I should be writing my politics essay right now but instead I fell into a Eurovision rabbit hole. In no specific order:

1. Melovin - Under the Ladder (Ukraine 2018)

Song goes very hard and has a very vampiric look and I love vampires.

2. Rasmussen - Higher Ground (Denmark 2018)

I just have a love for the Nordic countries and it’s just badass in general 

3. Hatari - Hatrið mun sigra (Iceland 2019)

I think it’s very obvious I was going to have this on the list. I love the look, I love the genre of music, I love the beat and I love the message.

4. Verka Serduchka - Dancing Lasha Tumbai (Ukraine 2007)

It's just so wacky. The shiny costumes, the song and Verka herself. Perfect.

5. Little Big - Uno (Russia 2020)

One word: Funky

6. Loreen - Euphoria (Sweden 2012)

I just find this one magical and it gives me chills, reminds me of when I was younger too.

7. Alexander Rybak - Fairytale (Norway 2009)

I feel like I heard this before I started watching Eurovison which is odd because here in the UK we don’t really play Eurovision songs on the radio and I would’ve been 5 when it would have been on the radio (if it was). All time Eurovision classic.

8. Daði & Gagnamagnið - Think About Things (Iceland 2020)

Very sweet. I think the story behind the song is very cute too. It also goes incredibly hard.

9. KEiiNO - Spirit in the Sky (Norway 2019)

Magical. Lead me to learn about the Sámi people because of Fred Buljo. Love it in every way.

10. Conchita Wurst - Rise Like a Phoenix (Austria 2014)

Gives me chills and makes me cry. First time I watched Eurovision and this was the first song I watched. Gives me hope.
