Ireland this year is lowkey one of my favorites this year. It's unfortunate that the show really bombed because the song is pretty fun.

I'm sharing my opinion and this thread is too long; so I'm sure I'll be retreading things that have been said.

I just watched this. I live in Michigan. This is the 2nd Eurovision that I've seen.

The winner should have been Iceland. 10 Years is the poo poo.

How in the hell do you even pronounce "Dađi og Gagnamagniđ" My Alexa says Tah-vEE FrAy-er, but he says his own name so fast that I can't make it out on youtube. Either way, I then listened to Where We Wanna Be and Think About Things; they are both great. He/they have quickly become my favorite Eurovision act that I've seen.

2nd Place: The Roop with Discoteque. It's a little simple in composition, but that groove gets in your head. Dance alone, dance alone, dance alone. It's in my head just writing it. Also the crazy Maddie/tiktok style dancing is something.

That's it. Those are the two stand outs for me, but there were some decent "studio" songs in there as well like Je Me Casse and Set Me Free.

And then there were the rest like The Three Shakiras, The Sad Swiss Clown, Someone's Mom, Boring Beatles, British Bloke in a Garbage Bag, Voila Voila Voila, Frozen Smile Aguilera, 80s rock band, and 90s rock band.

In the end the winner was 80s rock band because rock and roll never dies apparently.

If you don't watch the BBC version with Graham Norton making GBS threads on every other act then I feel like you are doing Eurovision wrong.

Iceland’s song was really really good, not just Eurovision good. Legit the best produced and cohesive song in the competition imo. Sucks about their performance being cancelled. And sucks that they couldn’t do 2020’s song, which was even better.


I'm now going through the thread just to reinforce my own thoughts. For example, this person is correct.

This might be why America isn't invited? Also you're missing the purpose of Eurovision - it's not about music, it's the voting!

Somewhere in the process you pick your team and your allies and then you laugh at the other teams, you feel for the ones who are bad but charming, and you laugh with the ones who are insane and will live forever. The voting is where you feel it all. It's exactly like sports.
The upside is you don't get to pick a team here, a song will pick you and that's the one you like - now we ride and die!

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the Ireland Song was a song for belting out really hard and loud, and they gave it to a husky voiced lounge singer.

I mean it was never going to be a winner but we might have qualified.

e: Also ditch the weird paper landscape and just have background dancers running in place constantly.

Every song should have at least one guy in the background running in a hamster wheel imo

No thanks. Music bad = bad music. I don't care about the voting at all. Also I don't care about sports; so perfect analogy I would say! Spot on.

ICELAND SHOULD HAVE WON!

Zero chance Iceland would have won as soon as they announced they were being quarantined. Why bother voting for an act that can’t perform when they win?

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
randomly popped by an article pre-eurovision with Italy and this comment stood out

Detailing their influences, they told The Independent: “We take inspiration from all the huge bands through history, from Led Zeppelin to Arctic Monkeys, but also the newer stuff, like Idles, we love them, Slaves, Royal Blood.”

The UK's path is clear.

Send IDLES.

They'd probably be up for it, but I don't think they could hold off on the political protest while doing so.

The one thing you're probably going to run into - which also happens to be entirely true - is that Go_A, the techno-shamanistic Ukrainians, are also good. Their at-home sessions are fun, the acoustic versions show them to be competent musicians, and the Mad Max official video to Shum is basically "we know a guy with a weird art car and I can get some snow camo". It's great.
