I checked Italy song.
Its weird. Doesn't match how they look.
But seems alright.
Its notable when a country does something proper and non eurovisionny they win. Yet they keep sending europop crap.
Iceland should have won though. Apparently they couldn't take part so had to send a recording?

Yeah they just got out of quarantine after one contestant got covid. ESC used a recording from their second rehearsal.

QuoteAn audit has been opened into how Malta spent its €650,000 Eurovision publicity budget. There's mounting suspicion that a significant chunk of it was used to place big bets on their own entry in order to improve its odds.
:hmm: :lol:
Let's bomb Russia!

Malta is becoming one of the most corrupt countries in the world  :(

There's nothing they do anymore that doesn't smell of something odd.

It's an awful employment of public moneys, but it's probably an effective move when you think about it coldly  :lol: They successfully generated a narrative that Malta was one of the frontrunners.
