Are you ready to turn up the volume and witness Europe’s finest musical acts battle it out for Eurovision glory? Well, mark your calendars because Eurovision 2023 is right around the corner, and the race is already heating up with Belgium emerging as a strong contender.
But Belgium won’t have it easy, as they face stiff competition from Italy, the 2021 Eurovision winner, as well as France, Sweden and Iceland, who are all bringing their unique approaches to music and performance.
With only 20 countries making it to the semi-finals out of the 26 that will perform in the final, the competition is going to be fierce. Who will come out on top? Only time will tell.
Bookmakers Betfair currently have Sweden as the hot favorite to take home the title with Loreen set to perform her new single “Tattoo.” The pressure is on for Sweden to uphold their strong Eurovision reputation, having won the competition six times, second only to Ireland’s seven victories.
But don’t count out Finland’s Käärijä and their spicy track “Cha Cha Cha,” or the UK’s rising star Mae Muller and her break-up anthem “I Wrote a Song.” While Mae Muller may have fallen down the odds to 66/1, anything can happen in Eurovision, and surprises are par for the course.
One thing’s for sure, Eurovision 2023 is going to be one epic, glittery extravaganza. Hosted by Alesha Dixon, Hannah Waddingham, and Sanina, with Graham Norton returning to inject some wit into the proceedings, fans can tune in on May 13 to watch the spectacle on BBC One or iPlayer.
Whether Sweden continues their impressive streak or another country pulls off a surprise win, Eurovision 2023 is going to be the ultimate showdown of Europe’s finest musical talents. So, get ready to shimmy and shake and witness the musical extravaganza that is Eurovision.
