*Disclaimer:
1. This is NOT a prediction.
2. I will change my mind. This is my top 10 FOR NOW... (March 26th)
3. This is my PERSONAL Top 10. I'm not sharing this to convince you to adopt it as your own. I'm sharing to share: you can do the same.

Zari has a grip on me that NO other Eurovision song has ever had... EVER!!! Athens 2025!!!
Definitely
I am completely obsessed with Switzerland. I could play on a permanent loop and still find new things to like about it. Five songs in one but completely cohesive.
You should check out the live versions from Swiss TV and preparties. He is deffo deserving to win! 😍😍😍
LOVE that you have Greece so high!
Was it surprising tho?!? 🤣 I feel like it tracks
My favourite is Greece (for now) but happy to see some love for Australia, it has grown on me a lot, together with Poland which is in my top 3 now!
Bambie will rock it. She isn’t a singer doing a song, she does a complete theatrical performance. If she doesn't knock it out of the park, I'd be really surprised.
Yes for the Greece love. It’s my number one. So pleased you’re loving this one too!
I'm not suprised for Australia, it is really radiofriendly and melodic track and it's perfect to hear it in car, bar etc.
For Croatia I think that most of the hate is coming because of first position in odds, but we get used to it every year
In love with Greece just as you are😂❤
I have a feeling Italy will soon become first, and then they will give us a rest. Its getting tired to be honest.
Well Croatia just started to free fall on the betting odds for some reason and Italy is catching it up. So lets see if haters will now switch to Italy if it overtakes Croatia :)
@@MM-tz2bs i dont think so, they will maybe calm down i our case, but Italy is always fan favorite and she is very popular this year among ESC fans.
@@ANA-il6js85 Agreed, but there are always people who hate 1st one in the odds, no matter what and that sucks, this is competition and someone has to win xD
@@sonicna i know, and there are people who hate the winning song 🤣, its the same every year. What i dont like are the hate bully comments, i wish people can write their opinion without beeing nasty towards the nation or performer 😉.
It's a shame and actually makes no sense that Greece and Switzerland are to perform back to back in places 3 and 4 in the second semi - final. It's as if they are trying to neutralise both songs.
It was an odd choice
ΤΑ ΤΑ ΤΑ ΤΑ🇬🇷🏆
Just came from a vacation in Miami, and guess what - I’ve heard Greece’s song 2 times at the beach and Dizzy from the UK at the club. Was so happy they both are getting the international traction they deserve, beyond just Europe
Love it.
Oh really? Wow! Go Greece!
As a fellow American Eurovision follower, choosing my top 10 this year is significantly more difficult than the last few years combined. The entries are so diverse this year, I love it.
Greece!!! Eurovision Athens 2025
Thank you so much from Greece. All this time I've seen so many love comments from the other countries and it's so amazing because here in Greece, all People hate Marinna and they say really bad things for her and the song. Tysm!!!
Justice for Australia and the UK, I thought I was the only one who enjoyed them so much 🤩. For some reason I'm almost in total agreement with the countries on your top 10 as well as with your honourable mentions. I would also add Belgium because, what can I say, I love this song. Lithuania and Switzerland are some of my faves since day 1✨. Ukraine probably has the best chorus this year. I also love Croatia but I ADORE the Netherlands -this song is just everything🔥. What can I say about Greece, my country? Our song is almost addictive to us. I've lost count of how many times me and my singer have randomly started singing and dancing to it😅🤩 -we of course know it by heart at this point 😅
Greece is my No. 1
Marina will not disappoint you on stage, the Greek choreographer Mecnun Giasarar has collaborated with huge names in the artistic field such as Madonna, Rosalia and also with last year's competition winner Lorin.
With this appearance, Greece wants to celebrate 50 years of participation.
Thank you very much and I hope to see you next year in Greece.
TA TA TA NATION RISE UP 🎲
Top 5, at the moment, Norway, Switzerland, Greece, Croatia and Ukraine
I Allesia, thank you. Well, there are five songs or countries that would make me happy if they won in 2024: 1 - Greece (Marina is literally a Greek goddess and an Arab musical genius; Zari opens the door to paradise, I love it). 2 - Belgium, it's simply my type of music, perfect, I'll listen to it forever. 3 - Portugal, best female vocals in 2024, beautiful and chilling, unforgettable performance. 4 - Norway, connection with nature and the primordial, to top it off with an unforgettable rock ballad. 5 - France, has the best male voice and celebrates love in Paris. For me it is enough. ❤❤❤
11:22 "Dippin and doin it with an Aperol Spritz" absolutely sent me 🤣🤣🤣
It's true LOL

🇬🇷❤️
Australia is so underrated 😢
The code is such a great song!!
Thanks for placing Greece so high 🇬🇷❤️
LMAOOO at La Noia taunting you I FEEL THE SAME here in Ireland. I am obsessed with it, its in my top 5, but i cant listen on the dreary days, It's. Taunting. Me.
Im so surprised there's no Portugal in your top 10!
Ikr! After all what she said about Portugal’s entry…
It’s on my faves playlist. This is a strong year, and as much as I like the song I listen to other tracks MORE.
So glad u love Norway

kisses from Greece!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was pleasantly surprised to see the UK in your top 10. Glad you really like it :)
Thanks from Greece 🇬🇷 ❤❤❤❤
I'm surprised to see the Netherlands on your list and above croatia based on your reactions videos. The song has grow on me a lot. But I guessed right on switzerland and greece for your top 2 ^^
I'm rooting for switzerland. The audience is gonna go wild!!! I am excited ❤️❤️❤️
Greece and Switzerland!
Love your love for Ireland. I hope Ireland nails the staging. Can't wait for us to shock Europe 🇮🇪🇮🇪
I hope so too!
Thank you very much! Greetings from Croatia. Baby Lasagna. Metal song =metal voice!!😘😺
THE CODE !!!
I love how your top is diverse, I think it just proves how strong this year is... Literally the top 25 in my rankings could be top 10 in any other year because this year is so strong... I'm afraid we'll lose some of our girls (and boys) during the show
We have the same top 2 .....i believe and i want Greece or Switzerland for win !!!!If Marina will have an excellent stage presence, she may have a great chance for the win!!!!!
I like 80% of the songs this year. Last year, I liked maybe less than 20% of the songs
Serbia and France❤
Thank you for defending Croatia and using critical thinking skills about it. People are being too much about it lmao.
Its because of that bloody odds, if we were 25 nobody would care. ❤
Every time I see someone bashing the Croatian entry or Baby Lasagna himself, I smile. I love to see people reveal their insecurities over their personal favorites and the other songs that threaten those insecurities.
@@craigpacker7171 idk why people struggle with hyping your fave up without bringing others down
@@craigpacker7171 its getting tired, we didnt have that many hate comments last year when we sent Let3 🤦🏻♀️
@@ANA-il6js85 That's because Let3 didn't scare anyone or threaten their personal favorites. "When people show you who they are, believe them the first time." ~ Maya Angelou
My top 10 this year is OVERFLOWING the heck out of the 10 slots too. My favorite is still Belgium followed by Estonia, but I would like to see Croatia take it even though it’s my 12th place.
Team Lithuania!!
I hope Greece going to win this year!! ATHENS IN 2025 🇬🇷🇬🇷
Girl I'm so happy seeing Ukraine in your top 10. The fandom has been relentless towards Ukraine and Croatia's entries lately and I don't get why, both are amazing songs that are very deserving in being in the top 10. One fandom in particular has been attacking the others a lot unfortunately, which is sad.
My top 10:
1/ Greece
2/ Croatia
3/ Belgium
4/ Switzerland
5/ Ukraine
6/ Netherlands
7/ Armenia
8/ Estonia
9/ Spain
10/ Portugal
Come to Greece anyway, Alesia ❤️
Though to be honest this Greek is rooting for Croatia this year
I'm completely agreed with your top 10. Switzerland is also my number one
Omg, thank you for this video. My top is
1. Netherlands
2. Portugal
3. Croatia
4. Italy (you were right, the warm weather makes it better)
5. Slovenia
6. Ukraine
7. Switzerland
8. Ireland
9. Serbia
10. Spain
Honorable mentions: Poland, Finland and Estonia
Slovenia 💜
Satti-sfaction Marinaaaaaaaaaa 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love your ranking (for now), but I can't help noticing that there was just one song that you started singing spontaneously: Europapa. Good choice!
Greece is my #1 choice!! We have many similar. Australia is on repeat for me right now, had them in top 15 but may need to change things around.
Ta ta ta ta ta 💪
Alesia you are a queen, greetings from Spain ❤❤❤❤
🤗🙏🏾🙏🏾
Switzerland is my number 1 too- second Azerbaijan- i didn't see a reaction from you not in your top 10? wow.
It amazes me people are afraid of Switzerland winning because «it's gonna be expensive to go there» when they are all cheering up for Malmö. Sweden is, on some extends, even more costly than Switzerland.
With love, I was just in Geneva last summer. Sweden is WAY cheaper: flights, hotels, food, drinks... EASY.
It still amazes me this is taken into account for liking or not a potential singing winner in a TV show. Anyway, your channel is the best on ESC, thanks for your valuable and interesting content always topping other channels on same topic. :) And I hope to say soon «Welcome to Switzerland again» ;)
I was fully expecting for Slovenia to be in your top 10. I feel like Veronika is right up your alley, but it wasn't even in your honourable mentions D:
It's on the fave playlist, but I don't listen to it enough. The studio cut isn't really the "draw" here. I love it but I think it is a track best experienced LIVE.
This is the opinion a lot of people share, so I respect it and I also agree with it. I just think the track has such a thorough and rich production, which makes it one of the best songs this year - but I'm biased since it's my number one.
Omg I knew you liked The Code but didn’t know it would be your number 1!!! Snap!!! I’ve listened to it probably well over 200 times at this point and it still excites me every listen!
We share 8/10, I’ll take that! 👏👏👏
Love these reactions ❤ so well rounded and respectful to everyone ❤️
Love from Croatia❤
what are your thoughts and feelings for the running orders of semi finals one and two this year
quite apprehensive for Ireland to qualify and it's breaking my heart
She talked about them on her tiktok ❤
I have Armenia in my top 10 as well. I'm not a fan as such of 'ethnic' songs from the southern part of Europe - too often it's predictable and noisy. But every year there is one or two I like. Last year it was Moldova.
My favourite Eurovision song right now is Norway's. I didn't expect it to be when it came out, but this year has been very disappointing in my opinion, so no winner from the national finals has surpassed it. Great that the Norwegian people picked this and not Keiino's semi joke song.
The way you feel about your top 2, I could be making the exact same case for Ukraine and Greece! I'm surprised Serbia and Ireland are below some of your choices, especially Croatia
Also not Alesia predicting the odds for Switzerland! hahaha
I love "Hurricane" from Israel. It is the song I listen to over and over and over again.
Yes! Nemo!!! I didn’t expect Alesia to have Switzerland as her number 1! I’m so happy!!! 🎉
I’m just worried that many juries will prefer something simple like France (even though that song is my number 2).
I just want the juries to appreciate risky songs.
But it would not be undeserved too if France gets some jury love, even if it's simple. Slimane remains a great live performer !
@@thom211 For sure! Mon Amour is in my top 2. I will be so mad if the juries won't give France a lot of points.
I totally agree with you! Greece and Switzerland are two risky songs! But I want to see after so many years an ethnic-pop song win! Greece for the win ❤️
Same top 3, love them!
Norway’s been in my #1 spot ever since it debuted!
mine too
There is a leak that the Greek song on stage would be televised in one shot !!!
That is (very) risky too.
Greek here.
I love Australia this year!!!
Croatia and NL compete about the same votes, than Käärijä did last year alone, so it's much harder this year.
My personal favourites in no particular order:
- Armenia
- Austria
- Greece
- Italy
- Switzerland
My prediction for the overall win is Switzerland.
Thank you so much for your comment. Greetings from Croatia! Baby Lasagna rules! 😻👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷
Joost we love u thank you for your reaction ❤
Switzerland is my number 1 too! Now that I have seen them perform live, I‘m even more confident that Nemo has a very strong chance to win if the staging is done right. So excited to see them in Malmö soon🥰
Its crazy how my top 10 can be so different from yours every single year. Im curious to see your top 10 prediction, if it differs equally much from the subjective choices
No Austria! I’m
Shocked
I think I have 8 of your songs in my Top 10 (for now). Australia isn't in my Top 10, but it's in my Top 20. Greece is a you either love it or dislike it song. I don't think there's a middle. I want to go to Greece, and for that, I don't mind it winning, but unfortunately, it's in my bottom 5 (for now).
I like UKs song 🔥 it really stands out in a good way 🫶🏻
Greece❤❤
Love your top10 and loved this reaction!!! You seem so excited and this makes me super excited for this year’s Eurovision😝 Can’t believe after all these years I’ve been a Eurovision fan I am finally going to Eurovision😍😍 hope to see you there 🥰
🎉
Great Top 10 Alesia!
My top 10 is
1 the Netherlands Europapa
2 Lithuania Luktelk
3 Luxembourg Fighter
4 Ukraine Teresa & Maria
5 Italy La noia
6 Australia One milkali
7 UK Dizzy
8 Greece Zari
9 Croatia Rim tim taggi dim
10 Denmark Sand
I totally agree Switzerland is my number one 🎉❤
Where is Belgian........and Portugal? 😟
She never likes belgian entries
Honestly, not getting the Netherlands personally, but I can see it's charm. Switzerland 100% awesome and unique. Greece is the real wild child. Great and/or fascinating top 13 though. I'd squeeze in Belgium and Estonia.
Which are the 17 songs you dont have on your list? I am curious ;d
I sais I might révéla my faves playlist- but TBF it’s still in the review process. Songs could be let go before the big show.
I am team Croatia ❤
Love for Baby Lasagna! We love you, Marko! He is such a sweetheart and he rocks! ❤🎉❤
Thank you Alesia !!! All the greeks eurovision fans are waiting for your thoughts and appreciate always your kind opinions! I have already posted your video on Facebook in the group, Eurovision Fans Greece ❤❤
My top 10 so far
1st Israel
2nd Croatia
3rd Ukraine
4th Greece
5th Luxembourg
6th Poland
7th Serbia
8th Italy
9th Ireland
10th Spain
Gurl, 7/10 songs (not in particular order) are both in our top ten! Yes indeed 2024 is so strong, it is hard to choose the faves. You have Switzerland on 1st (16th on mine), Australia 10th (30th) and Ukraine on 3rd (13th) that are out of my top ten (mine includes Ireland, France and Poland). Cool stuff!!! 👏👏👏
I might be the only person with Estonia (studio version, mind you) in my top 10 xD
Nope. I loooove Estonia😂
Ofc it is in the faves playlist. Just not quite top 10 (for now)
You’re not alone 😊
Dizzy goes crazy in the car!!
next Eurovision there is a song all about how on the seven of october in the morining some nice ppl came and murderd raped kidnapped the song is by a lovely group you should react to that song I am sure you will love it
Switserland song is overrated in my opinion...too much screaming causing a constant anxiety..
Thanks for sharing the list :) Here is mine:
Honorable mentions: Luxembourg, Georgia, Israel
10. Belgium - It's a really good song. I hope he will perform it well live. It would have been higher, but I would have preferred him do something else in that last minute, instead of just repeating "before the party is over". Love the choir back vocals!! Love his falsetto!!
9. Armenia - Such a fun song! I love it, I love their spirit and energy, I love that it is in Armenian. I do wish there was more lyrics, but even so it is really fun.
8. Greece - I am really liking this song. I like the mix of traditional and the modern. I like her voice. I am curious about staging. I am not really a fan of that traditional instrument when it goes really into the forefront of the song at certain points, but oh well..
7. Lithuania - Such a banger! Love it so much. I really like the staging. I really like that instrumental part that comes after the bridge. Awesome!
6. Portugal - I really like this song. I have to say, at first listen (studio version), I didn't really get it. But seeing it live, it was beautiful. Her voice is beautiful and the staging is perfect.
5. Croatia - My country.. I am so happy we finally have something competitive. I still don't think we will win, but I would like that to happen. Marko is great, I think he will be even better at Eurovision stage.
4. Slovenia - I adore her, her voice is so hypnotizing, and the song is very interesting. I like all the sound effects it has and how creepy it can be. Really hoping the staging will be epic!
3. Italy - I love this so much. The song is so unpredictable, it changes and grows and flows perfectly. Her performance is amazing and she has such a strong stage presence.
2. France - I just love a good classic ballad. And this is it. Since I understand French, since the first listen I was won over. But more than the song (which I do admit is simple and cliche at times lyrically), it is Slimane that makes this song for me. His performance is out of this world (even without the 2m away singing). He touches me every time and I am sure he will bring it on the big stage.
1. Switzerland - This song is just WOW. It is a mix of everything and he can SING. He sings pop, and drum and base and opera and rap.. and all of it sounds awesome! I really love it and I hope it will be also great on stage.
💜🌸💜🌸💜🌸💜
My fave is Austria, followed by Cyprus and Denmark. The rest in my TOP 10 are Italy, Poland, Slovenia, Iceland, Georgia, Israel, Greece.
