(Not my favorite, but I am unfortunately not within the voting body of Eurovision.)

to qualify for this years show.

Ill remind you for a final time: I cant even vote in this thing.

So throw that VPN away, babe!

Now lets get to the odds of wholl take the crown.

Huge bummer for Iceland!

Goodwill Ambassador from Tajikistan.

Lithuania: The Roop - Discoteque

Ideally, each Eurovision song should come with its own dance.

This year, only Lithuanias entry Discotheque has one thats worth a damn.

is showing up to Rotterdam with not just a pop banger but one that featuresnone other than Flo Rida.

Bottom line: Adrenalina is really good, and it means San Marino isnt fucking around this year.

Maneskin is giving us the coolest form of Eurovision rock seemingly without pretense or shtick.

(Sorry, Finland!)

This doesnt sound likeanythingelse across the board, and thats what makes it special.

Oh, by the way, Maneskin means moonlight in Danish.

Maybe this years the year.

Moving on, this guys been singing on TVsince he was 12 years old(!

), reaching the semifinals ofSwitzerlands Got TalentandThe Voice France.

The question is: Does Eurovision 2021 want tears?

If so, this is their guy.

(Somewhat similar to a precise screaming or calling, where air escapes through your fully open throat.

you might hear it at the very end of SHUM; you honestly cannot miss that note.)

Aesthetically, its Trinity fromThe MatrixmeetsMad Maxand thats exciting.

Dont sleep on Ukraine this year.

He also helped write songs off KeshasRainbowand Toni BraxtonsSex & Cigarettesand has been nominated for a Grammy twice.

All of these impressive things dont make his Eurovision entry Fallen Angel any better of a song.

So what Im saying is Greece is here to pull out all the stops.

(And does it sound just a little too much like Bad Romance?

You be the judge.)

), you gotta admit its better than whatthey planned on sending in 2020.
