      The runner up in Germany's national selection was called Lied mit gutem Text - literally "Song with good lyrics", and it makes fun of Germany's failure to do well. I absolutely love it, but I think the meaning would be lost to people who don't understand German.
      UK's song has the same structure and basically the same chord progression as France's song, but it's just worse at every aspect, and France didn't even do well

      As a Lithuanian, I felt really bad for Germany, they definitely did not deserve to be in the last place.
      That said, there were definitely some things that could have been improved. For one, I think the song would have sounded much better in German, that's like the perfect language for metal songs. Secondly, it seemed like they were a bit undecided on what they wanted that song to be, heavy metal or a pop ballad. I personally would have much preferred if they fully, or at least for the most part, directed it towards the metal side. Still, even as it was, it definitely didn't deserve its last place, it was leagues above UKs performance, and much better than a lot of generic pop songs such as Switzerland or Poland.

    Except for Croatias tractor song, which I liked very much (I mean its weird AND its catchy as hell, what more do you want) and Ukraines and Swedens song (which sounded pretty generic to me), I agree with you full time. I was pleasantly surprised that you placed Latvia that high, bc it was my favourite (with finland) in the first semifinal. And of course Cha Cha Cha goes harder than anything Ive heard this year. Great ranking

    “….like second Christmas.” Yes! I feel the same way! While I’m an American who has only been watching Eurovision since 2016, I look forward to it every year! This year I watched several of the national finals (everyone that I could watch here in the US that was available on TH-cam or the broadcaster’s website and wasn’t geoblocked [because I’m lazy and didn’t want to use my VPN]). Found a lot of other songs and artists I liked that didn’t even make it to Eurovision. And I continue to listen to new songs by previous artists long after the contest.
    I like the few sports analogies sprinkled in. Eurovision is like the European Olympics of music or the European World Cup of Music (or my sister compared it to the Super Bowl of Music because people decorate their homes and have house parties to watch it or go out to bars/pubs/etc to watch it and the interval acts are just as anticipated as the half-time show and the crowd in the arena gets loud!)
    Thanks for sharing your rankings and thoughts on this year’s songs. TH-cam recommended your video to me. I subscribed to your channel, so I’m new here. I’m not as passionate about sports as I am Eurovision, but I’m still a fan and watch some from time to time. I at least try to keep up with scores.
    Great video! Thanks for making and sharing! Hope you had an awesome Eurovision Week!

    -JUSTICE FOR JANN
    -I used to agree with you on Georgia but after a while it got so funny it ended up in my top 10 songs for the year somehow it’s just how did this get greenlit. Also the vocals are very great
    -THATS RICH IS AMAZING WHAT DO YOU MEAN
    -I am trying to come to terms with the fact that not everyone is an edgy bitch like me with Serbia in top 5 but I’ll contain myself. Some songs are just a lot compared to the usual stuff you hear on radio
    -couldn’t agree more on Israel 😭 the drop at the end is weird too it sounds straight out of blackpink
    -CIUTOOOOO TUTOO CIUTOOOOO TUTOO she’s gonna qualify don’t worry
    -saudade saudade is so good kinda underrated
    -Latvia feels too good to be true it needs to qualify
    -the beginning of Armenia isn’t even that bad, it’s just used to build the song up. The rap and the Armenian part are the real shit tho
    -Carpe Diem has such a happy vibe I hope they get top 10
    -Loreen’s music video is actually literally the live performance they didn’t do a MV
    -I can’t wait for the Swedish Finnish war that’s gonna start after one of them wins and the other one gets second by like two points

    Germany and The Uk also were really robbed, but the blame could be adressed to probably their performance. At last, frick Eurovision to have given the prize to a song which copied from way better ones so that the eurovision would be hosted for the 50 years of ABBA in Stockholm.
    Overall, the ceremony is a 4/10, bordering on 3. Some countries were decently represented (Belgium, Italy, etc...) but most mediocre songs were way too up in the leaderboard.
