Five songs to keep track of in Eurovision Semi 1 2025
1. Iceland. Væb – « Róa »
The honor of starting the entire this year’s Eurovision went to Iceland’s version of Jedward, brothers Matthíasson in Væb. They have clothing in reflective emergency blanketgraphics from the turn of the millennium, fast sunglasses and a disarming stupid party song that you get mildly back just by hearing. Perfect start!
2. Poland. Justyna Steczkowska – « Gaja »
Poland’s Justyna Steczkowska returns to the competition after 30 (!) Years with a kind of intersection of WachovskiSistarna’s exhausted film « Jupiter Ascending » and « Game of Thrones », including gigantic CGI dragon and air travel. Is it one of the best songs of the year? No. Is that essence of the Eurovision we love? Oh yes.
6. Sweden. Kaj – « Just swim sauna »
Rarely has a Swedish contribution felt like that Lovely. Here, Goa Vibe gets the trump choreography, the folk -home care suits are sitting where they are going, the number is gently upset With a converted sauna and a great joint screen landscape and the alliterating chorus slides off the tongue as an overbray cabbage root box.
13. The Netherlands. Claude – « C’est la vie »
A really cozy minor song containing all the most famous phrases of the French language except « UNE Baguette ». The stage show Is taken straight from Eurovision 1998, including a small semi -circle by violinists, but plus points for the bizarre biceps spanning roreography that the dancers are engaged in.
14. Croatia. Marko Bošnjak – « Poison Cake »
I do not intend to say against the odds, which places Croatia somewhere at the bottom of the semi -finals, but still want to express some appreciation for this idiotic mischid for contributions that place itself in the classic Eurovision category « Sexy vampire » with shoulder pads, lace blouse, furcape and really good hair.
