Sam Ryder - Spaceman (2022)

From TikTok to Eurovision and now a national music star. Sam's song is about being a fictional astronaut who circles round the earth but longs to feel his feet on the ground. It's also longing about wanting to be back with that special someone and saying as long as they will.

Mans Zermerlow - Heroes (2015)

There must be something in the water in Sweden as they know how to make great music. Mans song about searching for and embracing your inner courage whilst battling inner troubles. Heroes is about projecting positivity to others. A very good feelgood factor in there

Lordi - Hard Rock Hallelujah (2006)

Finnish rock was certainly embraced hard/metal rock, it also showed that any genre can become part of the contest. The song has numerous biblical references and being united by the spirit of rock music. The screamo voices definitely gave more power to the performance

Jamala - 1944 (2016) 

Definitely caused some controversy in the neighbouring Russia simply cos of its subject matter, and Jamala well and truly stood her ground when singing it. The song is a direct reference to the conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and alleged links to Nazi Germany in the 1940's

Conchita Wurst - Rise Like a Phoenix (2014)

Austrian singer songwriter Thomas Neuworth aka Conchita Wurst definitely came a trailblazer when singing about rising from the ashes admid moments of devastation and soldiering on regardless. Rise has all the elements about fighting for freedoms
