I did this series back in 2021 and really enjoyed it so I'm restarting. In this blog series, I'm going to go through all 36 Eurovision Entries for this year and give my thoughts & opinions on the song, potential staging for Eurovision, and how I think it will do in the contest. I will be also be ranking the competing acts.

🗨️: A strong production and vocalist, Austria has many strengths this year. Kaleen is a seasoned perfomer with a catchy tune and strong performance ability. So why am I very meh when it comes to Austria this year. Part of it comes to how dated it sounds. I feel teleported back to 2012 whenever this comes on and it doesn't feel like a song that can compete in 2024. The heavily layered vocals also really push this back. This is a really fun song to sing along to when it comes on in the car, but I do believe the song itself is weak and repetitive.
🏆: I think Austria's success depends on if Cyprus/Malta/Georgia make it to the final. Austria is a lock qualifier in my opinion so it just depends if the other three make it, cos if they do I can really see them taking votes away from Kaleen. I think Austria really need to work on their staging cos the last two years they had fan favourites who both flopped their expectations live due to messing up staging/vocals. We know Kaleen can sing, so the performance needs to be perfect for Austria to succeed. Overall, I think Austria can easily get left hand side in the final, but any further I'm not so sure. Top 10 is to be questioned.
MY RANKINGS (4/36)
1. 🇦🇲 Armenia - Ladaniva "Jako'
2. 🇦🇹 Austria - Kaleen "We Will Rave"
3. 🇦🇺 Australia - Electric Fields 'One Mikali (One Blood)
4. 🇦🇱 Albania - Besa Kokedhima "TiTAN'
The next song I will comment on is Azerbaijan!
