Winner Potential
The ‘It Girls’ this year. The ones who might just steal the crown (and our hearts).
One thing about France - they really want a win. Every entry in the past 5 years has been interesting. Louane is also a big name in France. This deeply personal ballad about motherhood and loss has struck an emotional chord with audiences. Louane's p...
France - Louane 🇫🇷
KAJ's catchy tune, sung entirely in Swedish, has been dominating betting odds. With Sweden's track record of polished performances and the novelty of their first native language entry since 1998, they could secure a record-breaking eighth win. It's a...
Sweden - KAJ 🇸🇪
My personal pick for the win. I get shivers. JJ is incredible, and can do it live, while suspended. Please listen to the whole thing - the last 30 seconds genuinely BANG - really lifting you out of the ‘boring’ trope opera singers get.
Austria - JJ 🇦🇹
Dark Horses
The underdogs you shouldn’t sleep on – they might just surprise everyone, including themselves, with a top spot finish.
I'm intrigued by this sibling duo. Their folk-pop sound is a refreshing change for Germany, and I have a feeling it might resonate more than expected. Plus, they've got that underdog charm that Eurovision voters love. I'd nearly put them in Winner po...
Germany - Abor & Tynna 🇩🇪
As the host country, Switzerland often flies under the radar, but Zoë's ethereal voice and the song's dreamy production could be a sleeper hit. It's giving me Lorde meets Björk vibes, and I'm here for it. I love the part at the end where it speeds up...
Switzerland - Zoe Me 🇨🇭
Tommy Cash is... an experience. His avant-garde style might be too much for some, but if he can translate his wild energy to the Eurovision stage, we could see a very surprising placement for him. Eurovision audiences can be unpredictable… but I'd be...
Estonia - Tommy Cash 🇪🇪
Go-Jo's "Milkshake Man" is an absolute wild card. With its quirky, upbeat energy and a performance that promises to be as colourful as it is catchy, Australia might just shake things up this year. The song's message of embracing your true self could ...
Australia - Go-Jo 🇦🇺
Kyle Alessandro's "Lighter" has a special kind of emotional depth. Inspired by his mother's battle with cancer, it's a powerful anthem about finding hope in tough times. He can MOVE on stage as well, which helps - aside from the fact that he's clearl...
Norway - Kyle Alessandro 🇳🇴
Claude's "C'est La Vie" is a tribute to his mother, celebrating life's ups and downs with a catchy blend of English and French. It's got a universal appeal that could resonate with both juries and televoters.
However, Eurovision televoters can be unpredictable, especially when it comes to black artists - we've only had one black winner (2001) and haven't had a non-white winner in over 10 years.

Good, but not good enough
These songs are like that cute guy at the bar who’s just a little too safe – they won’t break your heart, but they won’t make it skip a beat either.
This song very much gives Chappell Roan and I respect them for it. The song is decent - albeit a bit repetitive - but as is pretty typical for the UK, they've been smeared by people's annoyance with the BBC. I really want them to get left side of the...
United Kingdom - Remember Monday 🇬🇧
San Marino's song is quite catchy, and if Sweden don't place in the top 3 its because this song has stolen a share of their points. I actually thought this was Italy's entry at first - it's good, but it will probably end up on the top of the right ha...
San Marino - Tutta L'Italia 🇸🇲
Another year, another attempt from Cyprus to send a hard banger with an attractive vocalist. He'll take some points from Norway and some others, but it's not good enough to warrant a win.
Cyprus - Theo Evan 🇨🇾
Erika's back with another provocative banger, but this time it might be too much for Eurovision. "Ich Komme" is a disco-meets-rave anthem about, well, coming (wink wink). While it's catchy and empowering, the EBU's already clutching their pearls. The...
Finland - Erika Vikman 🇫🇮
Red Sebastian's "Strobe Lights" is a pulsating techno anthem that screams Belgian rave culture. The song's hypnotic build and ethereal vocals make it a dancefloor magnet. With the right staging, this could be a dark horse contender, but it might not ... On the other end, it actually could be a shock non-qualifier. Still, it's a banger that'll get stuck in your head – and I'm here for it.
Belgium - Red Sebastian 🇧🇪
Melody's revamped version of "Esa Diva" is a bop with a message, celebrating powerful women without the ego. The production's slicker now, building nicely to that catchy chorus, but it's just not good enough. I actually think it would be a potential ...
Spain - Melody 🇪🇸
Luxembourg is bringing retro flair to Eurovision this year with Laura Thorn's "La poupée monte le son." Inspired by France Gall's iconic 1965 winner, the song blends playful 60s vibes with a modern twist. It's undeniably fun and catchy, but I’m not s...
Luxembourg - Laura Thorn 🇱🇺
While "Hallucination" is undeniably catchy, I'm even more intrigued by the promise of a completely revamped staging for Eurovision. The Danish delegation is going all out, working "24/7" on what they claim will be a "fabulous show." If they can match...
Denmark - Sissal 🇩🇰
Not good, but will do well
Because sometimes it’s not about the song, it’s about the staging, or the politics – these entries will somehow manage to charm their way to some points.
This song has made some NOISE, and it's part of a wider trend we've seen from Malta in the past few years. The song is like click-bait in sound, and has successfully aggravated people as a result. It is unnecessary in my mind and the song isn't good ...
Malta - Miriana Conte 🇲🇹
I don't like the song. No matter what Israel sends they will receive points though because of the politics around it, which will give it a Top 5 finish. I pray for an alternative ending.
Israel - Yuval Raphael 🇮🇱
The song's already gone Gold in Italy and is racking up millions of streams, so clearly it's resonating. That said, it's not an instant earworm, which might hurt its chances with casual viewers. I dont like the energy he has on stage unfortunately, b...
Italy - Lucio Corsi 🇮🇹
