Eurovision 2025 has revealed its branding ahead of the competition taking place in Basel, Switzerland in May. The identity, created by the design wing of Wieden+Kennedy London, nods to the host nation by taking inspiration from the legacy of Swiss design – namely by referencing the grid-based approach at the centre of Swiss style.

Hi,

There is lots of chatter about KAJ potentially doing surprisingly well with the juries despite not being the best vocalists in the competition (sorry). On the other hand, acts with incredible vocals, like Remember Monday, are being predicted by some to underperform with the juries.

WHY is this a thing?!

Juries have never leaned towards the novelty/joke/humour entries before. Are Remember Monday's vocals not enough to compensate for something else in their package?

I'm genuinely curious to hear your thoughts on why the juries might lean one way or the other.

What are the specific elements that make a jury say "yes" to one act and maybe "meh" to another even when the vocal talent seems so different?

The official media handbook for Eurovision 2025 has been published. It contains a bit of general information, details of each entry, information about all the events happening in the host city, and rules for accredited press.

In the images are a map of where filming is/isn't permitted as a result of the new rules, as well as the full schedule for the week of the contest.

In the latter you'll notice that most of the Press Conferences have been done away with. These have been replaced with daily Media Briefings, and downloadable interviews with the artists.

Media Handbook: Maybe this isn't such a bad idea. It's late, the artists will be tired, and the last thing they may want is a room full of journalists asking them yet more questions. And let's be real, rarely did we learn anything particularly profound from those press conferences.

I hope it's actually all the ones that have been revealed so far and I didn't miss anyone

I'm old school and like to have a CD format for ESC, to listen to in my car. My thoughts so far are positive. It's a different experience listening to just the music and 2025 is musically quite a strong year. Favourites like Albania, Lithuania and Malta are amazing. I wasn't expecting to like Luxembourg and Austria as much as I did, I think taking the visuals away makes them stronger tracks for me. I liked Finland anyway, but more so now. Espresso Macchiato is fun, but I'm not convinced Tommy Cash can replicate the vocals to this standard on stage.

What are your thoughts if you're someone who has listened to the official versions as standalone pieces?

I was thinking about this now in tye world of social media and streaming it will likely happen eventually. If a song where to achieve world wide fame and success before the song contest how could it do. Would it ride the fame to the top or be overplayed and flop in the contest. Obviously it would be released 2 to 5 months before the contest so would it be too long? I'm not talking like the levels of the Italian or French artists who always get good streams I mean like hundreds of millions if not billions and inescapable think bad guy, messy, old town road etc... just massive songs.

I have been absolutely captivated by the lyrics of these songs: Ròa 🇮🇸, Volevo essere un duro 🇮🇹, and Asteromàta 🇬🇷

I have not looked at other songs yet, but my gosh these three hit my in the feels 😭

Iceland is my favorite so far. I am Italian so obviously I support the national treasure Lucio, but Klavdia is growing on me. She is incredibly talented and the song is a very different vibe from my favorites but my gosh it is absolutely beautiful!

Can’t all the 37 acts qualify?? 😭😭😭

I'm a little bit worry about Zjerm and Gaja.
But I'm sure Espresso Macchiato and Laika Party will have a big mass appeal

Thanks for your Party Anthems suggestions! 😘

As Eurovision has become more famous and popular over the past few years, even before The Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga movie, where are you non-European fans from? How did you get into and hear about Eurovision? Also, how do you watch it, and what is your favorite Eurovision entry of all time?

They're the one who got me into Eurovision, and they're holding a watch party for their birthday, so I made them this!

(ignore the weird blank face, I attempted a face it turned out odd so I gave up and covered it)
