1. THE NETHERLANDS 🇳🇱 – Meadow – “Freeze”

Mircea: I love how Netherlands is sending catchy songs every year, and this song is no exception. Definitely it will be a televote-favorite, and Meadow’s energy and charisma will bring a good result for the nation!! 10/10

Reza: Amazing hook, and her live performance is also great. Some may argue that it’s very repetitive and that the structure of the song is a bit weird, but I enjoy every single second of it. I think this is the most catchy song of this year for me. 10/10

Raul: 8/10

Stefania: 9/10

Titi: 9/10

Average: 9.20

2. PORTUGAL 🇵🇹 – Inês Gonçalves – “Para onde vai o amor?”

Reza: This is such a vulnerable and beautiful song with a very authentic Portuguese touch. It may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but I hope the juries will give it the flowers it deserves. For me, this is one of the highlights of this year’s competition, and I hope it will do well! 10/10

Titi: Oh, Portugal… I really love the vibe you bring to this song, and the lyrics are truly moving. But one thing kept it out of my top 5: the song feels a bit unfinished. It pulls you into deep emotions and makes you wait for that “culminating moment” that should bring tears, but its somewhat linear structure lets the feeling fade at the end. I really admire what Portugal is trying to bring, and I hope the staging will beautifully complete the song. 9/10

Mircea: 5/10

Raul: 6/10

Stefania: 8/10

Average: 7.60

3. ITALY 🇮🇹 – Leonardo Giovannangeli – “Rockstar”

Titi: Italy, you really tried something different this year, but I don’t think it’s what I wanted. The style of the song is really nice and I understand the direction you were going for, but it feels a bit average. Aside from the chorus, which I actually really like, the rest of the song is pretty mid and quite easy to forget. 7/10

Reza: like what they tried to do here, it’s very different and more authentic compared to the others, but I don’t think the delivery is that strong. Sadly, the song is just not very pleasant to me, and I have a hard time connecting with it. That being said, I do appreciate the originality and that it’s something different from the other participants. 5/10

Raul: 5/10
