Eurovision 2025: Reviews and rankings by the Wiwi Jury

Basel hosts the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 this May, where 37 countries are set to compete for the trophy. The Wiwi Jury — our in-house panel of music unprofessionals — has now determined who they think the victor should be. We’ve ranked each of the acts participating at Eurovision 2025 and written our own reviews of their songs. It’s hard work being honest, but somebody has to do it.

Our jury consists of 17 jurors who hail from Australia, Bulgaria, Denmark, Greece, Lithuania, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Türkiye, United Kingdom, and the United States of America. We are truly international, y’all!

Each juror assesses each song independently and then awards the entry a score from 1 to 10. The highest and lowest scores are dropped (to remove potential bias) before we then determine the Wiwi Jury average.

Scores and reviews were done in March 2025, based on available versions of the songs at that time. As always, Wiwi Jury reviews will not be changed to reflect new information from pre-party performances or the Eurovision rehearsals.
