18:25 "Lithuania having some problems climaxing" lol Tom phrasing!! 😅 but appreciate the love for 🇸🇮 Raiven -- really love the darker, more interpretive performances and would love them to qualify!
That moment broke me! lol If you've ever watched the anime Hetalia, the character version of Lithuania came to mind and I had to pause because I couldn't stop laughing.
It's funny this year as I've been watching people's top lists I have never been annoyed lol There is so much quality this year that it can be completely different and I can be "yup I can see that" But just happy to see Croatia and Switzerland so high. My personal top 2!
People seriously need to grow up when it comes to hating on peoples musical preferences 😂 It's just someone's personal list. It doesnt mean that the song is going to flop! They can always bump their favourite song up their own list! I do enjoy seeing everyones lists. Will share my top 20 a little later as I'm still at work. I noticed the notification and had to jump on! 😊
I know! It's so silly how people need to grump at others for having a different taste in music. If you don't like other people's ranking videos then make your own. That's what I did and it's been a lot of fun 🙂
Netherlands was also my winner for 2 months but you know what… with that staging Bambie skyrocketed to my winner pedestal🇮🇪🤘 best staging in Eurovision for years and could see a common linets moment for your country Tom☘️
I think there could be a Shock Win this year. France, UK, Italy, Netherlands who knows ??? Every year certain songs have all the hype etc etc but then get nowhere in the Final. I think this year is wide open.
There are many great songs this year. When I listened to all of the songs for the first time I was surprised. Finally! A Eurovision that feels like a collection of unique European genres, sounds and cultures. I wanted to slap myself just to check if I wasn't dreaming.
For folks who might be salty, this year is *incredibly* open. There are paths for so, so many countries to win and basically everyone to do well! This is a fabulous year!
Love the content! Thanks! I'm so surprised the Netherlands is the number 1. I'm so curious what surprise Joost brings to the staging. He is amazing on stage but that isn't rehearsed. But after overthinking the song so much, he must have liked the staging too. Even though the rehearsals are not delivering on the hype at all. He could have made a mistake, but he is a Eurovision fan so I think he managed to hide the surpise and will blow us away
I had this crazy idea that the surprise is going to be that it's Käärijä in the blue chicken suit. I've seen clips of them goofing off together, they seemed to have fun, and Käärijä's new song is called Kot Kot (which means Cluck Cluck), so in a way it would also indirectly promote that. I know, it's wishful thinking on my part, I just really love Käärijä and Joost and want them to team up 😂
We actually have no less than eight countries in common in our top 10! I don't have Belgium and the UK there, instead I have Portugal and Greece (which are both in your top 20. Greece is currently my #1... I'm just obsessed with Marina. But it's really close, Switzerland, Italy and Netherlands might end up as my final #1. Love to see your appreciation for Europapa, it's really special. This will be such an exciting week! 😃 Take your rest Tom and have a fabulous time in Malmö! ❤
@@ESCTom haha no? Well I'm just a sucker for songs that mix modern and traditional. Like Eaea is still my hot favourite from last year; Zari is more urban but to me it's just as captivating.
So happy to see Europapa at #1. I am OBSESSED with that song, it makes me feel both immensely joyful and melancolic (my dad recently died of cancer) and reminiscent of better times (loved Eurodance in the 90s). It's just the perfect Eurovision song to me. My absolute favourite is Ulveham, I feel that song deep in my soul, but I know it doesn't have a likely chance of winning, so I'm happy to throw my support (and votes) behind Joost Klein. So many good songs this year though. Croatia, France, Italy, Portugal, Lithuania, Armenia would all be worthy winners to me. I had more or less given up on Eurovision during most of the 2010s, and only reelly got into it again in 2021, and since then it's just been getting better and better.
Interesting as always, Tom. I love your comments on France. We all have a few songs that means that bit more, because we can attach it to a feeling or a place.
Loooooove that we have the same top 3, just in a different order 😅 so I will be happy if any of those win (but I'm also rooting for Greece and Norway!). Regards from Chile!
The most anticipated video of the season for me is here hehe. Although Baby lasagna is my 7th place rn, im also prayingggg for Croatia to take the win. That would literally make my entire year. Thank u for the video and for 1st place ofc ❤️🇳🇱🇪🇺
Tom Netherlands 1st awesome! Going down in the bookies, actually Ireland took it over. We will see it Thursday, I only really missed Austria in your list.
thank you for sharing your top 20 with us❤ and thank you for not hating on our (finns) choice😂 i totally understand that it is not for everyone, but ive been truly sad for windows95man and henri receiving so much hate - breaks my heart😢
❤My top ten ❤ 1. Switzerland 🇨🇭 2. Italy 🇮🇹 3. Greece 🇬🇷 4. Croatia 🇭🇷 5. Serbia 🇷🇸 6. Australia 🐨 7. Slovenia 🇸🇮 8. Portugal 🇵🇹 9. Georgia 🇬🇪 10. Norway 🇳🇴 Ireland just misses out at 11th place but it's so insane to place Ireland so high for the first time ever. So excited for Bambie's performance tomorrow ❤
I agree as well. I don't particularly like the goth esthetic, but I love that they're trying something different, and it seems like this time it's an artist that actually wants to be there and who has a clear vision about what she wants. I'm oddly invested and care more about Ireland making it through than my own country (Denmark 🇩🇰). I think taking a risk should be rewarded.
@@Selfishjean81 Thanks for the support. I am actually a fan of the Danish entry this year. I think it's being underestimated. I know if one of your larger neighbours sent it, it would be getting more attention.
Really great video, as usual Tom. Thank you so much for your nice words for Croatia🇭🇷. Yes, hype is really big in Croatia and for the first time ever we're gonna have live watching of the ESC final in Zagreb. And don't worry, we won't be upset because Croatia🇭🇷 is "only" 3rd on your list😂😂😂. Different people have different tastes. For example, the song you put 10th (Norway🇳🇴) is my personal No1. And I'm so happy because of your Ireland and Bambie which I also like (in my top 10). They absolutely nailed in the rehearsals and deserve a final this year.
I love this year's ESC because there isn't a single song I find terrible - there aren't even any so-bad-it's-good songs, either. Plenty of great songs I'll come back to for casual listening, perhaps a few songs I don't care that much about, but overall an amazingly high level of quality that makes this ESC year one to remember. If there's hate against any personal ranking for not placing some song higher, it's uncalled for: everyone's ranking is going to look different, otherwise we wouldn't need a contest. I'm looking forward to watching a wild scoreboard on Saturday!
I've missed the run-up to Eurovision this year. Unfortunately my health took a significant dip, & when that happens I cannot tolerate sounds, so listening to music has been out. I hope this is over now, until the next relapse. I've only heard about 5 of the entries this year as a result & have also not kept up with the gossip. The last song I heard was Norway, watching their national final. I've missed your videos, Tom, more than anyone else as I feel you always come across as more authentic & less bitchy than the other Eurovision channels. I'm excited to see your comments on the UK's entry. I have heard it & enjoyed it ad it sounds like an updated version of 80s pop, & I was an 80's kid. You also mentioned in this video you've got a job. I'm delighted for you. I remember you talking about how difficult it was to find one in your field after you came home from China. I hope you're enjoying it. :-)
My personal favourites this year (random order) Belgium, Spain, Estonia, Australia, Portugal, Italy, Croatia and the Netherlands. Special mention to Ireland (sorry not in my top 10) but applaud them for daring to go for something different and by the look of it, having changed their fortune🙏🍀
I have heard people joking that Luktelk is about erectile dysfunction... so your comment that "Lithuania having some problems with climax" cracked me up even more...
Thank you for picking Olly for your top ten, hope you have been enjoying it all so far!! Good luck to Bambie too, really hope Ireland does well this year 😊
Ukraine ranking 17th - didn’t expect it from you. Well, ok ) it seems producers also decided to withdraw Ukraine out of competition this year, giving them 2nd order number (death slot). Nevertheless, I’m sure Ukraine will do great and will be remembered with their entry, no even need to win🙂
So this year I avoided listening to the songs (except Sanremo of course) because last year maybe I heard them too much the actual show wasn't as 'exciting' so basically I listened to all the songs just the other day. So far my favorites are: 1. Croatia: as soon as I heard it I just couldn't stop listening to it, I understand now why its one of the favorites 2. Italy - yeah a lot of bias here but I know it by heart so can't help it. 3. Netherlands, Same as you I thought it was fun and just 'ok' but the ending was really a surprise for me to and I can't watch it without tearing up! I hope they don't cut it out of the performance. 4. Estonia: just love this ethnic feel it reminds me of Moldova 2022, just a fun song. 5. France: classic ballad great voice nice to have a bit of calm in the middle of all these bop songs. then for the rest of my top 10 in no particular order I like Lithuania, Georgia Luxembourg San Marino and Czechia. But as I said I just started listening to them so for sure my list will change.
This was a really fun video to watch and really interesting. Also I don’t watch rehearsals anymore because I want to be surprised but I do look at the odds. As soon as the rehearsals were shown my number 1, nemo dropped down in the odds and I’m really worried that the staging is bad or their vocals aren’t good. To me that doesn’t make sense though because they have seemed so comfortable on stage and are so stylish. But Ig I will find out in 4 days😰
My Top 10, from before the rehearsal pics & clips: 01 Ireland 02 Switzerland 03 Ukraine 04 Lithuania 05 France 06 Greece 07 Portugal 08 Norway 09 Armenia 10 San Marino Regarding San Marino: I like the song, but I have to admit that part of my appreciation for it comes from having watched (too too much) of San Marino's selection and the journey THAT was.
@@ESCTom I fully expect to be blown away. Bambie was my favorite before Eurosong and then just knocked me out at the live show. And every step of the way, they have been nailing it, all while being true to themself. It's been a GREAT Eurovision run, and I cannot wait for tomorrow night.
This year is very strong and open, lots of great songs! My Top 20 (everyone there is at least 8/10): 1. Netherlands 🇳🇱 2. Lithuania 🇱🇹 3. Ireland 🇮🇪 4. Croatia 🇭🇷 5. Switzerland 🇨🇭 6. Estonia 🇪🇪 7. Norway 🇳🇴 8. Sweden 🇸🇪 9. Italy 🇮🇹 10. Georgia 🇬🇪 11. Belgium 🇧🇪 12. Finland 🇫🇮 13. Greece 🇬🇷 14. Portugal 🇵🇹 15. Ukraine 🇺🇦 16. Azerbaijan 🇦🇿 17. Slovenia 🇸🇮 18. Armenia 🇦🇲 19. Latvia 🇱🇻 20. Malta 🇲🇹
I agree with you that the Irish entry might not be the one I listen that much to, but what a stage show! Ireland is now in my top 10, which I never thought - also hoping for Joost to win it, despite having Olly as my favorite.
TOM judging from today's jury show maybe you should prepare yourself for the next competition being closer than you think 👀👀 Because I saw Bambie and immediately though "this is a winner's performance" and I know I'm not alone. I CHOOSE TO BELIEVE
Really sad Ukraine isn't higher on your list (but not mad! LOL!). Wish Ireland could be higher, but I'm just happy they've gone up as much as they have over the course of the season! Other than that I like your top 4 or 5, though Netherlands wouldn't be my top - I have a friend who moved there years ago now and this is the first year she's really into it, so if he won I'd consider it a win! LOL! I love Nemo, that would be wonderful if they won!
I would be happy with any of your top 5 win this year. However I agree with you that Croatia winning would have a special meaning for that country and It would be great to see the contest move to that part of Europe
I appreciate all the singers! They are professionals for sure and we never know what will happen there! Nutsa 🇬🇪🇪🇺🇬🇪 should be somewhere between 1 to 10. For me she is a winner!
I agree. I am from Sweden and 15 seems about right this year. The sad part is that I seen other talents from the twins that way surpass the genre they are in and do not seem to fit them. Check Marcus and martinus version of wicked games. Or the accustic version of Unforgetable. I like Ukraine more than you do. But my winner is either Nemor or Joost.
Can we just appreciate Tom's sincere sympathy with the erectile dysfunction of the entire Baltic nation in Lithuania? > "Lithuania has a problem climaxing"
It’s so hard to pick a song you want to win because so many are deserving. If it is purely based on the song, Estonia is top for me. It’s super infectious ❤ But tell me, when will you react to some more of the rehearsals? I’m very intrigued to know what you think of the UK 😉
Great Top 20 Tom. So glad to see Malta in there - OMG, so underrated, and absolutely agree with you re Spain, St.Pedro would have been my top 5 this year. I struggle a little with Ukraine, a fabulous song but the reverence of Mother Theresa, with the accusations of cruelty against her, really sits uncomfortably with me. Sweden could well do higher, generic but it's one I do replay again and again. Previous non-winners? Give me Lithuania every day, Sorry, but Croatia and Netherlands just give me the Diggy-loo Diggy-ley vibes that make everyone I ever try to convert to being interested in ESC - friends work colleagues etc - just laugh in my face
Here's my top 10 list after first semi-final: 1. Estonia 🇪🇪 and Norway 🇳🇴 2. Ireland 🇮🇪 (and Australia 🇦🇺 and Azerbaijan 🇦🇿) 3. France 🇫🇷 and Portugal 🇵🇹 4. Spain 🇪🇸 and Ukraine 🇺🇦 5. Belgium 🇧🇪 and UK 🇬🇧 6. Slovenia 🇸🇮 7. Czechia 🇨🇿 8. Germany 🇩🇪 9. Switzerland 🇨🇭 10. Lithuania 🇱🇹 and Croatia 🇭🇷 I left Finland out of the list since I can't vote for them, but I still wish success to our own duo, who never fail to spread joy 😍
My rankings may shift about a bit, but they hardly ever massively change. I'm quite loyal to the songs I love, even if the staging isn't quite giving what I want it to give. 1. Norway 2. Italy 3. Slovenia 4. Lithuania 5. Portugal 6. Serbia 7. Ukraine 8. Armenia 9. Greece 10. Estonia 11. Belgium 12. Netherlands 13. Switzerland 14. Malta 15. Sweden 16. Croatia 17. Spain 18. France 19. Czechia 20. Finland
The one time you don't have Ukraine in your top 10 it's my number 3 this is my favourite Ukrainian song since 2018 by far also after rehearsals malta has shot up my rankings
We can agree that any of the potential winners would be a well deserved one Here is my Top 20 from Finland 1. 🇷🇸 Serbia 2. 🇺🇦 Ukraine 3. 🇧🇪 Belgium 4. 🇭🇷 Croatia 5. 🇨🇭 Switzerland 6. 🇮🇹 Italy 7. 🇪🇪 Estonia 8. 🇳🇴 Norway 9. 🇵🇱 Poland 10. 🇬🇧 United Kingdom 11. 🇱🇹 Lithuania 12. 🇵🇹 Portugal 13. 🇬🇪 Georgia 14. 🇳🇱 Netherlands 15. 🇦🇿 Azerbaijan 16. 🇦🇹 Austria 17. 🇸🇲 San Marino 18. 🇮🇪 Ireland 19. 🇱🇺 Luxembourg 20. 🇦🇲 Armenia
"If your song wasn't in my top 20, I promise it was 21st" 💀
He didn't provide puppies OR grass, so i'm gonna be angry!!!
Oh, eh, i rather like that list...
Maybe Malta out & UK lower...
That's where Nutsa probably is.
18:25 "Lithuania having some problems climaxing" lol Tom phrasing!! 😅
but appreciate the love for 🇸🇮 Raiven -- really love the darker, more interpretive performances and would love them to qualify!
Join the club Lithuania 😂

That moment broke me! lol If you've ever watched the anime Hetalia, the character version of Lithuania came to mind and I had to pause because I couldn't stop laughing.
Riva is forever a Croatian win. Samo neka je za pleeeees...
I love that he said that :D
Raiven is awesome, so gorgeous and talented.
Croatia ftw :)
"Lithuania has a problem climaxing" Ironically Vilnius had a tourist campaign called the G-Spot of Europe
It's funny this year as I've been watching people's top lists I have never been annoyed lol There is so much quality this year that it can be completely different and I can be "yup I can see that"
But just happy to see Croatia and Switzerland so high. My personal top 2!
Malta is so underrated, finally someone who gives it some love
People seriously need to grow up when it comes to hating on peoples musical preferences 😂 It's just someone's personal list. It doesnt mean that the song is going to flop! They can always bump their favourite song up their own list! I do enjoy seeing everyones lists.
Will share my top 20 a little later as I'm still at work. I noticed the notification and had to jump on! 😊
I know! It's so silly how people need to grump at others for having a different taste in music. If you don't like other people's ranking videos then make your own. That's what I did and it's been a lot of fun 🙂

Good luck 🍀 to you with your prediction… but I guess it’s your personal taste of music 🎶 what a taste …compering to others 😀.
I totally agree on Bambie. It's well down my top 20 but this is the start of something great for Ireland.
I agree as well. I don't particularly like the goth esthetic, but I love that they're trying something different, and it seems like this time it's an artist that actually wants to be there and who has a clear vision about what she wants.

Really great video, as usual Tom. Thank you so much for your nice words for Croatia🇭🇷. Yes, hype is really big in Croatia and for the first time ever we're gonna have live watching of the ESC final in Zagreb. And don't worry, we won't be upset because Croatia🇭🇷 is "only" 3rd on your list😂😂😂. Different people have different tastes. For example, the song you put 10th (Norway🇳🇴) is my personal No1. And I'm so happy because of your Ireland and Bambie which I also like (in my top 10). They absolutely nailed in the rehearsals and deserve a final this year.
I love this year's ESC because there isn't a single song I find terrible - there aren't even any so-bad-it's-good songs, either. Plenty of great songs I'll come back to for casual listening, perhaps a few songs I don't care that much about, but overall an amazingly high level of quality that makes this ESC year one to remember.

Regarding San Marino: I like the song, but I have to admit that part of my appreciation for it comes from having watched (too too much) of San Marino's selection and the journey THAT was.
if ireland is your number 1 now, its going to be your SUPER nunber 1 once you see the show
@@ESCTom I fully expect to be blown away. Bambie was my favorite before Eurosong and then just knocked me out at the live show. And every step of the way, they have been nailing it, all while being true to themself. It's been a GREAT Eurovision run, and I cannot wait for tomorrow night.
Thanks for all the informative video's again this year Tom! Can't wait for it to begin!
JAAAA NEDERLANDJEEEE KOMAAN!
Great taste.
The Irishman underrates Ireland. It's my #4. BTW, Maria Magdalena was 1998.
It was 1999 in Jerusalem
@@johndegraaffbales4319 Oh, you are right!

Fantastic video, you’re the best! 🎉❤
I agree with you that the Irish entry might not be the one I listen that much to, but what a stage show! Ireland is now in my top 10, which I never thought - also hoping for Joost to win it, despite having Olly as my favorite.
TOM judging from today's jury show maybe you should prepare yourself for the next competition being closer than you think 👀👀 Because I saw Bambie and immediately though "this is a winner's performance" and I know I'm not alone. I CHOOSE TO BELIEVE
My 40/1 is looking good.
EuroPapa ❤ you! 🇪🇺 🕺 🇳🇱 ⚡️
Greetings from the group of weird kids (ha ha). It seems to me that the analysis supporting your top 20 is pretty accurate (as always!). Congrats!
Tom.My top20 is soooo different, only Belgium has the same spot. But I truly appreciate your deep through analyze. This is Eurovision 🎉❤🎉
Really sad Ukraine isn't higher on your list (but not mad! LOL!). Wish Ireland could be higher, but I'm just happy they've gone up as much as they have over the course of the season! Other than that I like your top 4 or 5, though Netherlands wouldn't be my top - I have a friend who moved there years ago now and this is the first year she's really into it, so if he won I'd consider it a win! LOL! I love Nemo, that would be wonderful if they won!
Ireland WILL finish in the top 10 if not better.
I guessed your top 3 ;) Quite a similar list to mine!
I’m happy Nemo is your 2nd favourite song. Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭
Tom, I love you and your content and passion and analysis. Please clean your lens. :*
I would be happy with any of your top 5 win this year. However I agree with you that Croatia winning would have a special meaning for that country and It would be great to see the contest move to that part of Europe
Love how every year I have the most similar predictions as you, as far as I am concerned Joost and Nemo should fight for the first place
Joost for the win 🧡🇳🇱
17:10-17:13 So cute! 8 of my top 10 are in your list so I am happy😊😊
Switzerland is so outstanding lets vote for them europe ❤❤❤
Yes. Although I don’t actually live in Europe
@@AW-EV-and-FTM so do yoj vote for nemo in the final
@@LaurinNagelin without a doubt I will vote through the rest of the world vote. Bring Switzerland victory!!!
12 points to the netherlands :))
I appreciate all the singers! They are professionals for sure and we never know what will happen there! Nutsa 🇬🇪🇪🇺🇬🇪 should be somewhere between 1 to 10. For me she is a winner!
'Lithaunia have a problem with climaxing' 😂😂
No judgement to lithuania!
I agree. I am from Sweden and 15 seems about right this year. The sad part is that I seen other talents from the twins that way surpass the genre they are in and do not seem to fit them. Check Marcus and martinus version of wicked games. Or the accustic version of Unforgetable.
I like Ukraine more than you do. But my winner is either Nemor or Joost.
12 points for joost!!!!❤
Love it, good top 20! Can I just say, loving the WRU top (from a Welshie)
its simple, i see tom uploaded. i click
I knew we’d have a very similar list, but Bambie is my current number 3!
Can we just appreciate Tom's sincere sympathy with the erectile dysfunction of the entire Baltic nation in Lithuania?
> "Lithuania has a problem climaxing"
I have the same top 4 (although in a slightly different order!) ❤
You have such a good taste! 😍
What a strong year, that I can't even be mad my no. 1 is only your no. 10!
Good stuff! I don't agree 100% with everything here, but this is a completely sensible list... except for Dizzy 😬
It’s so hard to pick a song you want to win because so many are deserving. If it is purely based on the song, Estonia is top for me. It’s super infectious ❤ But tell me, when will you react to some more of the rehearsals? I’m very intrigued to know what you think of the UK 😉
You've got a "Like" for the "21-st" place... Smooth operator 😁👍
Great Top 20 Tom. So glad to see Malta in there - OMG, so underrated, and absolutely agree with you re Spain, St.Pedro would have been my top 5 this year. I struggle a little with Ukraine, a fabulous song but the reverence of Mother Theresa, with the accusations of cruelty against her, really sits uncomfortably with me. Sweden could well do higher, generic but it's one I do replay again and again. Previous non-winners? Give me Lithuania every day, Sorry, but Croatia and Netherlands just give me the Diggy-loo Diggy-ley vibes that make everyone I ever try to convert to being interested in ESC - friends work colleagues etc - just laugh in my face

1. Estonia 🇪🇪 and Norway 🇳🇴
2. Ireland 🇮🇪 (and Australia 🇦🇺 and Azerbaijan 🇦🇿)

I left Finland out of the list since I can't vote for them, but I still wish success to our own duo, who never fail to spread joy 😍
Europapa ❤

Netherlands is my number 31 and Switzerland is my 34! I won't dislike the video though ;-P
