(Was kinda waiting for him to be lifted into the sky though). 2/10 Total: 4.5/20 25 Russia – Russian Woman by Manizha View this video on YouTube youtube.com Sam: I guess I can see some people vibing with this, but it’s not for me. 2/10 Jeff: PLEASE TELL ME SHE'S ON A HOVERBOARD. I was kind of hoping there would be more Russian Doll reveals underneath that, but I guess this isn’t actually Drag race. 3/10 Total: 5/20 24 Belgium – The Wrong Place by Hooverphonic View this video on YouTube youtube.com Sam: I think of this song as Lana Del Rey meets Keane. Make of that what you will. 4/10 Jeff: Girl, I know all about waking up and wanting to forget about last night. #relatable 2/10 Total: 6/20 23 Albania – Karma by Anxhela Peristeri View this video on YouTube youtube.com Sam: This is one of those dramatic, Conchita-style Eurovision ballads that I don’t really care about. Which means it will probably win. 2/10 Jeff: You can’t have a dance break and then not dance. 4/10 Total: 6/20 22 The Netherlands – Birth Of A New Age by Jeangu Macrooy View this video on YouTube youtube.com Sam: I couldn’t stop thinking about Elbow during this song. It’s a great message and it’s pleasant enough, but it doesn’t really go anywhere. 5/10 Jeff: I feel really bad saying this, but I kind of wanted this song to go further? It started strong, but I needed it to kick up a notch. Anyone else? 3/10 Total: 8/20 21 Italy – Zitti E Buoni by Måneskin View this video on YouTube youtube.com Sam: I love the rock vocals and the heavy guitars. This song will either end up in the background of a scene in a teen drama, or on a car ad – either way, I’ll be bopping along. 7/10 Jeff: I mean, it's no Soldi! I'm not the biggest fan of rock in general, so maybe not best for me to judge. 2/10 Total: 9/20 20 Portugal – Love Is On My Side by The Black Mamba View this video on YouTube youtube.com Sam: There’s something intensely familiar about this song – it kind of sounds like if Macy Gray and early Adele fused their sound to sing “Handbags and Gladrags”. Not bad at all... But a winner? I’m not so sure. 7.5/10 Jeff: This sounds like a song you'd play at the end of the night to get people out of the bar. 2/10 Total: 9.5/20 19 Bulgaria – Growing Up Is Getting Old by VICTORIA View this video on YouTube youtube.com Sam: Not bad but any means, but certainly not a floor-filler. I think I read she loves Billie Eilish, which you TOTALLY get from the song. It’s cute! 5.5/10 Jeff: A great Billie Eilish inspired tune, but a tad boring for Eurovision. 4/10 Total: 9.5/20 18 Spain – Voy A Quedarme by Blas Cantó View this video on YouTube youtube.com Sam: A really nice track with a kind of ‘90s Disney movie credits song vibe. I wish I knew what he was singing about because he sounds so heartfelt! 5/10 Jeff: BRB, imagining this being the first dance song at out wedding because he’s so fittttttt! 5/10 Total: 10/20 17 Lithuania – Discoteque by The Roop View this video on YouTube youtube.com Sam: Someone call the Pet Shop Boys, cos these guys stole their sound! Can’t lie though, this has something to it! 7/10 Jeff: This song has everything you’d expect for me to love, but I kinda find the chorus annoying. Misses the mark ever so slightly for me (sorry!) 4/10 Total: 11/20 16 Germany – I Don t Feel Hate by Jendrik View this video on YouTube youtube.com Sam: This has a chaotic Jedward energy to it but I don’t hate it! There’s a mix of jaunty talk-singing with era-blending instruments. You will probably get this stuck in your head. 6.5/10 Jeff: COLOUR, A GLITTER UKULELE, DANCING FINGERS. Tell me you’re a Eurovision Entry without telling me you're a Eurovision entry. 5/10 Total: 11.5/20 15 Malta – Je Me Casse by Destiny View this video on YouTube youtube.com Sam: Huge Lizzo vibes to the track – it’s decent, but maybe a little forgettable. 5/10 Jeff: THIS. IS. WHAT. I'M. TALKING. ABOUT. The dance break and the little hand movements – I can already see the moves at G-A-Y. 7/10 Total: 12/20 14 UK – Embers by James Newman View this video on YouTube youtube.com Sam: I gotta say, I like it. It’s probably one of the better entries we’ve had in recent years. It has major summer vibes and is hella catchy – can’t wait to hear it on Love Island this year! Should’ve been the United Kingdolls though. 6.5/10 Jeff: This song screams UK Top 40, but doesn’t give me Eurovision. Not a bad entry, but not a winner by any means. 6/10 Total: 12.5/20 13 Sweden – Voices by Tusse View this video on YouTube youtube.com Sam: Sweden has some pretty lofty Eurovision alumni – think ABBA, Loreen! I think this could be their year again. This song is super anthemic and catchy. Not my thing personally, but I’d still put my money on these guys winning. 6/10 Jeff: Now THIS has what I was looking for in the Netherlands song. 7/10 Total: 13/20 12 France – Voilà by Barbara Pravi View this video on YouTube youtube.com Sam: Nicely dramatic with some feisty vocals. I could totally see a Marion Cotillard character being stalked down a crowded street by her jealous husband to this song. Unfortunately, nothing will ever surpass "Moustache" by Twin Twin for me. 6.5/10 Jeff: Her voice is just stunning. I have no idea what she’s singing about, but I can feel all of her emotion. 7/10 Total: 13.5/20 11 Moldova – SUGAR by Natalia Gordienko View this video on YouTube youtube.com Sam: The Hilary Duff stan in me can’t get enough of this one. I'm wondering if she’ll be able to hold that note at the end on the night… 7/10 Jeff: I’m absolutely into it, but I hope she brings more oomph to the final. 7/10 Total: 14/20 10 San Marino – Adrenalina by Senhit View this video on YouTube youtube.com Sam: I’m for this JLo-esque floor-filler with a catchy beat. Bizarrely enough, Flo Rida will also appear to rap on the song – what a twist! 6/10 Jeff: I don’t understand how Flo Rida is allowed to be on this? And why others don’t do the same? The song gets a 9/10, but I’m deducting a point because this feels like cheating. 8/10 Total: 14/20 9 Ukraine – Shum by Go_A View this video on YouTube youtube.com Sam: I was all over this at the start – it was set to be my favourite but I didn’t like the whistle-y chorus. Still, if you like “dark synth” as much as me, you’ll probably enjoy this. 8.5/10 Jeff: I just wish she had as much energy as her dancers. 6/10 Total: 14.5/20 8 Iceland – 10 Years by Daði og Gagnamagnið View this video on YouTube youtube.com Sam: Iceland knew what they were doing bringing these guys back. This song is okay, but it’s no “Think About Things”. They should’ve brought back Hatari instead. 6.5/10 Jeff: I LOVE THEM SO MUCH. 8/10 Total: 14.5/20 7 Serbia – Loco Loco by Hurricane View this video on YouTube youtube.com Sam: Okay Serbia, I see we’re not holding back this year! I did not mind this dance-y anthem at all. I couldn’t sing it back to you now, but I would definitely throw some shapes if it came on. 6/10 Jeff: And the gays go wild! The hair dancing, the lip filler, the sex appeal. Yes, Yes, Yes, Serbia! 8.5/10 Total: 14.5/20 6 Cyprus – El Diablo by Elena Tsagrinou View this video on YouTube youtube.com Sam: This kinda feels like if a slightly off her game Gaga made a song for Eurovision. And that’s not strictly shade, because everything Lady Gaga makes is amazing! 6/10 Jeff: Yesss back bend! El Diablo works hard, but Cyprus works harder. Fire Song! 9/10 Total: 15/20 5 Greece – Last Dance by Stefania View this video on YouTube youtube.com Sam: I kind of love this – it’s a little like a more generic Dua album track, but I’m 100% here for it. 7.5/10 Jeff: Dua Lipa is definitely annoyed this isn’t her song. Just wish the singer could dance a bit better tbh. 8/10 Total: 15.5/20 4 Switzerland – Tout l Univers by Gjon s Tears View this video on YouTube youtube.com Sam: This is a very beautiful song, I can’t deny it. It reminds me of "Silent Storm" by Carl Espen from a few years back. It’s slow, but it caters to my penchant for Sigur Rós. 8.5/10 Jeff: I’m not usually into ballad entries at Eurovision, but if you’re going to sing one, this is how you do it. 8/10 Total: 16.5/20 3 Azerbaijan – Mata Hari by Efendi View this video on YouTube youtube.com Sam: It’s about time somebody wrote a tribute to Mata Hari. You have no idea how much I've been singing “Mata Harrriiiii” this week. A certified banger. 9/10 Jeff: The dance breaks, the fire – just, yes! This song has been stuck in my head for days now. 8/10 Total: 17/20 2 Finland – Dark Side by Blind Channel View this video on YouTube youtube.com Sam: I’m sorry, but this is my lowkey favourite of the competition. It’s total emo-pop fodder, à la Linkin Park and Bring Me The Horizon and I bloody love it! 9/10 Jeff: I came into this night judging this song and hating it, and yet I was BLOWN away. Like, for an angry emo rock song, I love it??? Also them holding a card to a camera that said "Play Ya Ya Ding Dong" was iconic. 8.5/10 Total: 17.5/20 1 Israel – Set Me Free by Eden Alene View this video on YouTube youtube.com Sam: This is what I’m talking about! This track is a bop and and this girl can saaaang. 9/10 Jeff: I already know this will be on my Top Spotify songs of the year.
