[juuret]

*aggressively irons on stage*

[sztansescheadache]

super saturday manifestations!!!!!!!

ukraine: i’ll be happy with either masha of fiinka winning, vidbir unfortunately isn’t the strongest this year imo

latvia: just let me be delusional till the end thinking tepat has a chance…….. (but honestly anyone expect for markus riva and emilija would be good)

finland: erika vikman. no one else. ICH KONME🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

malta: idk honestly the serving kant song is funny but i’d like the pirate esque "LalaRataTakeke LalaRataKabum" more

[musicalelo]

È la tomba dell'amore Ce l'ha detto anche il dottore Porta un chilo di gelato E poi nel dubbio porta un fiore E almeno un kiss, please

CUORICINI - Coma Cose

[thestarlitnights]

listening isn't enough, i need the acoustic + proper version of kiss kiss goodbye by adonxs injected in my veins

[under-the-ladder]

Shiiit I probably won't be able to watch UMK this year 😭😭😭

[lotlvision]

Baryak - Dva Srca

This is another song where the popularity online is surprising me. Perhaps because I like something that feels special when it comes to Eurovision, perhaps because in my first listen notes I said this felt like a crossover between Coldplay and Imagine Dragons at parts.

It's not bad, that's for sure, but there are much more creative and bespoke songs out there. This is definitely growing on me after my first listen, but it doesn't really fit my mental idea of a Eurovision song.

I'm going to give it a 6.5/10, and I think I'm happy enough with that.

Early ESC 2025 predictions

Anyways, here's what kind of bullshittery I'm expecting next year.

🇧🇬 Bulgaria: Teases a return on social media. They announce their non-participation a day later.

🇲🇨 Monaco: Someone famous from there who is not a singer announces they'll compete if Monaco enters. They are swiftly shot down by TV Monaco.

🇽🇰 Kosovo's request for an invite is ignored.

🇱🇮 Lichtenstein: Someone at 1FLTV breathes the word "Eurovision", setting the news sites alight. They do not compete.

🇺🇦 Ukraine: Jury favourite wins Vidbir. They're soon disqualified after breaking some immigration law the Ukrainian government pulled out of its ass and the televote favourite gets sent instead.

🇸🇪 Sweden: Same old, same old, clean polished pop song nobody aside from Swedish people, the ESC jury and normie televoters like. 6th place.

🇧🇪 Belgium: Goes back to an NF. Fan favourite entry (see: something with nothing noteworthy about it other than being in French) doesn't get sent. Cue butthurt.

🇫🇷 France: Does what they did last year and pulls a random bestselling artist out of a hat. Top 10 finish.

🇮🇹 Italy: Usual schtick, sends something which does gangbusters on Spotify and Apple but is ultimately held back by crappy staging and weak live vocals. Comes top 10 regardless.

🇲🇩 Moldova: It's their turn to be the next Käärijä or Baby Lasagna. Top 3 finish.

🇵🇹 Portugal: Sends a breathy-voiced Billie Eilish wannabe with a murky blue stage. Does surprisingly well.

🇮🇪 Ireland: Cruachan finally get into the Late Late NF Special. They lose out to some Voice UK reject and a song written by a music student from London with an Irish surname. The fandom is not pleased.

🇸🇲 San Marino: Holds another dismally long NF full of the usual rejects from other, more popular, NFs. Doesn't qualify.

🇬🇷 Greece: Hires a stable full of Melfest regulars to write a song for some bi-national diaspora born and raised anywhere in the world but Greece to perform.

🇨🇾 Cyprus: See above, just replace the bi-national with "some Australian with Greek heritage".

🇬🇧 United Kingdom: All the good artists got scared off again so we're back to one hit wonders from 20 years ago and/or absolute nobodies destined for the right side of the scoreboard. British tabloids have a field day.
