It’s nice and like the cultural elements in it, but it’s something I feel like I’ve heard before.

This is in my top 5 for sure, the way it builds up and his voice. It’s great in my opinion.

Welcome back UK to actually being competitive in eurovision. Awesome voice, rad combination between some humour but also quite a meaningful song. As long as he doesn’t disappoint on stage, I can see top 10 for sure!

I wanted to stop halfway through, it honestly was so boring to me and couldn’t keep my attention. I don’t understand at all why it’s being received so well what I read about it..

Finally, the official release. It’s a bit too electronic sounding for me, and I’m not a fan of that.

22

Ooh, fairly unexpected, North Macedonia did a slight revamp. Better production and instrumentals really make the song reach more of its potential.

23

@astxrism, you would probably love to know the Serbian song really has been growing on me. Is at least in my top 10 right now :eyes:

It’s not the beeeest song but being so weird makes it kind of good

Originally I thought it was kinda weird in a bad way, but now I’ve listened to it a few more times I actually think it’s weird in a good way :upside_down_face:

Yes yes. I think eveeeeryone here felt the same way (including me), but really, the more you listen to it the more it becomes weird in a good way

Was it the right choice for Sweden, yes. Do I love this song, not really. There is something about her voice that prevents me from truly liking it when I listen, I think it’s like the fact her voice is so close to breaking quite a few times and she’s only just on pitch most of the song.

I have a soft spot for this song because it reminds me of my trip to Iceland. I love the staging and they have nice calm voices, but even if I like it a lot I don’t expect it to do that well..

Yes, yes yes!!! I’ve been following this song since release, and finally in the final they staged it to perfection. Such an improvement from semi final. The clothing, the sitting down, the background singers, the clapping. Love how artistic and laid back this song is, totally my vibe and possibly even my new favourite!

I’m a bit sad it’s a style of song we already have quite a bit of this year. I personally really like it but I feel like because it isn’t that unique it won’t do that well..

they have great vocals, there’s humour, it has a nice beat as well as good dynamics and it’s a song that stays in your head.
and I’m obsessed they used both the name Jim and Keith since me and my friend have an inside joke about those two names. :joy:

It definitely is a song that stays in your head, and probably one of the easiest to remember the lyrics from which helps make it addictive I guess.
And that’s fun with those names being in an inside joke :joy:

What other songs do you like this year, or didn’t you listen to others yet?

I love how more countries are going back to their own language instead of all going English but I’m still trying to listen to them all.

As for the netherlands… I am iffy about it. I never really liked dutch songs like just when they are sung in dutch.

But the song itself is good, for me it’s just that it’s sung in dutch that makes me grinch haha

Fair enough, for me it’s one of the very few songs where it doesn’t bother me that much it’s Dutch. Maybe because her pronunciation is so weird that my brain doesn’t fully even see it as Dutch. Like honesty, I struggle even hearing what she sings knowing the lyrics. The last word of every lyric she basically doesn’t pronounce in quite a few cases and some words just sounds and it just really doesn’t sound like spoken Dutch to me…

hahaha only because you focus on it. it’s like listening to someone with a heavy accent, just listening more carefully helps a little

Probably yeah :joy: But yeah, in my opinion she still does have quite a strong accent, not sure what it is though, sounds like quite north-westish to me :thinking: Edit, had a look at where she’s from (Abbekerk which is municipality Medemblik) and that’s exactly the area I imagined based on her accent, the northern half of North Holland basically.
