📢 No More First Past the Post Elections!
Thursday’s election results confirm what so many of us already know: the current voting system is broken. With 5 parties polling strongly, First Past the Post is delivering chaos and turning election...

Can we stop with the whole Make ____ _____ Again, it's overplayed and full of negative connotations with far right tendencies.

To all Political Parties thinking about using this, STOP.

6. Emmy - Laika Party - the reason behind the song is the most Eurovision thing

With a club anthem, you needs layers of beats and a beat drop to blow minds, revamp i'm sure.

Witch Woods is better than Laika Party #eurosong2025 #eurovision

5. Niyl - the beat is fire, the vocals are fantastic, the staging doesn't make sense, why the 3 dancers, the backing singers make sense though.

Great package #eurosong2025 #eurovision

4. Samantha Mumba - she was big from 2000-02 if she was the entrant in 2001, she would've stormed it.

My Way - I can see where she's going with this but the beginning could be stronger and more power and more soul & cohesion #Eurosong2025 #eurovision

For a long while, after Bambie Thug last year, the bar is set VERY high for Ireland

Good luck to the 6 competing for the ticket to Basel #eurosong2025 #eurovision

Obviously I want official confirmation for Remember Monday and Country music does stand out but more Netherlands 2014 please and less Iceland 2022 even though it is a great song but it got lost in the mix in the Final

What does the rest of the UK fans think? #eurovision

Montnegro - If you don't know who Nina Zizic is, she was part of the group for them in 2013 with Igranka which should've qualified

With her solo song Dobrodosli there is room for growth but revamp is needed otherwise it will be lost in the semi-final but welcome back to the contest #eurovision

Albania - I really do like it, the electro-folk traditional song "Zjerm", it's a massive improvement from last year. The revamp could rise it in the rankings even further.

Watch out for this one #eurovision #Fik63
