With my evaluations having ended (Saturday), here are my top 10; and as always, I use 10 criteria, evaluating the entries 3 times, mostly during the month of April; and this time, before rehearsals:
9.77 France (1,1,1) (Slimane was my #1 in all 3 evaluations)
9.69 Croatia (2,3,2)
9.66 Italy (3,2,3)
9.64 Norway (5,4,4)
9.62 Switzerland (9,7,5)
9.61 Greece (8,6,6)
9.59 Estonia (4,5,7)
9.53 Azerbaijan (13,13,8) (I made an exception for their official music video being released after rehearsals began, replacing their presentation video)
9.53 Ukraine (6,8,9)
9.53 Portugal (7,9,10)
