[OFF TOPIC] Eurovision Song Contest 2023

[Wanderer 1,738]

Competition for the worst song is on  

Just horrible. I liked acoustic version of CZE song, Azerbaijan being decent. Croatia interesting though  

[heywoodu 16,460]

Finland is the kind of song quite a lot of people would like, but then they see a guy half naked and all of a sudden it's "eeewww this is so stupid!".

 

I hope it wins, at least from what we saw today. Maybe Thursday has good options.

At least it was actually music, instead of Croatia just mumbling things, Serbia even being invisible in the recap and the Netherlands with the most off key performance of all.

My top 5 from this evening:

Surprisingly I agree with at least three of them. Finland, Czech and probably Malta. The rest I don't even remember so well anymore

You don't have to be. That's the same kind of statement as "it's always Eastern European countries that win because they vote for each other!". In other words, just not true.

As far as I know I have to pay to vote. Makes perfect sense that voting is for EBU member nations only anyway...

Well, its nothing new if it comes to pay for voting.

Cant believe I'm saying it, but that interval act is in fact the musical highlight of the day (well, I love Duran Duran so I'm a bit biased  )
