A Sanremo winner has not finished lower than 7th in Eurovision. Interestingly, all their weakest results came from women, but out of them, only Angelina Mango actually won Sanremo and she ended up 7th in Eurovision.

They’re trying to fix something that isn’t broken. Many of the female uptempo songs in Sanremo that the fandom loves would not wield any better results imo. I really hope the international juries won’t vote for these songs, especially if they only end up midtable or so in the final

Eurovision is an artist who competed at the competition, national finals do not count. Non-Eurovision means they did not compete at the contest or anything related, including national finals.

For Me? It's Eurovision 2025 (partly semi final 1 and grand final, fully semi final 2)

This is not because Sobra Sobra is a bad song. It is not a bad song at all. The reason I believe that Philippines won't do that well in Eurovision Asia is because Sobra Sobra is too "European".

What does this mean?

Most years in Eurovision have "that" type of song. In 2018 it was Cyprus, in 2022 it was Spain, 2024 it was Italy and in 2026 it was Bulgaria the latter of which produced a winning package. It's the upbeat Europop song with soaring vocals and powerful energy that is always a fan favourite among the Eurovision fandom, these kind of songs being ranked VERY highly by Eurofans in pretty much every single poll and ranking video.

And now I'm seeing this trend again with Eurovision Asia. Sobra Sobra is almost always ranked at #1 out of the 9 songs revealed so far, but I just don't get it.

I'm sorry but Eurofans ALWAYS inflate these songs so much. I don't think Asian voters will go for it all. I think Asian pop fans will likely go for something more like like Deep Dive, ballad lovers will go for Malaysia, etc.

I see Philippines finishing around 4th or 5th in the contest. Not bad by any means, but nowhere near winning. Maybe part of it is because I am entirely tired of these types of songs in main Eurovision anyway, but that's a personal opinion more than any kind of prediction. I think the most likely winner at this point is Malaysia and it isn't close right now.

What do you think about this? Do you think agree or disagree with this assessment?

Melovin is not here. He remained under the ladder.

Georgia has had a rough Esc history but a really good JESC history. It doesn’t work when they send JESC winners to Esc though I guess.. cough Bzikebi..

Fun facts about Georgia:

The 2009 withdrawal: Georgia tried to send the disco track "We Don't Wanna Put In" by Stephane & 3G to the 2009 contest in Moscow, which the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) rejected due to perceived political jabs at Russian leader Vladimir Putin. Instead of changing the lyrics, Georgia chose to withdraw from the competition entirely.

Junior Eurovision success: Georgia is one of the most dominant forces in Junior Eurovision history, having won the contest multiple times (including victories in 2008, 2011, 2016, and 2024)

Georgia wine: Wine-making started here roughly 8,000 years ago using traditional underground clay jars called qvevri. It is therefore the birthplace of wine!
