1. CYPRUS 🇨🇾 – Rafaella and Christos – „Away”

Titi: Cyprus, you were the country I had the highest expectations for 🙁 After last year’s absolute banger (WHICH WAS REALLY UNDERRATED), I was really looking forward to them coming back even stronger this year. Unfortunately, the song feels very generic and doesn’t transmit much. I do really appreciate the blend of Greek and English — it sounds beautiful together — but sadly, it doesn’t help that much. 5/10

Reza: Uff… this was hard to watch and listen to. The production is very weak, and the melody feels like something we’ve heard a thousand times in every Disney movie ever made. Their voices don’t blend that well together either. I just don’t have many positive things to say, but they are very sweet and clearly have a bright future. Sadly, this song just doesn’t do them any justice. 3/10

2. MALTA 🇲🇹 – Eliza Borg – “I Believe”

Mircea: I can’t believe Malta is opening the contest with this masterpiece! The song is so magical, I really feel like I’m in a fairytale and the music video carries me away. I hope the staging will reflect the magic the song has. One of my favorite entries of this year for sure! 10/10

Reza: I think if someone asked ChatGPT to create the most Disney-style song with powerful vocals and cliché lyrics, this is exactly what would come out. It’s not a bad song, but it’s so heavy and hard to truly enjoy. It feels predictable and overdone, to the point where it just isn’t impressive anymore. 6/10

Raul: 9/10

Stefania: 7/10

Titi: 6/10

Average: 7.60

3. UKRAINE 🇺🇦 – Sofia Nersesian – „Motanka”

Raul: Ukraine, hello — this is how you fight for the trophy! It’s the second year in a row that Ukraine has one of my favourite entries. Motanka finally brings something different to this edition, especially among so many ballads. This could end up anywhere from top 3 to bottom 5, but for me it’s definitely top 3. Her confidence and the maturity in her voice are so captivating — you just can’t help but hum along to this song. 10/10

Stefania: Sofia is vocally strong and confident, and the song fits her perfectly. With just a little improvement in the overall performance like stronger camera work, and more impactful staging, this could easily secure Ukraine the win without any problem. So yeah, it’s cool. It’s уникально. 10/10
