I would like credit @bluebell.graphics for writing the guides for 2022 and 2023 that served as inspiration. I may not be as good with words as she was but I hope people find it informative.
Reddit has been doing some good work fact-checking even if being catty about it.

1. 🇪🇪 5miinust & Puuluup - (Nendest) narkootikumidest ei tea me (küll) midagi: A mouthful of a title brought to us by a merger of two acts that may sound incompatible on paper but mesh together like they were meant for each other. This is what the contest is capable of producing.

2. 🇬🇷 Marina Satti - Zari: It's rare to hear such a total example of musical syncretism like what Greece has done this year. Unmistakably Greek, merged with contemporary rhythms and a voice that is both from beyond time and now. Pay attention.

3. 🇳🇴 Gåte - Ulveham: There's storytelling and there's STORYTELLING, and Norway has decided to be the storyteller in this entry lifted out of their folklore but filtering it through modern sounds in a 21st-century update. The howls, the icy winds, the darkness can all be felt.

4. 🇵🇹 Iolanda - Grito: Portugal, in its usual fashion, sends another entry that exemplifies its musical tradition with great artistry. Hypnotic, meditative, it swirls around you in its sonic embrace. Let's hope the public voters gets swept into it as well.

5. 🇮🇹 Angelina Mango - La noia: Angelina has big shoes to fill but she's already stepping out on her own with a song about harnessing the idleness of boredom to self-improve, and the song is anything but boring, hell, it is incredibly catchy. It's time to cumbia la noia.

6. 🇭🇷 Baby Lasagna - Rim Tim Tagi Dim: Another entry favored to win (very open contest), a true underdog having no been slated for the NF lineup until someone pulled out. This rousing number of regrettably leaving home for better pastures should resonate with listeners.

7. 🇺🇦 Alyona Alyona & Jerry Heil - Teresa & Maria: Ukraine is back with merging plaintive calls to saints with rap verses that has increasingly been associated with Ukraine's music exemplified by their 2022 win. The wartime metaphors will not be lost here.

8. 🇦🇲 Ladaniva - Jako: While shorter than the other entries, it packs a huge punch merging local sounds with a universal sense of asserting oneself. Arguably the most unabashedly ethnic song this year, it is guaranteed to rouse the crowd.

9. 🇨🇿 Aiko - Pedestal: Lovers of the 2000s post-punk rock revival would be fans of this song about self-empowerment after a breakup. While the live performances had started off rocky, the song itself has a strong foundation that only got better with practice.

10. 🇧🇪 Mustii - Before the Party's Over: Where France's Slimane has the better vocals, the entry from Belgium has the better songwriting, giving the listener a sense of tension and desperation that's more inwards-looking than towards a nameless lover.

11. 🇸🇮 Raiven - Veronika: Slovenia goes a little experimental with this atmospheric song the evokes the mystique and magic of the titular character. She has the vocal chops, and stage presence, she may help improve Slovenia's odds of qualifying and getting a decent placement.

12. 🇷🇸 Teya Dora - Ramonda: The dearth of ballads this year means the few that are stand out, and this one certainly does. Contemplative yet resolute, much like the rock Teya stands on, it could be a sleeper hit or slip by unnoticed. Let's hope for the former.

13. 🇫🇷 Slimane - Mon amour: First song announced, everyone's gotten used to it. Slimane is a vocal powerhouse and as far as French love ballads go, this one is very much so. He will be doing a bit where he steps away from the mic to sing a cappella to prove his vocal prowess.

14. 🇱🇺 Tali - Fighter: It is wild to imagine Luxembourg returning to the contest, but they have and after a very high-production NF, they brought out a bilingual bop that has been in my rotation frequently. While not a remote winner, let's hope they continue bringing it.
