I don’t know if it is…

 

People keep saying it sounds Arabic, and it’s not like Europeans on the best terms with that region. Europe is a continent defined by cultural homogeneity (whether it be clashes over differences, or bonding over similarities), so it’s not shocking “foreign” sounding entries struggle to garner votes (Albania and Spain as good examples).

Honestly, it’s a fine song. It’s the just embodiment of everything I despise about the entertainment industry

 winning just because she’s a former winner with a large following and industry connections is so annoying. I was more okay with  winning last year. At least I understood that

I’d say she did pretty well. Might be able to do well in jury and popular vote.

I genuinely don't get why Albania is dead-last in the odds lists. I mean, sure, I can get why they're not the favourite, but seriously...last?!

It was not staged well in the national final. It was really cleaned up and perfected this week.

Apparently  did well during the jury final. They might actually have a chance for the Top3, they will be one of the very few memorable acts in the second half.

 

Maaaybe a           Top5? 

 was third in the press poll from today, which I was a bit surprised by. It’s been my guilty pleasure entry though, so I’d be fine with that.

 

I’d prefer  victory out of those options.
