Eurovision 2023: Three Stars From the Semi-finals Who May Just Win It All

By Devin Ibanez & Fergus Wade

This week, my boyfriend and I had the honor of attending the Eurovision 2023 Semi-finals this week for the first time. It was incredible. This year’s competition has the potential to blow last year’s iteration out of the water!

Just within this semi-final show, there were three performers who showed that without a doubt they have what it takes to win the Eurovision crown. You may be thinking, what does this random American rugby player know about Eurovision and why should I listen to him?

To that I say, not very much. However, these performances were undeniably elite (and I had a certified British Eurovision fan to corroborate with). In no particular order, here are our top 3 picks to watch in the final:

Unicorn: Noa Kirel - Israel

The video speaks for itself, an electric live performer with catchy song that stood out as the night went on. Noa is the epitome of a pop star – stunningly beautiful with incredible vocals and phenomenal physicality. Their performance was simply on another level, and I cannot wait to see them shine in the Eurovision Final. I am a believer in the power of a unicorn.
