The ESC Juniors have their say! Written by on May 18, 2013

For the last month, the ESC Juniors have been reviewing all of this year’s Eurovision songs (www.escjuniors.com). We’ve cross-posted their final thoughts on this year’s songs here on Insight. What do the kids like in this year’s Contest?

For our last post this year we thought we would give you our Top Ten songs.  So how this is going to work is that we will explain why our top three are our top three and then just give you names. As we said before now this is just a list:

10. Moldova

9. Belarus

8. Russia

7. Iceland

6. Germany

5. Georgia

4. Cyprus

(Unfortunately the girls didn’t get to stay up and watch the semi-final, so Cyprus at #4 is a pyrrhic victory for the island – Dad).

3. Denmark

We think that the song has a really good beat.

2. Ukraine.

It has a unicorn in it and it’s a nice tune.

1. Malta.

Gianluca is really enjoying himself and it’s a really good song!

You can read the girls reviews of every song this year on ESC Juniors.
