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.

Serbia 馃嚪馃嚫
THAT'S A LEGEND!!! Konstrakta is truly doing it like no one else in terms of fashion, staging, iconicness and song. I just love how out of left field this is but how it all works so so well. I still don't really understand the translated lyrics to the song, but that doesn't matter because this is just so iconic. Serbia definitely made the right choice in picking this because it stands out so much and is so memorable and catchy. Can't wait to be clapping along with the legend.

Cyprus 馃嚚馃嚲
This is the best Cypriot entry since Fuego and it's not even close. This style of music is exactly what I've been hoping for Greece/Cyprus to send recently, and I'm so happy that Cyprus is hopping on this ethnic style of music. The fusion between ethnic Greek sounds with a modern pop beat as well of the mix between Greek and English is just so so scrumptious. I just love this so much and how catchy and beautiful the track is. Highkey worried for Andromache since Cyprus doesn't have much friends in their semi, so I really hope this shows up because it's so good.

Sweden 馃嚫馃嚜
Melfest is the only national selection I intently follow nowadays, and to see my favorite song win that is so unlike any other song that has ever won Melfest feels so so good!! I love a good ballad and this one is phenomenal. Cornelia just gets it all right. The vulnerability in her voice, the gradual crescendos throughout the song, the unique and memorable staging and the authenticity of the song are just some reasons I love this so much. Sweden (and Melfest in general need to skew their selection to have more authentic songs like this instead of the generic pop they've been doing, because this is top tier and is a winner contender for a reason. Just love everything about it and am so happy to be rooting for Sweden this year.
My next rankings will be coming tomorrow!!! My top 4 shall all have their own blog dedicated to them too :)

Replay was good in theory, but it didn't really do anything new or exciting. Still a great song, but Ela just has the vibes and sound that I've been desiring from Greece/Cyprus that makes it so good for me :)
