Don't be harsh on yourself ,everyone has unique taste,here is my top - 10.Belgium 9.Switzerland 8.Ukraine 7.Azerbaijan 6.Lithuania 5.Norway 4.Sweden 3.San Marino 2.Italy 1.Finland
My top 10, before yesterday evening: 1. Switzerland 2. Romania 3. France 4. Lithuania 5. Netherlands 6. Ireland 7. Bulgaria 8. Israel 9. Sweden 10. Czechia
I love Poland. I live performance was awful but I listened to the studio cut a lot. The middle-8 is pure pop. 1 Serbia (don't laugh) 2 Switzerland 3 San Marino 4 Italy 5 Poland 6 Estonia 7 Romania 8 Australia 9 Finland 10 Ireland/Moldova Huge gap between Finland and Ireland or Moldova. Was obsessed with Maps and Sugar but I overplated both. I was also very disappointed in the staging of Sugar. I was just too safe. I still don't under how San Marino didn't do better. Senhit is such a star. Ukraine was way down below my number 35 and climed inside my top 20 in the years that have passed.
Think my top 10 is changing daily, I had Poland at 15 for a while haha! I think right now ( ignoring knowledge of rehearsals ) I’m at : 1 Romania, 2 France, 3 Italy, 4 Belgium, 5 Australia, 6 Ukraine, 7 Iceland, 8 Lithuania, 9 Switzerland, 10 San Marino. Tho Croatia, Czechia very close to being in there toooo.
🤣🤣🤣 This is why we all love the contest... It is SO subjective..... How can i criticise a Melfest boy when i have Georgia, Portugal and Spain in my top 10. Had Georgia and Portugal from the start. Just love them but Spain has really grown on me. Of all the cheap, fully bangers, Moldova just does it best for me. Pity Natalya is so stiff and wooden....but I still need..."Sugar". But my number 1 is, as it was from the very beginning, Lithuania!! Quality, genuine performers. We all want quality at the ESC and that's why i love The Roop!
@@ESCTom yep And drew 2nd half in the final. Don't rule them out just yet! What a, show last night was.... Devasted for Lesley😪😪 She put everything into the last 18 mths. If anyone deserved to go further, she did. There was 1 qualifier in particular, who's actions i wasn't happy with last night Tom...... we must talk further....🤫🤫🤫
Most people don't actually hate Poland's song they hate him and I thought as a contest that was "inclusive " that they wouldn't care and I'm yet to hear a reason to why we have to dislike him as a person
I think it is because he has ties with the Polish right-winged government. But then again, Eurovision is supposed to be apolitical right? So hating on Rafal because of his social circle, even though his song is very apolitical and he hasn't said anything political at all, makes no sense to me either :'). The song is great imo, very underrated!
@@ej7094 I'm conservative as a brit I'm pro Brexit, do I hate Europeans no I'm right wing and can still love Eurovision it baffles me how fans claim to be "inclusive " only inclusive if it fits their agenda its ridiculous.
There is no reason but general bullying from the Polish public and everybody else acting on rumours and gossip that he "might be a homophobe" A lot of witch hunting this year, I don't like it.
@@bigmass4792 it's compulsory to do an extended military service for boys and girls so maybe this is why. Every single one of them is a soldier, lol. Granted, it's surprising that nobody thought to run away with that particular drama, not knowing the facts.
