The last 3 songs, Greece, Armenia and Georgia

 

Greece send a 16 years-old boy with a very safe choice, i like it but they need to bring a good staging to stand out

 

Armenia very interesting, i love the parts in Armenian is incredible how it goes up 

 

Georgia with their winner of The Voice, she won junior eurovision in 2011 and this time is with the same composer, AMAZING entry and very interesting this could do a top 10 easy

Once again, and for the 11th-straight year (including the 2020 cancellation), I get to evaluate what has been sent forth to this contest.  I must say, though, after my first evaluation and viewing of the performances (I always do 3 before the contest begins, and always with 10 criteria), I thought only 13 songs this year were superior to last year's.

 

Be that as it may, after my first evaluation, Spain's Blanca Paloma, with "Eaea", came up as my number 1.  Italy's Marco Mengoni (7th in 2013), with "Due Vite", is my number 2.  Austria's Teya and Salena, with "Who The Hell Is Edgar?" is my number 3.  Sweden's Loreen (winner in 2012), with "Tattoo", is my number 4.  Estonia's Alika, with "Bridges", is my number 5.  Azerbaijan, Finland, Albania, the U.K. and France round out my top 10.

Very good top and thanks for having my country as your top 1!! remember this year you can vote, for the first time the rest of the world can vote!!

 

Rita ora, one of the guests of this years eurovision

 

And the bookies, Spain slow and steady is going up and is now 4th favourite to win!! Sweden is the favourite but they need to change the staging because they can`t do the melodifestivalen one.

My second round of evaluations is complete.  It took 6 days this time, as opposed to 4 days for my first evaluation.  Nonetheless, once again, I have to give it to Spain!  Italy remains 2nd on my scorecard, with Portugal moving up to 3rd.  Austria slips to 4th, and Finland moves up to 5th.  Albania, Sweden, the U.K., Croatia and Azerbaijan round out the rest of my top 10.

 

Where Marco Mengoni's performance (including the music video) is driven almost entirely on substance, and Loreen's is driven almost entirely on style (which will be challenged as her team tries to come up with a new stage setup), Blanca Paloma has both.  That spacy electronic sound goes very well with the lyrics and the way she sings.  If the stage setup is anything close to what I believe it could be, she will win.  Right now, the nostalgia of Mimicat, the comedy of Teya and Salena, and the ferocity of Käärijä are among those who trail her.

Well, my evaluations have ended, all of which I have done without having watched any of the national contests or the rehearsals.  These are based entirely on the songs (audio) and music videos they sent to the EBU; and as always, I use 10 criteria...

 

9.70 Spain (9.70 for the song, 9.70 for the video)

9.65 Finland (9.72/9.58)

9.63 Portugal (9.68/9.58)

9.58 Italy (9.60/9.56)

9.56 Austria (9.58/9.54)

9.55 France (9.58/9.52)

9.55 Sweden (9.50/9.58)

9.54 United Kingdom (9.46/9.62)

9.50 Azerbaijan (9.48/9.52)

9.49 Estonia (9.50/9.48)

 

Croatia 9.48, Albania 9.48, Australia 9.47, Lithuania 9.45, Moldova 9.45, Slovenia 9.45, Greece 9.45, Czechia 9.44, Switzerland 9.44, Ukraine 9.43;

 

Netherlands 9.42, Cyprus 9.42, Germany 9.42, Armenia 9.40, Norway, 9.37, Serbia 9.37, Malta 9.36, Israel 9.36, Romania 9.30, Latvia 9.29;

 

San Marino 9.28, Belgium 9.27, Denmark 9.26, Poland 9.23, Iceland 9.20, Georgia 9.20, Ireland 9.17.

 

After 10 years of watching this show, it is even more obvious that, with a good song, you have to be able to sell it to your listeners, on stage or in a video, or both.  This year, I think Blanca did the best job with both the audio and video aspect of the song.
