Well, I guess my taste has changed... most of the "club" songs are too generic for my taste; don't mean to be disrespectful, they're ok to dance, but not what in my opinion would call a great song. Any AI could replace the singers in most of those entries and sound better. I guess that's what happens when you replace actual instruments and voices for computers and Autotune :(

 

However, there were some songs I actually enjoyed, either because of the vocals, the lyrics or the interpretation; these are (in no particular order): Bulgaria, France, Poland, Czech Republic, Denmark, Azerbaijan and Belarus, and contrary to most users in the forum, I just loved the Portuguese song :d

Welp, the shitstorm has begun. Ukraine decides to ban Julia Samoylova from entering the country because of her 2015 visit to Crimea. Honestly, both countries are at fault. Ukraine used a dumb law against her, but at the same time, Russia set themselves up for this issue. That's how I see it. I feel bad for Julia, but if it is, it is.

 

Personally, since Russia isn't among my qualifiers this year, I could care less.

It definitely started with Russia's fault obviously, thinking it was a wonderful idea to claim another nation's land out of the blue :facepalm:

 

Ukraine's reaction now is just as bad though, events like the Olympics or a ESC are exactly the kind of events where one should 'forget' this for a moment.

Everything last year was about politics

Just like when Austria won and everyone had to be politically correct, costing the real winners the victory :p (alright, it was a decent song like last year's winner, but 'top-5 material', not 'winning material')

That too, Netherlands should have won. There hasn't been a right winner since Denmark in 13. :wall:

About 2014: I would have actually said Norway should have won...the Dutch song was good and I liked it, but the Norwegian song (Silent Storm) was beautiful :wub:
