My ESC 2025 ranking - 29th to 20th
29. POLAND I know it's a fan favourite, but it didn't become an earworm for me, sorry.
28. GERMANY My low rating is mostly based on the performance I saw at Chefsache ESC: senseless, weird staging and subpar vocals (but she was sick, so I hope she will improve from here to May).
27. DENMARK Many say that this year Denmark will break the streak of NQ. but I don't understand how they can do it with this song. And it's another one with a staging to burn and redo from the foundations, it has nothing to do with the meaning of the song.
26. BELGIUM When it came out I liked it, but over time it has gradually lost its charm. Also I think that at the end he shouts too much.
25. AZERBAIJAN It sounds like other songs already heard, there is no wow effect, but it’s catchy and cute. Good luck, Mamagama.
24. MONTENEGRO Instead this song has gradually grown in my preferences. If you bring a dark and dramatic ballad, you have to put pathos and resolution, and that’s exactly what Nina Žižić does.
23. PORTUGAL I don't understand why people think this song is DOA. Maybe it isn’t the best that the Festival da Canção had to offer this year, but it’s a song that reflects Portuguese culture. Eurovision is also this: bringing something from your country to the competition.
22. LUXEMBOURG A song that, beyond the cheerful and light melody, has a double meaning in the lyrics and a reference to the 1965 Luxembourg song. It’s a hymn to taking ownership of one's own spaces and not being manipulated by others like a puppet.
21. IRELAND Definitely a step back from Bambie Thug. I don't mind the song, but I would see it more suitable as an anime opening than as a contest entry.
20. NORWAY Look, I know it's a favourite, but in my opinion this song is banal and not exceptional.
