Eurovision 2019 - My Top 6 (Before The Show)

(Before we begin... Can we start by saying Maltese people really know how to get people this hyped? I mean, the show didn't even began and yet they can get 500 euros if they have the Vodafone credit. How neat. I aspire to have this level of confidence someday.)

Well, hi again.
Eurovision 2019 is at one month away from us already. Time flies fast, it seems. And yet, the closer we are to Eurovision, so we are to Post Eurovision Depression, so I'm not certain whether this is a good thing or not.

As the usual goes, the ones following this booklet may already know what I'm about to say, but it's nice to be sure.

This is based on my own personal opinion. If your favorite isn't in, I may not like it or simply just missed the cut by a place or two. From 41 songs, I can't just put all of them in a luggage so that it'll break.

Also, beforehand, I must talk about our what could've been 42nd entrant and entry of the year, which unfortunately had the most "luck" among them all.

XX - Ukraine
MARUV - Siren Song

Maruv, sweetie, it seems like Ukraine doesn't deserve you at all.

A young act, which managed to break several charts with "Drunk Groove", had been announced as the replacer of Tayanna, which withdrew from the selection not long after the line-up was announced.

While she had a different song in mind, it seems like the DJ didn't want to cooperate, therefore "Siren Song" became her second option.

She expressed her love towards the contest in repeated times, was simply genuine and kind, and most of all respectful. While others would bash the contest for being political, corrupt, so on and so forth, she was incredibly open to representing her nation in Eurovision and looked positively to the opportunities.

She even managed to win her own semifinal fair and square. The televoting adored her, and her choreography went viral.

aaaaaaaaaand Ukraine decided to do the ultimate ultimatum.

I've discussed this in greater detail during the rant named "Oh, the drama", so I'm just keeping it short. 2/3 jurors went way overboard with their political nonsense (and of course, the Jamala meme you all know and love), and to be fair and honest the only sane one was Verka.

And don't get me with the contract, because that was the last drop overall. Ukraine really missed a chance of doing an easy top 5 with her.

Oh well, karma will strike eventually upon Ukraine.
Maruv, you're still part of our family, even if Ukraine didn't want you. We, the audience, did. Ukrainians did want you to represent them. And we hope that you'll finally get what you deserve in the end.
(now, stan, stream and support Siren Song and MARUV's entire musical discography, alright thanks)

Now, to the actual countdown.
This time I was nice enough to put a 6th position too. Why?
It's basically kinda tied with my 5th and I don't want to leave it aside in favor of the other.
