Wishing him all the luck but unless and until it happens, it feels like it is too good to be(come) true.

You can hear it in recent performances. His performance at The Voice Belgium here has better sound quality than the pre-party performances.

I agree that it was the right approach not to say directly that we have dismissed entire jury votes that are rigged. I disagree that saying nothing was the perfect approach instead of some delicate wording perhaps along the lines of 'there was an issue that come up but it has been addressed and...

The EBU being condescending is nothing new. There was that time that Osterdahl declared on air that everything was fine and then the voting process had 'technical difficulties' that saw Osterdahl have to announce the jury votes himself. As it turned out, it was not because of a failure to...

In a way, his ghost is already present in the staging. It haunts those light tubes, which was after all the entirety of Ingrosso's staging.

I am for now having less negative feelings about the potential of a future Tiktok ban by certain nations.

The Irish selection process and the typical audience thereof is precisely why this song may not be as divisive as it may appear to be from within the Eurovision bubble.

Personally I find the national final performing a bit depressing because it reminds of how Microsoft used to have a proper logo that was distinctive and aesthetically appealing instead of the blandest of logos it has today.

The Guinness at least isn't too hard to imagine sometimes, given the shitposting.

I suspect there is one height Hera won't need to be scared of: reaching a high position in the Eurovision leaderboard.

Oh, it isn't!?! I had assumed it was some kind of metaphor. What is the real lyric there?

For Croatia, I just worked out that 'and I assault my cow' may really have been 'and I sold my cow' all along. If this is misheard, then both Matt and Roy also misheard this.

This is also a big reason why there is a segment of fans, myself included who find this to be a particularly weak year, despite in some ways having increased musical diversity.

Would they consider anything to do with the fan media to be a big change though? Such changes in the past don't seem to have been treated as big announcements. I hope it isn't the announcement of another sponsor, which as we have seen recently with that cruise ship thing is considered by them...

I stand corrected. Not being particularly familiar with Portuguese music, I conflated Portuguese folk music in general with Fado in general. Thanks for adding to my knowledge.

I love this. Typically, I haven't been able to appreciate Fado. It just isn't a taste I'd been able to acquire as I'd found it too slow and monotonous and this is influenced by the contrast between Fado and the pacing of the music to which I am regularly exposed. Maybe it is down to just not...

At first I was wondering if I had a dirtier mind than I had realised as I kept hearing the noises as saying filthy lyrics and then I looked around and discovered that is very intentional.

I have an answer for number one! As I hear it, the lyric isn't 'I'm a Titan in this guy's...' but 'I'm a Titan in disguise,' and that at least makes for a complete sentence. I also have an answer for number three in that it looks like what she was going for was for that bathtub to be linked to...

Maybe three spinning platforms? The music video hints at that as at least a possible direction. If they did do that, from the music video then they already have the platforms on hand and from their size, they do look like they aren't too big or heavy to use from a logistical point of view...

He did sound muffled in the spoken word part. That bit was definitely worse. I also think the way the beat intensified in the studio version at that point worked better, but that is a critique specific to this version with live instruments. The Eurovision version won't be like that. I'm not...
