Also be mindful of the unique National Finals (Melodifestivalen- Sweden, San Remo - Italy, Vidbir-Ukraine, etc). As these are unique onto themselves. Poland NF had their contestants compete on Beatles songs for one of the semifinals... and also listen to the classic entries like Monaco 1971 and the 1965 France Gall Luxembourg... this contest is more than even this

    Big Eurovision fan from US. Having 40-50 countries sending songs each year, there’s a big variety of genres with pop and ballad songs being the most common but genres like hard rock and punk have made appearances aswell. Countries sometimes send ”serious” songs that are musically of great quality and sometimes ”joke” songs that are meant to just entertain or actually send a political/social message. There is less traditional music being sent to Eurovision than like 20 years ago but it’s not completely finished. In a nutshell, you can expect pretty much anything

People think the UK doesn’t take it seriously but I think the UK takes it too serious and we keep sending songs that might do okay on the radio but far too bland for Eurovision.
