And that concludes #AdventEurovision! Thank you to all, like, four of you who paid attention 😂 I didn’t do this for views. I did it because, for all its flaws, I just love this contest. The eclectic music, staging and how it reminds me I’m part of this continent, are why I come back to it each year.

#AdventEurovision Day 24: 🇦🇹 Let’s end my series with next year’s host nation’s entry from the year prior. I still don’t understand how one technical hiccup could screw up their score so badly! The staging, choreo, 90s vibe and surprisingly solid vocals were absolutely awesome!🕺

#AdventEurovision Day 23 🇫🇷 The penultimate entry! 🙂 I originally had something from the UK planned for today, but changed it at the last minute. What it lacked innovative staging, it made up for in sultriness, build-up and an awesome vocal performance from Bourgeois

#AdventEurovision Day 22: 🇸🇮 Despite its low score, I flipping adore Slovenia’s debut ESC entry. Cole Moretti’s voice absolutely sores above the orchestra, the guitar riffs are mesmerising, and I LOVE his blazer! I would really appreciate having a copy in my size 😁

#AdventEurovision Day 21: 🇩🇰 Denmark’s 1997 entry is famous for three things. For being ESC’s second rap-song (behind the UK‘S ’95 entry), for being the only ESC song so far about phone sex, and for the… interesting choice of textile that was used for Kaj’s trousers 😁 🐆

#AdventEurovision Day 20: 🇳🇴 I couldn’t do this without paying tribute to the greatest nil-point act of all time. Legend has it that Teigen was so unhappy with the rearrangement of his song, he sabotaged his own act with his costume and performance. But BY GOD WAS IT WORTH IT?! 😂

#AdventEurovision Day 19 🇲🇰 I think my series has completely fallen off the map algorithm-wise now 😂 Oh well! I started so I may as well finish. In the meantime, here’s N. Macedonia's biggest pop star with the first of two songs she entered Eurovision with.

#AdventEurovision Day 18: 🇲🇩 Moldova are often stereotyped as the “jokey/fun” country. But with them hopefully coming back this year after a year’s absence, I wanted to showcase one of their more grounded entries. And one that took place in my home country!

#AdventEurovision Day 17: 🇧🇾 I’m not a fan of most of Belarus’s entries. With this one exception! There are so many things I love about this! The lyrics in their language, the speedboat through culture, the euphoric hooks and 3/4 measure, their chemistry… oh, it’s blissful! ❤️

#AdventEurovision Day 16: 🇨🇾 When it comes to Eurovision songs where fans ask, “How did it score so little at the time”, this is one of the default entries fans ask about. I dunno, maybe audiences weren’t big on the stone statue-inspired staging in 2012? 😆 Either way, it's a bop!

#AdventEurovision Day 15: 🇩🇪 This is the biggest reason I permitted myself to share music videos instead of live performances. "Baller" was my favourite song of 2025, and I WISH the staging was more like the video. This editing style and those models/costumes all look SO COOL!

#AdventEurovision Day 14: 🇧🇬 And now, it’s time for our occasional game of “Spot the Americans”. Two of the five members of this supergroup are yankees. I’ll leave you to figure out which ones they are 🙂 🇺🇸
youtu.be/vC-1tdGDFQc?...

#AdventEurovision Day 13: 🇷🇴 “Liubi, Liubi“ isn’t the only example of multi-lingual ESC entries, but it‘s easily one of the most charming (mostly from the verse-refrain structure with one language for each verse) and the funniest (the “French” guy cracks me up every time 😂 )
youtu.be/Y96QWdyx5TQ?...

#AdventEurovision Day 11: 🇭🇺 If you asked me what the most "Eurovisiony" Eurovision entry was, I'd either say Norway '19, or today's song: an electrifying folk-rock hybrid, complete with a breathtaking traditional dance and trademark "only just able to sing" vocals. 😆

#AdventEurovision Day 11: 🇮🇱 I know I’m playing with fire a bit here by including the country half of Europe wants out. But putting politics to one side and looking at the song objectively, I really do love this one. It’s like if Karen Carpenter learnt to sing in hebrew.
youtu.be/nNzy0DkpenE?...

#AdventEurovision Day 10: 🇦🇹 I was swept away by Austria’s 1999 entry when I first heard it. It just goes to show you don’t always need belting voices, elaborate staging or edgy themes. Oftentimes, you can make magic with something that’s simple, easygoing and cute 🙂
youtu.be/w7-2edBlVoE?...

#AdventEurovision Day 9: 🇷🇺 Whilst banning Russia was ethically the right thing to do after the invasion of Ukraine, I'll admit that objectively, they had some stellar entries. And I'm glad they ended on a high note with this folk-rap fusion feminist anthem.
youtu.be/V-Di9A28e5E?...

#AdventEurovision Day 8: 🇪🇪 Popera acts have competed in Eurovision long before the previous two winners did. Estonia’s 2018 entry isn’t the first. But with a custom “projection” dress that cost a whopping €65,000, it’s certainly one of the most eye-catching. 😮
youtu.be/ImawXdXIGd8?...

#AdventEurovision Day 7: 🇲🇰 I can sum this one up with a single emoji: 😭
youtu.be/0pAURAsum4A?...

#AdventEurovision Day 6: 🇩🇰 If you can’t write your song without resorting to a key-change cliché, why not write it with… *counts on fingers* six ☺️ Not that I’m complaining! It’s bouncy and camp, and the staging complements Norway’s ice-themed stage rather than clash with it.
youtu.be/BEiZ26G362s?...

#AdventEurovision Day 5: 🇬🇷 I don’t really have a whole lot to say about this one. I just think it’s got a good ring to it. Also, points for armography 😁https://youtu.be/ov6n4OkF7EE?si=b5SIQh9Me6UjfcXm

#AdventEurovision Day 4: 🇭🇷 Looks like this year, I'm doing this hashtag alone 😆 Oh well! I planned this months ago, so I'll just carry on with it. Anyhow, here's a fun 50s'style jig from Yugoslavia. That country no longer exists, so the flag is for the language, Croatian.
youtu.be/yvOPsKnKNIQ?...

#AdventEurovision Day 3: 🇮🇹 Way back in 1958, Italy sent a song that would become so massive, regardless of its placement in the contest, most non-ESC fans these days don’t even realise it’s a Eurovision song. Everyone sing it with me, “VOLARE, O-HOH! CANTARE, O-O-O-OH!” 😂
youtu.be/uF9mRDW6Gg8?...

#AdventEurovision Day 2: 🇬🇧 We Brits have a peculiar record of coming second place 16 times, more so than anyone else has and twice as much as any other country’s come first. My favourite second-placer has to be this charming and catchy double-Piano duet 🙂
youtu.be/N_WWnKt4GAY?...

#AdventEurovision Day 1: 🇮🇪 Let’s start with my favourite ever Eurovision winner. After winning two years in the row, Ireland probably expected to lose again with a piano-based ballad about growing old. What they sent was one of the most bittersweet songs in ESC history. 😢

Last year, I took part in #AdventEurovision throughout December. This year, I decided to do it again, but with a twist. More details in the image below… 🙂

Yes #AdventEurovision is done and dusted, but we all know the #Eurovision finals go to 26, so we can't be leaving them out!

Gonna take us back only 7 months(!), because of course it's time for the traditional Boxing Day rave! (which I just made up obviously... 🤣) 🇸🇪🇦🇹

Final thing from me for this! I've enjoyed it a lot!
I created a playlist of all 25 songs used by me during this advent!
Merry Christmas!

#AdventEurovision day 25: Tommy Seebach & Debbie Cameron - Krøller eller ej

This Christmas, let's all love each other, blond curls or not, brown eyes or not (to extend the message of the song a little bit).
