Since Eurovision 2023 is in less than 48 hours, I decided to rank all of this year's songs based on how much I like them.

Azerbaijan 馃嚘馃嚳
YESSSSSSS!!!! Literally obsessed with TuralTuranX and this song so much they deserve the whole world. I initially felt absolutely nothing toward this song, but over time I started connecting and vibing with it more and more for it to currently be my most listened to song to the run up to the contest <3 There is just something so lovely about this package that has won me over so much, and I think that's in part because TuralTuranX wrote the song themselves and its such a change of pace for Azerbaijan that I can't help but root for them. I need this in the final so so so bad. TuralTuranX will always be famous

France 馃嚝馃嚪
This song has recently shot up so much in my rankings, La Zarra is just hitting so hard right now. The way this song melds together traditional French sounding music with a fresh disco beat is honestly genius and it just sounds so so good. This song also pops so much live from what we've seen and I can't wait for La Zarra to absolutely obliterate the competition. Legend!!!

Denmark 馃嚛馃嚢
I have made it my entire personality that I have not liked a singular Danish Eurovision entry ever (besides 2020 </3 justice for Ben & Tan) but I guess the tides have turned this year. And the funny part is that this is typically a song I would not gravitate toward. But something about this entire package just clicked in my brain and I cannot stop playing this banger. This is my second most played song of the entire Eurovision song because it's just endlessly catchy. Reiley may not have the best live vocals which does bring this down a bit, but I am willing to overlook that for finally giving me a good Danish entry.

Sweden 馃嚫馃嚜
What a full circle moment for me. Loreen is the artist who helped me discover Eurovision 11 (yikes) years ago, and to see her as a winner contender and with this great of a package yet again has been such a treat. While I haven't listened to the studio cut of this as much as the rest of my top 10, Loreen truly comes alive performing live. She just sells this song so well with the most captivating and stunning staging that I can't help but root her on yet again. Will be intrigued to see if she comes out on top again!! She will always be a legend though!!

**also I did need to edit this because for some reason my brain jumped over Denmark in my rankings, which I guess checks out because they're never this high for me**
Rest of the rankings coming tomorrow hopefully!!! And potentially a semi final 1 prediction, we shall see :)
