Eurovision 2024: Here are the songs with the best shot at glory

Year after year, the Eurovision Song Contest delivers a dazzling, glittery spectacle of only barely contained chaos. There's all the lights, fireworks, flags, sequins, disco balls and dance breaks, of course – but there's also the songs themselves, which this year boast displays of (vocal) gymnastics more impressive than anything you'll see flipping across a mat in Paris this summer.

Know this: 2024's brace of 26 Eurovision finalists represent what is, even for this contest, a maximalist bunch. These songs go big. I'd go so far as to say that the broadcast on Saturday (starting at 3:00 p.m. ET on Peacock) is shaping up to qualify as Peak Eurovision, so prepare to bask in the glorious bombast of it all.
