The class of 2020 may not have made it all the way to Rotterdam, but many of them will get there eventually. And we can hardly wait for that moment to come.
As it was, 41 acts were about to set sail for Eurovision 2020. They consisted of 17 female soloists, nine bands or duos and 15 male soloists.
For the purposes of this post, we’re all about the men.
As always, we have a tonne of variety in the boys’ locker room. From heartfelt ballads to Justin Timberlake inspired pop, there is much to choose from.
But who is your favourite male solo artist this year? Is it the French actor? The Dutch soul singer? The Finnish equivalent to Ed Sheeran? Or is it someone else from the eclectic bunch? You decide.
The 15 candidates are listed below. Once you’ve checked them all out, vote for your favourites in our poll. You can vote for as many contestants as you like, but you can only vote ONE time, so make it count.
This poll closes in May. It’s up to you, Europe. Start voting now!

[crowdsignal poll=10531692]Which male solo entry is your favourite? Who do you want to see back next year? Let us know in the comments.
Ben and gjon are my top 2
No doubt, Diodato.
Sandro is so underrated!
Gjon and Blas, without doubt.
Good singers all around.. My heart beats faster when I hear Jeangu, Tom (the live acoustic version is amazing), Diodato and Gjon.. But Jeangu tops this group for me.. Soulful, melodic and empathic voice..
Just realised that I only have one male in my personal top 10. And I’m even more surprised that it is the UK’s entry! I’m really pleased for James, he seems like such a nice, genuine guy, and he has a great voice and song.
I really like UK’s entry too. It’s not in my top 10, but I think it’s sweet. It’s my second favorite Big Five song next to Italy.
Diodato and Tornike Kipiani
Uku is the best in my opinion, but I love Gjon and Blas too and there are many others I like
Why is Switzerland not included here?
Ben, Blas, Benny
You guys forgot Gjon’s Tears from Switzerland, he is a solo male act
Benny C, Diodato, Jeangu
