MY TOP 37 | EUROVISION 2023 | (with comments)

[@Akaiiiable]

As a Finn, have to thank You man! Your eurovision reactions have been my favourite ones this year and now this recap of your favourites makes me super happy. 🥰 I really love when people are finally recognizing Finland in this competition and everybody is loving our Cha Cha Cha. Hopefully we Cha Cha to win 💃🏻🕺🏽 Love you man 🫶🏽

[@Ita.Paperwhite]

And as a Norwegian let me tell you; You had at least two songs (Cha cha cha and KUUMAA) that would both be in my top 3 this year. Also loved your Blind Channel and the song that came second (I think) last year. Rasmus is a great band too, but his vocals were not good enough. Love Nordic rock, Norway and Finland the two best in the rock category outside ESC. But only Finland sends rock to Eurovision.

[@TheBalkanGuy]

Thank you soo much 🤍🤍🤍

[@TotalStoicism]

​@@Ita.Paperwhite Norway is my favourite country and the song this year is very good too Love from Finland

[@timol104]

Thank you also from Finland ☺️🇫🇮

[@alionele]

Omg!!! Love that Käärijä is your number one. It’s crazy, it’s party. Just what Europe needs right now. It’s too tricky for me to do ranking of all 37 songs but my top 3 is easy 1. Finland 2. Austria and 3. Serbia. 😊

[@TheBalkanGuy]

wow taste 😍😍 I fully agree

[@MacgiollaIG]

100% agree with Finland - it’s full of joy, fun, eccentricity, camp, which is what we love about Eurovision. Loreen performs an okay song very well but go Finland! I wouldn’t rule out Norway! It’s a Nordic battle this year.

[@Ita.Paperwhite]

I'm from Norway but hope for a battle between Spain and Armenia ;) Don't think that will happen though. Only Nordic act I want to win is Finland.

[@Jewelkitten38]

@@Ita.Paperwhite You don't like Norway's song? I want Norway to win!

[@studiorestard]

Spain is not nordic. Just saying. I think Norway is not going to be in top 5.

[@Ita.Paperwhite]

@@studiorestard What? Of course not. I live in the Nordics. I said that the only nordic country I would like to win (if not Spain or Armenia) is Finland.

[@Ita.Paperwhite]

@@Jewelkitten38 Norway's song: It's ok. Typical Eurovision song and to me it feels a bit dated. It's a quality song and artist though... I like more artsy songs like Armenia, Serbia, Czechia and Spain. Or indie rock ;)

[@lunaireticb4162]

My top 5 is Finland/Serbia/Latvia/Armenia/Israel, so we share some of them in our top! The thing is, thanks for giving love to Latvia. Aija is SO underrated. 😭♥️

It is that energy and pure joy that I love about Cha Cha Cha - I don't need to analyse, I don't need to frown - I can just jump on board and enjoy the ride with a smile on my face. There is something so genuine about this guy, and it comes out in a lot of his songs. Whether it wins or not - the song has got me for sure.

We have the same top 2, only 2 songs have made me fall in love at first sight and listen and they have been Finland my number one and the second has been Armenia it is a great song, different, I love the instrumentation and how she interprets it, it has magic, hopefully the staging is at the level of the video clip, if it succeeds for me it is the dark horse. Any of these two that win would make me very happy.

[@judithatias4741]

My Top 37 Warning Controversial 1. Finland (I mean obviously 😜) 2. Slovenia (the Live sold me and I'm a Fan 3. Norway (A bit more interesting and engaging than Tattoo) 4. Sweden (Shocking I know.. ) 5. Estonia (it's just magical to me) 6. Moldova (A BOP!!!) 7. Austria (A lyrical BOP ?! and honestly pretty funny) 8. Czechia (harmonys + message = Magic 9. Serbia (I just got that he sings in the pespective of a Video Game Charakter which is soo cool ) 10. Georgia (I'm honestly not that sure about that one because the lyrics are pretty bad but musically completly my taste) 11. Cyprus (I just hope he can do those vocals live) 12. France (A BOP!!) 13. Netherlands (I love this song and it hurts me that it didn't reach my top ten) 14. Armenia ( but this could actually grow on me and could kick Out Georgia of my top 10 ) 15. Portugal (Mimicat is Just a great performer but the song didn't sold me) 16. Greece (It's weird but I don't hate it I Just don't know how I am supposed to feel during the song) 17. Australia (It's quiet catchy ) 18. Malta (the saxophone is a bit overused but it's still great) 19. Italy (it just doesn't get me like estonia) 20. Switzerland (Same as Italy even tho I really like the message) 21. Latvia (I Love it but it's such a strong year :( 22. Germany (my Country) 23. Iceland (I love her power in stage but it doesn't make up for the lacking power of the song) 24. Croatia (I kinda love it ngl) 25. Spain ( I just don't get it sry :( but it's well performed) 26. Ukraine ( honestly the revamp didn't do that much) 27. Israel ( Not my cup of tea sry but I get the Appeal and it's starting to grow on me and could get really high in my Top) 28. Belgium ( it grew on me but it just sounds a bit cheap to me) 29. San Marino (It's creepy lyrically but musically not that bad) 30. UK (repetitive and not my cup of tea sry) 31. Lithuania (I think it's just boring sry) 32. Denmark (I like the studio version a lot but it was bad live) 33. Albania (It's a bit to dramatic for me) 34. Romania (It's just bad sry ) 35. Ireland (cringy Lyrics and wayyyy to safe) 36. Azerbaijan (sry but the first part of the Song is soo cringe for me) 37. Poland (...)

[@ליאבאלמליח-נ9י]

Israel only 27 ? 🤔

[@itachiuchiha1682]

@Fran Medellín it's my personal taste and I just don't get it. I think it will do well in Liverpool tho and that's great for her

[@TheManInBlueFlames]

The X factor in the UK's song is the spoken word part and the final bit which SHOULD translate really well on stage and the fact it's closing the show is gonna give EVERYONE a party. In terms of the winner, it's definitely Finland for me. Glad you appreciate Lithuania so much as well. Everyone seems to be hating on Monika these days but for me the lyrics and musicality especially at the end almost make me cry. If it gets to the final it COULD top the jury!

I think he'll win at the end and he deserves it ! 4- 🇦🇲 - The only ballad I love from this year 😍 5 - 🇳🇴 - Viking queen will slay ! Definitely top 5 6 - 🇨🇿 - Love the song but I'm soooo afraid for the live performance, the staging and the vocals. Could be a shock NQ. 7 - 🇸🇮 - Loveeeeee this song. This will be the best Slovenian result ever. 8 - 🇬🇧 - Completely my taste. A goooood bop 9 - 🇦🇹 - Love this bop but afraid for the live performance. Could be top 5 if they do it good. 10 - 🇵🇱 - Yeah, and I stand by it. She does not deserve so much hate. Her song isn't bad at all. Goooo Blanka

[@angelaburrow8114]

I'm watching this late, to minimise my PED. :-) You've got a lovely attitude, finding something good even about songs you don't like or aren't keen on. I like that. You're the sort of Eurovision fan I appreciate: you understand what Eurovision is about, coming together for the music, building friendships, finding new artists you can enjoy for ever & experiencing different musical cultures, always with a smile on your face & an open heart. My winner was Germany. I still don't know why it flopped so much, the band are excellent musicians, Chris is a great singer with a versatile voice, the message is important & their song sounds like nothing else in the competition. The band threw everything into the competition, enjoying sharing their love of music with other artists & fans of any type of music. They've taken the logo to heart, in fact I think it's been their personal logo for years. I just found out yesterday that, when lockdown was ending, they put out a clarion call to any bands, especially new ones, who'd struggled with the enforced isolation both mentally but also because it was a major derailment, especailly for new bands who needed the money they can make from touring. The singer offered to sing on anyone's songs if they wanted him, to both raise their profile, make a new friend & basically feel less alone. During Eurovision, the singer put out 2 videos of him watching all the entrants & giving his opinions & encouragement. He & Gared, the multi-instrumentalist with the mohawk, did an acoustic cover of about half the songs, sometimes with guitar added too, putting their own spin on it. I have a feeling they'll have already made arrangements to start a number of collabs we'll see over the coming year. I hadn't heard of Lord of the Lost before the release of the shortlist for the German national final. When the orgnaisers told us who was performing, I listed to all the songs, & LotL intrigued me. (In reality, they blew my mind! lol) I watched a few of their videos on YT & straight away bought all 8 of their studioe albums. I just can't get away with them. This is one of the reasons I've loved Eurovision since 1976: it introduces me to acts I'd normally not be able to discover otherwise. The rest of my top 5 is Australia, Croatia, Belgium & Finland. France had been my #3, but I was disappointed with La Zarra's performance in the final. I was shocked to see her voice wasn't as excellent as we usually hear. Every single time I'd seen her perform it before that night, she'd been flawless. The final was not up to her exceptional standard, maybe her nerves got to the better of her. I also didn't think the staging was as wow as everyone else. Overall, I was disappointed & she fell to just outside my top 10. Noa shot up from in my late 20s to top 10. Her performance was perfect. I was disappointed Lativia didn't quality, I though they'd slayed. I was disappointed with Sweden too. I knowm Loreen is an excellent performer, a great sunger, great dancer, with lots of charisma & a fantastic storyteller, but the song did nothing for me. I found it very boring, a lot less interesting than Euphoria. For me, it wasn't even the best dance song (that was Israel). I prefer my entrants to bring something fresh to the competition, not ust a song that I feel was Eurovision-by-numbers. Give me Germany, Australia, Croatia, Czechia, Slovenia, Latviam, Serbia, even Denmark's song, which I didn't like, as they all tried something different, other than Sweden & Israel who did what they always do, down to the same genre & even the same sort of artist. I want to see the unexpected. If someone asked me to say what makes a Swedish Eurovision song, I'd say a female pop act or ballad. For Italy, I'd say a male ballad or, more rarely, male pop. For the other countries I mentioned, you canniot predict becuase they send someone new almost every year, & that's a lot better imo. Look at Ukraine & what they've entered over the years. (It's a real smorgasbord of music, You never know what you're going to get with Ukraine, & some other countries, but you do with Sweden & Italy every single time which puts me off.) : 2003 (Ukraine's first year at Eurovision) male, pop 2004 female, pop 2005 male rap (became the anthem of the Orange Revolution) 2006 female pop with an ethnic feel 2007 Europop, Verka Serduchka! 2008 female pop 2009 female pop rock 2010 female post-grunge/alternative rock 2011 female pop rock with a soul sound in parts 2012 female, it's hard to categorise Gaitana's entry, a combination of pop, jazz, African rhythm, dubstep & R&B 2013 female pop 2014 female pop 2015 female pop 2016 female ethno-electro pop 2017 rock-metal 2018 pop rock 2019 electronic 2020 folktronica 2021folktronica 2022 folk hip-hop 2023 R&B/electronic

Good luck to our beautiful sweetheart Luke 🥰 also besides Luke i'm rooting for Latvia, Israel, Czechia and our neighbour Croatia 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️ Finland and Norway will qualify 100% and i'm super happy about that lol many people don't like Ireland's song but i actually do and i wouldn't mind if they qualify. Semi 2: Lithuania and Greece please qualify 🙏🙏🕯️🕯️ i'm not afraid for Slovenia and Austria, Armenia will most likely qualify too. These are the countries i'm rooting for in semi 2. I would be happy if Iceland qualifies too bc Diljá seems like a really sweet person and her vocals and stage presence are amazing, she deserves it.

[@Aaber7]

Overrated

[@merjaknaapi4944]

PERFECT😍

[@teijafi3734]

My top 5 5. Spain or Croatia (Still haven't decided if I love or hate them but at least they bring something different to Liverpool.) 4. Germany (Rock! ) 3. Estonia (Love her voice.) 2. Malta (Such a nice song, makes me happy.) 1. Finland (Yeah I know I shouldn't put my own country first put finally after so many years we have a great song that really deserves to win.)

[@Jinx681]

Balkan guy, bro you should have Serbia, Croatia and Slovenia in top3! Thanks for your reaction, to me French song is a masterpiece.!

[@TheBalkanGuy]

hahaha I keep it objective on my channel 😂😂

[@Jinx681]

@TheBalkanGuy No worries bro, ty for having Serbia and Slovenia in top 10. 👌

[@mystemo1980]

Great authentic top 37 mate. Love your enthusiasm and that's what the Eurovision season is all about. I won't hold against you that you put Blanka Poland ahead of Australia ;)

[@TheBalkanGuy]

Haha thank you so much 🤍😂

[@PastaSauce.]

I agree with Latvia. I love how it slowly builds

[@galf91201]

Armenia 🇦🇲 has sent us a masterpiece this year. If Armenia doesn’t win I would be good with 🇮🇱 🇫🇷 🇬🇪

[@armankarapetyan8816]

Sweden will win.

[@livinglegendlanadelrey]

Armenia has no chance to win❤

[@jbernabeus]

I looooved watching this vides, especially for the comments to each song. I haven't heard all the songs many times, just 2 or 3, but I'd say I largely agree with your top ten songs. Not with their respective positions, but... I think once we see the artis perform in the rehersals we all be quite more clear. I was surprised you left Norway out of your top 10. I guess many things can change as May 13th approaches. Good work!

[@TheBalkanGuy]

I mean 11th place is still amazing 😂 but yeah, staging can change everything

[@iwonawiatr3544]

Our winner is Jann , not Blanka . Greetings from Poland

[@TheBalkanGuy]

Blanka slays tho

[@finn7208]

Thank you❤️ I love your reaction videos ❤️ keep up the good work!

[@TheBalkanGuy]

thank youuu 🤍🤍

[@Veenenbos1990]

I'm so happy to see the appreciation for Latvia here. Aija is such a good song, and I think it's going to do better than a lot of people are anticipating. On the other hand, I think Austria might be a shock NQ for a lot of people in the fandom. It's stupid and honestly quite annoying, and I think it'll be very difficult to stage, so I think it's just a borderline qualifier. My top 10: 1. Latvia 2. Australia 3. Finland 4. Serbia 5. Switzerland 6. Czechia 7. Estonia 8. United Kingdom 9. Italy 10. Moldova Honorable mentions to Malta, Germany, Norway, Azerbaijan and Slovenia. My bottom 5: 33. Lithuania 34. Poland 35. Portugal 36. Austria 37. Croatia

[@ΧρυσούλαΠαυλίδου-τ6ζ]

this is the best top 10 list i ve seen this year...I think Latvia has the best for 2023...Hello from Greece

[@f1shmail]

austria stupid? it probably has the most well thought out lyrics this year my guy 💀

[@ksesc]

[@TheBalkanGuy]

[@davitnersisyan3080]

Love your top

[@annaollila1061]

I love cha cha cha! ❤ ❤

[@kiwivision100]

Nice! Our rankings literally could not be much more different, but like you say Eurovision is all about celebrating different styles of music and cultures. We can all learn something new from each other rather than taking offence! Keep up the great work - Tim.

[@TheBalkanGuy]

Thank you Tim 🤍🤍 And yes it's a celebration🤩

[@BelminKorjenic]

Glad to see 🇸🇮 in your top 10. As you said it screams Ex - yu. This song or Serbian one could be Balkan's favourite easily.

[@Marcepan541]

Great honest top 37. Appreciate that

[@TheBalkanGuy]

[@ErickSantos-lr6vz]

I’m argentinian and if I could vote this year my votes are 🇨🇭 in sf1 🇬🇷 in sf2 and 🇫🇮 in the final, i think rest of the world could vote in both semis 😀

[@virajjayant1978]

Serbia, Slovenia and Latvia are my absolute favorites 🖤 Pheww, I value your opinion sooo much in the Eurovision community and it's certainly a relief you love them as well

[@TheBalkanGuy]

ayyy very tasteful🤍

[@didikids557]

Armenia has big chances❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@vardanhakobyan9326]

Thx❤

[@humbertopinzon3150]

I mean not

[@janisartuso3991]

Hey great video just a little reminder : Italy does not choose the song for Eurovision! They choose the song for sanremo festival ( best song in Italy ) and the artist can choose to go to Eurovision ( or not ) . So technically Marco did not write the song for Eurovision! Important I think because the public he wrote it for already appreciates it 😅

[@SireKris]

Best of luck to all of the contestant 🫶🏻💕 My #12 Douze point in ESC 2023 goes to 🇮🇹 Italy with Marco Mengoni Due Vite Greetings from Sweden 💫🫶🏻💕

[@jesusalejandroramirezcasti8466]

I love Marco Mengoni and "Due Vite" is my favorite song in the competition. The lyrics and his vocals are pure magic. And I think that there is a lot of differences between 2013 and 2023. But I love "Cha cha cha" too.

[@ashxenmelqonyan4605]

Wow!Armenia❤💙🧡

[@BobbyManford]

I absolutely love the Iceland song, I don’t know why it doesn’t have more love 🇮🇸

[@eurovisionfunboy]

thank U so much💗🇦🇲

[@Jewelkitten38]

Really enjoyed your video but I'm loving Norway this year- they're my Number One. Finland IS ace though! :)

[@raquelriquelmemeseguer2745]

Gracias por tus palabras a 🇪🇦 y muy contenta que para ti este en el top 10😜

[@TheBalkanGuy]

ofc 🤍🤍🤍

[@fyrhunter_svk]

So happy that Lithuania is in your TOP10. :)

[@onewipa1]

Let's go and cha cha cha ❤🎉😊

[@Igraine2009]

So difficult, isn't it? Fortunately! It would be so sad if we had just one or a few good songs to choose. I have Serbia, Spain, Austria, Finland, and Armenia in my top ten for sure. I don't agree...wait, wait, I don't FEEL the same about the others in your top ten. I guess I could explain my preferences in terms of performance, vocals, coreography or whatever, but the truth is the main reason is just myself and what I fancy now.

[@johnsof66]

I'm Australian,I'm hoping it get's through

[@mihailspo6765]

Thank you for Latvia, finally someone get it ❤️

[@TheBalkanGuy]

Masterpiece😍😍
