If you’ve got the chance to really speak your mind and do what you feel and express yourself how you want, then this is freedom. Drag is freedom.

i hope that with loreen's second victory that eurovision doesn't become, for lack of a better word, swedified for the next 3 years. eurovision needs to stay fun and camp, and i don't know if it really did that for a while after 2012.

Wrapped 2023 (Aijamisespava Edition!)
Oookay, taking a break from my messenger role in Eurovision Land to bring you something different (buckle up, this is going to get long). Yesterday was Spotify Wrapped, and while I'm off celebrating my favorite songs that made it to that top 100 list, I also become a wild statistician and bring you my stats.
General Stats: Well...I listened for 139,902 minutes (more than my friends and family), my top artist was Taylor Swift with Evanescence, Panic! At The Disco, My Chemical Romance, and Loïc Nottet rounding out my top 5. I'd go into my top 5 songs but.....Loïc Nottet took 3rd and 4th with "Mélodrame" and "Mud Blood" respectively. What about the rest? That's what I'm here for.
Welcome to my Eurovision 2023. Any Eurovision song that makes my Spotify Wrapped is in my Grand Final. So countries can participate as many times as they appear. So here is my list. I'll have their actual placement on my Wrapped in parenthesis.
Latvia 2023: "Aijā" by Sudden Lights (1)
Serbia 2023: "Samo Mi Se Spava" by Luke Black (2)
Türkiye 2010: "We Could Be The Same" by maNga (5)
Switzerland 2021: "Tout l'univers" by Gjon's Tears (7)
Norway 2023: "Queen Of Kings" by Alessandra (9)
Australia 2023: "Promise" by Voyager (12)
Slovenia 2023: "Carpe Diem" by Joker Out (13)
Czechia 2023: "My Sister's Crown" by Vesna (14)
Georgia 2023: "Echo" by Iru (15)
Italy 2023: "Due Vite" by Marco Mengoni (17)
Armenia 2023: "Future Lover" by Brunette (19)
Austria 2023: "Who The Hell Is Edgar?" by Teya + Salena (20)
Lithuania 2023: "Stay" by Monika Linkyte (23)
Finland 2023: "Cha Cha Cha" by Käärijä (26)
France 2023: "Évidemment" by La Zarra (27)
Romania 2023: "D.G.T. (Off And On)" by Theodor Andrei (29)
United Kingdom 2023: "I Wrote A Song" by Mae Muller (31)
Australia 2016: "Sound Of Silence" by Dami Im (48)
Czechia 2022: "Lights Off" by We Are Domi (49)
Switzerland 2020: "Répondez-moi" by Gjon's Tears (52)
Bulgaria 2017: "Beautiful Mess" by Kristian Kostov (53)
Greece 2022: "Die Together" by Amanda Tenfjord (56)
Sweden 2015: "Heroes" by Måns Zelmerlöw (59)
Finland 2014: "Something Better" by Softengine (60)
Belgium 2015: "Rhythm Inside" by Loïc Nottet (61)
Italy 2014: "La Mia Città" by Emma (64)
Austria 2022: "Halo" by LUM!X and PIA MARIA (68)
Russia 2016: "You Are The Only One" by Sergey Lazarev (69)
Belarus: "Forever" by ALEKSEEV (72)
Denmark 2013: "Only Teardrops" by Emmelie de Forest (73)
Ireland 2020: "Story Of My Life" by Lesley Roy (79)
Ireland 2022: "That's Rich" by Brooke (87)
Ukraine 2017: "Time" by O. Torvald (93)

Cyprus 2021: "El Diablo" by Elena Tsagrinou (97)
Moldova 2010: "Run Away" by Sunstroke Project (100)
Honorable mentions go to "Gladiator" by Jann and "Novi Plan Drugi San" by Filip Baloš for making my Wrapped at 21 and 32, respectively. They may not have made it to the Eurovision stage, but they have a soft spot in my heart. Unfortunately, I did not have any Junior Eurovision songs make it. But if they did, they would be listed.
