sources are telling me San marino’s song is in Spanish Also edit, I love disko but they FUMBLED the live performance

Dude just jinxed the Netherlands 💀💀

"For some reason they also hate Norway" that aged pretty well😂

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...

Btw joosts song actually has a deeper meaning it's dedicated to his parents who passed away when he was young

The backstory behind Europapa is even more incredbile than the song itself but unfortunately many people watching won't know it

Babe wake up Maqwell's talking about Eurovision again (Btw I'm really happy you're doing it again for this year's edition!)

I love how I clicked this video in 28 seconds

I love how Eurovision has 37 countries competing and Maxwell casually ignored that one country nobody wanted in this year's Eurovision.

Us germans need to finaly send Electric Callboy....

Joost found his mother on the sofa as a 13yr old, a year after his dad passed away from cancer. She died of a cardiac arrest and that moment Joost lost everything and had go to into care. 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....

San Marinos entry is in Spanish btw. The band is from Madrid. Ironically they attempted to enter for Spain last year (notice the Benidorm line) while Nebulossa tried to enter for San Marino last year and now they both made it but for the other country.

10:58 we can't go one video without a classic Maqwell mess up. SPANISH = ITALIAN🔥🔥🔥

"Something about the italian language" Who's gonna tell him boys?

FINLAND IN THUMBNAIL #1 🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅 Edit: 3:47 FINLAND #1 🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅 Edit 2 4:01 it whould have been held in Tampere Finland as it has the biggest arena to hold the event. (FINLAND STILL MENTIONED 🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅) EDIT 3: FINLAND #6 🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅

Came for Eurovision, stay for the Betis shirt

JOOST KLEIN DROOM GROOT!!!!!! 1983! 12 POINTS TO THE NETHERLANDS!

Who's here after Joost Klein's disqualification? Honestly really sad.

If you are dutch you know it is a fun song with emo lyrics

Megara is singing in Spanish, because they are Spanish group that just took part in San Marino's qualification for Eurovision

as a dutchie, im so so SO proud of Joost we finally chose an artist thats actually used to performing and is a big name! absolute banger

It's weird how you're not an Eurovision review youtube channel and somehow you make the best review videos on the subject!

Absolute tragedy that Joost Klein got disqualified. They took Cha Cha Cha from us last year, and this year Europapa. I wonder what banger will be screwed over in 2025

I'm a Eurovision addict and it's amazing to see someone usually not focused on Eurovision make a ranking video ! These are the best, nothing overanalyzed, just "I love this, I don't like this,..." This being said it hurts to see Azerbaidjan and Slovenia so low on your list, but also finally someone who has this same awkward feeling about the Cyprus song !

Maqwell is really consistent with the jurgen klopp usage

please look up the meaning of Joost Klein's Europapa, because it has a deeper meaning than just happiness, it's about the death of his parents at a young age for more information, LOOK IT UP!!! and thank you for putting Joost Klein at the top of the list, he really deserves it after everything he's been through.

Very sorry to say this, but Finland is NOT an SCANDINAVIAN COUNTRY. IT IS NORDIC. I can forgive you this once, but not again. Every single Finn will get mad if you call us Scandinavian, it is just in our blood. I even don't know why, but still DO NOT CALL US SCANDINAVIAN... THANK YOU.

20:45 There *has* been a song about Europe at Eurovision, "Insieme: 1992", with which Italy won in 1992, which celebrated the European Union and the fact that together (insieme) in 1992 we would be able to live and work (and love) in one another's country.

As an estonian- you did good🇪🇪lets hope we win AGAIN🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

As an Irish Eurovision fan this is the most hyped I've been for my country since 2011 and I feel that we have picked a great representative for us and no matter what happens I can be proud of my country this year and infootball terms it kinda like going from Sheffield United this season to Real Madrid. also during their second rehearsal they have makeup on them which had ancient Celtic writing which translates to Ceasefire.

As a British fan who really likes our entry, whinging about our own song every year is basically a national sport lol

San Marino's song is in Spanish :)))))

Croatia is like mix between käärijä and electric callboy

Please continue uploading this every year

As a Finn I will never forgive the jury for 2023🤬

So happy to see another person love Europapa! I'm so proud of our submission this year and for Joost Klein it was a lifelong dream to perform at Eurovision. The reason the Netherlands is not number 1 in the odds is the jury. In the televote it might be 1st place, but the jury won't have it in the top 5 I expect.

Will never forget the San Marino part 2

Oh Norway. I adored you. You did not need to come last…

bro no need to classify the video as "man with little music knowledge" because you don't classify your football content as "man with little football knowledge" you know us fans kind of just figure it out after a while

There were some Europe-related songs in Eurovision's past. The first one that comes to mind is the 1990 winner "Insieme: 1992" by Toto Cutugno. Very anthemic as well.

Lithuanian here - I, too, am awfully upset a pandemic took away our one chance of victory :'))) love that you see shades of "On Fire" in "Luktelk" haha! And your spot to Estonia warms my heart. 🫶 Excellent video ✨️

man i love slovenias 2022 entry 😭

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

Its the crossover I didn't know I needed it, but I want it! Edit: I am German and I hate how we always send the most boring songs. But there are rumours that Stefan Raab wants to produce the german selection next year. He is responsible for Lena and our win in 2010 and his entries always finish in the top 10. So let's pray

one small correction and one fun fact about san marino: -the song is actually in spanish since the band is from spain -loredana berté, italian singer who was very popular in the '90s, tried to represent san marino by participating in the contest (unfortunately she came second). why? because she wanted to go to sweden. to pay a visit to her ex husband. bjorn borg. yeah, the tennis player.

Seeing this after Eurovision, as an Estonian THANK YOU!!!

LETS FUCKING GO(I'm a Macedonian and I'm devastated that we are too corrupt and broke to participate so i'm going to live vicariously through everyone else)

The San Marinese song is in Spanish, Megara is a Spanish band and they have a pretty cool story - they competed in the Spanish selection last year and were rejected this year, didn’t make it through the semifinals at the San Marinese selection it got put through in a “second chance “ round, and then won the selection. Spain’s act, Nebulossa, competed in the San Marinese selection the previous year but didn’t make it past auditions. Crazy switch!

Bro I just watched your 2023 version of your rankings yesterday and I was legit hoping you'd make another one.

Mother Teresa was a horrible person. Making a song about her sounds like a really bad idea.

In six hours' time I am off to Malmö for a week's Eurovision. Got tickets for all the three live shows, couldn't afford to get rehearsal tickets as well this year. We agree on a lot (Croatia, Austria, Switzerland, Estonia, UK) but way off with Azerbaijan which is my favourite!! The voice of the man with the moustache is beautifully haunting, and the song has a nice electronica beat to it which reminds me of my Buddha Bar chill-out remixes. Just makes me smile! I'll be looking forward to all 36 ;-) songs.

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

I really enjoyed your video last year and im glad you decided to do one this year. Nice ranking.

That's gonna be the only content related to the ESC that I'll watch because I love seeing people rank music

"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

Love you man, keep it up. You always gonna have a hardcore audiance. your personality make every topic funny

great video, haven't watched any others from you so I don't know but nice work, and it surprises me watch someone from abroad (of Spain) with a Betis shirt haha. On the topic of songs about Europe itself, I would like to add that in the contest of 1990 for example, there were quite some songs because of the European Union treaties and stuff like that, but yeah, this topic could appear more than it currently does

Love how you placed the eventual last place and 1st place contestants in the right order but next to eachother

Yea I had europapa added to my playlist last week and finding out now that it’s in Eurovision 🤣

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

first time i listened to Croatia i fell in love, its very relatable to me. Also Ireland is amazing, the witchy themes, i'm very excited for live performance. Good ratings, i agree with most (except finland haha)

I also have very little music knowledge and watching you give your opinions is just fun. I like the idea of Eurovision (we could never have something like that over here), the absolute theater of it all and the drama from corruption to just regional bias it always finds itself in is just great tv. I'll always remember Damiano David being incredible after winning for three things. No shirt, the liquor, and feet on the table. A modern day king.

Real rankings: 1. Europapa 2. Everything else

Ranking timestamps: I was scrolling for ages but didn't find anyone who did this already 🙃 so if you found this here are all the timestamps 5:09 Cyprus 5:34 Azerbaijan 5:41 Iceland 5:57 Moldova 6:16 Germany 6:37 Albania (AOT joke appreciation 😂) 6:58 Slovenia 7:26 Australia 7:45 Malta 7:58 Czechia 8:19 Latvia 8:42 Portugal 9:01 Luxembourg 9:29 Ireland 10:18 Serbia 10:46 San Marino 11:02 Denmark 11:22 Poland 11:41 Spain 12:02 Sweden 12:46 Greece 13:16 Georgia 13:42 Belgium 14:10 Ukraine 14:36 Lithuania 14:58 Armenia 15:13 Norway 15:39 Switzerland 16:16 UK 16:50 Austria 17:15 Finland 17:46 Italy 18:13 France 18:50 Croatia 19:30 Estonia 20:33 Netherlands

OMG LETS GOOO THE LONG AWAITED VIDEO

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

Definitely an improvement of last year. As a Croatian who loves football though I can not deal with finishing on the podium but losing in the end anymore 😭😭😭

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

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.

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

Keep doing these every year, I love them !

Amazing that you put Estonia in number 2. I really love that song and I hope it won't get overlooked🎉

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

i was looking forward to this video a lot

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 wish Germany dared to send an alternative singer who sings in actual German

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.

please do this again, I love these

unfortunately the netherlands are disqualified for the final

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

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

.... 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.)

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

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

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 💀

i have been waiting, longing, seeking this

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

bro you jinxed it lmao

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

Love from Estonia! loved the attempt to pronounce the title

Very dissapointed in eurovision disqualifying the obvious winner (joost), his song was a banger. Also, ESTONIA MENTIONEDDDDDDD 🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🔛🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪

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

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

the polar bear has reached arlington texas again

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

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)

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

Have waited for thisss

Love the eurovision stuff!
