Quite different version of last year’s winner. At least it still has the flutes.

And there’s the obligatory Verka. Personally, I would have preferred hearing all of Shum again, though. I really liked it two years ago.

Austria probably has the second catchiest chorus of the evening. And the background visuals are amusing. But I think we can quoth the raven about their chances of winning with this one.

Portugal has rhythm and is very red. They also seem to share Spain’s love for hearts.

Switzerland’s entry sounds a lot like several different entries from earlier years.

Poland has a reasonably catchy summer song with a tacked on dance number.

Serbia has poor man’s Trent Reznor. With a poor man’s Gundam animation.

And the tallest dress award goes to France. The song itself sounds like a very generic French affair, sorry. Builds a little towards the end, but not enough.

Cyprus still relies mainly on the male gaze. Only this time it’s for gay men instead of straight ones. The song itself reminds me way too much of Duncan Laurence’s Arcade from a few years ago with those whooo-oooo-oooos.

Spain was certainly different. I would have expected something like this more from the Eastern European countries.

Sweden is one of the biggest front runners for the winner, and Loreen is unquestionably a great performer, but the whole thing feels perhaps a bit too calculated, and the song still isn’t quite on the same level with Euphoria. And those nails…

Albania brings in the whole family business, literally. Song isn’t bad, but not a winner, either.

Finland’s entry starts up like a poor man’s Rammstein pastiche, but it has the catchiest chorus of them all this year, and the performance gets even crazier towards the end. The pink human centipede…

Yeah, it’s not technically the best singing, but the crowd does seem to love it.

Czechia has a great style with the all pink outfits and the killer ponytails, but I wish they would have left out the gratuitous English from the song.

Australia, everyone’s favourite honorary Europeans, with a decent synth rock song. And a car on stage.

Belgium has a big hat, and the song isn’t terrible, but it’s an utterly average Eurovision fare that comes thirteen to a dozen.

Armenia has a dance number interlude, too. And tilts the entire stage.

Moldova often sends in my favourite performances, and this year is no exception. The costumes! The horn hairdos! The epic flute faun!
