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 :)

Italy 馃嚠馃嚬
I can't help the fact that I always gravitate toward Italian music, there's just something about it all that I love. However, this song is personally one of Italy's weakest recently and a downgrade from Soldi. That's not really a bad thing, since Italy always comes with such a high standard. This is just a classy song and I love that it's a duet with two male singers, which I haven't really seen before. The vocal harmonies are great and this song does a great job at entrancing the viewer. I don't really think Italy is going to do back to back wins, but they should still be very proud of their entry. Forza italia :)

France 馃嚝馃嚪
BANGER!!! Such a shift for France, yet it works so well. Love that they're singing in a Celtic language that very little have ever been exposed to. On top of that, the song has so much energy, is so cool and just so catchy. Just really love all the elements at play here, from Alvan and Ahez complementing each other phenomenally to the iconic dancer. Just love this and hope France does great again.

Lithuania 馃嚤馃嚬
Monika Liu LEGEND!!! Absolutely love the vibes of this song. The sultriness and jazziness of this song are unmatched and unheard of in Eurovision before. Plus, the fact that she's singing in Lithuanian??? A serve. This is just so iconic, technically great and top tier. If Lithuania doesn't qualify I will be rioting, because this is their best entrant in a while.

Croatia 馃嚟馃嚪
First off, as a Taylor Swift fan, this does NOT send like a Taylor Swift song. Maybe like a backtrack from like a decade ago, but all of the comparisons to Ms. Swift make absolutely no sense to me. Regardless, I still really like this. I'm always a sucker for a slow tempo pop song and Mia is serving that up. This is definitely going nowhere in Eurovision, which I'm devastated by because Croatia deserves so much better, but it's a really quality song and I just always love listening to it.

Slovenia 馃嚫馃嚠
July Jones and LUMA... you will ALWAYS be famous!!! With that out of the way, it has taken me a while to warm up to this song, especially since it did not deserve to win the illustrious EMA. But when I repress that thought, I do really really like this. Slovene is a top tier language and I love anything that sounds vintage. Plus, the fact that the band is all friends from high school is such a cute backstory and I can't help by root them on, especially since the song is a banger. Really hoping this has a chance to squeak through next week, because it's just a breath of fresh air in the lineup.

United Kingdom 馃嚞馃嚙
The UK finally sending something contemporary and that sounds British, we honestly love to see it!! This is just a really solid pop track that is elevated by some of the best vocals of this year, and probably that the UK has ever sent. I just really like this and how high quality it sounds, especially in comparison to the past UK tracks. Just a breath of fresh air and I really hope Sam aids in turning the tide for the UK in the contest.

San Marino 馃嚫馃嚥
I've always been a fan of this song. As someone who randomly selects Sanremo songs to listen to, I haven't heard Achille's other songs, but I do quite like this. The song just has a cool demeanor to it and I always enjoy listening to it. Also, that performance clip from today did a number on me. Achille is just a star and I really hope he can keep San Marino's qualification streak in tact.

Iceland 馃嚠馃嚫
The large gap I have been talking about has arrived. From this point on I really really like all of these songs and am hoping for all of their equal success. My top 21 has literally all stayed within this space for the whole season too, so I really hope all these legends thrive.
Onto Iceland. I'm actually sad to have them this low as I really really really like this song and wish I could place it higher. I just really don't listen to it as much as the others, and that could be because it was ERASED from Apple Music (alongside Turn This Around... A CRIME) until literally yesterday, but that's on the broadcaster. The vibes of this song are absolutely immaculate and I love how they are singing in Icelandic, how great the staging is, and just how iconic this all is. This could definitely rise after the live shows, but for now they end here due to my lack of listening.

Denmark 馃嚛馃嚢
Halfway done!! I usually expect absolutely nothing from the Danes. Denmark is notoriously one of my least favorite Eurovision countries because they never really do anything interesting or fun. However, I actually quite enjoy their entry this year. I always love a good girl group moment, and Reddi's vibes are unmatched by everyone else. This is just so much fun and I always enjoy jamming out to it. Let's hope this makes Denmark start sending songs I actually like for once.

North Macedonia 馃嚥馃嚢
We are now down to all the songs that would make up my dream final!! Not entirely sure how this song got this high, because I don't find it particularly great. Probably because this is just easy listening and I can just throw it on and enjoy it. Obviously nothing fantastic occurs during the song, but it is perfectly decent.

Malta 馃嚥馃嚬
I think this falls in a similar vein to North Macedonia, where I can listen to the song but am not necessarily drawn to it. This is also probably the most generic song of the year?? Which I sometimes fall down their generic trap, but it has not worked this time!! This is also massively disappointing considering Emma does have a good discography, but this is just so middling. Also, justice for Out of Sight, at least that song had some authenticity to it.

Estonia 馃嚜馃嚜
Another song that I feel like I've heard before in the US. As a result, I don't really care much for it. Doesn't mean it's a bad song, because it's pretty decent, but it's just not all that exciting for me. At least we know Stefan is a good performance and he really helps sell this song.

Switzerland 馃嚚馃嚟
This is sweet!! I really like the melody of this song and its subtleties and progression. The lyrics are not giving what Mr. Bear thought they were giving though, as I find them quite dumb. But perhaps that's just I. Still, as I said, this is sweet and I do enjoy this. Don't need it to progress to the finals though, but wouldn't be upset if it did.

Romania 馃嚪馃嚧
Perfectly fine. I think its issue is it gets lost amongst the other pop bops of the year, as it's just not at the same production levels as its competition. For what it's worth, it is still fun and enjoyable though. Just never have any reason to listen to this or like it more.

Poland 馃嚨馃嚤
Okay... can someone PLEASE tell me what all of you are hearing in this song?? Legend Alesia Michelle said once that she thinks that this style of song is fresh in Europe but sounds dated to Americans, so if anyone could enlighten me that'd be great?? Because I know Ochman was born and raised in the US, so if he honestly took an old style of American music and made it sound new to Europeans, that is iconic. However, as an American, this does sound extremely derivative and generic. I have heard countless songs like this and do not think it has anything interesting or that wowing about it in the slightest. It's perfectly fine and I shall leave that there. Those who think this could win... a thought!!
