Fun season. Here's what I've got: Albania: Arsi Bako - Zgjohu Croatia: Baby Lasagna - Rim Tim Tagi Dim Czechia: Aiko - Pedestal Denmark: Ublu - Planetary Hearts Estonia: Antsud - Vetevaim Finland: Cyan Kicks - Dancing With Demons Germany: Ryk - Oh Boy Iceland: Sigga Ozk - Into the Atmosphere Ireland: Ailsha - Go Tobann Italy: Dargen D'Amico - Onda alta Latvia: Vēstulēs - Kur? Lithuania: Martin - Jigsaw Luxembourg: Krick - Drowning In The Rain Malta: Sarah Bonnici - Loop Moldova: Oliv Sky - Another Universe Norway: MIIA - Green Lights Portugal: Joao Borsch - Pelas costuras San Marino: Megara - 11:11 Serbia: Dzordzi - Luna park Spain: St. Pedro - Dos extranos Sweden: Dotter - It's Hard to Write a Love Song Ukraine: Ziferblat - Place I Call Home
We have some shared winners but the coolest of your picks that weren't mine were your choices for Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Moldova. All of those are really good songs that would've given me something to be excited about had they been picked for Eurovision.
I liked Katrina, Valleria, and April as well. Moldova's auditions were so depressing that they totally ruined that weekend for me. And I hated Lithuania's format change-- so much good stuff got eliminated immediately.@@kaleproject3495
I think the sweet spot for Lithuania is something not as length as they used to have, but to only have two qualifiers from each semi final was a bit too brutal. If they're insistent on having such large selections, I'd recommend three semi finals of 12-14 songs with four qualifiers.
My winners Albania 🇦🇱 - Zemrën N’dore Croatia 🇭🇷 - Rim Tim Tagi Dim Czechia 🇨🇿 - Pedestal Denmark 🇩🇰 - Sand Estonia 🇪🇪 - FOMO Finland 🇫🇮 - Kuori Mua Germany 🇩🇪 - Tears like Rain Iceland 🇮🇸 - Downfall Ireland 🇮🇪 - Go Tobann Italy 🇮🇹 - La Noia Latvia 🇱🇻 - The cats song Lithuania 🇱🇹 - Rock My body Luxembourg 🇱🇺 - Drowning in the rain Malta 🇲🇹 - Loop Moldova 🇲🇩 - Anti-princess Norway 🇳🇴 - ulveham Portugal 🇵🇹 - Agua San Marino 🇸🇲 - 11:11 Serbia 🇷🇸 - Ramonda Spain 🇪🇸 - Se quien Soy Sweden 🇸🇪 - When I’m gone Ukraine 🇺🇦 - Teresa and Maria Overall been mostly happy with the national final winners this year. Some disappointments though were definitely with Luxembourg and Spain
I would have to agree with the two biggest disappointments, as they are songs that I had rated as 9.0+ out of 10.0, yet both countries picked songs that I considered to be
Most of the artists that I passionately wanted to win like Gate, Baby Lasagna, and Angelina Mango did win. The only exception to this is Ollie in Estonia though I didn't expect him to win. Overall, a pretty solid national final season
I have to admit, the ones that I *really* wanted to win, actually did end up doing so. I think Spain and Luxembourg were the big exceptions and they took place quite early on, so it definitely got better.

Six wins isn't bad! I think I've only got five so far. It looks like we had a few in common as well. Drowning In The Rain is probably the most painful out of those shared losses, just because of how meh the song they actually sent is.
@@kaleproject3495 Drowning in the rain might be the most painful loss indeed, would’ve made it to my top 3! While Fighter is just.. bad. Otherwise I’m not doing too bad so I can’t complain 😂
Eight shared winners! Every year, we're getting more and more on the same page. ^^ And I you already know this, but I'll say it again, not a single one of your winners is a song I dislike or even feel
@@kaleproject3495 Our lists are again not that much apart. I am happy to hear that you love or like all of my NF winners here. Likewise, I quite like all of yours too. Most of them are quite high on my lists, or at least well-appreciated.
This was an actually pretty good NF season! Some results were a bit, dare I say, idiotic (*Iceland*) but otherwise all good. My winners: Albania: Tiri Gjoci - Në Ëndërr Croatia: Baby Lasagna - Rim Tim Tagi Dim Czechia: Tom Sean - Dopamine Overdose Denmark: Ublu - Planetary Hearts Estonia: 5miinust&Puuluup - (Nendest) Narkootikumidest Ei Tea Me (küll) Midag Finland: Sara Siipola - Paskana Germany: Galant - Katze Iceland: Sunny - Fiðrildi Ireland: Ailsha - Go Tobann Italy: Irama - Tu No Latvia: Vēstulēs - Kur? Lithuania: Shower - Impossible Luxembourg: Krick - Drowning In The Rain Malta: Oxygyn - Cloudmaker Moldova: Reghina Alexandrina - Contrasens Norway: Gåte - Ulveham Portugal: Bispo - Casa Portuguesa San Marino: Won't rank it for my sanity's sake. Serbia: Hristina - Bedem Spain: María Peláe - Remitente Sweden: Jacqline - Effortless Ukraine: Yagody - Tsunamia Not many of my winners went on to actually win their respective NF, only 2 actually. In most selection, if anyone from my Top 5 wins, I'm happy and that was mainly the case this year so, I'm not too mad about the results. Iceland & Luxembourg do be testing my limits tho. Germany and Latvia were not bad choices per se, just rather disappointing, given the options available.
Tbf, even though you didn't get many winners actually chosen and we don't have *that* many agreements, you have picked songs that I love in the following non-shared, non-winning countries: Finland, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Moldova, Portugal, Serbia, Spain. If I want to pick out one of your "unusual" picks that I REALLY love, I'd like to put some focus on your Portugal pick. It NQing was ridiculous and it was such a good performance.
I've narrowed down Bispo's NQ to the older generations disliking this genre and with them being the majority of the voters, that became an issue. It was never a jury song, no matter how good it is- juries will always mark down rap, unfortunately. It's even weirder because, amongst the younger generations, aka mine, Bispo has perhaps the most established fanbase here! While we don't agree on many winners, I do enjoy most of your winners too. In particular, I had completely forgot "Sered Vitriv" by now and your list reminded me what an absolute jam it is!
Yeah, I read that Bispo has Ivandro on his record label or something. He sounds like a really big deal. I guess it is more of a demographic thing unfortunately. I'm glad to remind you of such a great song! Hopefully, Ukraine aren't going to try and pre-qualify acts to the final again. Actually, along with Estonia, I think it's clear that selectors should never be trusted to pre-qualify anyone!
My winners: Albania: Përsëritja Czechia: Out Of My Mind Germany: Oh Boy Denmark: Sand Estonia: (nendest) narkootikumidest ei tea me (küll) midagi Spain: Dos Extraños (Cuarteto de Cuerda) Finland: Glow Croatia: Rim Tim Tagi Dim Ireland: Go Tobann Iceland: Wild West Italy: Un ragazzo una ragazza Lithuania: Jigsaw Luxembourg: Finally Alive Latvia: Hollow Moldova: Another Universe Malta: Banana Norway: You're Mine Portugal: Grito Serbia: Duga je noć Sweden: Que sera Ukraine: Teresa and Maria
Denmark is the only one of these songs I don't like. Out of the lists of commenters' winners so far, I think this is one of my favourites. Jigsaw, You're Mine and Përsëritja are all really great choices.
Part of me was tempted to go with The Chase in Denmark because I really like the artist, but the song wasn't quite there. I'd rather she came back with something more in-keeping with her usual standard. I like your choices for Czechia and Latvia. Both would've been better than the songs that were actually picked.
Thanks so much, Duarte! I know your thoughts on my Portugal choice, so I wasn't expecting that to change! And you are right. We rarely have the same winners!

We don't agree that much, but I know that we gave really high marks to the most important song of the season. As long as we've both loving New Years, we're on the right page. ;)
Haha. Had me worried there when it started with a 45/100! It got better though! We actually have a lot of the same winners, which is great. And thanks for the compliment on the design! Means a lot coming from you since you literally have the nicest looking videos out of everyone that I watch regularly. ^^
Hi! That's been another great season! Here are my winners: Albania 🇦🇱: Luan Croatia 🇭🇷: Baby Lasagna Czechia 🇨🇿: MYDY Denmark 🇩🇰: Ublu Estonia 🇪🇪: Ollie Finland 🇫🇮: Cyan Kicks Germany 🇩🇪: Bodine Monet Iceland 🇮🇸: Sigga Ozk Ireland 🇮🇪: Ailsha Italy 🇮🇹: Angelina Mango Latvia 🇱🇻: Dons Lithuania 🇱🇹: The Roop Luxembourg 🇱🇺: Tali Malta 🇲🇹: Dominic Cini Moldova 🇲🇩: Reghina Alexandrina Norway 🇸🇯: Keiino Portugal 🇵🇹: Joao Borsch San Marino 🇸🇲: Megara Serbia 🇷🇸: Keni nije mrtav Spain 🇪🇦: Angy Fernandez Sweden 🇸🇪: Scarlet Ukraine 🇺🇦: Ziferblat So, in the end I got 5 winners and 4 runner-ups (Germany 🇩🇪, Ireland 🇮🇪, Iceland 🇮🇸, Norway 🇸🇯), which isn't bad at all! Overall, this year is pretty strong for me. The best NFs of the season for me were Eesti Laul 🇪🇪 and Benidorm Fest 🇪🇦 and the weakest one was, probably, Songvakeppnin 🇮🇸. It didn't have any terrible songs, but no great ones, none of them would have been in my top 10 of this year. Internally selected entries are also quite good, especially Belgium 🇧🇪, Netherlands 🇳🇱 and Austria 🇦🇹. Especially looking forward to Australian 🇦🇺 song!
Tfw we only share one winner! I also have five winners I believe, so not my best season, but not my worst either. Our Portugal winners are both still in with a chance, though I think yours is probably more likely than mine.
Love It, my Winners: 🇦🇱: Shpat Deda - S'mund t'fitoj pa ty 🇭🇷: Baby Lasagna - Rim Tim Tagi Dim 🇨🇿: Aiko - Pedestal 🇩🇰: Ublu - Planetary Hearts 🇪🇪: 5MIINUST, Puuluup - (nendest) narkootikumidest ei tea me (küll) midagi 🇫🇮: Jesse Markin - Glow 🇩🇪: Ryk - Oh Boy 🇮🇸: Blanklflúr - Sjá pig 🇮🇪: Bambie Thug - Doomsday Blue 🇮🇹: Annalisa - Sinceramente 🇱🇻: Vēstulēs - Kur? 🇱🇹: The Roop - Simple Joy 🇱🇺: Krick - Drowing In The Rain 🇲🇹: Sarah Bonnici - Loop 🇲🇩: Iulia Teleuca - Runaway 🇳🇴: Gåte - Ulveham 🇵🇹: Leo Middea - Doce Mistério 🇸🇲: Loredana Bertè - Pazza 🇷🇸: Breskvica - Gnezdo orvolo 🇪🇸: St Pedro - Dos Extranos 🇸🇪: SCARLET - Circus X 🇺🇦: Ziferblast - Place I Call Home
Four shared winners isn't bad, and I think there's a lot of selections where your winner was either my second place or, in bigger selections, my third place. I think almost all of your choices are rated 5.0 or above by me, apart from Denmark and Norway.
This NF season was actually pretty good for me. Some of my winners actually won and only a few flopped miserably in the results 🇦🇱: Zgjohu (?th) 🇭🇷: Dijamanti (10th) 🇨🇿: Good Enough (5th) 🇩🇰: Sand ✅ 🇪🇪: Serotoniin (5th) 🇫🇮: Paskana (2nd) 🇩🇪: Naiv (6th) 🇮🇸: Sjá Þig (NQ) 🇮🇪: Go Tobann (2nd) 🇮🇹: Sinceramente (3rd) 🇱🇻: Mine (8th) 🇱🇹: Unlove You Starting Tomorrow (5th) 🇱🇺: Drowning In The Rain (2nd) 🇲🇹: Loop ✅ 🇲🇩: In The Middle ✅ 🇳🇴: Oblivion (7th) 🇵🇹: Teorias Da Conspiraçao (TBA) 🇸🇲: The Last Polar Bear (7th) 🇷🇸: Bedem (10th) 🇪🇸: Zorra ✅ 🇸🇪: Forever Yours (NQ) 🇺🇦: Palala (8th) And with Poland’s weird internal selection with published results, my favourite was WITCH-ER Taro Horo by Justyna
The sad thing is, that the winners you actually got, are all pretty likely not to do well at Eurovision itself. You had some really good choices, too. I'm liking Lithuania, Ireland, Serbia, Finland and Luxembourg (obviously). I haven't been through ALL the Polish internal selection yet, but I much prefer Witch-er over The Tower, so we'll see if that holds up when I get around to it. ;)
You're pretty fast. Here are my personal winners of the selections I followed: 🇭🇷 *Rim Tim Tagi Dim* (HM: Lying Eyes) 🇨🇿 *Good Enough* (unpopular opinion, I know) 🇩🇰 *Planetary Hearts* (why is this so overlooked?) 🇪🇪 *My Friend* (NNETMKM is extremely close) 🇫🇮 *Glow/Paskana* (cannot decide) 🇩🇪 *Oh Boy* 🇮🇸 *Wild West* (stupid politics...) 🇮🇪 *Doomsday Blue* 🇮🇹 *Tuta gold* (I have 6-7 winners actually) 🇱🇻 *Hollow* 🇱🇹 *Luktelk* (only finalists) 🇱🇺 *Drowning In The Rain* (used to be 'Fighter') 🇲🇹 *Mara* (only finalists) 🇧🇻 *Ulveham* 🇵🇹 *Grito* 🇷🇸 *Ramonda* (HM: Lik u ogledalu) 🇪🇦 *Dos Extraños (Cuarteto de cuerda)* 🇸🇪 *Unforgettable* 🇺🇦 *Tsunamia* (need to rethink this one) This was another amazing Eurovision season. Ranking my top 40 will be a hard task for sure.
Fast because I'm really on the ball? Or fast because I'm really avoiding working on my San Marino top? You decide! We have, by the looks of it, nine shared winners...which is a really high amount. You also have picked some high-ranked songs of mine where they weren't my winner such as Estonia, Iceland, Italy and Portugal. Honestly, we're not a million miles apart and yes, eliminated songs list this year is going to be TOUGH.
@kaleproject3495 To be fair, I do think that eliminated songs from 2022-3 were stronger overall. Maybe it's because this year more countries made the right choice.
Possibly. I'll know for sure when I complete my top 50 eliminated song list. Usually, the lower positions in that list are songs I've rated 7.5/10.0....I wonder how many of them I'll need to fill it out this year?
*albania* decent but I like others song ! *croatia* obviously *czechia* it is boring to me *denmark* I really like it !! It's so catchy *Estonia* no *Finland* as I said before: the weakest song *Germany* great but not impactful enough *iceland* good intentions but not strong enough *ireland* awful *italy* amazing !!! *latvia* it's actually good *lithuania* not a big fan *luxembourg* good but lack of something *malta* ICON !!!!! But Sarah was better *moldova* not good *norway* LEGEND !!! IT'S PERFECT *portugal* this so goooood *san marino* first time I heard this song ! It's good ! *serbia* good but not a stand out imo *spain* don't like it *sweden* queeeeen !! I love it sooooo much *ukraine* HE WAS ROBBED !!!!!!!!!!!! Clearly the best from wildcard !!! Honestly I didn't follow that much this year's Season as I work a lot in my studies so I'm not able to watch all the full songs ! So most of the song here I have listened to them only once or twice but I would love to listen to them more or just fully listen to some of them
A couple of these stood out to me. Malta is an interesting one as, obviously based on live performance, Sarah was the choice. Yet, Denise was very sick. It's hard to say what would have happened, as, during the audition/semi final show....both Denise and Sarah were clearly ahead of the others as live performers. It might've been close if both had been healthy. And yeah, I didn't understand the wildcard round of the Ukraine. Why send only one song? And how did so many bad songs end up in the final ahead of much better ones in the wild card? I hope you get a chance to go back over some of the songs when you have more free time. It was a good NF season!
wow what a different taste, i've never seen someone prefer some of the songs you've put in here. 100% respect and 95% disagree on your choices!
Thanks so much! I really appreciate the respectful comment and am more than ok with a bit of disagreement!

okaaay we agree on Oh Boy, Sja Þig, Doomsday Blue and Ramonda
interesting choices overall!
Thanks so much!
Sja Þig is a good one to be in agreement about, as I'm not seeing it ranked highly much elsewhere. ;;
Most of the artists that I passionately wanted to win like Gate, Baby Lasagna, and Angelina Mango did win. The only exception to this is Ollie in Estonia though I didn't expect him to win. Overall, a pretty solid national final season
I have to admit, the ones that I *really* wanted to win, actually did end up doing so. I think Spain and Luxembourg were the big exceptions and they took place quite early on, so it definitely got better.

And the design looks good, too ❤❤
Haha. Had me worried there when it started with a 45/100! It got better though! We actually have a lot of the same winners, which is great.
And thanks for the compliment on the design! Means a lot coming from you since you literally have the nicest looking videos out of everyone that I watch regularly. ^^
Hi! That's been another great season! Here are my winners:
Albania 🇦🇱: Luan
Croatia 🇭🇷: Baby Lasagna
Czechia 🇨🇿: MYDY
Denmark 🇩🇰: Ublu
Estonia 🇪🇪: Ollie
Finland 🇫🇮: Cyan Kicks
Germany 🇩🇪: Bodine Monet
Iceland 🇮🇸: Sigga Ozk
Ireland 🇮🇪: Ailsha
Italy 🇮🇹: Angelina Mango
Latvia 🇱🇻: Dons
Lithuania 🇱🇹: The Roop
Luxembourg 🇱🇺: Tali
Malta 🇲🇹: Dominic Cini
Moldova 🇲🇩: Reghina Alexandrina
Norway 🇸🇯: Keiino
Portugal 🇵🇹: Joao Borsch
San Marino 🇸🇲: Megara
Serbia 🇷🇸: Keni nije mrtav
Spain 🇪🇦: Angy Fernandez
Sweden 🇸🇪: Scarlet
Ukraine 🇺🇦: Ziferblat
So, in the end I got 5 winners and 4 runner-ups (Germany 🇩🇪, Ireland 🇮🇪, Iceland 🇮🇸, Norway 🇸🇯), which isn't bad at all!
Overall, this year is pretty strong for me. The best NFs of the season for me were Eesti Laul 🇪🇪 and Benidorm Fest 🇪🇦 and the weakest one was, probably, Songvakeppnin 🇮🇸. It didn't have any terrible songs, but no great ones, none of them would have been in my top 10 of this year.
Internally selected entries are also quite good, especially Belgium 🇧🇪, Netherlands 🇳🇱 and Austria 🇦🇹. Especially looking forward to Australian 🇦🇺 song!
Tfw we only share one winner! I also have five winners I believe, so not my best season, but not my worst either.
Our Portugal winners are both still in with a chance, though I think yours is probably more likely than mine.
Love It, my Winners:

Four shared winners isn't bad, and I think there's a lot of selections where your winner was either my second place or, in bigger selections, my third place. I think almost all of your choices are rated 5.0 or above by me, apart from Denmark and Norway.
This NF season was actually pretty good for me. Some of my winners actually won and only a few flopped miserably in the results
🇦🇱: Zgjohu (?th)
🇭🇷: Dijamanti (10th)
🇨🇿: Good Enough (5th)
🇩🇰: Sand ✅
🇪🇪: Serotoniin (5th)
🇫🇮: Paskana (2nd)
🇩🇪: Naiv (6th)
🇮🇸: Sjá Þig (NQ)
🇮🇪: Go Tobann (2nd)
🇮🇹: Sinceramente (3rd)
🇱🇻: Mine (8th)
🇱🇹: Unlove You Starting Tomorrow (5th)
🇱🇺: Drowning In The Rain (2nd)
🇲🇹: Loop ✅
🇲🇩: In The Middle ✅
🇳🇴: Oblivion (7th)
🇵🇹: Teorias Da Conspiraçao (TBA)
🇸🇲: The Last Polar Bear (7th)
🇷🇸: Bedem (10th)
🇪🇸: Zorra ✅
🇸🇪: Forever Yours (NQ)
🇺🇦: Palala (8th)
And with Poland’s weird internal selection with published results, my favourite was WITCH-ER Taro Horo by Justyna
The sad thing is, that the winners you actually got, are all pretty likely not to do well at Eurovision itself. You had some really good choices, too. I'm liking Lithuania, Ireland, Serbia, Finland and Luxembourg (obviously).
I haven't been through ALL the Polish internal selection yet, but I much prefer Witch-er over The Tower, so we'll see if that holds up when I get around to it. ;)

You're pretty fast. Here are my personal winners of the selections I followed:
🇭🇷 *Rim Tim Tagi Dim* (HM: Lying Eyes)
🇨🇿 *Good Enough* (unpopular opinion, I know)
🇩🇰 *Planetary Hearts* (why is this so overlooked?)

🇫🇮 *Glow/Paskana* (cannot decide)
🇩🇪 *Oh Boy*
🇮🇸 *Wild West* (stupid politics...)

🇪🇦 *Dos Extraños (Cuarteto de cuerda)*
🇸🇪 *Unforgettable*
🇺🇦 *Tsunamia* (need to rethink this one)
This was another amazing Eurovision season. Ranking my top 40 will be a hard task for sure.
Fast because I'm really on the ball? Or fast because I'm really avoiding working on my San Marino top? You decide!
We have, by the looks of it, nine shared winners...which is a really high amount. You also have picked some high-ranked songs of mine where they weren't my winner such as Estonia, Iceland, Italy and Portugal.
Honestly, we're not a million miles apart and yes, eliminated songs list this year is going to be TOUGH.
@kaleproject3495 To be fair, I do think that eliminated songs from 2022-3 were stronger overall. Maybe it's because this year more countries made the right choice.
Possibly. I'll know for sure when I complete my top 50 eliminated song list. Usually, the lower positions in that list are songs I've rated 7.5/10.0....I wonder how many of them I'll need to fill it out this year?
*albania* decent but I like others song !
*croatia* obviously
*czechia* it is boring to me
*denmark* I really like it !! It's so catchy
*Estonia* no
*Finland* as I said before: the weakest song
*Germany* great but not impactful enough
*iceland* good intentions but not strong enough
*ireland* awful
*italy* amazing !!!
*latvia* it's actually good
*lithuania* not a big fan
*luxembourg* good but lack of something
*malta* ICON !!!!! But Sarah was better
*moldova* not good
*norway* LEGEND !!! IT'S PERFECT
*portugal* this so goooood
*san marino* first time I heard this song ! It's good !
*serbia* good but not a stand out imo
*spain* don't like it
*sweden* queeeeen !! I love it sooooo much
*ukraine* HE WAS ROBBED !!!!!!!!!!!! Clearly the best from wildcard !!!
Honestly I didn't follow that much this year's Season as I work a lot in my studies so I'm not able to watch all the full songs ! So most of the song here I have listened to them only once or twice but I would love to listen to them more or just fully listen to some of them
A couple of these stood out to me. Malta is an interesting one as, obviously based on live performance, Sarah was the choice. Yet, Denise was very sick. It's hard to say what would have happened, as, during the audition/semi final show....both Denise and Sarah were clearly ahead of the others as live performers. It might've been close if both had been healthy.
And yeah, I didn't understand the wildcard round of the Ukraine. Why send only one song? And how did so many bad songs end up in the final ahead of much better ones in the wild card?
I hope you get a chance to go back over some of the songs when you have more free time. It was a good NF season!
