Welcome to the fifth round of Junior Eurovision 2025 Reviews! Today, we will analyze and look into the competing songs from Poland, North Macedonia and San Marino! 5 of our bloggers rated each song from (1-10) and 2 of them also left a comment of their impressions!

1. POLAND 🇵🇱 – Marianna Kłos – „Brightest Light”

Raul: Poland is back in the game, everyone! Marianna comes with a simple song carrying such an emotional message, and she delivers it with total confidence. I can’t wait to see the live performance — something tells me this could be a real dark horse for the trophy, even if I can’t explain exactly why. 10/10

Reza: It’s a very sweet and cute song performed by a charismatic singer. It has a Disney-ish vibe, which was a common theme in this year’s Junior Eurovision, but it definitely stands among the better ones. The production is solid, as are her vocals, and the highlight of the song is its catchy chorus. That being said, it’s a very solid entry, though it lacks some originality and a true standout moment. 8/10

Mircea: 8/10

Stefania: 9/10

Titi: 9/10

Average: 8.80

2. NORTH MACEDONIA 🇲🇰 – Nela Mančeska – „Miracle”

Mircea: Another ballad, this time from North Macedonia, and again, a very beautiful one. Nela is an amazing artist with a mesmerising voice, and the song is dreamy, it carries you away from this world. It can be quite forgetable for the fandom, which I think makes this song underrated, but I believe in North Macedonia’s chances for a good score! 8/10

Reza: It’s a very pleasant song, and North Macedonia usually delivers at Junior Eurovision, even if their live executions tend to be a letdown. This feels like the kind of entry that could continue their “12th-place curse,” but ultimately everything will come down to the live performance. On first listen, it didn’t grab me as much as some of the other songs, but Nela has a lovely voice, and I believe she can elevate the track on stage. 7/10

Raul: 5/10

Stefania: 6/10

Titi: 7/10

3. SAN MARINO 🇸🇲 – Martina CRV – „Beyond the Stars”

Titi: I want to give a special mention to this one! San Marino really surprised me in a great way. The song is truly good, and Martina’s voice is really unique! I also love the Italian–English blend in the lyrics — it gives the song its sparkle! Well done, San Marino, I’m rooting for you to get a top 10 placement. 9/10

Reza: This is by far the best song San Marino has sent to Junior Eurovision. It’s very likeable, radio-friendly, polished, and overall just a genuinely great track. It has a clear “Snap” (ESC Armenia 2022) flavour to it, which works in its favour. I also hope she actually plays the guitar on stage, as it adds an authentic touch to Martina as an artist. With strong staging, San Marino could finally be rewarded with the result they deserve, and I truly hope they secure a good placing this year. 8/10
