Malta’s 2024 entry ‘Loop’ performed by Sarah Bonnici is my Eurovision is my guilty pleasure. Bonnici hooks me with her first note letting me know that she is here to compete. She gives me everything I want from a sultry, pop song and Eurovision submission, including a dance break. Bonnici sells the song every moment that she is on the stage.
When Bonnici sings ‘you got me on loop’ I have no choice but to, in fact, put her song on loop. My husband counted and in one session I listened to ‘Loop’ 21 times in a row. Even though I discovered the song in May 2024 it became my most played song that year (and I would not be surprised if ‘Loop’ is in my Top 5 this year — the number one spot is already going to Germany’s 2025 Eurovision entry ‘Baller’ by Abor and Tynna).
I know it was not the strongest song that year (but I must say I am uncertain how ‘Loop’ finished 16th in Semi-Final 2...) but for me ‘Loop’ will always be a winner.
