Notable: Bulgaria’s "Beautiful Mess" (2nd, 615 points) marked a high, Italy’s "Occidentali’s Karma" (6th, 334 points) was a pre-show favorite, and Moldova’s "Hey, Mamma!" revived "Epic Sax Guy" mania.

Absences: Russia withdrew after Ukraine barred its entrant due to political issues, and Bosnia and Herzegovina stayed out, keeping the total at 42.

Correction: Greece did not participate in 2017 (last appearance was 2008); I’ve corrected the list to include Israel, which was in the grand final, to maintain accuracy.
