Guess the fun vote all went Croatia and the gay and musical theatre vote Switzerland?
Croatia seemingly got the rock vote too. Poor Norway.
As ever it's a show about European politics pretending to be about songs(Still remember Conchita Wurst v Russia after Putin's anti-LGBT+ laws and invasion of Crimea.)
But then why Switzerland?
In a time of everyone hating everyone they get it by default?
Incidentally why were Germany booed?
It was a shock Israel got so many.
And the Dutch banning... From what I've heard insanely harsh. Though I don't have the details.
Honestly not too upset about this song. Perhaps influenced by my ecstatic girlfriend. Been like a world cup final.
But seriously as said the guy could do without the rap but I did like aspects of the song. Certainly preferable to the usual generic tosh like Loreen.
Wouldn't have been my choice but the guy has skills.

Last post by Josquius - May 11, 2024, 05:17:37 PMI've had it identified to me that Austrias hair and makeup was taken from Arianna grande. The costume remains unknown.
I get it. The guy has skill. He was hitting some Mika-Freddie Mercury high notes at the start and then he was doing some really physical prancing about whilst keeping up a totally steady voice.
I don't think he'll do so well with the public. That's where the fun songs will shine. But the judges will be pros rewarding technical skill more.
