it's that time of year again! is anyone watching the finals/has watched the semis? esc is my greatest guilty pleasure so i've watched both haha. my favourites are probably greece and sweden, but since i can't vote for sweden by virtue of living here i guess greece will be getting my vote.
for the majority of you who probably haven't tuned in due to not being european/australian (or just not wanting to lol), i've included a few of this year's highlights, whether that be for better or worse is for you all to decide.
norway's iconic song. the artists are rumoured to be ylvis of what does the fox say fame, but they haven't revealed their identities to anyone so its anyone's guess
moldova's song made me feel emotions i didn't know existed. i'm not sure that was a good thing, but they did qualify for the finals so something worked
my favourite two:
plus 4-ish minute recaps of the two semis in case you want a full taste of the chaos

I can't believe points are going to the UK, it's Eurovision policy that UK don't get points!

ukraine won, as expected! i don't think i've ever seen anyone get that many public vote points? but i haven't exactly kept track. i'm happy for them, and glad that the 12s were so evenly distributed so all the favourites got a moment to shine

I've watched the finals and semi's as well haha. It's my favorite guilty pleasure! The anticipation of the points being given and all the extravaganza around it.. I love it.
I think my favorite song this year was Poland's. His voice is so beautiful. Usually I'm not a big fan of Poland's entries but I was really moved by this one.
Being from the Netherlands I was kinda rooting for S10 but I didn't expect her to win though. And our language probably sounds quite weird to foreigners so I'm surprised she did so well haha.
Moldova brought the fun to Eurovision, I really love that. I wouldn't have been mad if they won. It was quite catchy 😝
Poor Switzerland with 0 points from the public ouch…. I really didn’t like his song but I always feel so bad when this happens.

Germany hasn't won since 2010, I believe. I wasn't too fond of some of the songs, like only a handful were okay. I am not surprised Ukraine won.

𝘨𝘰𝘭𝘥𝘦𝘯 𝘴𝘶𝘯 Oh wow!! That’s cool to hear 😊 I always think our language sounds kinda clunky but I hope we can keep delivering entries like these too. I was wondering, since you’re from Sweden and you guys have taken many wins home, have you ever been to a live eurovision show?

ʀᴀɪɴʟᴇᴀғ 🍁 and i'm still obsessed with satellite to this day. i remember very little from the 2010 esc but the winner is sticking
Jademist i haven't! i don't think i ever will because i highkey love sitting at home with a bucket of popcorn and making fun of every other performance haha that and i have chronic pain that is made worse by sensory input which would make it quite difficult. but maybe one day if sweden or possibly denmark win in the future and i'm tempted enough! i have considered going to one of our selection show dates. since there's 8 a year there's always at least one near my city (with the exception of the covid years when the tour was cancelled and all the shows were in stockholm) so it wouldn't be as massive a commitment. what about you? have you ever gone/would you like to in the future?

I'm so happy Spain got third place! We haven't had such a high position in Eurovision ever since 27 years ago. We were losing all our hope for winning until the amazing Chanel stood out with her excellent performance and song! I'm so proud of her!

𝘨𝘰𝘭𝘥𝘦𝘯 𝘴𝘶𝘯 Ooo yes I get that, we always make an event of it to watch at home too with bingo charts and everything haha! I can imagine it might not really be worth it to go see it live if you have to deal with with chronic pain 😥 The selection shows would be fun to see too! I love how it seems such a big thing in Sweden. Here I never hear much about the selection, maybe because we’ve had many bad years and people stopped caring… I haven’t been to a show yet but I’d love to go to a live finale once, just to feel the crazy atmosphere and see all the stuff that you don’t see on tv.. if I like the winner enough or if the netherlands wins again I might go and make a trip of it ^^ 🔥Firestar🔥 Spain was really good!! I loved her outfit so much too.
