If Baby Lasagna wins, it would be equivalent to Denmark's 1992 Euro story. He wasn't even supposed to participate in Dora (Croatia's Eurovision song pick contest), he got a chance only because another contestant quit at the last moment. He didn't even write this song for Eurovision, it was supposed to be just an "album filler" song. It would be quite some story...

Hense the burning house at the end of his clip. He lived with an older brother for a while but ended up in crisis care. Most of the lyrics are about seeking help all over Europe but not finding it anywhere. Joost described his song as a collective of happy memories from the time he had both his parents and watched ESC back then. And he wants to give today's kids a fun song to remember they watched with their parents...like Joost did once. He even said to his parents: One day I'll be on that podium....

Thank you for putting Estonia so high! They are my favourite this year and it always makes me sad to see them rank so low on other lists.

Love from Estonia! loved the attempt to pronounce the title

Keep doing these every year, I love them !

I'm team Netherlands too. Slovenia way too low imo. Ireland are definitely one to watch, the rehearsal clips look sick. Also MEGARA are Spanish and the song is in Spanish. Literally anyone can enter the San Marino pre selection as long as you pay a fee, which in turn pays for San Marino's participation fees. Funnily enough, Nebulossa didn't even make the semis of San Marino a couple years ago, while Megara also completed in the Spanish pre selection last year. If you want more Eurovision, national final season is so fun and you end up with a playlist of bangers double the length of just the songs in the main competition.

OMG LETS GOOO THE LONG AWAITED VIDEO

19:30 based Maxwell (btw your pronunciation of the song title is spot on)

I’ve never watched EuroVision but I have watched every minute of last year’s video and this year’s video and you may yet convince me to watch one

We need a reaction to the eurovision final rankings and winner for sure !

5miinust and Puuluup (Estonia) released an album together a couple weeks ago and it ABSOLUTELY SLAPS, stream Kannatused Ehk Külakiigel Pole Stopperit!!!

"for once they experimented (Ireland)" WE BROUGHT A TURKEY CALLED DUSTIN ONE TIME, IS THAT NOT EXPERIMENTING?

"Soldi should have won"...well, welcome to the club!! He definitely should. But, again...in so many years the runner-up song should have been the winning ones. But unfortunately the world is not a fair place

had to click when i saw klopp and the funky noodlehead man together. once i didn't see finland and estonia below top 10, i knew you could be trusted. thank you, fellow football bro

Nah I really gotta practice for my exams and then of course lord Maqwell had to bless us with posting this video...

I have to correct you there, in 1980 Belgium had a song called Euro-vision by the band Telex.

please do this again, I love these

megara, who is representing san marino, is a spanish band who the year before tried to win benidormfest (spanish national selection) but failed to make the cut also this year. so they said “fuck it” and tried applying for san marino and won it

.... I call Iceland's entry the "Weight Loss commercial" song not going to lie. My top songs are Greece, Switzerland, Armenia, and France. But honestly, I really like most of these songs. I haven't even looked into what most of the songs mean, or even watched all of the music videos. It's based entirely off of the songs themselves. As someone who's nonbinary, finding out that it's what Nemo's song is about? That... explains a lot honestly. Honestly, after finding out about the close ties between Luxembourg's song and the song a lot of us rank 37 and just don't acknowledge? I don't really want anything to do with it either, so it gets an automatic 35 from me. Would be 36, but that goes to Azerbaijan, because I honestly don't think they should even be allowed to participate personally given their actions in Armenia over the last several years. (I honestly listen to a playlist on spotify that just... fails to add them to this years eurovision playlist.)

San marino song is in spanish, not italian, cuz the band is from spain and they sing in spanish

Love your commentary! (subbed!) Hate football, so I'm looking forward to other content. :D

10:57 song's in Spanish, but they did do the last chorus in Italian in honor of repping San Marino

11:55 trust me, you don’t want to know what it looks like. Most uncomfortable staging I’ve ever seen. Also, I literally got Luna (Poland) as an ad on this video 💀

One year on and I also still share your rage over Finland not winning last year

Absolutly wonderfull video! Love from spain. Nice shirt BTW :D

Maqwell, even though I don't play FIFA, you always seem to pop up in my interests. What a surprise to find out you're a Eurofan. Hope you enjoy the final on Saturday! Also, Italy won in 1990 with a song about the European Union, so there has been a song other than Europapa about Europe Edit: My top 10 Italy Armenia Norway Estonia (top 4 is so close, I love this song too!) Finland San Marino Austria Netherlands Switzerland Australia (you hit it, 2016 nostalgia)

I agree with most of your favorites, my favorite is Croatia, its fun catchy and they have never won so it would be nice. Estonia is very underated if they have a great staging I think the crowd will go wild. France could also be a big surprise there are very few ballads this year and his voice is stunning. I am Italian so of course I love Angelina too. Europapa is fun too but maybe it is 'too' Eurovisiony ??

funny that you compare Lithuania's The Roop 2020 and Silvester 2024, because The Roop also entered the national selection this year which of course Silvester won with a huuuuge margin. anyways great video and great music taste

i was looking forward to this video a lot

What I'm getting from this is that you're probably saving seeing the stagings for the actual contest. There are currently 30 second rehearsal videos for all of the songs and the betting odds were highly influenced by them (Switzerland dropping from first and Ireland climbing to eight, etc.) I'm not sure if you decided to not talk about the lyrics and ending of Europapa on purpose, but in case you weren't - the song is actually dedicated to Joost's parents who died when he was young. In it he actually sings about traveling all over Europe, but still feeling pain wherever he goes. This is reminiscent of some of his other songs (Florida 2009, Papa en Mama) who also talk about his parents' death, but in comparison to them Europapa is about letting go of that trauma. That's why in the ending of the music video we can see all of his memories burning, as he's finally letting them go. And finally here's my top 10 this year: 1. Croatia 2. Netherlands 3. Switzerland 4. Lithuania 5. Estonia 6. Italy 7. France 8. Slovenia 9. Armenia 10. Greece (I'm also really salty about Estonia being so low in the betting odds)

haha joost got disqualified, gotta love this competition definitely not political only music right

Croatia needs to win Eurovision since they were robbed from winning World Cup in 2018

The robberies didn't stop this year...

i have been waiting, longing, seeking this

Love the eurovision stuff!

I'm very suprised Olly Alexander from Years & Years is in this competition.

Maqwell San Marino is not singing Italian. It's Spanish.

2:36 now you've opened the floodgates, and I need to know what you thought about Meet the Grahams

Have waited for thisss

MAQWELL I WAS WAITING FOR THIS YOUR VIDEO GOT ME HOOKED LAST YEAR AND IM IN TOO DEEP THIS YEAR IM SO READY

Sweden sending marcus and martinus is so iconic, every girl my age (including me) had the BIGGEST crush on them in like 2017. Haven't heard of them since but I'm so looking forwards to that.

fun fact: Marcus and Martinus played semi-profesional football in their country of birth Norway. Their club actually play against Bodø/Glimt (yes, the club that smashed Mourinho's AS Roma 6-1). They also played against Rosenborg B team where Maecus scored twice.

@@akmalbasyhaazis I have absolutely no idea what I will do with this information, but knowing it is cool.

Estonia’s song this year is so great and unique. I am glad you like it too as it’s soo underrated!

18:07 Dardust is also the composer for Luxembourg's entry

Maqwell's ranking actually similar to mine!
