Re: Eurovision
Starting soon... I hope Finland at least makes it to final, we're (once again) pretty hyped this year

Re: Eurovision
Didn't go well then?
As always I'm not getting the chance to catch the semis, so all the songs will be new to me in the final.

Re: Eurovision
The top 3 were not what I expected, I would've rather thought one of the next three - Belgium, Sweden, Italy - would win.
And jury and popular vote agree on the winner
Turns out Finland was 12th in the semi, at least there were dozen countries who did worse. But this was third year in row we didn't get to final

Re: Eurovision
I can't remember what any of the songs sounded like already. None of them stood out at all. At least not for any good reasons musically. It felt like a real flat year to me.
And Portugal winning? That's two years in a row that one of the worst songs have won, and won for reasons that aren't related to the music or performance. Last year's crap won because it was a vote against Russia, and that guy won yesterday because he was a bit strange and had an illness.
