The EuroAlfa Panel โ€” a group of six Eurovision-loving bloggers โ€” is here to review and rate this yearโ€™s Junior Eurovision songs. Weโ€™re not professionals, but our passion for Eurovision and music drives us to share our honest opinions. Weโ€™ll be rating each song on a scale from 1โญ to 5โญโญโญโญโญ, with 1 representing a tune that didnโ€™t quite hit the mark, and 5 reserved for those that truly shine! Next up, we take a closer look and see if Armenia’s ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ฒ “Cosmic Friend” by Leo impressed our panel!

Antonio: Armenia simply never dissapoints and they are probably one of the strongest countries at JESC. The song and the production is simply stunning and the whole 80s disco vibes suits well with Leoโ€™s voice. A really strong entry, even tho the televote might forget about them as some point ๐Ÿ™ hope to see them achieve high ๐Ÿค— (4โญ)

Florin: Armenia is SERVING again. The song is soo good, the production is amazing, and the music video is also great. With a good staging, which we know Armenia can do, they could easily win. (5โญ)

Laur: I think we have a winner. I simply love the song! The mix that Leo brings with Cosmic Friend is what I was waiting for: childish vibe, kindness, love and enjoy the joy. I hope that he will have a strong staging and vocals. For me this is the perfect entry to win in a competition for kids. (5โญ)

Raul: As usual, Armenia was the last to release their song. When I first saw the title, I expected something similar to Serbia’s 2021 entry, but I was pleasantly surprised. It’s an excellent song with a strong chance of finishing in the top 3. What’s impressive is how Armenia consistently delivers fresh and competition-appropriate entries each year. I’m eagerly anticipating the staging and hope it closely mirrors the music video. (4.5โญ)

Reza: Armenia has delivered an outstanding song and performance. Tokionine is an exceptional producer, having crafted one of my favorite JESC songs ever, “Qami Qami.” He has done a fantastic job with Leo’s entry as well. This modern pop track has an infectious groove that could easily make it a contender for the title. Ultimately, the live performance will be crucial, and Iโ€™m excited to see how they will bring this to life on stage! (4.5โญ)

Stefania: Albania is having a decent entry that resonates with some audiences but could struggle to stand out in this year. (5โญ)
