Nobody gives a fuck but here's my ESC ranking because some of the takes I've seen on the clock app have been giving me hives.
No hate to the artists, I'm sure they're lovely. And I'm not a hardcore ESC fan, so I don't care about the fandom drama.
15- Israel. Go boy give us nothing 🥰 Also Michele is my grandma's name so that was weird. It's so Israeli (trying to appear soft and nice to the public) it's killing me. Kudos to the absolute legend screaming "stop the genocide" at the top of their lungs during the performance though.
14 - Greece. No. I've always hated this type of songs, and it's not a cat-eared orange man who's gonna change my opinion on the matter. It's giving tiktok brainrot.
13 - Georgia. Genuinely what the fuck was that.
12 - Serbia. It's unassumed pop pretending to be metal and I say this as a pop fan. It tries so hard to be both it ends up being neither, and bad.
11 - Montenegro. Off-key the entire time and the fact that people can't hear it worries me. The performance wasn't bad.
10 - Lithuania. I get the artistic intent and I don't dislike it, but dude what the actual fuck was that singing.
9 - Portugal. I wasn't bad, just forgettable honestly. The singing was okay, the song was okay, but that's about it. It's not ESC material to me.
8 - Sweden. This is where it starts getting pretty good. The singing wasn't bad, nice performance. I'm not the biggest fan of the song.
7 - Moldova. Fun. I liked the energy. Not super memorable in my opinion, but I watched the performance after the others since I missed them live, so that might be why.
6 - Belgium. Her vocals were good. Shame that the performance was a little underwhelming because I'm sure she can do better. The costume looked like it was bothering her. I like the song.
5 - Estonia. I'm soooo here for the rock resurgence in modern pop I need more of this right now. Also Vanilla Ninja is a banger band name.
4 - Croatia. I loveeee this kind of sound so much! It was a breath of fresh air during the evening, I really enjoyed it. The performance looked so good as well.
3 - Poland. Best vocals of the evening of course. I liked the idea of the performance, with the slope, but it was a little underwhelming. The vocal power could've carried a flashier performance.
2 - San Marino. MY SHAYLAAAAAAAA I'm so sad it didn't qualify. It wasn't revolutionary but the energy!!! The smile!!! And it was just generally a really good song. And it had Boy George in it.
1 - Finland. They are THE MOMENT. Everything. The fire, the emotion and intensity of the vocals, the banger violin solo... Just chef's kiss 10/10.
