Eurovision 2019 Song Ranking Part 3

30. Denmark

Leonora - “Love is Forever”

Every Dansk Melodi Grand Prix has one song that overflows with saccharine on top of that Danish blandness, but they never win until this year. Leonora and her song are much more charming than the others. The multilanguage lyric with a rare appearance of Danish is a nice touch. Also she’s a figure skater, how cool is that!

29. Serbia

Nevena Božović - “Kruna”

The Balkan ballad of the year. She has a fantastic voice. Normally I love these, but it’s too drawn out and slow to get started for me.

28. Australia

Kate Miller-Heidke - “Zero Gravity”

I absolutely love the verses, such a good message and builds up tension for the chorus. The operatic chorus took a while to grow on me but it did. This could be higher if not for the repetitive “nothing holding me down” last minute.

27. Finland

Darude feat. Sebastian Rejman - “Look Away”

10 years ago Finland sent a EDM song whose biggest hits were in the late 90s and I loved it more than any other song and definitely more than most people since it came in last. Of course this year Finland is sending their biggest EDM export. It doesn’t stand out as far from the pack this year, but could have been a bigger contender 5-10 years ago.

26. Latvia

Carousel - “That Night”

Edging back towards the mid-decade coolness of Latvia. This is smooth and chill like a refreshing beverage. It’s subtle and simple, and I can’t find anything wrong with it.
