Eurovision Song Contest 2023 - Liverpool

he/him
1. Czechia
2. Austria
3. Moldova
4. Sweden
5. France

This is for now, let's say on a "first listen". I wish I like Finland more, but currently, it's not clicking with me.
I'm not a music expert...but I wish the chorus of Edgar is better produced. Somehow catchiness of the lyrics isn't fully used and it sounds overproduced.
 
Why did I sleep on Latvia this year? I just gave it a proper listen and it’s actually quite good! But unfortunately chances are low for them because SF1 is so strong.

My favourites this year:
- France
- Austria
- Finland
- Serbia
- Moldova

and second tier:
- Czechia
- Latvia
- Israel
- Spain

UK, Sweden and Slovenia are nice.

The rest is just ok or bad.
 
Songs to keep:
Finland
France
Sweden
Austria

And also:
Norway
UK

Moldova

And for "oh remember those ESC entries" playlists:
Denmark
Italy
Netherlands
Poland
Israel
Serbia
Lithuania
Malta
 
I have to admit also
Heard a few here and there but only listened to all 37 entries last night.

I was shocked to have seen nobody even mention Belgium in their top ten at all? Probably in my top five. It sounds as if George Michael jumped on a dance Collab in the 90s.
I absolutely love this track too! Its in my top six along with Tattoo, Queen Of The Kings, I Wrote A Song, ChaChaCha & Who The Hell Is Edgar. Because of You has that mid 90s House/Pop vibe to it i loved when i was a kid. Hugely nostalgic!
