It's a channel that mostly contains my ranking of songs from Eurovision. Or tried to go to Eurovision. Or should've went to Eurovision.
Errr...I like to rank stuff. I definitely don't get offended when people call me a ranker. It happens a lot.

Eurovision 2024: My Top 37 (Before Show - 15th March) New: 🇦🇿
I know this is a bit early for me to get this up, but I wanted to go with my first draft and getting it up there for everyone to see. I might come back to this later after a few weeks, possibly after a few revamps, and make changes, but for now, this is how I'm feeling about Eurovision 2024.
Just a reminder, all of my rankings are based solely on the studio cuts of each song. No non-musical reasons or live performances are considered in this ranking.
Really like my top ten this year. Actually, everything down to #15 is really high quality. It starts losing its way a bit after #18. It is a very top-heavy year and the songs at the bottom aren't terrible like last year, but, there are a lot more of them.
I think it's a good year. It really depends on how you measure the quality of the year.

Ah yes. I love Festival Da Canção. Maybe in this entire selection, there's 2-3 entries that I don't care much for, but after that, it's all such good stuff. Please don't take the low placement of a song as a sign that I don't like it. It just means that I prefer something else. The entire lineup is really strong and there aren't many letdowns. As for Eurovision, there's one song that is probabl...

Think it is fairly obvious by now that the Serbian national selection is one of the highlights of the Eurovision season for me. This year is no exception and, arguably, this might be the best lineup they've had since they brought it back in 2018. All of my top ten are pretty fantastic. And, I think my top four are all great contenders to represent Serbia at Eurovision and secure a top 15 placin...

There is a lot going on with Iceland. We still aren't 100% sure that they're competing at Eurovision. My feeling is that decision will be dependent upon them being able to send the artist they want to send. Obviously, these reasons are non-music related and, seriously, I have a lot to say about RÚV's behaviour throughout this Eurovision season... But, this is a music video and let's focus on th...

On the plus side, the stage is amazing and makes every act look better than it has any business looking. Also, good to see them continue with the live band/orchestra as it does make them stand out from the other Scandinavian selections. Having said that, this was not a good song selection. There was no obvious choice that would give Denmark a good chance of qualification at Eurovision and some ...

Great national final from Estonia this time around, and an excellent winner that could do exceptionally well at Eurovision.

I have heard some say that this is the strongest Sanremo lineup of all time. Although, I do agree that this is a good lineup, it's not to that level for me. If anything, I don't think it's even as strong as last year's. There are fewer weak songs, and even though the overall standard is high, I feel like these selection is missing those really top-tier Sanremo entries, the type that you know if...

Hehe your ranking videos are such a rollercoaster. From perfect sense to absolute non-sense and back in a glimpse.

Switzerland 🏆 Overall not the strongest year for me, really liking my top 8, shame that this year was such a mess in terms of organization and some safety choices, but here it is.. what can we do right!?
Are you doing a post show top?
I will definitely at some point, but still not really feeling it after this year. To be honest, today is the first day I've even listened to any of this year's songs since the contest.
London by multkis was the best ❤️🎶🎸🎤
I still really like this one!
We are way too far apart. I guess I have a taste that is called ''a disgrace''. But thank you for putting The Netherlands so low, they deserved the last place in this though. Not a single person in The Netherlands liked this and everyone was glad that it didn't make it, yet people in The Netherlands were mad at people who did like it. Here's my top 5 after 1 year in 2024: 1. Germany (I have become a HUGEEEEE fan of Lord Of The Lost. I listen to their music every month and I have even seen them/met them. This was a breath of fresh air for me, because Germany sends the same stuff every single year.) 2. Australia (Voyager, what a band. They made me realise that Australia knows how to deliver music wise. I absolutely loved this.) 3. Belgium (Gustaph beat them haters. Beating fan favorites in the national final, people saying he wouldn't qualify. Now look at him, 7th place and still going strong. This is such a banger, I love it.) 4. Finland (As much as I love Cha Cha Cha, it can't beat these 3 above. But yes, I am on team Cha Cha Cha. Oh, please check LOTL's cover too.) 5. Moldova (Pasha Parfeni being the only Eurovision veteran who returned with a banger. I have been disappointed in the past, Loreen is no exception. Pasha Parfeni delivered again with another great song, I can't pick between Lautar and this one.)
Love Shine a Light is not in your top 40!? 💀
I actually really don't like it. It might be my least favourite winner of the 90's! 😂
Here's my list 1. La Noia 2. Mon Amour 3. Ulveham 4. Teresa & Maria 5. Before the party is over 6. Hollow 7. Ramonda 8. Hurricane 9. Veronika 10. The Code 11. Liar 12. Europapa 13. Rim Tim Tagi Dim 14. Always on the run 15. Luktelk 16. Jako 17. Grito 18. Zorra 19. Dizzy 20. Zari 21. Doomsday Blue 22. Sand 23. Nendest narkootikumidest ei tea me kull midagi 24. No Rules 25. TiTAN (would be higher if she went with Zemren N'Dore) 26. Firefighter 27.FUnforgettable 28. One Milkali 29. We Will Rave 30. The Tower 31. Fighter 32. Scared Of Heights 33. In The Middle 34. Ozunle Apar 35. Loop 36. Pedestal 37. 11:11
Wow, I like to see your top even we have so much different but your top 10 was actually good too And I kinda interesting to see the result like that actually ^^ , Let's hope the best!
Womp womp when your bottom is my top
I mean We got half of the desired 12 points at least 🤣
That is a nice, positive way of looking at it. I like it. :3
What is your opinion on witcher tarohoro?
I haven't listened to ALL the songs in the Polish internal selection yet, so I don't know if it would've been the best, but I definitely think it's a stronger entry than "The Tower".

Almost feels like I watched my own list of favourites, hah! So many wonderful songs in here!
Thanks so much! I hadn't seen many of your NF favourites yet, and only had Sweden to go off (where we had many differences of opinion), so glad that across the others, we have some of the same ones. ^^
Baby Lasagna❤Marko Super ❤
Yes! Good luck to Croatia and hoping for a good result!
Oh wow, thanks from 🇪🇪.
You sound almost surprised! But, of course, you're more than welcome.

The good thing about this year is even when there's positions you don't agree with, it's not like the songs are actually bad. Like Cyprus, Austria and Sweden are a bit high for me....but it's not crazy to have them up there either. I like your top three a lot. Obviously. ^^
For me ..... Italy, France, United Kingdom, Greece, Cyprus, Australia & Serbia
Those are some strong choices. I'm not really feeling the Cyprus song. Definitely more intrigued by Georgia. But I'm not writing it off. There's the potential for a great live performance there.
really happy to see you appreciate greece, its my winner!!!! serbia 2nd for me, then slovenia, norway n austria round out my top 5 imo its a really really strong year, hopefully not too overshadowed by the sourness of a certain participation, but purely based off the amount of winner-quality entries we have thus far its an incredible show. will have to wait to performances to really narrow it down i think
Greece is the one that's got me thinking the most. It could be anywhere from 3rd to 5th for me. I guess I've just spend more time with Estonia and Croatia for Greece to overtake them just yet, but it's not impossible. I think it's a curious year. There is a lot of bland stuff at the bottom, and there is a lack of quality songs in the low teen's-twenties spot in my ranking, but the top tier is REALLY top tier. Like anything in my top...maybe 11....could be a winner if things go right.
Greece 5th? Thank you so much! I honestly thought you would dislike my country's song because of the messy structure. Also surprised to see Estonia 3rd and France just outside your top 10. Anyway, I agree with almost all your rankings here. Taste for ranking Serbia, Norway & Croatia in top 4 as they are the absolute best this year. Also nice to see Armenia in 9th (not my favorite song, but I like seeing it high in rankings). My only disagreements are Latvia 33rd & Albania 19th. I would rank them the other way around.
I actually really like unconventional song structures if they're still somewhat of a logical music journey and each section is professional and engaging. With Greece, there's a definite progression seen in the ending section compared to what came in the beginning. It's one of the most exciting songs of the year for me. Albania's a weird one for me. I should dislike it as it is such an obvious downgrade after the revamp, but, the melody is still there and, I don't know it sticks with me. Latvia, on the otherhand, became a skip on my playlist rather quickly. It's just too languid.
@kaleproject3495 Well, our song is getting a lot of hate here in Greece. It actually has around 30% dislikes on the official ESC channel. Some people of course criticize our songs every year and claim that we should stop participating completely, because we already have too many problems as a nation and we shouldn't spend our tax money on a circus called Eurovision. That is basically an argument against Eurovision participation that non-fans in every country have of course. Other people take issue with Marina's urban style and claim that the music video is harming our reputation. Furthermore, some feel like the song has many Eastern sounds that are not traditionally Greek. But that is fine with me, as the MV is actually meant to poke fun at our tourist image, and Marina is half Sudanese, so the international sounds are part of her music. That's what she does as an artist. Some (young) people love her, others hate her. Finally, many find the lyrics shallow and poor. Yes, they are not poetic, but that is the kind of lyrics that songs of this style usually have. In other words, the song isn't perfect, but it is our mindset that is problematic. People had negative things to say even in the year when we actually won (2005). Sorry for the rant, but I just cannot put up with my people's attitude against Eurovision every year. This year in particular it has gone too far. I am not the biggest fan of the song myself, but I feel like I should support our entry no matter what, because representing an entire nation at the biggest music event worldwide is a huge responsibility which not everyone can take. I am sure that Marina will make us proud in the end. Regarding the last sentence, we have risen to 7th in the odds and the song already has a lot of traction to foreign fans. I want us to get a top 5 result just to see everyone's change of heart here. We are such hypocrites...
I am surprised that the song doesn't have a warmer reception back home. It not being "traditionally Greek" shouldn't really be that much of an issue considering how few of the recent Greek entries sound even remotely ethnic in any way. The Eastern sounds, particularly in the vocal approach, are what draw me to it and is very familiar to a lot of music I would listen to outside of Eurovision. Reading through the other criticisms, it does just seem a bit odd considering what your entry ended up being last year, and the fact that the alternative to it was probably the very plastic "Liar". I guess Greece just don't know when they have it good eh?
@@kaleproject3495 We never agree on what is the right song to represent us. Or literally on anything else.
Exactly ! I think it's a very good year, with a lot of mid songs (and that is because the NF season the other hand was lackluster) but with a lot of promising songs. As you could have seen my only big disagreement is with Europapa , which I can't get it yet. The whole song just comes in a very annoying and almost psychotic way, and even though it has a message, I just don't feel it that much. Dunno if I'm the only one who had Belgium as my winner, but I think it's great, reminds me of Underwater by Mika, with an ambitious climax at the end. Also forgot to mention that Switzerland actually grew off me for me to put it a 6.5 . I just think it needed more buildup
I think the top songs this year are very top. But there's a big fall-off after the top 12-13ish. Last year, I had stuff like Spain, Czechia, Norway, UK and Australia all in my late-teen's and early twenties. All of those songs are much stronger than the likes of Georgia and Albania which I have up there last year. Similarly, there aren't many songs as bad as San Marino, Romania or Ireland from last year...so that is a positive. I don't mind the vibe of Belgium. But I think it takes far too long to get to the point. What is functioning as the "chorus" in the first two minutes of the song, feels more like a bridge and doesn't really give much of a payoff. And then, in the third minute, they completely move away from it and don't come back to it. I think these issues make it hard for me to like it, even though I do somewhat respect it. I think structurally, Switzerland is quite strong. If you get past the crazy ideas and inputs, it's actually a pretty classic Eurovision song structure. It does work for me. ^^
I still haven't fully finished my ranking yet, I'll comment it here later. My winner is a very close race between Norway and Armenia. I see "Jako" in a similar light as "Hora Din Moldova" which is in my 2009's Top 2. Norway has consistently been my winner ever since their first performance, but they might fall now. In other news, what a delightful entry from Azerbaijan today! I'm a big fan of this new Azerbaijan we've getting recently. They're becoming much more authentic now, even if that isn't reflected on the scoreboard. Glad we finally got to hear Azeri in Esc! In terms of biggest disagreements, I do have Belgium in the Top 5 so that should be it. I'll probally have Australia in 34th/35th, that's a big difference too - I just really can't go with his voice. Biggest agreements? (Norway ofc) I reckon I have Luxembourg and Cyprus in the same exact placements as you do. "Liar" really is just "Fighter" but with a higher production value :P Also, was not expecting to see "Pedestal" dead last. I mean, I knew you didn't really like it, but below "Scared Of Heights" or "No Rules!"? That's harsh.
High praise for "Jako"! I really like it. Don't know if it's quite to the same level that you do, but I definitely don't think you're wrong to place it that high. I'm going to give the full Azeri studio cut a listen to day and I'm quite excited. I do like that they're going a bit more local with their songwriting now and I do think that long-term, it is going to payoff. But for now, they're playing catchup, and it's probably going to take a while for the results to turn around. I may dislike "Scared Of Heights" or "No Rules" for my own personal taste, but I do think that for people who like those types of music, there is something there. "Pedestal" is just, as an instrumental, completely flat and poorly-written. There's little for me to appreciate there.
WE HAVE THE SAME TOP 2 HOLY POOP
Let's go. That's some proper taste right there. ^^ (As if it was in doubt).
Loved your content and the commentary was always so complete, but can't believe you're part of the problem of Eurovision letting genocidal countries into the contest... :/
I'll let this comment slide, but I haven't made any decision on who competes at Eurovision nor have I commented on how I feel about who's being allowed to compete. I'm going to be respectful of everyone's opinions on non-musical matters, but I would also expect my commenters to be respectful of the fact that that is not something I'm interested in getting into on this channel.
But eurovision doesn't allow Iran or "palestine" (which isn't even a real state) in the Eurovision
Thanks 🇦🇿❤
You're welcome! I had to rank it before listening to the proper studio version, which I will do today. I expect to like it even more.
THE NETHERLANDS UNDERRATED how is he only 10th ?
Really? I have it ranked higher than most tops I've seen...and I'm not really sure which bad song I have ranked above it. I thought top ten was quite fair!
@@kaleproject3495 yeah I was joking because I'm really obsessed with this song but 10th place is a decent one

I'm so happy I was there for your first comment and you're still checking these out one year later! I really like the top eight of your ideal grand final. I'd like to think the UK really could do that well. I keep telling people that juries are going to like it, but I've been getting a bit of kickback.
Personal top 37 (as of right now) : 1.) Italy 2.) France 3.) Serbia 4.) Slovenia 5.) Israel 6.) Portugal 7.) Belgium 8.) Latvia 9.) Georgia 10.) Norway 11.) Croatia 12.) Ukraine 13.) The Netherlands 14.) Switzerland 15.) Azerbaijan 16.) Australia 17.) Lithuania 18.) Sweden 19.) Cyprus 20.) Austria 21.) United Kingdom 22.) Albania 23.) Spain 24.) Greece 25.) Armenia 26.) Malta 27.) Estonia 28.) Poland 29.) Moldova 30.) Luxembourg 31.) San Marino 32.) Ireland 33.) Germany 34.) Denmark 35.) Iceland 36.) Czechia 37.) Finland Just in case since it's a polemic this year, I judge songs and not countries' government actions. I believe Israel's song is amazing and I believe Eden deserves to show her talent on the stage as much as all the other participants. I also believe people can't be judged on their government's actions, I'm sure a majority of people just wants peace on both sides. That's all that I will say because I'm not bringing up politics or things which would just go against what Eurovision is about. After this disclaimer, sort of, I just want to say I am so sad Latvia is that low for you, especially after we both were fans of Sudden Lights last year x) I love Hollow and I don't want another NQ for Latvia, really. They're trying to bring quality and I believe they are doing so for a few years, yet still being unnoticed :( Especially hurts to see Latvia below Luxembourg in your top :c A little surprised Cyprus is that low too, I wonder what makes you like it less than most of the other pop efforts this year ? I think it's not great but it's good and I find it a bit low, only being above the really uninspired or dated pop efforts and being below entries like Germany's. Also surprised Belgium is that low for you, especially considering a discussion we had on your Denmark NF ranking :o I guess it fell hard for you, somehow ? Still proud of my country's entry although I still think we're likely looking at a top 15-10 unless something spectacular happens. All in all, I'll wait for your top after show with full comments, it'll be more interesting to share ideas that way :3 We have some differences, some quite huge at that, especially in the opposite way where I have some songs you put very high quite a bit lower ^^
People can be judge in government actions if they support said government
@@leck_mAnd I support neither ;) I support innocent people trapped in this hell though, on both sides.
I'm sure we can get into all of these songs before May! Really interesting top and can see you're not sure about some of the songs I really like. Your top three is objectively high-quality though, and we can go with that. With Israel's participation, I think there just needs to be a point where you draw a line under it and start talking about the actual song. I'll respect everyone who is taking a position about it, but, I'm into Eurovision to talk about music and that's what I'll be doing. I don't like the song as much as you do, but there are some positives about it for sure! Latvia is a bit of a weird situation as I also would like them to end their NQ streak. But, tbf, the only song that they've sent that has definitely deserves to qualify is Aijā. And, I wouldn't want them to NQ with that and then qualify with something like Hollow. I think during the Latvian NF, I ended up with at least five songs I like more than Hollow. Was really disappointed it was chosen based on the artist when they had some genuine interesting songs in there. If nothing else, I feel like Cyprus is a victim of this year in my ranking more than anything else. I gave it a solid 5.0 rating, acknowledging it as a pretty uninspired, but decently-turned out girlbop. I think it lacks a bit of personality compared to the likes of Georgia or Malta, where the artists seem to be more reflected in the song. With Belgium, I love the ambience. There's ideas there. But, the more I listen to it, the more I'm taken back to the 2019 entry, where the chorus of the song felt like a complete afterthought and undid so much of the good. I think the idea here, is that you can get away with it as it's building to what they're doing in the third minute, but....I still need to get through those first two minutes. I feel like I needed more mini payoffs before the big one at the end. (Oh and I still find it weird that the third minute of the song is constantly like that with no callbacks to the "chorus" at all....I feel they could've done 30 seconds with what they did and then revisit the chorus in some way before the end). I think you can tell by how much I can talk about it, I definitely don't dislike the Belgian entry and am just a bit more frustrated by what it should've been.
@@kaleproject3495 Of course, I completely agree, I just made this disclaimer to avoid being called unspeakable things for loving Israel's song, because if you like their entry it apparently means you support what their government is doing... It doesn't make any sense but yeah. Anyway, I'll stop there and that's all I have to say ^^' If I follow Eurovision, it's absolutely for the same reason as you, to talk about music, not that, and tbh this ''disclaimer'' was more for other people than for you because I knew you'd be respectful and know I am rating the song for what I think its merits deserve, I'm just sad to see so much hate around and felt like I just needed to say rating music is just rating music. I just think this song is powerful, the emotion comes out, Eden seems to have really great vocals and that's something I'm looking forward to live and I also think the song has a good staging potential as well. I also think the instrumental is good although it maybe could've been amped up a bit earlier in the song ; the last minute is amazing though and I think the payoff is worth it. I get that. I guess the difference is I connect with it and I think you feel in a similar way to this as you did with Bridges last year, right ? I think Hollow is a really good song though it's not better than Aijā but I don't see Latvia topping that one for me in a long time so... The bar was set up high. I personally think Hollow deserves to qualify and I hope it will break Latvia's NQ streak although I did wish Aijā did that last year ;( It may not be the most interesting/original song but it does what it does well in my opinion I mean my issue I personally have with Cyprus is that it does feel generic or at least not daring to do anything new, playing the relatively safe good radio track, not having the best buildup but still having one and the instrumental does feel like it could've had more punch but it's well-done otherwise, it plays its part so it ends up mid-table for me. I personally think it's similar to the songs surrounding it in my top for me such as Austria, Sweden or even the likes of Lithuania/UK in overall intent and quality, but I just either like Cyprus more than Austria/UK or do feel like Sweden and Lithuania have the production advantage on it, Sweden being slick as always and Lithuania, although I feel like it's overrated by fans, does have a really solid pop song with a good beat throughout although I do have the same issue as with Cyprus that it doesn't feel like it really builds up anywhere instrumentally-wise, it kinda stays the same throughout with only subtle changes. Ngl, Malta dropped for me with the revamp because they lost some catchy elements with the revamp which, in turn, didn't give too much good to the song imo. I know you haven't mentioned it but along with that statement, I also think Albania's revamp hurt it overall, simply because they didn't keep the melody along with Besa's vocals which made it catchy and memorable ; it did get better production overall, at the expense of losing any real melody which isn't the best tradeoff in my opinion. I honestly expected Albania to go up in my ranking with the revamp, and I believe if they kept the melody it would have, but here it dropped a bit for me as well. Georgia was a good surprise for me though, I expected a generic female bop because of the title when it got released and to be fair, the lyrics/message might not be the most original but I'll always believe it's a nice message and I really like the instrumental ; it is actually interesting and dynamic in my opinion, it feels like it gives off a bit of a ''tribal'' vibe at points if I can say it like that, like with the instrumental during and after the ''put out the fire'' part after the first chorus and overall, I think the instrumental is pretty rich for such a song which is why it doesn't come across as generic as it could've came across and that's also why it's higher in my top, I believe it's the best ''bop'' song of the year because of this. Nutsa also does seem to bring personality but also great vocals to the table so it does get points too because of that ^^. I see. I don't think the chorus is as much of a letdown as it was back in our 2019 entry but I can get your criticism, I did feel a similar way on my first listen tbh but it grew on me quite heavily with subsequent listens personally. I also think you have got a point for the last minute, I actually agree, I just don't think it affects me as much as it does for you x) I think it's a bit too repetitive and that's why I can't see it actually winning or something, and I feel like it's also indeed a bit of a wasted opportunity on the chorus but yeah, the ambiance just gets me whenever I listen to it and I do feel like the payoff of the last minute is worth it although I do think, likewise I believe, that the buildup could've been better tbh. No worries, even if you didn't like it I wouldn't mind ^^ It's always nice to see different opinions and especially discussing on them :3 I was just a bit surprised because you did seem to like it quite a lot when you first listened to it I guess, so I didn't expect it to be that ''low'' on your top and hence why I was curious ^^ But yeah I get what you mean though, it could've been better but I believe it's still quite great, could've been really great though with some adjusments.
@@leck_m so we have the right to criticize palestinians because 70% of them support ha-mas?

Glad you agree! Hope a lot of votes come Teya Dora's way in May!
I’ve waited so long for this list… and I 96% agree with your placements👍 The only thing missing is your comments
Thanks so much! I'm glad that there aren't too many placements you disagree with. My before show videos generally don't have comments. For about half of the songs, I've commented about them in my NF tops and I'd like to give the internal selections the chance to be judged live, too. So I will comment in my after show ranking, for sure!
Such a good year. No songs under a 5/10 from me this year, including the controversial acts. I have Malta last and Israel second last (for non political reasons, I just don’t like the song. Bridges was my 2nd last, last year)
I have five songs rated lower than a 5.0. But my ratings are notoriously harsh. I don't think there are many bad, bad songs. Maybe just Czechia and Iceland. The next ones are either really bland or just not for me (Hello, Finland!). The Israel song I think is solid enough. Really like the third minute of it. I think the production could be better though. The instrumental is a bit artificial-sounding. Malta, I won't defend too hard...but I do think there are worse songs.

What a televote he got. :3
You know what Breskvica’s song is about right? It’s kinda propaganda…
Yeah, I've had a few people talk to me about it. Generally when I rank/rate songs, I don't really care about the lyrics unless they're lyrically clunky or the word phrasing is awkward. In most cases, performers can sing out their shopping lists as far as I care. XD
For me personally, this is the hardest song to rank. Musically, I found it to be the most attractive candidate in Serbia. Lyrically, though, I don't have the cultural background needed to wade into that mess. I'd probably have it around #20 ordinarily, but I think I'll just disqualify it. There are too many good songs in the queue just waiting to get in my top 50.
Spain sign his last place sentence by not sending Dos Extraños to the Eurovision 🙄
Is a possibility, but Germany might be fighting hard for it, too!
Well, at the end Germany almost in top 10 and Spain isn't in top 20 again
So interesting to see other candidates from different countries. Thanks for this summary. I agree with your choice and found definitely new songs for my playlist☀️!
Thanks so much! If I knew viewers were still watching some of these for the first time, I would've made the clips longer. :3
