Every year, Eurovision attracts a large number of music lovers behind the scenes. After a 2023 edition won by Swedish artist Loreen, the European song contest makes its comeback this spring. After two semi-finals on May 7 and 9, the Eurovision Grand Final is scheduled for Saturday, May 11, 2024. It will be broadcast live from Malmö, Sweden, on France 2 from 9pm.
So, who will emerge victorious from this new edition of Eurovision? Does France have a chance? We reveal the 5 current favorites for this 2024 edition of the Eurovision contest, according to the bookmakers.
Croatian contestant Baby Lasagna's show, based on his song " Rim Tim Tagi Dim ", is sure to get your feet tapping and your head bobbing!
Baby Lasagna is the project created by author, composer and performer Marko Purišić. His style? Lyrics warning of certain social challenges, but tinged with humor, and mixed with an industrial metal sound close to that of Rammstein, for whom Baby Lasagna makes no secret of his admiration. The artist is also often compared to Käärijä, the Finnish candidate who came second in 2023.
Marko Purišić is no stranger to the Eurovision Song Contest. In 2019, the artist took part in the Croatian national selection with his other group, Manntra. He came fourth. This year, Marko Purišić came out on top with his new project Baby Lasagna and the song " Rim Tim Tagi Dim ". Previously, Baby Lasagna had already made a name for itself at home with the singles " IG Boy " and " Don't Hate Yourself, But Don't Love Yourself too Much ".
Positioned second just a few days ago according to the bookmakers, they now rank him first in the competition with a 32% chance of winning. Whether the bookmakers were right remains to be seen. One thing's for sure, though: Baby Lasagna 's performance is sure to blow your mind, with its dynamic, flamboyant scenography.
Nemo: remember his name, because you're likely to be hearing a lot about him. Previously considered the bookmakers' favorite, Swiss artist Nemo has finally lost a place. He is now ranked second with his song " The Code ". 7 letters for a surprising track that mixes genres and styles, such as rap, drum and bass and opera. If you listen carefully, you'll hear orchestral constructions and quirky melodies reminiscent of great bands like The Beatles and Queen.
In short, this is a clever musical mix imagined for this song, written in English, which evokes the Swiss singer and rapper's growing awareness of his non-binary identity.
Born in 1999 in Biel/Bienne, Nemo has four EPs to his name, and demonstrates a great sense of musicality and creative talent. So, will his song " The Code" help him win on May 11? Bookmakers now credit the artist with 16%!
At present, no one knows who will win the 68th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest held in Malmö, Sweden. However, we can tell you that the Italian candidate will be in the final on Saturday, May 11, 2024. Italy is a member of the famous"Big-5", along with France, Spain, Germany and Great Britain.

But then, who is Angelina Mango? A young singer born in 2001, she triumphed in Italy at the traditional " Festival di Sanremo " competition, which has seen Il Volo and Måneskin represent Italy at Eurovision in recent years.
Author, composer and performer, Angelina Mango has more than one string to her bow. In 2023, she took part in the 22nd edition of the'Amici di Maria De Filippi' talent contest. Thanks to her voice and her song " Ci pensiamo domani ", the artist finished second! So, can Angelina Mango hope to do as well or even better this May 11 in Malmö? Answer in a few days!

It's still too early to say, but the duo's song " Teresa & Maria " could well seduce the ears of the jury and viewers alike.
