The ones that are enjoyable but would skip on my playlist:


OK in their genre but not my cup of tea


Don't really like


EDIT:
Moved to the songs I actually like, and to don't really like

Spain will sing in first, France in 12th and Netherlands in last.

I don't think that the running order is important because eurofans will vote before the show so Spain still a potential winner

The TV-Favs are last Place in their Halves.
Malta another #2.

It seems the french delegation really wants to win again. But Netherlands got the 16, so they couldn't tank them.

I don't think that NL will win but I start to wonder if Germany couldn't be a dark horse with that spot. I think "Ohne Worte" is a bore but people keep raving about it.
Spain was killed with opening but France remains the favorite imho.

I always personally thought it was between Spain & France. Both have that sort of 'cutesy' little pop number going on. However, Spain is now opening and France has got a good running order position and then surrounded itself with somewhat hopeless entries while all its main competitors are in the first half (except NL which is closing).

I also find Ohne Worte to be a bore and don't see the mass appeal it seems to have got.

 

[Realest]

has always been the TV-Winner, but the Juries are obliged to give their Title to (without being biased/patriotic).

 

[njdevils94]

would be such a dull and dated winner. looks nice from the pictures.

I hope Germany can somehow win. It's by far the best song this year with a clear message and unique concept in sign language behind it.

 

[Looren]

Without taking my personal taste into consideration I think the win will probably be between , I can see as a possible winner too, of course this all depends on the live performances

 

[0scar]

Couldn't care less about winning though but would be kinda nice if wins, guess it is possible as France won last year
I hope the winner is either , I like Estonia as well but they don't have any shot at winning

I'm not too fond of Armenia, seems to get a lot of praise from fans but would be disappointed if it wins, but eventually I don't really care, I'd like to see a country host an Eurovision event that didn't host for quite some time now, like Spain

Same reason I wouldn't really like a Armenian, French (or Polish but okay) win

 

[ESCConor]

I think the winner will be ether France, UK, Armenia or Netherlands.

The running order for me does mean Spain probably wont win, Netherlands and Armenia are in favourable spots in the RO plus the UK being between two ballads in Ireland and North Macedonia does help our chances too.

Definitely feels very open as to who could win, which I quite like with JESC compared to the normal ESC.

 

[Bobjan FR]

I think it's gonna be one of theses :

But the magic of junior eurovision, it's to see an unexpected country as Ireland of Portugal take the trophy
