My top 18 (based on what you have reacted to): 18: Albania 🇦🇱: still lacks energy for me and it is rather forgettable. Needs a revamp for me to love it I think. 5/10. 17: Bulgaria 🇧🇬: really pretty but suffers with the same problem as Albania 🇦🇱 for me. 5.3/10. 16: The Netherlands 🇳🇱: copy and paste what I said before but just to a lower degree. 5.6/10. 15: Malta 🇲🇹: this is such a nice song to listen to and revamp improved the song so much on my rank. 6/10. 14: Serbia 🇷🇸: so unique and its build and the chorus is so pleasing to the ears especially when the girls harmonise together perfectly. 6.2/10. 13: Germany 🇩🇪: copy and paste what I said about Malta 🇲🇹. 6.7/10. 12: Ukraine 🇺🇦: this song packs such a punch. I feel like the video is not the best though and Olena can come off as a bit polarising. 7.4/10. 11: Portugal 🇵🇹: this song is just so ethnic. 7.5/10. 10: Georgia 🇬🇪: this song is just so cute. 8/10. 9: Azerbaijan 🇦🇿: this is such a strong ballad. Definitely one of the best of the year for me. She also has a stunning voice and the video is amazing. 8.3/10. 8: Armenia 🇦🇲: this song is such a bop. 8.4/10. 7: Ireland 🇮🇪: another bop that may be underrated sadly because it is not a typical genre you would see in JESC. 9/10. 6: Russia 🇷🇺: feel like the performance could be slightly better but the song is a bop though. 9.3/10. 5: Spain 🇪🇸: this song is a bop and so ethnic. 9.6/10. 4: France 🇫🇷: this song is a bop yet classic. 10/10. 3: Poland 🇵🇱: a bit dated but still a great entry from Poland. 10/10. 2: North Macedonia 🇲🇰: a massive bop and it could be a huge dark horse of the year. 10/10. 1: Italy 🇮🇹: amazing. Gritty yet good. Elizabetta is amazing too. 10/10. This year is so strong. I personally think this is one of the strongest JESC years ever. I like pretty much all (except 3 of the songs) which is so rare for me in Junior Eurovision. I wish the best of luck to all the singers I know they will do themselves and their country proud. Btw the song for Kazakhstan has not been ”officially” released yet. All we know about it is this. It is by Alnur and Beknur and it is called Fairy World (Ertegi alemi). Hopefully it will be officially released on the JESC official channel soon so all the songs are up officially.
