任何一位乐迷都可以证明，音乐不仅仅是娱乐。它有能力让我们振奋、鼓舞和感动。情绪在其中起着至关重要的作用，第 67 届欧洲电视歌唱大赛的表演者将调动各种情绪，努力与热情的观众（有时甚至是狂热的观众）产生共鸣。
To do so, the performers plan to get intense with audiences by leaning into energetic moods and shifting away from the neutral moods that were more prevalent last year. In total, seven of this year’s 37 songs fall into the “energizing” mood category1—the most prominent primary mood descriptor2 across all of the entries. While we saw an equal number of “energizing” entries last year, this year’s contest will feature more songs with other energetic undertones.
例如，去年 "向往 "是参赛歌曲中最普遍的情绪（共有 9 首），而今年只有 4 首。同样，今年的参赛歌曲中也没有以 "感性 "为主要情绪描述的歌曲，而去年则有五首。此外，以 "兴奋 "和 "挑衅 "为主要情绪的歌曲数量也是去年的两倍：分别为四首和两首。
The shift toward more energetic moods bodes well for competitors, as half of the 24 winning songs between 1998 and 2022 were characterized by five moods at the more energetic side of the spectrum: “energizing,” “excited,” “fiery,” “rowdy” and “urgent.” And in the last decade, seven of the last 10 winning songs have expressed at least one of these moods. This year, 19 of the 37 entries express “energizing,” “excited,” “fiery,” “rowdy” or “urgent” as their main mood.
Of these five moods, “fiery” is the most common among winners since 1998, including last year, when “Stefania,” Ukraine’s entry from hip-hop band Kalush Orchestra, took the top prize. “Stefania” was one of three entries with a “fiery” primary mood.
Dana International’s win for Israel in 1998 with her song “Diva” was the first entry with a “fiery” primary mood descriptor to take the top prize. Her win also kicked off a trend that we’ve seen hold through 2022: 14 winners have featured moods at the more energetic end of the spectrum. Israel’s win in 1998 was also more in tune with the pop music of the time—a shift that has carried through most of the contests in the years that followed.
相比之下，1956 年开始的前 42 届比赛的获奖歌曲都不那么有活力：在这一时期的 45 首获奖歌曲中，只有 4 首（1969 年有 4 首共同获奖）是情绪较为活跃的歌曲。其他获奖歌曲的主要情绪活力水平一般或低于平均水平。
In total, this year’s entries cover less emotional range than last year, as the songs cover just 12 primary moods—down from 15 in 2022. Entries are more heavily stacked in the positive and energetic areas of the mood spectrum, which puts more songs in contention to win from a recent historical perspective. In looking at the top 10 contenders to win, based on the odds at eurovisionworld.com, seven exhibit one of the five moods that have dominated in recent years, suggesting that history will likely repeat itself when the final vote is tallied following this year’s contest.
今年的比赛从 2023 年 5 月 9 日开始。半决赛于 5 月 11 日举行，决赛于 5 月 13 日举行。
