Apparently Voyager got on really well with the German act, as the other metal band out there :)

Hello, dear
Germany probably would have done quite well if Australia had a different act

Germany often deserves to do very badly



but this year they didn't

He did the big hit song (Cha cha cha) twice, which is interesting. At the very end

That was a borderline frightening amount of pyro on the second playthrough.

It gets very cold in Finland and pyrotechnics have been a traditional way to stay warm since the late 15th century.

I love how the play button google translates into "Behold". It's somehow appropriate for Käärijä.

On further listening, the Italian entry this year has grown on me. I still don’t get why Israel was so popular, though.

Cha Cha Cha reminds me a little of Shum or Runaway—a song that didn’t win that year, but I listen to all the time.

Israel is a catchy song and went hard for the horny vote, there's nothing more to it than that. I lol'd when the little excerpt they repeat during the vote didn't actually feature any singing.

Spain's has grown on me after a few listens. It is honestly nuts how she was snubbed so hard by the juries, it was a very good vocal performance and seems, to my untrained ear at least, extremely technically proficient.

I had the finals playing in the car and without visuals, Tattoo *crushes* Cha Cha Cha for me. On the studio version he's heavily autotuned and I personally hate autotune.

Agreed that Italy has grown on me, the guy is a legit great singer.

Tattoo is unfortunately the blandest, most forgettable song ever. I can't for my life remember any of the lyrics (not that I can make any sense of her whispers) or even the melody, just the nails and a trash compressor. Compare this to Euphoria, the chorus of which I can still recite from memory. Or Hard Rock Hallelujah, or Waterloo, or Fångad av en stormvind... it's a crime and the jurys must be made to pay.

i didn't realize this was a eurovision song until very recently
i was really into free MMOs as a kid and there was an MMO Platformer i played called 'Slime Online' or something (in the tradition of Slime Volleyball, you see), it was really bad
but it used a MIDI of this song for an overworld theme and i thought i'd never find it again
until i watched a 'eurovision winners by year' compilation

that's my story

Kojo, guy who was Finland’s 1982 contestant is to this day called Nolla-Kojo (Zero Kojo) and he was fairly popular but that Eurovision contest resulted in his career being in tatters. People took Eurovision really really seriously and many good artists often refused to participate as it was such a massive risk.

At some point whole contest was considered a joke, until younger generations started to embrace the campy and cheesy side of it wholeheartedly.

I didn't even know that Swedish band Forbes had a song named 'Beatles' in 1977 and it placed last. It's weird that they went with Beatles nostalgy just seven years after the band broke and when John Lennon was still alive. It's like if someone made a song about One Direction today.

Two months out from the contest and radio in Iceland is playing Gustaph's Because of You regularly. Euphoria is getting more play than Tattoo, and this lil banger which actually came in last place in their national final is also having a moment.
