Since semi-final 1 of Eurovision is in 4 days, I decided to rank all of this year's songs based on how much I like them.

Netherlands 馃嚦馃嚤
I honestly expected this to end up much higher in my rankings, since this is generally the type of music I gravitate toward. However, it hasn't impacted me as much as I originally anticipated, likely because I really don't like the repetitive "oooooh aaaaaah" and wish it was filled with something else. Despite this, this song is still definitely my type of music and I just always love listening to this. S10 is great and I love that this is in Dutch and it's just such a high high quality song.

Czech Republic 馃嚚馃嚳
Fun fact, Czech Republic was my highest ranked country of the 2010s by average ranking, even though I always consider Ukraine my favorite country. I preface with this because I always love rooting for the Czech Republic, and have been quite underwhelmed by them the past two editions. So, when I heard this BANGER I was so happy that the Czech Republic will once again be serving quality. This is just so much fun and so reminiscent of music from like five years ago, but still manages to stay fresh and current. The stage show looks great too so I'm just so excited to root on the Czechs again!!

Armenia 馃嚘馃嚥
The way I'm also embarrassed to have this song this high, but I just love it so much. There's such an endearing quality about it that just resonates with me. This also sounds extremely American which may be why I gravitate toward it. But this is just a sweet song that it also catchy and just so iconic to me. Really hope to see Armenia back in the final with this track :)
