What a tune! Congrats !!

I never do snippets. I really don’t understand why broadcasters use those. It really doesn’t give a great idea of the song at all! :)

I feel this one too!!

That would be amazing 🤩

With a different result, yes!

Oh, How we miss Bosnia and Herzegovina in the contest…! I don’t expect them on the participant list though 😓

Haha I fully agree, but most of them really improved live. I’m such a sucker for these Balkan songs anyway.

Yup 😀

And I was quite pleased with the show. The quality was much higher than I anticipated! They can be proud. And got me hyped for the NF season!!

Almost same top 5 here but in a different order. I would swap Baryak for Milena. 😃

Yeah there are a few options but she is my pick as well! 🇲🇪

The most polished so far and can easily see it improve over the months. I can picture it on the Eurovision stage for sure.

Agreed 👍🏼

Have fun! I’m ready too. Like, really ready. Let’s go!

So going internal this year are: (including the year of their last NF)

Czechia: 2024
Georgia: 2023
Australia: 2022
France: 2022
UK: 2019
Switzerland: 2018
Austria 2016
Cyprus: 2015
Azerbaijan: 2014
Netherlands: 2012

Meaning the Dutch have gone the longest without holding a NF!

So this means we will have 27 national finals for 2025 confirmed as of today.

2025: 27
2024: 23
2023: 25
2022: 27
2021: 14
2020: 25
2019: 28
2018: 30
2017: 27
2016: 27

National final season is my favorite..! So with that starting next week, I was thinking…

Without ESCZ, but with the national finals in Montenegro, Belgium, Greece, Poland and Slovenia we have 4 more compared to the previous season.

Am I forgetting anything?

After the sh*t show that was 2024 I was uncertain how I would approach the new season. But in all honesty I’m more excited and ready than ever. 💪🏼

From X to Threads to Bluesky… mainly here for interaction about Eurovision. Feel free to follow!

Will do, you’re amazing thanks!

I’d love to be added if still possible. Thank you so much for setting this up! 🙏🏼
