Netherlands entry of Eurovision Song Contest this year from Joost Klein and his song Europapa is a banger

[@MirkoMITRIC]

Absolutely Croatia is a bop :)Thanks Alesia for all the great analysis totally agree on a bop definition.For me personaly Austria ,Greece ,Italy ,Netherlands are all BOP songs.Nebulossa has a bop material song also.Cyrpus has a text book Bop song ,it is not my kind of bop ,but it still is Malta has a great song ,hoping their stage and overall presentation will be at the top

For Semi Juries - I'd like to see them go back to what they did when I first started watching: Have the audience award qualification spots 1-9, and the jury awards spot #10.

Why? People should vote for actually good songs.

[@sandraconcepcion]

[@user-ti3ko1dc6j]

I think Netherlands have high chances to win Eurovision song contest they are actually 3rd odds favorites

[@tomislavm8789]

Position in odds is not guarantee for anything. Malta was first in 2021. They finished 6. Määneskin was 6, they won. Also, the juries will not award him high points since there are 4-5 better, jury friendly songs. Serbia, Belgium, France, Italy, Portugal, UK, just to name few.

[@tomislavm8789]

P.s. If you want to talk about NL odds, I have bad news for you. After first rehersal NL fell from 14% to 12% (3 to 4). At the moment is at 9% (5) and it keeps falling.

[@tomislavm8789]

They are at 8% now and falling. As I said I don't belive in odds as good way to predict final scoreboard positions, but such a huge fall (-6%) in odds after rehersals is good indicatior that performance is bad and reactons to what was seen are not positive. On the other side of rehersals coin is CRO that after rehersals rose back (+5%) to first place.

[@EurovisionOpale]

PUT OUT THE FIRE!

[@luisdireito]

Austria is (or was) my favourite bop this year, until I saw how she performed live. At this point I seriously doubt she will even qualify for the final. Her vocals are definitely lacking, and all her live performances so far have nothing to do with the studio version of the song

[@user-oh5sl6ze5z]

Malta 🇲🇹 ❤

[@user-nu4xo3lf8r]

whats ethnic about georgia song , and how is compared to italy/greece ? I love her perfomance , she will do well but there is nothing ethnic in it

[@AlesiaMichelle]

The chord structure.

[@CHVENIUBANI]

Georgia🔥🇬🇪🚨

[@user-ti3ko1dc6j]

Netherlands

[@jockey7069]

From the ones that made it to eurovision so far it's easily going to be 🥭La Noia🥭 with We Will Rave being a kinda close runner up currently. In general taking every eurovision entry this year its FOMO by Cecilia. Fell for it fast and it's the first eurovision song i had in my "eurovision 2024" list which is insane thinking that i still didn't get tired of it at all.

[@Kokolo-ze2cp]

Croatia for sure 🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🤌🏼

[@matthewpargeter-villarreal3538]

If we’re talking about ethnic pop bops, we gotta talk about Armenia…I can’t understand a word of their song, but the instruments make me get up and dance

[@user-uf3qm4mv6z]

Malta surely deserves to qualify!

[@tuna8490]

Düm Tek Tek will always be the bar for the ethnobop for me. 🇹🇷

[@AlesiaMichelle]

It’s CLASSIC

[@triadafillos1]

The first ethno bop is for me Greece 2004, "Shake it", Sakis Rouvas, finishing 3rd he paved the way for ethno bops, for Düm Tek Tek too

[@AlesiaMichelle]

Love "Shake It"

[@NikolajMohar]

Alesia, who is that sneaking up on you at 7:20???

[@esc1074]

Various favourites but my favourite bop this year is the Netherlands. Love it. Would thought i would get bored with it but hasnt happened

[@mastermaltese8731]

6:30, you can stand on that hill, but I appreciate that you acknowledge that yes, after The Busker got last place last year and after Malta fails to qualify again (making Malta have a 3 year NQ streak) despite Loop being a good song and what will be a polished and slick performance by Sarah, people will realize that Malta doesn't qualify unjustly simply because we're not Italy or Sweden, but a tiny rock nobody cares about. How can we even get close to win if we come last every year?

[@AlesiaMichelle]

Like I said… this year will present some persuasive arguments yeah…

[@AW-EV-and-FTM]

I feel like we need a better version of the juries in the semis. Ones that honor creativity and non English. Thanks for the video!

[@thorbjorgsveinsdottir8564]

I think our outdated Icelandic entry could have been considered a Bop in 2002 😅

[@AlesiaMichelle]

Yes! ☺️❤️

[@AW-EV-and-FTM]

That comment made me hardcore laugh. Thanks.

Italy by far.

[@davidbenjamin3714]

Croatia is a bop song this year

[@AlesiaMichelle]

For me "yes" in reaction and vibe, but "NO" in composition (in my deifniton)

[@davidbenjamin3714]

@@AlesiaMichelle fair enough but just couldn't refuse to mention it

[@davidbenjamin3714]

@@AlesiaMichelle could juries be allowed to be back in the semifinals if a song comes 11 place and just needs a little bit of help to have Advance to the final of competition is strong and a struggle t wait televoting don't think its a bad idea

Greece 🇬🇷❤❤❤❤❤

[@pagaporvista569]

Australia is a bop, i can't sit still with that one. Also, I would consider Estonia a bop for that reason thought not a pop song. I think of bop as uptempo that makes you wanna dance (even though not clubby) but I put them in ethnic bops and english bops. As far as English girl bops - Malta takes it with Denmark close behind.

[@rawman909]

Israel❤

[@AlesiaMichelle]

The song is not a bop....

[@tomislavm8789]

If that's a bop, Celine Dion is queen of bops with 'My heart will go on'.

[@87leafar]

This year half of the musics are bop=pop, and that's sad.

[@jordanwilson6490]

If we’re talking ethno pop bops we can’t forget UKRAINE 🇺🇦 it’s sooo good and makes me wanna dance in a convent 🙏🇺🇦😊💙💛

[@tomislavm8789]

But there's nothing ethno in that song.

[@edvinasklemas0734]

do you also think that Lithuania looks better than Croatia? I think Croatia is overrated. Very well done Lithuania

[@Kokolo-ze2cp]

She definitely does not think that 😂

[@goranlazarevic8811]

Znas li Ti nesto drugo osim tog BOPa....Postoji i druga vrsta pesama.....

[@erikbehaeghel]

Italy is just pop, Greece is etnic pop no bops Austria is Techno so bop is really a term that people don't know the different types of music

[@fm95master]

Well Lithuania is one of the weakest entries this year in my opinion. Monotone rhythm, weak vocals and weak lyrics. :/ Maltas Vocals are not as good either so if she doesn't bring her A Game in the semis, I don't see her advance. Spain is lucky they belong to the "big five" cause otherwise I wouldn't see it make it to the finals cause from what I saw in the live performances the vocals were very weak aswell. Georgia is a very strong vocalist and she already showed it in the live performance so I'm 100% sure she will deliver in the semis and advance to the finals aswell. Same goes for Greece in my opinion. :) So yeah, they are all bops but the song execution and staging will play a huge role.

[@alexandrenabais6053]

For me the best bops are Italy, Austria, Cyprus, Luxembourg and Lithuania (I really like all of these) The worst ones are Greece, Georgia and Malta (I do not like any of these songs) UK and Poland for me, are not Bops.

[@Muchapluma]

I don't gonna coment about your taste is yours, but UKs song is literally 100% British bop

[@alexandrenabais6053]

@@Muchapluma idk, it doesn't seem like a bop to me. Its not a song that makes me want to dance or a song that makes me go LETS GOOOO THAT WAS SICK!!! It's just a good pop song. Pop songs can or can't be Bops.

[@muddyfeet69]

The song from Armenia is a bop in my eyes.

[@bornwithoutconsentobviously]

Luna - The Tower 🇵🇱 actually makes me kind of dance… I think it’s a bop. 🤔
