Hello all :) Yet again, I am back with my annual Eurovision rankings, just because I like discussing these songs with people and this is essentially the only outlet I get to do that!! I've had a very busy semester (as per usual) hence why these rankings are coming late yet again, but better late than never!!
This also marks my 10 year anniversary of when I discovered Eurovision which is wild to think about, as my cousin played Euphoria to me in summer 2012, which then caused me to investigate and fall down the Eurovision hole later that year. So, this edition is quite monumental to me, so lets hope this year is a great one - despite the staging issue...
Also, for a little introduction for those that don't know me, my name is Peyton and I am American!! So take with that what you shall :)
I'm gonna try and get through 9 songs a day for the next four days, then do my top four separately, and then make predictions and reactions to the semis :) Also, may be making these reviews slightly shorter than usual because of the lack of time, but also, we all know I write too much.
Now, please remember that these are *my* personal rankings and we all have different tastes, which is what makes Eurovision so much fun!! Plus, this year is quite strong, so just because I have a song low doesn't mean I dislike it!! Anyways, now to start...
40th goes to...

Bulgaria 馃嚙馃嚞
Well... from my first place two years in a row to my absolute last place. Really don't know what to say about this one that hasn't already been said. It's just extremely dated, uninteresting, and is so utterly bland. Don't even know if I've ever listened to the entirety of this because it's just so uninspired. Let's hope this was just a reset year for Bulgaria...
39th goes to...

Israel 馃嚠馃嚤
This honestly may be my least favorite by the end of Eurovision season. I absolutely cannot stand any part of this song. I also could not stomach listening to the entirety of the revamp and had to listen on 2x speed just to get it over with. Something about this song and Michael just irk me so much and I just cannot stand this.
38th goes to...

Finland 馃嚝馃嚠
Someone please tell Finland to stop sending rock entries, they are not giving what they think they are giving.
Someone please tell Finland to not host one of the best national selections with some of the most diverse songs just to select the absolute worst choice.
Someone please tell Finland to not select their contestant based off their supposed fame level from 10+ years ago instead of current musical merit.
Someone please tell Finland not to sing in English if they are going to include some of the worst lyrics I have ever heard in Eurovision ever.
40th - Bulgaria 馃嚙馃嚞
39th - Israel 馃嚠馃嚤
38th - Finland 馃嚝馃嚠
My next rankings should be coming momentarily!!
