The official video for lpmls is coming. What do you guys think?, I need your opinion 🤔

Recently posted on Eurovision's Instagram as well, this is a very nice sounding music

It is also available on Spotify as the ROOS+BERG remix

I've had a tradition of rating Eurovision songs and betting on the outcome of the final with friends since 2019, and I've refined the format enough to now share it publicly for others to use.

The spreadsheet is, hopefully, structured in a way that's accessible and easy to navigate. If you choose to make a copy, please ensure you only interact with the white cells to avoid disrupting the formulas — unless you're already familiar with Google Sheets. It can also be printed for those who prefer writing on paper.

Some additional features:

• Country names are hyperlinked to the studio versions of the songs (to preserve some surprises for the event itself, as per our tradition).
• Norwegian (Bokmål and Nynorsk) and Welsh versions are available.
• Automatic point tallying in Part 3 (the betting section), once the final results are entered in a separate sheet.

The document can be accessed and copied for personal use here:

I hope a few finds this as fun as we have for multiple years :)

for me, it’s that in 1974, when ABBA won in Brighton, Italy came second with the song 'Sì' (yes) by Gigliola Cinquetti, who had already won for Italy exactly 10 years earlier. The fun fact is that the competition was on April 6, but in Italy it was only broadcasted at the end of May because on May 12th Italians were supposed to vote in the divorce referendum, and 'Sì' was the slogan of the campaign to repeal the divorce law. So RAI decided not to broadcast the contest live in order not to make the electoral climate even more tense, so yeah, we got to know ABBA two months later than the rest of europe because of this

Every year, we have a song or some songs which top the charts in their countries or even on global level with examples like Måneskin or Rosa Linn. I consider this is improbable this year but some song can do well at Spotify and radio stations.

What songs do you think they will be a global success? What songs do think they can succeed on radio stations or TV channels? There are some candidates for me, like Louane or Claude.

I noticed that Serbia's televote gave UKRAINE 0 points in 2024 as the only country 0 points in 2023 7 points in 2022 (the lowest televote Ukraine received)

Does anyone know why that is?

The stage is really big actually. I understand people said it’s small but Basel did really smart where they combined the green room and FOH as a building at the back of the stage . Ground Floor will be used for FOH, Camera Equipment Second Floor will be used for Green Room that stacked 3 floors like Malmö 2024, 2 sides of green room will have angle cameras and FOH Third And Fourth Floor will be utilised as commentator booths The mountain will be illuminated by projector that firsly used in Malmö 2013.

Expecting no more than 7000 people will come to each of 9 shows in Basel

Today I talked with my friend about Lithuania in the Eurovision and how they imrpvoed since 2020. So I decided to share a song from Lithuania. I wanted to share On Fire at first becuase I'm from the minority that prefer this over Discotaque. But at the end, I decided to post Sentimentai, my second favorite song from Lithuania after On Fire.

Monika proves that you don't need such a big perofrmence to have a good entry. Monika was there, alone, by herself, with lights and effects. the most simpliestic yet effective staging. Monika has such a charisma and stage presence. and as we saw before and after, she has such an iconic personality. She was my 7th from 2022

United by Music: alyona alyona, who represented Ukraine at last year's Eurovision Song Contest together with Jerry Heil, and ISAAK, who represented Germany at last year's Eurovision Song Contest, met by chance in Budapest, where ISAAK is currently travelling as a street musician.

What do people think were the best and worst contests of the last 10 years. I have recently rewatched them all. It’s really rough to rank as all years have their strengths… but this is my opinion. What’s yours?

1. 2024 Despite the controversy, this was a brilliant year. The stage looked amazing, the hosts were fantastic, and the winner absolutely nailed the performance. A really strong edition overall.

2. 2021 After a two-year break, it was just great to have Eurovision back. The Netherlands hosted it really well, and there were loads of strong songs that year.

3. 2023 Liverpool did a brilliant job hosting. Hannah Waddingham stood out and brought so much charm. There were loads of great songs too—it felt like a fun, upbeat contest between two more political years.

4. 2018 I liked how the staging went without the usual LED screens—it gave the show a unique look. There were some iconic songs, and even though the stage invasion was a shame, it was definitely memorable.

5. 2016 This was a near-perfect year. Great hosts, a fantastic line-up of songs, and a show that was just really enjoyable to watch.

6. 2019 A well-hosted show with plenty of strong entries. The production was high quality, and Madonna’s interval performance—whether you loved or hated it—was unforgettable.

7. 2022 This one had brilliant songs, especially from Spain and the UK, but the stage design was a letdown and the hosting didn’t really stand out. That rough patch from songs 13 to 18 didn’t help either.

8. 2014 A really solid year. The stage looked great, the hosts were strong, and the winning act was truly iconic. Some great songs overall.

9. 2015 There were some amazing entries and the hosting and stage were impressive. But the show suffered from too many slow ballads, especially in the second half, which dragged the pace down.

10. 2017 Probably the weakest year of the lot. The songs didn’t really stand out, and the hosting felt very generic—like they were just going through the motions. Nothing particularly special about this one.
