Last year, it was Melovin with “Under The Ladder”. Two years ago, it was Blanche with “City Lights”. And in 2016 it was Iveta Mukuchyan with “LoveWave”. Once again, the time has come to ask our readers to cast their votes for the best music video of Eurovision 2019. You’ll need to take into account the cinematography, originality, acting, and overall awesomeness of this year’s videos. So who should win?
A colourful jungle. A mysterious portrait. A dance party on the streets. A fetus getting to life. And a 1920s style dance party. This year’s videos are as diverse as the songs, which makes us exciting to see which one is your favourite!
Please note that neither the videos of the live performances nor the lyric videos are eligible for our poll — just the official music videos that the artists have produced outside of their selections. And, as is the case every year, there isn’t an official music video for every entry. Some may still be in production and will be released after the poll is published, but don’t fret: we will add them to the count as soon as they’re released officially.
It’s now in your hands to vote for the best music video in the poll below. In order to make sure you don’t miss anything, let’s revisit the contenders in the playlist below! This poll closes just ahead of the first rehearsals in May. It’s up to you, Europe. Start voting now!

We’ll close this poll ahead of the first rehearsals in May, when we will announce who, in your opinion, has the best music video this year.
Let’s do this!
[polldaddy poll=10287755]After you cast your vote, you can defend your choice in the comments box below!
so the nhederlands has a better video then Malta ? yeah right hehehe .
Still waiting to see music video for the following:
* “Zero Gravity” (Australia)
* “Like It” (Belarus)
* “Sister” (Germany)
* “That Night” (Latvia)
* “Run with the Lions” (Lithuania)
* “Telemovies” (Portugal)
* “Too Late for Love” (Sweden)
Denmark, Estonia and Finland have official music videos too, though they have chosen their live performances as preview videos instead. Still the music videos exist and should be added to the list to vote for!
Most are surprisingly very good this year! A lot of artful, symbolic and beautiful imagery. You can also add Estonia to the list. For some reason they decided to upload the performance as the ”official video”, but official video exists from Eesti Laul. A notable shout-out to Michael Rice and The UK! What a beautiful video! I cannot believe they listened to my advice and gave the song a context! Best UK ESC video ever! Now I like it even more. 🙂 Videos I really love (in random order): – The Netherlands – Italy – United Kingdom – Czech Republic… Read more »
Armenia
Sad there is only one option. I voted for Oto’s music video bcs it reflects perfecly every line of the lyrics and looks really powerful, but I also should mention: 2. KEiiNO, bcs I highly appreciate their mv was inspired by a retro movie which was made in my country. 3. Lake Malawi, really creative. 4. Roko, bcs of his great acting, he managed to portray all the emotions too real, I felt them through my screen. 5. Sergey, kudos for using fantasy theme and THAT lantern omg. 6. Hatari, probably the most complicated video of those which make sence.… Read more »
duncan laurence’s music video is just him in the water for 3 minutes …
The Netherlands and Armenia have the best music videos,
the others are meh..
Chingiz, we love you and I love your song! Good luck dear! #Azerbaijan #Chingiz #truth #eurovision
Switzerland ,Greece,Italy,
Netherlands,Cyprus & Croatia.
Nothing special with the Dutch video at all…we only see him. Ukraina is out of the contest. But their video is GREAT! Sexy. My favourites: Cez. Rep, Malta, Azerbaijan etc
Netherlands video looks like Beyonce ”Runnin”, except he is naked
Belgium, Italy and Iceland for me.
Belgium – so personal and real
Italy – the scenes in the back of the car are heartbreaking
Iceland – love the industrial imagery
But, I have to agree that across the board there is a lot of high quality.
Italy ?? Thats a joke
Why is Italy a joke? The boy is in the back of the car, and then Mahmood is – signals how what happens to us as children stays with us into adulthood in what I thought was a clever way?
Italy has beautiful video , tells us story, very touching
Roko show your ass and you will have the best video
I voted for Czech Republic ??. But it should be much higher. It is very original. And The Netherlands is on the top because for the song. I also want to say that Malta and Azerbaijan have also very good music videos, and I would vote for they if I could.
Roko is the best, not need too much money to have good video
Azerbaijan, Iceland, and Malta are what I picked
I think this year is a pretty good one in terms of music videos though.
Armenia is smashing with creativity ???
Azerbaijan definitely. Looks expensive and the models looked awesome
Video doesn’t have to be expensive to look good tho
People vote for their favorite songs lmfao.
There is no way beautiful Montenegrin video is in the bottom 3.
I would have voted for Montenegro if the poll let me choose more than 1.
Bots go away. Croatia is bad this year.
This is about the video clip and not the song ?
Greece,the music video is pure ART!
Malta the best
Wha… Azerbaijan should be in top 3 for sure
Malta & Cyprus are the best!
LOL people voting for netherlands cause he shows his ass
Yeah. I didn’t get that either. It’s just a naked guy swimming…
Though, I’m also asexual, so…
All gay like to watch ass
I understand that a lot of people hate Georgia, and while I get that you can’t really appreciate the song without knowing the lyrics, the video was amazing. Sure there are other great ones like Russia, Slovenia, and Armenia, but y’all are really sleeping on Georgia
I hate you guys. Why can’t I choose 2 options? It’s just so difficult to decide between a naked hot guy and a feminist video with a huge message.
Still chose Armenia, as the Netherlands was definitely going to be first anyways
OMG why is Czech Republic so low??? And Netherlands’ video AND song is bad. Netherlands’ both song and video is generic so stop liking it!
It’s fine if you don’t like it, but I don’t think you know the definition of generic..
The lack of support for Albania’s video is KILLING me
Get over it.
Malta would‘ve easily been my number 1 without the lyrics
They should release the video without the lyrics after the contest.
I know that many fans love Arcade (rightfully so), but is the music video the best compared to Malta for example? I am not sure
I dream of bots
You dream of bots
Houdek is their God
We all dream of bots
You are stupid, I dream that you are stupid…….but you really are, this is not a dream
Agree
Italy’s music video has interesting use of symbolism in their music video. It supports the story of the song.
What story? Go and have tatoo
Wow, you are so dumb
Haha then tell me this big message? How to look like criminal?
@hello the video is very symbolic, you can see the relation with his father, the pain to became adult living with the pain of the abandonment and the rage towards his father, the mother figure, the feeling of a child that feels alone while his parents are fighting, and he feels alone even now that he’s an adult, the tatoo that symbolize the bond with the father -who has the same tattoo in the hand- that can’t be erased even though he gave pain to him and his mother, but he put the tattoo in his back because he wants… Read more »
Well its only a music video, it doesnt matter. The most important is the song and the staging
Greece or Romania, to be honest. A lot of effort went into those videos.
Also I like the subtleties provided by Belgium and Austria – I’m not just saying that to annoy Polegend; I really do actually like those concepts. And also: Armenia. So underrated.
Totally agree! Greece and Romania are among the best imo
romania’s music video is actually amazing. greece’s is also excellent.
the worst have to be belgium (the lighting is tragic, they managed to make a cute lil twink like eliot look like a mess), and austria (literally just paenda in front of a green screen with the same face for three minutes).
Oh, Croatians have arrived, time to leave this poll!
Go and leave, we wouldnt miss you
Croatia LOL
What a joke!
Italy Netherlands Malta Azerbaijan are all good.
Only Malta, sorry…
Italy haha this is joke?
I would say Malta, Greece and Iceland. With honorable mentions to Azerbaijan, Czechia, the Netherlands and Spain.
Well no doubt that Greece has the best one!Fulll of art,great aesthetics,like a painting,great video!
Malta, Greece and Azerbaijan
For me it’s down to Greece, Azerbaijan and Malta – Malta would’ve been better if there weren’t lyrics on screen
I see the UK have missed the boat on this with the video released Friday. Can I ask the European Parliament for for an extension on this please as we are not ready yet and we are having problems with the backdrop on the filming.
Call for an extraordinary summit of the EU Council 😉
It’s “Bigger than us” though.
Who in their right minds is voting for Croatia over Malta, Greece or Netherlands
Seems like Roko’s army is still alive.
Seems like The Netherlands army is still alive.
They’re bots
Roko please show your ass and you will be have the best video haha
Azerbaijan, The Netherlands and ?taly are the best
Romania very dark and ghotic ,Netherlands and Greece.
What I find interesting is that last year we had 39 music videos, and this year only 30. Nonetheless, here are the nominees for the Best Eurovision Music Video Award 2019: – Armenia – nice idea, and those black and red visuals are one of the best in this year’s edition – Azerbaijan – again, great aesthetics, more fairytale, fantasy, and it all done using one small room – Belgium – great use of light, coherent, simple, but effective. – Czech Republic – really creative and so hilarious – Greece – love costumes and choreography, and the shots’ compositions are… Read more »
Malta no doubt!
Well lets to be fair, it’s obviously Azerbaijan
