Baby
Sometimes love can bring you down
But, honey
Keep your head up
Keep your head up
Keep your head up
Remember who you are

You can call me crazy
Or just call my name
You can say that I'm stunning
It's not a shame
'Cause I know I am
I know I am, hah
'Cause I know I am
I know I am
I like this attitude
I like the game
You can say that I'm brave
I'm never the same
'Cause I know I am (I know I am)
I know I am (I know I am)
'Cause I know I am (I know I am)
Hah, I know I am

Baby, come with me, follow me
Tell me if we can take it to the floor
(Oh-ooh, oh-ooh, oh-ooh, oh-ooh)
I'm the fire, the power
And if you're asking
I was gonna take it all (All, all)

You know I am
You know I am
'Cause I na-na-na know I am, am
And no one brings me down
I'm gonna take the crown
Give it to me now

I'm shameless and I'm spotless and I'm flawless
Always take it up 'cause I'm a winner, I don't want less
Going for the things I should and maybe I'm ferocious
Making you the one I want and I'm not even topless (Be cautious)
It's going down for real
Twenty twenty-two, let's seal the deal
(Middle East) Is the new sex appeal
Bam, bam, this is how it feel

Baby, come with me, follow me
Tell me if we can take it to the floor
(Oh-ooh, oh-ooh, oh-ooh, oh-ooh)
Ooh, I'm the fire, the power
And if you're asking
I was gonna take it all (All, all, all)

You know I am
You know I am
'Cause I na-na-na know I am, am
And no one brings me down
I'm gonna take the crown
Give it to me now

Baby
Sometimes life can bring you down
But I'll remember
To always keep my head up
'Cause no one brings me down
I'm gonna take the crown
Give it to me now​

Sigh.

Think I can't get behind MBD anymore. I really don't know what's happening with him. It's either he's really that much of an attention-seeker or he must have been instructed by the delegation to create some attention.

I have been championing for him as a person/performer (never mind his song) for quite a while but even I can't even bear continue watching after him going up to the hosts.

Having really mixed feelings about his behaviour to the point I don't mind him not qualifying so he can perhaps then stop creating opportunities for people to dislike him. He really needs some serious media training.

Sigh.

I was a low key supporter of this entry, but i'm not too surprised it didn't qualify. The ESC staging just looked empty and generic, the "gang bang" was missing along with all other distinctiveness of the earlier stagings and the video. His own antics just didn't feel and look as funny as they did in the first version, and it just came across as low-effort, something you'd put together for a TV show appearance with house dancers, with no concept.

Still surprised Romania made it, i think they're literally a worse version of this, but i guess Romania came across as more polished, simply looked better on stage, and also warmer and more inviting in its subject matter.

With all my respect but this guy is so annoying that I am happy not to see his face in the Final. When he just tried to stole the moment of the hosts was cringe af. Laura Pausini was a lady though and did not punch him instead.

I want to see his meltdown after failing to qualify. This guy has got to be one of the most annoying Eurovision contestants ever, I wouldn't normally speak about people like this, but he must have upset a lot of people the way he doesn't understand people's personal boundaries.

So, apparently Israel got disqualified? La Stampa is reporting MBD was disqualified due to yesterday's incident.

I came across with that too. MBD is banned from Eurovision for 8 years and Israel can't vote tomorrow night? I read something along these lines... 😬

Edit: I can only find Italian news on the disqualification, but it doesn't say anything about the 8 years or tomorrow's voting. So ignore that part. I read it on a forum, but can't find any source.

WOW, am I the only one who wasn't annoyed at him? Thought he was funny and all. And it was a short moment anyway? Why so serious?
Yes ? I don't know I thought he was funny. Those hosts were saying for the 96847th time dull things all over again with those crappy stabilo outfits and there was a contestant making fun of them, I was laughing so much and at my live party (at home) nobody was bothered by him, like we laughed and that's it. Actually Monika Liu was mimicking in the back during SF1 and I thought she was hilarous too (it's not the same as being in front of the camera as he did but you got it)
