ha! we have the same top 3, except I have Serbia #1, Netherlands #2 and Norway #3!
lol damn, we are kindred spirits
Konstrakta is extremely down to Earth singer, artist, architect and mother with great sense of humor :)
It doesn't matter. The song is badish at best. The stage is awful!
That's great. She should've brought a good song.
@@EurovisionESC Konstrakta song is amazing.
It deserves to win the whole contest.
You cannot deny how unique and one of a kind the song is.
It’s a musical masterpiece
@@EurovisionESC your opinion
Serbia-Konstrakta!
I'm Croat from Bosnia living in Sweden. My top 10 is as follows.
10. Romania
9. Estonia
8. Spain
7. France
6. Czech Republic
5. Norway
4. Serbia
3. Netherlands
2. Italy
1. Portugal
That being said, I will thumb down any negative comment (if I see any). We are allowed to like different things especially when it comes to music. I love how giddy you get when you speak of Norway in my opinion they will most likely win televote. I love their IG feed, it's absolutely what we needed after the pandemic. You are becoming my nr1 Eurovision youtuber because you're just being honest unlike many others who can be a bit obnoxious at times just to get views. So thanks for that ❤
Almost forgot to mention, this is for me the strongest year since 2016 although maybe not as many songs to have on repeat as from 2016. But this year is amazing, I want to put like 20 songs in my top 10 and I want at least 30 songs in the final 😂
Love your reviews Tom! Thanks alot and also very well presented!!
Thank you fizzPunk 🥰
YES - NORWAY IS ALSO MY NUMBER 1 - and it was even before they won the Melodi Grand Prix in Norway!
Ukraine is my number 2.
Nice to hear some of your thoughts...
I'm Danish... and actually the thing you said about the Danish entry this year was the exact same feeling I had in 2013 with Emmelie De Forrest.... I did not notice that song in the Danish Melodi Grand Prix even... ha ha
BUT KEITH AND JIM ALL THE WAY!! Love Subwoolfer - to the Moon and back
🌝🐺🍌
Dajcie spokój w tej piosence jest tak mało piosenki a tekst Nie zanizajcie poziomu konkursu ludzie...
Thanks for azerbaijan 🇦🇿☺️✨🙏🏻❤️ absolutely right, i don’t know how people couldn’t connect with that song 🎵 hope after rehearsals it will be grower for lots of people ✨
Thank you so much from 🇳🇴🙏 We love our 🐺🐺🍌😆 We are going to have FUN this year!😄 Looking forward to see your «wolfdance» 🙌
Love this video. So cool you like the Dutch entry so much. I also like Norway a lot, Serbia is not my thing but it definitely stands out and will probably do really well for sure. After Eurovision in concert last Saturday Estonia jumped into my top three, I really like that song a lot, Stefan’s performance was brilliant!
I love how diverse is this year and how we all have such a different top 5 songs 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
It's going to be an interesting and surprising year ❤️❤️❤️
What a great post! Thank you! My favourite is your number 3 The Netherlands ✊
Calling the chorus of Brividi an advertising jingle made me laugh a lot more than it should have
I believe your #1 actually gonna win this time around. Great recap 👍
Thank you from Azerbaijan❤🇦🇿

Tom. 2 comments (and I'll probably add more later)
1. Norway...I do think it could win and this is why. This year there are a lot of songs that are jury bait- artistically strong songs sung well. The problem is that those sorts of songs dont have a huge amount of televote appeal and so I think the jury votes will be pretty evenly spread and we will be left with a close race. I think v because there are a lot of similar songs, the televote is going to come through for somebody who captures the imagination of the audience on the night. The two that I think will do that are Spain and Norway.
2. Love your comments about Serbia entirely- and it is amazing. It gets better and better with each viewing. This is why we love eurovision.
Agree with your comments however there are only two countries that can win this : the Ukraine or Italy.
@@seansean8980 Probably only one country that can win this: Ukraine.
@@seansean8980 I agree the Ukraine has a good chance. Italy is handicapped by the ear piercingly screechy chorus: you find it beautiful: it sets me off like nails down a blackboard. A lot of people are going to feel the same.
@@thedistracteddoctor you have no idea how much I don’t find it beautiful! I put down Italy not because I like it but because everyone else seems to.
@@seansean8980 One of the things its easy to forget is that at the end the televote is only partially made up of Eurovision fans: there are a lot of casual viewers on Saturday who tend to go for different songs to the juries and to your average Eurovision fan. They aren’t going to go for a song like Brividi when Chanel is death dropping, Norway is crazy or Ukraine are bravee lads from Ukraine. (My other choice would be Finland - there will be a lot. Of televote love for them.)
Interesting top - 40 and description of every country, thank you for top-4 for #Ochman 🇵🇱🌊🤩👌
Your reviews are the best! And love the magnets much more than edited on the video. Should become your signature move :-)
Omg you have no idea how much time it saves me😂 ！ Editing in graphics for each country is such a nightmare 😭
Also thank you for the nice comment
My current top 10:
Ukraine/France (it changes depending on the mood I'm in. If I'm feeling fierce, it's France; all other times, Ukraine.)
Spain
UK
Georgia
Norway
Poland
Czech Republic
Moldova
Finland
I love this; such a well-reasoned ranking. If I comment on how wildly it differs from my own ranking, this'll end up being just as long. I just wanted to say Roxen last year was my biggest surprise last year. I didnt connect with it all pre-Rotterdam but her interview with Nikki finally made the penny drop and it all suddenly made so much more sense (even the staging concept) so that I was really disappointed it didnt qualify.
Yea Roxen was my number 2 last year so that was my biggest disappointment as well. I saw her rehearsal though so I knew it was coming. They should have adapted the staging to her capabilities, but it just seemed like there was no room for compromise
Interesting! We have 4 songs in common in the Top 10: Norway (my 2nd), Serbia (my 1st), The Netherlands (my 7th) and Ukraine (also my 6th).
Great video Tom... Amazing presentation of your ranking...
thanks chdimas 🥰
Thank you from Norway🇳🇴😊
Great taste ❤️
Excellent video, Tom! I really enjoyed this. Even though we share some very different opinions, I love that you gave thorough reasoning for all of your decisions and I completely respect your music taste.
Anyway, we have 5 top 10 songs in common - Netherlands, Poland, Cyprus, Estonia and Czech Republic :) My top 10 also includes Sweden, Greece, Finland, Portugal and France. I can’t wait to see how things change for you after the rehearsals!
Thanks Paal! 5/10 is not bad! 😂
Love your reactions. ❤❤❤ from 🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱
Thank you Harm 💙
You are amazing❤️ Thank you form Serbia
Greetings from Serbia! :)
Thanks for number 2! Love from Serbia!
Great review Tom. Thanks! As for the live performances: you probably had someone already point you to the 'laser grid' performance of S10. Picture her in a Viktor & Rolf outfit. 💃🕺 Might well be a men's suit.
I mean that was almost perfection. I would be super happy if she won. I can't stop listening although I barely understand any words. I'm so happy that the Netherlands decided on a song in Dutch, reminded me of why I started loving Eurovision long time ago.
Yeeeah! Best regards from Serbia 🇷🇸 ❤
My top 3
1. The Netherlands
2. France
3. Portugal
Great options, all of them!
I would be happy with that result especially since people are not paying much attention to Portugal and it's my favorite as of recently.
Tkank you from Poland 😊
You are great. We have a similar opinion.. my number one is Serbia. 😉❤
Same winner 1 Norway 🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴 Is so unique, unusual 😍😍😍 Hope it can win this year
Bravo,Tom!!👏💞
Thank you Ljiljana
Great video as always. We got about 60-70% overlap in our top 40.
I have a very important question for you though: Where did you get those magnets from? They are everything. 😂
haha yea theyre awesome. these type of things are very easy to get in China as this is where a lot of stuff is manufactured
@@ESCTom Makes sense. Thanks I‘ll have a look at those Chinese apps for cheap stuff. My fridge needs those magnets. 😂
Hi! I was waiting when Finland is mentioned, cool, that not so early ❤I agree your opinions, except I like way more Italy and North Macedonia than you do. My favorit song comes from Holland.
Konstrakta is pure grace embodied! ❤️
I was reading about the big lockdown in Shanghai..hope you are staying safe!
Im safe, but we're all a bit fed up by now 😑
10. Georgia
9. Ukraine
8. UK
7. Moldova
6. Czech Rep.
5. Poland
4. Italy
3. Norway
2. Belgium
1. Serbia
awesome mix
Oh yesssss. Interesting and quirky top ten. Apart from Italy I'm with you on everything in a different order. Each of these songs is just memorable, lile them or hate them
Assuming they all perform at their best on the night, this will be the result.
1) Poland
2) Sweden
3) Ukraine
4) Estonia
5) United Kingdom
I can’t see Estonia finishing this high tbf despite it being my personal top 3.
@@m4sterrr553 nor Sweden. And I'm naturalized Swede lol
@@damirdominkovic I think Sweden will win. They're always pretty close to the top just based on jury votes and this year it seems people are liking it as well so I think it'll win.
@@whereIstood0705 I'm very confident it won't. I'm sure it's not even gonna end up in top5. There's too many ballads and Sweden doesn't stick out. It's a good song but it doesn't have the oomph of Italy or Netherlands. I wouldn't mind if Sweden won but I'm just trying to be realistic.
@@whereIstood0705 I also forgot to mention that Sweden with exception of 2018 and last year came top 10 in televote every other time since they failed to qualify. But people seem to ignore that and just focus on jury vote because Sweden always comes very high with the juries.
in love with your analysis, face and accent
haha thank you 😊
*Norway breathing a sigh of relief, knowing they’re covered in the kidney department in the event of an emergency*
😂
I hope they don’t just ask for it just because it was offered
Is it true the EBU has asked them to remove some of backing track and sing more live? Apparently the "backing vocals" are 85% of the track, and only 15% is sung into the mic? Someone told me that, and was wondering if you could clarify?
My top 5
#5 Australia - it's a strong and powerful ballad that i connect with, what an amazing voice.
#4 Sweden - my home country and i really feel for the first time in a really long while we have a real chance to win, i am so satisfied we're finally sending something else than a man singing a pop song.
#3 France - really unexpected from France, even to participate in eurovision, i think there's a huge potential to grab lots of televotes.
#2 Iceland - the biggest reason why this moved down as my runner-up is the listenability compared to Norway, i don't find it as enjoyable listening to it. The song still is absolutely gorgeous imo, same with the icelandic language, what sets this apart from the other slow songs is the dark and mysterious atmosphere.
#1 Norway - pretty much everything you said about Norway in the video: a brilliant entry with lots of qualities and as i said has a better listenability than Iceland, i see this as a very likely televote winner.
I haven't even listened to all the entries yet 😳
Not having a good year
Lmao Switzerland, now you know how I felt about Bulgaria last year, exactly that. It's probably my last as well tbh
Iceland 🇮🇸 They are number 14 in the semifinals as the Netherlands in 2014! So it will take a good place 🙃😉
so be it)))
🤨
Oh my god! Finally someone who agrees with me on Italy! Don't get me wrong, it's a good song. I like it. But how people are putting it in their top 5s is a mystery to me.
Everyone has different tastes I think and if some people "resonated" more with it or identified more with it I don't think we should judge each other like it's my number 1 song this year and I expect people not to see me as a mystery just because I'm more into meaningful ballads than I am for pop/rock. We all have a different ranking so let's not start to compare and like the songs we want!
Jérémie performed his song on the Voice a few days ago and wow I honestly think he has one of the best vocals this year.
BIG big big tnx 😍🤩 love from Konstrakta and SERBIA
I actually love your current order because I disagree with parts of it so much 😂. It's refreshing and challenging to my brain.
there will be massive changes coming as well. it happens every year
After the releases my top 10 hasn't changed and these songs still don't bore me although the live performances of Austria and Czech Republic have dissapointed me so far.
1. Italy
2. the Netherlands
3 Austria
4. Czech Republic
5. Albania
6. Serbia
8. Georgia
9. Germany
10. Ukraine
Thanks Tom it was interesting to see your top 40.
Since you said that Italy was the only song you kept skipping, you probably should have put it at number 40 instead of number 30.
well not exactly. at least i actually downloaded it. I would never even consider downloading Switzerland. Plus for me its more than just the song, its also the backstory for the whole entry - the performer, staging, the country's "story" in Eurovision over the last few years and how their entry fits in - the entire feeling that all aspects of the entry gives me
I would on reflection maybe move it down 1-2 places. ive realised i like N Mac more than 36th as i had it in my head after editing this. Id prob move San Marino ahead of Italy too
@@ESCTom Yeah N Mac started out an early favourite of mine on the days when there were only about 10 songs.
But something happened to knock it from its place of honour.
I don’t know if it’s that I’d heard it too much or if I’d been influenced by others opinions about it.
It does seem a bit underrated although, I admit that it does suffer from a few corny lyrics in places and is a bit too repetitive.
They seem to be its biggest drawbacks.
Eurovision 2021 vs 2022 would be a pretty interesting video 🤗
oooooooo yes i like that as an idea. ill look into it cos i need to see if i can edit it in a way that looks ok
Only 2 songs from your top 10 match with my personal top 10. I guess it will be hard to predict this year results. Lots of good songs.
that is such an awesome perspective to look at it from. yea its a sign that there is variation and depth this year
Such a thoughtful video. I disagree with many of your top 10, but I do like how you explain how each song impacts you. My top 3 are 1. Czech Republic, 2. Netherlands 3. Belguim. My bottom 3 are 38. Australia, 39 Denmark and 40. San Marino...Also, for what it's worth, I think Switzerlands staging will really change a lot of people's mind when they see it at Turin. Maybe it won't be in your top 10 Tom, but I think you'll change when you see it. I rarely comment, but always watch and enjoy your vids.
All Sweden's songs sound like they are from 10-20 years ago every year. I know they are well produced but they are so dull. I can't believe Heroes and Take me to your heaven were winners.
i dont think that Heroes could win nowadays
@@ESCTom it would get high jury points again I'm sure 😉
It's funny what you said about a British flavour for Georgia's Circus Mircus. It's in my top 10 too, & reminds me of British pyschedelia from the 1960s.
My favourites in no order are: Ireland, Czech, Austria, Armenia, and Estonia. France is growing on me too.
Give us the Denmark reaction Tom! They're in my top 5 :D I love the mid song change up, I love a bit of pop-punk, I think they have tons of energy, I just think it's great!
Reddi manages to be simultaneously catchy and forgettable, so that's an achievement.
lol ok its coming! i genuinely forgot about it until I named them in this vid
Best rock entry this year tho
Subwoolfer has stayed pretty consistent as your number 1 - I love that! As you already know, I'm Norwegian and voted for them and I'm definitely 100% behind our entry this year so they are at the top of my list too. I love that you have Serbia up there as well - that one has grown a lot on me and I think Konstrakta could be a potential surprise winner. I think we are getting a 'shocker' this year where a fan favorite isn't the winner, and Serbia is one of those entries for me that could go down well.
Also refreshing to see some others not ranking Sweden at the very top. I really like Cornelia, but the song is very meh for me. Though an authentic performance, for me the song and staging is quite forgettable. I'll be super happy for Sweden if they do win, but I'm not on the hype-train.
I respect that Norway uses full televote in the MGP but I simply can't understand how this could 've won, especially over Elsie's song. I don't even find it bad , i just find it disgraceful how much computer generated sounds it has. Eurovision should have stricter rules related to what "live" performance means. There is basically little to none live singing into this song. God I hate how many people actually like this song uff
@@EurovisionESC They performed live in MGP. Despite what you think - these are two very competent singers and performers. One of them has a voice that is known to sound 'autotuned' 🙂 You don't have to like the song at all, but you're also discrediting with misinformation here just a FYI.
Elsie's song was fine. It didn't win because the emotion of the song didn't come across in the live performance, and the staging wasn't engaging at all. She would have gotten lost in Eurovision.... While Subwoolfer has already engaged a lot of people and are likely to win the televote.
The funniest part is that Tom is massively biased towards Sweden usually 😂 he'd forgive them murder
@@lillecathrine Elsie wasn't even in my top 5 in MGP so I for one am pretty glad it got forgotten there and not in the contest. Oddly witch wood was my favourite last year and it got passed over by this boy band sounding tune, glad similar didn't happen this year tbh. Subwoolfer is great
I hate Sweden this year.
Wow great job Tom, you were very articulate about your likes and dislikes or reservations and I am more or less on the same wavelength with you, doesnt it feel gratifying when you share the same opinion with others? (I always find it a bit weird but i guess it’s human nature!). Having said that, my deviations: Germany and San Marino are a bit higher,particularly Germany. To my own dismay i haven’t been that disinterested about Italy for quite a long time and it’s the song itself, if that doesn’t work for me then that’s it. Same for Spain. Sweden, surprisingly enough for me, is quite higher,top 5 i think 🤔. France just doesn’t do it for me, maybe because i was sooo rooting for Soa’s ‘Seule’ in the NF. Now (drums..!) the gap widens with Czechia and Poland, the latter is better but it just doesn’t do anything for me, and finally 🤭😱 Norway is my pet hate this year, i can see the novelty but again, like Sheldon sings, we are not the same. PS Konstrakta is a grower, top 10 maybe, but boy i was so disappointed when it won the NF, maybe because i fell in love with two other songs from Serbia’s NF this year, probably my top 2 of this year’s overall songs (Sara Jo’s Muskarcina and Zoe Kida’s Bejbi, wow, true gems, especially Sara Jo, i think ESC is really missing out on her performance and song 😭). Oh and finally, cant stop thinking the reaction Ukraine would have gotten with Alina Pash instead. Many thanks!
Great rundown Tom 😀 Completely concur with you on Italy, Sweden & Norway. I just find Italy a bit dull and the facial contortions are a bit of a turn off. The first time I heard Sweden I thought she was singing a bit out of sync with the backing track and I just havent been unable to ‘unhear’ that. I never tire of watching Subwoolfer, I too am obsessed with it 😀 (ps I hope and think that the UK will do even better than your top 10 ambition - I am one of the UK-ers ready to stomp off in the huff if it doesnt do top 10 at least 😉😂).
im totally in love with Sam, hes fecking brilliant. hes so lovely and positive. I think youll get the top 10, this DOESNT feel like Molly where it was hyped but honestly i thought that song was way overhyped and wasnt actually that good. i think it pretty much got the right placing.
BUT if UK doesnt get top 10, this is still a HUUUUUUUUGE improvement and something to be celebrated
Also, you are FIFTH in the OGAE poll!!!!
I'm not in love with Austria either although I like it more than I did. It started off as my worst one. I'm not blown away by Sweden either but I hope and do think they will be rewarded for stepping out of their comfort zone.
Go Konstrakta. Serbia to the top. ❤👏👍
I completely agree with Italy. In fact its almost the same place as mine. What i dont understand is ur nr1. For me there is not enough singing,not enough showing a vocals in that song to be in top 10,but its fun and unusual,but nothing else.
yea i guess it depends what you enjoy listening to. I guess the vocals arent as important for me personally, im more interesting in the melody and how the song makes me feel.
hope you’re safe in Shanghai:)
Kontrakta best 🌟
Haha I’m big Beck fan and I love Georgia as well! I see a pattern 😆
I appreciate that you put Georgia above Italy, and by a large margin! Made my day 😻
Brividi does nothing for me. And I’m quite digging Circus Mircus. Sadly, Norway does absolutely nothing for me either 😑 I feel cringy about it.
You missed the main link between the UK and Georgia! The St George's cross on the flag!
Lol oops 😅
ahaha my top 10 is littered throughout your entire ranking, which is fun!
1. Albania - like Norway for you, this is my forever #1 since I first saw her Fik performance
2. Sweden - love the authentic emotional resonance. Really hits me hard.
3. Estonia - Love the song, love the message, and he's a very endearing performer live.
4. France - Banger!!!!! Love the ethnic quality
5. Portugal - Made me cry. Instant top 10.
6. Ireland - I actually have a serious problem, I might be addicted to listening to this song.
7. Norway - Love and agree with everything you said about this entry.
8. Cyprus - Too up my alley to be anywhere but squarely top 10 for me. The live performance... should be interesting.
9. United Kingdom - GREAT song. Would do really well commercially as well. Very fun to sing along to.
10. ... Latvia - IT BRINGS ME JUST AS MUCH JOY AS SUBWOOLFER DON'T JUDGE ME. haha.
But entries that have been rotating in and out of my top 10 for weeks include 11. Netherlands, 12. Ukraine. 13. Serbia. 14. Spain. 15. Australia. Oh, and 16. Poland. A lot of good songs this year. I'm having trouble finalizing my ranking and I don't think I ever will. LOL. But I'm keen to see how everyone's rankings shift when we get to the live shows.
haha awesome top 10.
It must be so weird having your number 1 song be almost the first song of the entire season 😂
Yea this season has a lot of strong stuff. I have around 7-8 countries currently challenging to get into the top 10, plus there are songs way down that I think could even jump upwards with amazing staging.
@@ESCTom yeah, I said 'Sekret is the standard this year, let's see who can beat it' and apparently the answer is 'no one' haha. But I don't think any other song this year had quite the same instant impact on me that she did, so I think it's right i keep it there. hehe.
10. Czechia
9. Estonia
8. Belgium
7. France
6. Finland
5. Norway
4. Moldova
3. Spain
2. Ukraine
1. Portugal
Thank you from Spain 🍻
Excellent post and we do agree on a lot, but unlike last year where we had the same top 2 now we only share four songs in our top 10 and in different places... Norway, Netherlands, Poland and Cyprus.
Brilliant how in the end small things in the "argumentation" work out quite differently in one's personal taste.
I've got Serbia, Azerbaijan and Georgia a lot lower than you, and especially Portugal, Italy and Iceland a lot higher, but otherwise we agree on quite a few things.
i think its a testament to how varied and strong this year is so there are so many different songs in everyones top 10
i could not agree more with you about Sweden and Italy
I love, love, LOVE how Norway is number 1!
The wolf stays in my top 3 too, not nr. 1 but no problem if they win ;-)
Love from serbia
Every time you say “spunky”, I can’t help but giggle
lol i need to expand my vocabulary
top 40 omg
Hello, top 3 from The Netherlands:
1. Greece 🇬🇷
2. Poland 🇵🇱
3. Italy 🇮🇹
See people are forgetting about Denmark and sleeping on it - I'm constantly forgetting about Cyprus! I enjoy it for sure but it's one I just don't even think about until it's shown in a video like this one.
My provisional top ten, don't think the songs I didn't listen to will change any of that
Ukraine 🇺🇦 1 - that is NEVER budging, I've spent 3 weeks obsessively bopping to all of kalush's back catalogue, I'm in love with him
France 🇫🇷 2 - one of my favourite genres of music, no brainer
Netherlands 🇳🇱 3 - the song made me cry once or twice and that's not often
Norway 🇳🇴 4 - Keith and Jim, just class
Serbia 🇷🇸 5 - technically deserves to win really, with Ukraine, the most interesting thing on the market
UK 🇬🇧 6 - that guy can just SING. That song is unreal hard to perform. The flat chorus gets it out of my top 3
Georgia 🇬🇪 7 - I don't care if I'm biased, I'm entitled to be biased
Iceland 🇮🇸 8 - I just love it, very elvish
Estonia 🇪🇪 9 - I've been bred on an Enio Morricone diet and this is just good and effective and he's hot
Belgium 🇧🇪 10 - Timberlake always been my guilty pleasure and this is indeed another guilty pleasure. It's very Belgian and I like that they're true to themselves every year.
After that there's a mix of Poland 🇵🇱, which just didn't stick the test of time with me but did grab me initially a lot, Moldova 🇲🇩, gypsy music is live music so looking forward to it, Romania 🇷🇴 - loving the manele tones in the Spanish background, Ireland 🇮🇪 decent song which is slept on, Czech Republic which is just victim of coming out too early and Montenegro 🇲🇪 which made the usual mistake of singing a balkans song in English but would have been awesome in the language
haha i knew your top 2 but v cool to see the other top 10 countries. we actually have 6/10 the same and if I put the UK in it would be 7
yea Romania got stuck in my head yesterday when i was editing this.
i actually think this year is great. it feels really varied and theres loads of unpredictable elements that im really excited to see how they pan out
Yt is bugging like f lately, it won't edit now
Romania is a much better song than Spain however his performance is much, much weaker than Chanel's. If Chanel sang Llámame, we'd have the Elmo on fire gif
I'm expecting to like Cyprus and Armenia, dunno up to what level, I need to get listening
Top 5:
5. Georgia 🇬🇪
4. Cyprus 🇨🇾
3. Netherlands 🇳🇱
2. Poland 🇮🇩
1. Norway 🇧🇻
It's an all over the place ranking for me, with really honest views and clearly personal opinions. And that's what's good about it. You can agree or disagree, but we can clearly see it's based on your taste and it's not being disrespectful towards anyone. And you're still funny.
Also you don't ever show up in my Subscriptions. Who knows why.
Thanks Rafael!
yea at the end of the day, all these top X videos are just opinions. Unless its Martin Osterdahl posting it, people just need to chill out
dunno about the subscriptions thing. I doubt im high up in the algorithm's priorities. i would guess they want channels with ads and more viewers or something
even if you putting me at 30 pains me, thank tou for being correct and honest.
Thank you Paolo
Omg yaas Norway is your winner😍😍 my winner switches between Austria and Norway all the time
we need to start a prayer circle for Austria - theyre in trouble....
I really love Switzerland - it reminds me of Declan O'Rourke. It was top 10 for me.
my top 10 from for the rehearles start 1 my country netherlands 2 czech republic 3 cyprus 4 azerbaijan 5 greece 6 sweden 7 armenia 8 austria 9 belgium 10 spain
I respect that you don't like and don't connect with your no. 38, Tom, but I think it's a bit unfair to use the term "amateur" about this particular song. Yes, I realize you're referring to the stage performance, but musically and composition-wise it's easily one of the most professionally crafted songs which shows unexpectedly high musical intelligence/understanding. But well, everyone's entitled to their opinion, and it sits around second/third place in my ranking (which is why I feel the urge to defend it 😁). Disagreements aside, thanks for good Eurovision content as always.
The Netherlands,Cyprus, Georgia and the train song are my favorites
My top 10:
1 Spain
2 Austria
3 Ukraine
4 Italy
5 UK

Sam is adorable. Yup I would be so happy if he gets to the left side of the scoreboard and escatic if makes the top ten. Should that happen his home town should throw him a party and his local give him free pints for a month. Yup cosigning everything you say about Georgia I will be doing my best to vote them into the final.
OK, so I was agreeing with your top 40 (except for poor Germany, of course, which is sooo underrated) all the way up to top 4 :) and then I just completely disagreed (if that makes any sense)))) I just can't understand all the hype around those performers.
FRom your top 10 I prefer Poland, a terrific singer
Bulgaria keeps getting compared to theme songs from 2000s TV shows, I think it's more like a song for a 2000s Gran Turismo game.
Number one🤣🤣
