[Apoca]

This Polish snoozefest. HELP.

 

[Zu]

Warsaw 2021 was never a possibility, was it? What a boring load of old guff

 

[Alla]

This is your average diva with an average song that Kala and friends would lose their shit to.

Not exactly MONSTER though are they?

Five points MAXIMUM!

I thought this German entry was amazing when I first heard it - probably the shock of a German entry having some va va voom for once - but, erm...

 

[Alla]

Some bits remind me of that 5ive song.

 

[Suomi]

We danced to Germany quite a lot in Sweden in March (once)

IS IT RUSSIA YET

 

[Lucille]

Actually yawning.

Which, honestly, is fine for a BIG 5 entry. I felt the same way about Satellite.

 

[Alla]

IS IT RUSSIA YET

LAST ONE, they know how to keep us here

 

[Madison]

I’m not against doing a bond theme - but why would you pick Tomorrow Never Dies?

 

[Alla]

This song is nice, but not what I want now with my vino tinto and snacks.

SVT comes up trumps again.

Imbecilic EBU.

 

[Zu]

Oh EEEEEEUUUUURRRRGGGGGHH

It gets WORSE AND WORSE!

 

[Apoca]

I find Iceland perfectly pleasant and enjoyable when it comes on but considering it was the dead-on favourite to win the whole thing I don't think I've played it even once since March.

Would have been great to see Iceland win but as a winning song it would have been a soft shrug from my side.

I don't think this would win after watching this in the middle of the "show". I think it would be Lithuania or Russia.

What did the EBU do?

They are playing some preselection performances instead of videoclips like EBU (Lithuania).

Norway* is growing on me. It's quite anthemic, actually

EDIT: I MEANT NORWAY NOT ICELAND

 

[Apoca]

This year Norway really would have been the overrated fan favourite fail. Thank God Europe got on board with Spirit In The Sky.

 

[Zu]

I bet this wins

The EBU are just playing the official video clip submitted by the delegation. For Iceland that was the performance; I agree that the Lithuanian delegation should have submitted the live version though.
