But, remember to keep things positive. With such young artists competing in the competition, there will be a strict moderation of the comments.
I think that France has the best song but I still enjoy Spain,Netherlands and Poland
Honestly why do people hack votes so their country gets to the top? It’s not gonna make anyone like the song any more and just seems like attention seeking because someone else is doing better than you
Spain’s song is the catchiest this year. It’s the only one I remember at first listen. It is a potential winner for sure
I think France will win again! The “Armenian” song is BLACKPINK af!
Armenia, France, Spain and The Netherlands are the best ??
Spain or Armenia are the winners. I love both songs.
I Think Spain will win JESC 2023. Madrid or Barcelona 2024?
Netherlands, Portugal & Armenia
I don’t see a clear favorite, and it is exciting
I just have to said that I dont see any ballads winning, if one would, it will be a huge surprise.
The Netherlands FTW.
Is seems like an all girl contest this year except Georgia and NL. But no boys as a solo artist. Could either these two countries win. ?
The victory is not decided according the genre of the performers….
You’re right, however it will help make the acts stand out in a sea of female talent. A good performance with something that stands out as different will net a lot of votes
I get where is he coming from, remember 2014 when Italy sent the only male contestant and won.
Ok but I don’t think it’s the reason why he won, he stood out for sure, and it helped certainly, but it’s not the main reason why he won. He was a very good performer and the song was efficient.
A lot of girl ballads or groups this year!
I love most of the songs very much. But my favorites are : N. Macedonia, Ireland, Estonia, Germany and Georgia.
This poll definitely seems more realistic than the one on Eurovisionworld gotta say haha, it seems to get a lot of fake votes over there
Aaaand just as I say that the huge sudden spike in fake votes for Spain hits here too… Ugh
I find the songs from The Netherlands, the UK and Spain enjoyable. I actually think one of them has to win and has the best chance. We have Ukraine there too. The four of them are the best in each own field. The Netherlands: danceable and romantic teenage-friendly electronic banger. Uplifting and easy-to-listen. Spain: the most kid-friendly entry (alongside Ukraine), colourful, happy and catchy. Uplifting and easy-to-listen too. The UK: the most teenage-friendly entry (alongside The Netherlands and maybe Armenia). Catchy whistle break, danceable, girl band with attitude, probably with an interesting staging. I’d consider the English language a plus… Read more »
Armenia has the biggest sound of this edition, the most trendy, France has the biggest and longest high note of this edition, North Macedonia has this beautiful ethnic sound that appeal to a lot of people. How they are not strong. I know you want to make Spain appear as the best etc, your right but be realistic about the others.
I think Armenia has the best shot here! I like UK too but I have a bad feeling about the live performance. Spain is very Disney Channel, it could work but it’s a bit too repetitive. France and The Netherlands have a good chance to be in top 5 too. Finally North Macedonia and Germany could pull something out but I don’t see them winning. North Macedonia simply because it’s the kind of song that just can’t win junior, Germany because the song is not good enough but the performer seems great and she will probably gain a lot of… Read more »
well right now my three votes are for the Netherlands Spain and Armenia but I’m really, really just hoping the UK doesn’t win. The music video is exceptionally suggestive and it makes me extremely uncomfortable that it’s both directed and choreographed by men (Dan Shipton and Kieran Daley-Ward). It’s acts like that which put me off watching JESC sometimes although I do enjoy it
I’d like to see Spain or the UK winning.
Armenia And Germany Are Most Child Apropriete I Think It Is Between Them and Spain
My favourites are North Macedonia and the UK, but I also really like France, Germany and Armenia
I only care about North Macedonia and Germany. I don’t like the entry of my country: The Netherlands.
I like Germany’s song. Good vocals, good message. I saw a snippet of the rehearsal and I am excited! She could potentially win the juries (1-5), and I think it would do more than well with the televote (4-7). Im not saying it’s a potential winner, but I think it can make it to the top 3.
I like Spain, it’s too junior and catchy…and Sandra is singing about her experience of life as a child…
If youre going for quality songs then its Armenia Ireland & UK.
If youre going for child friendly age appropriate to the word junior then Spain & Ukraine
Surprise not applicable to either category Germany
Overall weak year imo but France, North Macedonia and Georgia are my favourites, Netherlands and Germany are also very good. I get the hype around Armenia and UK just not my cup of tea..
Only children should decide the winner. This is for them. No adults should vote.
Don’t they allow 3 years old to vote in Sweden? They probably called up for Loreen from the kindergarten
Actually they didn’t vote for Loreen (only gave her 1 point), but voted for Theoz, M&Ms and Smash into Pieces instead 😉
OK, perhaps there should be at least one 3 year old on all national juries moving forwards. Wonder how you could bribe them though. Haribo and Kinder Eggs?
What if you live in country where adults have to look after children with their internet safety?
Armenia, Estonia, France, Netherlands, North Macedonia, United Kingdom. I don’t really have one that stands out; this year is strong!
And Spain!
North Macedonia for the win. If they were to send these kinds of songs to the adult Eurovision, they would qualify with ease. Such a pity…
I think it is too adult and NM doesnt get great televote, I dont know if it can win…
I think the same, for the adult competition it would be a bop…
North Macedonia have the best song in a weak year.
Estonia, Germany, Armenia and Georgia all stand out to varying degrees but after that, it’s all a vit uninteresting to me.
For an adult point of view but I dont know if the kids judges will like the song, for me it’s too serious…and in the televote NM dont get well…
North Macedonia would be ideal, but I would be equally happy if Spain, Netherlands or Armenia won
Netherlands, of course i’m dutch, so i am supporting us for another win, and i will also vote for ourselves
I think it’s time for North Macedonia to win
They deserve it, the song is excellent
Will be rooting hard for them
i really love germany’s song, and FIA looks like a legend in the making
