would also add Belgium because, what can I say, I love this song. Lithuania and Switzerland are some of my faves since day 1✨. Ukraine probably has the best chorus this year. I also love Croatia but I ADORE the Netherlands -this song is just everything🔥. What can I say about Greece, my country? Our song is almost addictive to us. I've lost count of how many times me and my singer have randomly started singing and dancing to it😅🤩 -we of course know it by heart at this point 😅
Thank you so much from Norway. Love Gåte, an exceptionally good live band! Been to several of their concerts🙏🤩🇳🇴 Looking forward to the pre-parties🎶♥️

Gosh, apart from Greece ( I replace it easily by several others, but in this case Azerbaijan) I totally agree with your top
what are your thoughts and feelings for the running orders of semi finals one and two this year
quite apprehensive for Ireland to qualify and it's breaking my heart
She talked about them on her tiktok ❤
Serbia and France❤
I hope Greece going to win this year!! ATHENS IN 2025 🇬🇷🇬🇷
Croatia,Greece,Norway!

SERBIA 🇷🇸
ITALY 🇮🇹
CROATIA 🇭🇷
SWITZERLAND 🇨🇭
UCRANIA 🇺🇦
GRECCE 🇬🇷
NORWAY 🇧🇻
GEORGIA 🇬🇪
AUSTRIA 🇦🇹 (My guilty placeure)
Thank you so much from Greece. All this time I've seen so many love comments from the other countries and it's so amazing because here in Greece, all People hate Marinna and they say really bad things for her and the song. Tysm!!!
Great top ten! Hope we get your “one (or a couple words) word reaction to every song” video some time soon? I always enjoy that one.
I think the fact Italy reminds you warm weather is not necessarily a negative thing. It is taking you on a journey to South Italy seaside sipping an aperol spritz along the beach, even when it is cold outside. I hope you will change your mind and include it in your top 10 because it deserves to. It is current, upbeat; it includes traditional ethnic South Italian music elements and Angelina is going to deliver it to perfection!
Thank you very much! Greetings from Croatia. Baby Lasagna. Metal song =metal voice!!😘😺
THE CODE !!!
Love your love for Ireland. I hope Ireland nails the staging. Can't wait for us to shock Europe 🇮🇪🇮🇪
I hope so too!
Thank you so much 🫶✌️🇬🇷
We want the number one🏆 again so so much‼️
And don't forget.... ta ta ta ta🎲🎲🎲🎲🎲🎲🎲🎲🎲
Filakia 😘😘😘
I didn't expect Portugal to be outside of your top 10, but I get it with so many strong entries. Also I love Australia being your 10th, I think that song is so underrated.
My top 10 is
10. Lithuania
9. Switzerland
8. Portugal
7. Italy
6. Czechia
5. Greece
4. Serbia
3. San Marino (San Marino being in my top 3 feels so surreal)
2. Slovenia
1. Norway
Europapa seems to have grew a lot in your eyes! You liked it on first listen but it seems it took some time for you to truly love it.
Highly entertaining as always! 😁😁
Glad you enjoyed!
Alesia you never disappoint !!🎉
Israel my no 1❤
LMAOOO at La Noia taunting you I FEEL THE SAME here in Ireland. I am obsessed with it, its in my top 5, but i cant listen on the dreary days, It's. Taunting. Me.
Team Lithuania!!
Alecia, I guess you didn’t like the Greece/Swiss combo in the second semi in the places 3 & 4 😂
I'm surprised to see the Netherlands on your list and above croatia based on your reactions videos. The song has grow on me a lot. But I guessed right on switzerland and greece for your top 2 ^^
I'm rooting for switzerland. The audience is gonna go wild!!! I am excited ❤️❤️❤️
Greece and Switzerland!
I love how your top is diverse, I think it just proves how strong this year is... Literally the top 25 in my rankings could be top 10 in any other year because this year is so strong... I'm afraid we'll lose some of our girls (and boys) during the show
Marina will not disappoint you on stage, the Greek choreographer Mecnun Giasarar has collaborated with huge names in the artistic field such as Madonna, Rosalia and also with last year's competition winner Lorin.
With this appearance, Greece wants to celebrate 50 years of participation.
Thank you very much and I hope to see you next year in Greece.
Thanks for placing Greece so high 🇬🇷❤️
lol, your honorable mentions are my exact favorites. And I agree, there are quite a few songs I can see winning. This year really is unpredictable.
I was pleasantly surprised to see the UK in your top 10. Glad you really like it :)
Love these reactions ❤ so well rounded and respectful to everyone ❤️
Omg I knew you liked The Code but didn’t know it would be your number 1!!! Snap!!! I’ve listened to it probably well over 200 times at this point and it still excites me every listen!
Which are the 17 songs you dont have on your list? I am curious ;d
I sais I might révéla my faves playlist- but TBF it’s still in the review process. Songs could be let go before the big show.
Love singl,,Ramonda"❤love singl ,,Dzanum"❤🎉 love Tey Dora!!!!!!❤🎉😊
Its crazy how my top 10 can be so different from yours every single year. Im curious to see your top 10 prediction, if it differs equally much from the subjective choices
No Belgium? Iam in shock?
She has ono tßtaßþeþätaste
I thought to Belgium too. Belgium it's crazy good this year.
@@TineBossuyt-jz6uyWhat word is that?
I support my country, Greece and Marina of course but we can't vote for ourselves. For me this year Switzerland should win ❤🎉
I'm so curious what other songs you like from your top "22"...can you tell us??? 🤔🤔🤔
I want switzerland to win so bad. Their song is just peak eurovision wonderful-ness that deserves to take the top spot!
🇬🇷Ta 🇬🇷 Ta 🇬🇷 Ta
I turned in my OGAE selections on Sunday, so technically my Top 10 are locked in. Of course, who I vote for is going to be its own thing between boosting bubble songs and who I think I is the best on Saturday.
The code is such a great song!!
I really enjoy watching your reaction and hearing your opinion, sometimes I feel like I'm sitting next to you and discussing together.
Oh wow! That’s the goal.
Joost we love u thank you for your reaction ❤
My top 10 this year is OVERFLOWING the heck out of the 10 slots too. My favorite is still Belgium followed by Estonia, but I would like to see Croatia take it even though it’s my 12th place.
Ta ta ta ta ta 💪
We have the same top 2 .....i believe and i want Greece or Switzerland for win !!!!If Marina will have an excellent stage presence, she may have a great chance for the win!!!!!
This year I can't get a top ten, no song has given me a good vibe as a favourite but I can easily pick my bottom 5
I'm completely agreed with your top 10. Switzerland is also my number one
Thanks from Greece 🇬🇷 ❤❤❤❤
Everybody is singing :RIM TIM TAGI DIM 😂😂😂🤩🤩🤩❤💚💙💜❤💖
Everybody?
I can’t bare to listen to more than 10 seconds of this song 😂
Like someone asked you something 😂😂@@bornwithoutconsentobviously
@@irenamajpruz518 do I need permission to speak/type? 😂
No bozo 🤡
@@irenamajpruz518 I don’t owe you anything and I won’t shut up for you bozo the 🤡😂
@@irenamajpruz518 no but I don’t care 😂
We share 8/10, I’ll take that! 👏👏👏
Love from the Nederlands ❤❤❤
Nice reaction
I'm struggling too. As you said: it depends on the mood. Somehow for me Norway and Denmark are growers. Purely based on the song I think Switzerland is my favorite. From this scared little bunny transforming into Annie Lennox. With drum and bass and opera. Brilliant. If the Netherlands win (there is a chance) you can stay in my apartment for free. That's a promise. And I won't be there.
I'm just really looking forward to the staging. Australia might surprise us for the third time and what about Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Croatia, Slovenia, Greece, Armenia, Georgia, Poland, Ireland and of course the UK. Maybe not all potential winners but it can hurt some other countries in the Semi's.
"And I won't be there." made me laugh LOL.
This is a very competitive year ACTUALLY. I'm here for it. :-)
The code is a fresh song. very compulsary. and if for an instant NF had been doing the rap part I know for sure this song would be so huge in the states. But anyway this feels very fresh and it's one of my favourite song to winn along side with Australia.
I like 80% of the songs this year. Last year, I liked maybe less than 20% of the songs
Greece 🇬🇷 is my number one!!! 🏆💖💖💖
thanks from the Netherlands!
Come to Greece anyway, Alesia ❤️
Though to be honest this Greek is rooting for Croatia this year
Alesia you are a queen, greetings from Spain ❤❤❤❤
🤗🙏🏾🙏🏾
Girl I'm so happy seeing Ukraine in your top 10. The fandom has been relentless towards Ukraine and Croatia's entries lately and I don't get why, both are amazing songs that are very deserving in being in the top 10. One fandom in particular has been attacking the others a lot unfortunately, which is sad.
My top 10:
1/ Greece
2/ Croatia
3/ Belgium
4/ Switzerland
5/ Ukraine
6/ Netherlands
7/ Armenia
8/ Estonia
9/ Spain
10/ Portugal
No Austria! I’m
Shocked
I love you! 12 points to Greece!
❤❤❤🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷
This year really isn't hitting me as strongly. There are only about 6 that I really love, and then about another 7 or 8 songs that I think are "just good." However, what I will say about this year is that I have about another 25 songs from the national selections that I have been blasting nonstop. I think this year had a very strong group of potential representatives that didn't get chosen.
