is a little too repetitive for me towards the end, but it’s a fun song. It’s nice to see them send something different.

I liked the national final staging more for Its my favorite song of the bunch this year, but I’m not actually sure it will get points from me in the end.

another big mover in my personal rankings. The song isn’t quite for me, but she performed it very well.

Not sure the fake stage invasion works me…

races into my number one! What a wonderful performance.

has me really torn. It’s a good show, but the song seems a little too sparse in between performance elements.

I'll wait to make any predictions or "wish lists" until after the live performances in both semifinals. Those can change a lot for me.

She's a British R&B (pop/jazz/soul) singer.

Broadcast quality was pretty good, and it was fun to see some nations you don't typically see on the world tour/cup circuit (for what it's worth).

I see many more than 10 when I click on that link. All of the short track and speed skating sessions were broadcast (and I can see all of the replays at that link).

#Release the @mrv86 cut! In all serious, glad to hear you had a good time.

Brilliant new concept performance? album? multi-part EP? (not sure what the right term is...) from Konstrakta.

are my favorites for the time being. could definitely grow on me as well. There's very few songs I'd count out before I get the chance to see them during the live shows. P.S. "Baller" would play at a trendy shop in LA, and I would enjoy it

Streaming information from the latest bulletin (#3):

Came here to post the same thing

Not sure what the best thread is for this kind of post, but I'm putting it here for now... In the blur that was Paris 2024, I never realized how high Victor Le Masne set the bar with this song. It grew on me quickly after the reveal, but I never had much time to digest it until recently. https://youtu.be/u_5E2uiVAHA?si=YobFuiQW6biRKumQ Also, I was thinking about how creatively/artistically progressive Paris 2024 was tonight. I'm genuinely curious to see what its creative legacy will be in the coming years.

Well, let's follow the rules in the absence of @OlympicIRL I believe @Wanderer was interested in the being the next host, as the jury didn't want to host two contests in a row. Let's give him until Friday to respond in one way or another. If we haven't heard from @Wanderer by Friday, then perhaps it's time to extend hosting rights to @Belle If @Belle is unable to step in as host, then we begin the bidding process for interested juries and go from there.

In an underwhelming film season, I saw myself mostly satisfied with where the awards went tonight. I'm just hopeful I find more to be excited and passionate about this year.
