My top 10 in random order: Portugal Spain Italy Germany Denmark Hungary Montenegro Albania Greece Estonia Almost in my top 10: Belgium Lithuania Bulgaria Georgia Serbia
Great video as always! I'm actually surprised at how good the songs are this year, it makes it incredibly hard to put together a top 10, let alone rank them! FYR MACEDONIA has been a BIG grower on me, I really enjoy the different genres too. AUSTRALIA, BULGARIA and RUSSIA have grown on me a lot too.
My top (in case the countries survive the Semi Finals) - and without a ranking order: Austria Germany Spain F.Y.R. Macedonia Greece or Bulgaria France Israel Italy Cyprus Estonia
My top ten is: Estonia Latvia France F.R.Y Macedonia Belgium Switzerland (Get ready to get shocked) the uk Spain Ukraine Portugal Honourable mentions Germany,Italy and Belgium
I like these song , as all songs !!! Becasue this year is full in a lost of great songs - but in my top could be in random order (from UK) : POLAND (my favourite) , MALTA, FRANCE, FINLAND, UKRAINE,RUSSIA, CZECH REPUBLIC, SWEDEN, AUSTRALIA AND it could be few songs - BELGIUM, PORTUGAL, SPAIN . GEORGIA song is absolutely not modern old type song - I cant udenrstand why countries send to ESC such types of songs - ( it was good 20 years ago....)
My top 10 are (in no particular order): 1. Italy 2. Malta 3. Norway 4. Poland 5. France 6. Spain 7. Portugal 8. Macedonia 9. Estonia 10. Ukraine Also really like Greece, Lithuania, Finland, Armenia, Bulgaria and Australia, so this was tough!
Great to see you have The Netherlands in your top 10... all ESC-fans that did a reaction were positive(except Wiwibloggs, but they never are at Dutch entries xD). Outlaw In Em isn't really appreciated in the ESC-scene, but I knew that after Waylon was selected. I think people really underestimate him, I wouldn't be surprised if he finishes top 10. For me it's the first time i'm not worried about qualifying.
Im so glad that Georgia is on your list. I love that song too! My top 10: 1. Israel (so modern, so funny, but still with a meaning) 2. Montenegro (the lyrics and the mood of the song is just brilliant) 3. Italy (so good lyrics and cool song) 4. Georgia (just great that songs like this is in the ESC) 5. Hungary (great lyrics, feels real) 6. Greece (best entry from greece since Mariana Zorba 1997) 7. Estonia (magic song) 8. Portugal (soo cool vibes, down to earth) 9. Spain (Sweet like a Disney ballad) 10. Lithuania (I just love the lyrics and the down to earth singer. Sweet and melancolic)
My top 20 is always fluctuating and one song can go from 18 to 9 in only one day, haha 1. Estonia (Never change) 2. FYR Macedonia (Also, never change) 3. Georgia (A surprise for everyone) 4. Latvia (Not quite a loved song) 5. Italy (It can go between 3rd and 5th place) 6. Moldova (Definitely a not loved song) 7. Croatia 8. Lithuania (Underrated in my opinion) 9. Greece (I love it, and it was once my number one) 10. Hungary. ------ (Under this point are songs I could put easily iny top 10) -Switzerland -Spain -Germany -Bulgaria -Denmark -Belgium -Poland -Ukraine -Finland It's so difficult to make a top, haha
HI Matt & all the guys! It's so good to see you are all well & ready for another exciting competition this year. There are so many good and diverse songs this year that I cant even do a top 10 list. Looking forward to seeing all the countries perform live and also listening to your live rehearsal videos again. Just hope I can stay awake until 4am again!! lool
I feel you on FYR Macedonia's song, Matt. It's very addicting in the sense I can't get enough of it. It's just so darn amazing. Her vocals are flawless, the genre mix... dark horse?
Like your list (7/10). It´s all about music. By the way - Great, that you put Georgia in. My Top 10: Austria Netherlands FYR Macedonia Croatia Switzerland Italy Israel Slovenia Belgium Greece
Switzerland ❤️❤️❤️ This is the first year since I started following Eurovision when I really love a song so much that I constantly listen to it in my free time
Germany, Switzerland, Georgia, Italy and The Netherlands are also some of my big favourites! I also expected France to be there but it's ok :D Also my favourite is Lithuania
My top 10 (not including Finland, because it is my country). 1. Estonia 2. France 3. Switzerland 4. Czech Republic 5. Austria 6. Netherlands 7. Albania 8. Cyprus 9. Denmark 10. Greece
Croatia, The Netherlands, Switzerland... This is AWESOME! Actually is the first time I agree with the vast majority of songs you've chosen for the top10
My Top 10 in the Eurovision 2018 is: 10 th Place: Spain, 9 th Place : France, 8 th Place : Belarus, 7 th Place : The Czech Republic, 6 th Place : The United Kingdom, 5 th Place : Sweden, 4 th Place : Ukraine, 3 rd Place : Norway, 2. Place : Finland, 1 . Place : Israel I like the Entry Michael Schulte from my Home Country Germany too but it's a tough ESC Year that's Why i don't have Germany in my Top 10, but for me it's really close to the Top 10 Spots. For me is" You let me Walk alone " in 11 th Place at the moment, we'll see how it'll working in the Grand Final.
I like how you talk about the songs. And how you came to this list. You explain it well musically and by gut feeling. You talk about delivery, chord progression, bridges etc. not many song festival reviews are that musically based. By the way: why did you not mention Belarus??? It is the best song.
Cyprus - Fuego Portugal - Jardim Macedonia - Lost and Found Ukraine - Under the Ladder Germany - You let Me Walk Alone France - Mercy Malta - Taboo Sweden - Dance you off Italy - Non Me avete fatto niente United Kindom - Storm Also > Estonia - La Forza Switzerland - Stones Georgia - For you
Thanks so very much, for your insights about Eurovision Song, 2018, in Lisbon, Portugal. The colors of the rainbow, are so pretty in the sky. Life is not about black and white, therefore, is so much color out there to keep this melody, motivated for life!!! In this regard, and with all my do respect for all of us, the host's entering song, "The Garden", Portugal, that song touches us all emotionally, more so, in how Claudia sang the song, where words alone connects the soul, becomes a sort of spirit, and never dies. Their lyrics, expresses that which cannot be said, and on which it is impossible to be silent!!! When there’s feelings, not many words are needed to express our emotions!!! My honestly thoughts about it, and all master notes, likelihood to achieve best 10, next May 12!!! Best of luck, Portugal!!!
I agree with you in so many and so underrated ones as Georgia, Macedonia, Switzerland and Croatia. My favourites now: Albania, Italy, Israel, Georgia, Belorus, Macedonia, Switzerland, Croatia, Belgium and my beloved Spain.....
YAY Another person in the USA like me in favor of the Swiss entry. ITS SO GOOD!!! I'm not sure why either its not doing so well in the fan polls or in the betting odds because its my favourite song this year. I think that their campaign has been good though, getting plenty of time singing the song, practicing it in front of so many different audiences I really am hoping for this song to reach the finals. The driving beat of it is so infectious and I defy anyone to not bob their head along with the song.
MY TOP 10 IS: 1. ISRAEL - TOY 2. CZECH REPUBLIC - Lie To Me 3. UNITED KINGDOM - Storm 4. BELGUIM - A Matter Of Time 5. AUSTRALIA - We Got Love 6. BULGARIA - Bones 7. SWEDEN - Dance You Off 8. CYPRUS - Fuego 9. FINLAND - Monsters 10. NORWAY - That's How You Write A Song
70% match - so good to find someone who gets this year's Eurovision the way I do. Would have had only Denmark, Albania and Belgium instead of Switzerland, Croatia, Macedonia. And I couldn't agree more about your views on the amazing Italy since 2011, and Balkan ballads - Želiko Joksimovic woz robbed! Finally, I think Netta will sadly go the way of Occidentalis Karma last year; riding high in all the polls until the rehearsals, when a Portugal-2017-style dark horse will emerge to take us all by surprise. Great channel, cheers!
My top 10: 1. Israel - creative and fun 2. Spain - magical 3. French - elegant 4. Czech Republic - current 5. Belgium - great vocals 6. Estonia - amazing 7. Greece - beautiful 8. Italy - nice msg 9. Bulgaria- love it 10. Germany- touching Sorry if I forgot your country. Competition is brutal this year!
I am team Matt this year :-) I have my top 6 and the rest for Eurovision 2018. My top 6 are Italy, Albania, Estonia, Israel, Georgia and Austria. Would never think that there is another person out there who would have 5 out of my top 6 in his top ranking as well. Having said so my guilty pleasure is Ukraine and I think Matt is not keen on that one. So we are not twins separated at birth just yet
My favourite 2018 Italy the Netherlands Albania Czech Republic Cyprus Austria Portugal Hungary and of course Germany and Greece without any order I love all of them. ❤️❤️❤️
By the time you reached your 9th song, I was like 'Is he freakin' kidding me?! Is he leaving EVERY song in my top 10 out of his on purpose?!'. I'm joking, of course, but we do only have 2 songs in common in our top 10 and, ironically, you mentioned them last 🤣. That fact speaks of course of our different musical tastes, but more importantly I think it speaks of the high quality of this year's selection. I commented on another of your videos, I may have to include 15 songs in my top 10, I can't decide! 😂😂😂. I did scratch my head at some of your choices (as I'm sure you'd scratch yours at some of mine), but France and Cyprus not even getting honorable mentions is just insane! 😁
Daniel Ely Cyprus is fun but doesn't stand out enough IMO. France also has a good song but they lose me at the end when it gets too repetitive. But I truly have only a handful of songs I dislike this year which will be revealed in my upcoming Bottom 5 video.
My top 10 10. Finland 9. Ukraine 8. Israel 7. Cyprus 6. Lithuania 5. Spain 4. Moldova 3. Bulgaria 2. Estonia 1. Germany Almost in my top 10 Malta Portugal Belgium Switzerland Australia Hungary (FYR Macedonia was in my top 10 before the live shows.... but then they happened.....)
I'm so happy to see Georgia in someone's Top.10, it's such wonderful song sung in native language. Sadly, this kind of songs will never be appreciated in Eurovision!! :((( Greetings from Macedonia, Matt. Thank you for your 1st place! :))))
My Top.10 is slightly different, but this is my music taste. 01.Hungary 02.Georgia 03.Belgium 04.The Netherlands 05.Israel 06.Italy 07.Denmark 08.Belarus 09.Albania 10.Spain
My prediction for the TOP 10: 01. Italy -> Melody, voice, lyrics, feeling, all in one song. 02. Estonia -> Amazing voice combined with beautiful melody. 03. France -> Rhythm, lyrics, it stays in your mind. 04. Israel -> Lady Gaga East Europe style loved by teenagers (not by me). 05. Greece -> Mystical with beautiful meaning and character. 06. Belgium -> A beautiful contemporary song with character. 07. Bulgaria -> Also a beautiful contemporary song. 08. Czech Republic -> Justin Timberlake style loved by teenagers (not by me). 09. Ukraine -> Eurovision style song with a catchy refrain. 10. Germany -> A Fray style song with a beautiful melody and meaning. Honorable mention : Albania -> A great song with the best male voice. One of the best songs this year but only for my personal taste i am afraid.
They recognized the quality of the Georgian song from 2016 when everyone talked that they would finished last in semi final, so i don't worry for the Georgia this year. I already see them in final! :)
I loved your opinion on Italy,for me, they're also winning Eurovision even without actually win,my absolute favourite this year.Macedonia is my second,what a great,catchy song.
It's funny to see people disliking videos, just because of different opinions. ITS a shame. You Guys should feel ashamed. By the way.... Georgia is actually really good! ITS underrated.
Good to see that Italy, Germany and Austria is on your Top 10.But I am a bit said that Albania is not there. :-( Also I know Sweden is a random song for you, However, I still think Sweden will do well in Lisbon :-)
Italy - my 12 points Georgia deserves higher ranking, I'll be glad to hear thay qualified Netherlands & Switzerland - not for me. sorry Germany - a great singer, boring song Croatia is a country that I like, not this time :( Spain is one of my favourite, great culture and tradition, I like the Spanish language, but a lullaby is a disappointment to me Austria - a great song and a charismatic singer, although mediocre Israel - I'm biased ofcourse, I'm hooked Estonia is great but I eigher don't play it at all Armenia is my huge surprise, 10 points from me Macedonia - is a refreshing entry, I love it Thank you
For sure in My Top 10: - The triumvirate: Austria, Estonia and Hungary. - Australia. - The Netherlands. - Belgium. - Switzerland. - Ireland. Still to be decided but can potentially end in my Top 10 or near it: - Bulgaria. - Armenia. - Poland. - France. - Malta. - Montenegro. - Latvia.
Well...Georgia Switzerland??? Y Spain 4? And Greece Estonia and Bulgaria outside??? Well I dont know. I dont agree but thats good I think. Heje. Good luck to everyone.
Carlos Ramon Duo jeje. Bueno no soy español, soy griego. Y no soy fan de OT aunque lo veía con mi pareja. Aun así, voté para Arde de Aitana, aunque en realidad no me encantaba ninguno (me gustaba mucho Aitana). Lo que pasa es que la canción según mi opinión no tiene nada para destacarse. Es una canción muy bonita pero normal y corriente sin más (dejando al lado el hecho que Amaia en OT me gustaba mucho y canta genial, hecho que en esta canción no se ve mucho).
Konstantinos20 bueno, para gustos colores si te soy sincero yo tambien vote arde pero me gusta mucho esta tambien, todo se decidirá con el directo y la puesta en escena. Yo le augurio un buen lugar

I feel you on FYR Macedonia's song, Matt. It's very addicting in the sense I can't get enough of it. It's just so darn amazing. Her vocals are flawless, the genre mix... dark horse?
I know right? There just is something about this song....For now, I'm just focused on qualification, it's a tough Semi so I'm really worried.
Agreed. I really, really hope they'll qualify!
Just because it's small country, that doesn't mean that we don't have a chance to qualify in final. Never say never! :)

Would never think that there is another person out there who would have 5 out of my top 6 in his top ranking as well. Having said so my guilty pleasure is Ukraine and I think Matt is not keen on that one. So we are not twins separated at birth just yet
Team Matt. Please vote for me in Lisbon!!!!! For the record, I like Albania as well so I approve of your top.
Ukraine's entry/participant is awesome singer and performer and really hot :-)
My favourite 2018 Italy the Netherlands Albania Czech Republic Cyprus Austria Portugal Hungary and of course Germany and Greece without any order I love all of them. ❤️❤️❤️
germany ...im indonesian...i just luv this kind of music...it so good to my ears...its fantastic..
By the time you reached your 9th song, I was like 'Is he freakin' kidding me?! Is he leaving EVERY song in my top 10 out of his on purpose?!'. I'm joking, of course, but we do only have 2 songs in common in our top 10 and, ironically, you mentioned them last 🤣. That fact speaks of course of our different musical tastes, but more importantly I think it speaks of the high quality of this year's selection. I commented on another of your videos, I may have to include 15 songs in my top 10, I can't decide! 😂😂😂.
I did scratch my head at some of your choices (as I'm sure you'd scratch yours at some of mine), but France and Cyprus not even getting honorable mentions is just insane! 😁
Daniel Ely Cyprus is fun but doesn't stand out enough IMO. France also has a good song but they lose me at the end when it gets too repetitive. But I truly have only a handful of songs I dislike this year which will be revealed in my upcoming Bottom 5 video.
ESCunited looking forward to that! 3 of my bottom 5 won't be in yours, since they were mentioned in this video :), so I'm curious

Italian song...the best ever in esc ❤❤❤❤
I'm so happy to see Georgia in someone's Top.10, it's such wonderful song sung in native language. Sadly, this kind of songs will never be appreciated in Eurovision!! :(((

My prediction for the TOP 10:

02. Estonia -> Amazing voice combined with beautiful melody.
03. France -> Rhythm, lyrics, it stays in your mind.
04. Israel -> Lady Gaga East Europe style loved by teenagers (not by me).
05. Greece -> Mystical with beautiful meaning and character.
06. Belgium -> A beautiful contemporary song with character.
07. Bulgaria -> Also a beautiful contemporary song.
08. Czech Republic -> Justin Timberlake style loved by teenagers (not by me).
09. Ukraine -> Eurovision style song with a catchy refrain.
10. Germany -> A Fray style song with a beautiful melody and meaning.
Honorable mention : Albania -> A great song with the best male voice. One of the best songs this year but only for my personal taste i am afraid.
I hope God hears you, Italy and Estonia are my top 2 but Estonia is my favourite.

Nvard Nvard finally someone that likes Ukraine here!
Georgia is so underrated. What a beautiful song! It's not a boring ballad.
Strongly agree. Very intricate and I hope the juries will recognize the quality of the entry.
They recognized the quality of the Georgian song from 2016 when everyone talked that they would finished last in semi final, so i don't worry for the Georgia this year. I already see them in final! :)
I loved your opinion on Italy,for me, they're also winning Eurovision even without actually win,my absolute favourite this year.Macedonia is my second,what a great,catchy song.
love FYRM!!!!!!!!!! Put BG in your top10 and we agree 100%

You're voting just like my dad. :D I could've predicted your preferred songs since you're of the older generations.
I'm not that old.......certainly not old enough to be your dad.....I think.....
Spain and Austria my winners!!!!
Yes, finally someone who loves the entry from Georgia. I really don't get why this song isn't liked more. It is so beautiful and unusual.
My top 5
1. Spain
2. Germany
3. Switzerland
4. Finland (my own country)
5. Czech Rebublic
It's funny to see people disliking videos, just because of different opinions. ITS a shame. You Guys should feel ashamed. By the way.... Georgia is actually really good! ITS underrated.
Musicc 9. you are right
I know georgia is a good song but...he puts croatia?! de hack?!
Thank you from ISRAEL!! ❤️🇮🇱❤️🎉
totally agree on fyrom...i am totally addicted to this song
Thank you!!! Love from Israel 🇮🇱 ❤️
Good to see you appreciate the Italian, Georgian and Montenegrin entries. ♥
Good to see that Italy, Germany and Austria is on your Top 10.But I am a bit said that Albania is not there. :-( Also I know Sweden is a random song for you, However, I still think Sweden will do well in Lisbon :-)
Stefan Chang of course it will, it's Sweden! They have good music and are popular on Eurovision
True Sweden= definitely qualify into the Eurovision final and make a good result in the end. ^.^
Italy - my 12 points
Georgia deserves higher ranking, I'll be glad to hear thay qualified
Netherlands & Switzerland - not for me. sorry
Germany - a great singer, boring song
Croatia is a country that I like, not this time :(
Spain is one of my favourite, great culture and tradition, I like the Spanish language, but a lullaby is a disappointment to me
Austria - a great song and a charismatic singer, although mediocre
Israel - I'm biased ofcourse, I'm hooked
Estonia is great but I eigher don't play it at all
Armenia is my huge surprise, 10 points from me
Macedonia - is a refreshing entry, I love it
Thank you
the more i listen to the georgian song the more i like it! it's great
Ese momento en el que miras los tops de la gente y ninguno incluye a España😂😭😭
Georgia is in my Top 10, too. Can't wait to hear it live (it could be this year's Common Linnets).
For sure in My Top 10:
- The triumvirate: Austria, Estonia and Hungary.
- Australia.
- The Netherlands.
- Belgium.
- Switzerland.
- Ireland.
Still to be decided but can potentially end in my Top 10 or near it:
- Bulgaria.
- Armenia.
- Poland.
- France.
- Malta.
- Montenegro.
- Latvia.
Bulgaria??????????
nikita obvly😍😍😍
Bulgaria is good
I forgot the s . Very solid and robust comments. With my agreements and disagreements I thank you and I congrats you.
Well...Georgia Switzerland??? Y Spain 4? And Greece Estonia and Bulgaria outside??? Well I dont know. I dont agree but thats good I think. Heje. Good luck to everyone.
Konstantinos20 España esta muy bien aunque por el "Y" que se te ha escapado diría que eres español y no eres fan de OT asique bueno
Carlos Ramon Duo jeje. Bueno no soy español, soy griego. Y no soy fan de OT aunque lo veía con mi pareja. Aun así, voté para Arde de Aitana, aunque en realidad no me encantaba ninguno (me gustaba mucho Aitana). Lo que pasa es que la canción según mi opinión no tiene nada para destacarse. Es una canción muy bonita pero normal y corriente sin más (dejando al lado el hecho que Amaia en OT me gustaba mucho y canta genial, hecho que en esta canción no se ve mucho).
Konstantinos20 bueno, para gustos colores si te soy sincero yo tambien vote arde pero me gusta mucho esta tambien, todo se decidirá con el directo y la puesta en escena. Yo le augurio un buen lugar
Carlos Ramon Duo ojalá. Suerte a todos 🤗🤗
