My order after one listen and one listen only

 

1    Finland
2    Georgia
3    Australia
4    Estonia
5    Cyprus
6    Ireland
7    Israel
8    Montenegro
9    Sweden
10    Romania
11    Belgium
12    Serbia
13    North Macedonia
14    Azerbaijan
15    Czech Republic
16    Poland
17    Malta
18    San Marino
 

Whole lot of mixed stuff. Especially Malta, which seems like such an excellent song but was performed so...poorly  

 

No idea what to make of Georgia and Serbia, I could have just as easily switched them. The only one I am certain of in terms of my position is Finland, that opened and nothing came anywhere near it  

[heywoodu 16,004]

Poland, Czech Republic and Azerbaijan all through, wow. Did not see that coming after the collection of missed notes, trembling voices and overall disappointing performances  

 

At least Finland is though  

[rybak 3,303]

 in final! First time since 2017! 

 

But  is shocking qualifier. I'm sad of  and  but they were expected to be eliminated...

[Werloc 3,191]

It was a painful day today  makes me more sad that Slovenia and Latvia had to miss out on a final for this.

 

 

It's tough to rank anything below, because I don't really enjoy the songs below the first 10  Also, during the entirety of the contest, Italy was my nr. 1, but Portugal kept growing and growing and it bloomed into something amazing.

Romania is not a shocking qualifier, I believe WRS has a dedicated fanbase all over the world that are into Romanian pop. 

 

Also, really made me wonder what actually happened to Romania, because they nearly had a clean record of qualification, but since 2018 they just couldn't catch a break. Although I think in 2019 they were robbed.
