My family's pretty much latched onto all the same favourites so far, lol - namely
,
and
. It's rare that the four of us all agree on any songs we like, but we've got a full three of them this year from the first semi alone.
What I found particularly interesting is that my dad seems to be really getting into Italy. He's usually the type to say "Eurovision was better years ago, all the songs are crap now"; but he's actually been looking up Italy to listen to it himself a few times over the last couple days, which he almost never does this quickly with Eurovision songs.
And then there's my mum, who's similarly been appreciating it and mentioned approvingly just earlier that "his stage presence really reminds me of [some name of an 80s rocker that I now forget]". So there are definitely a couple of cases in favour of the "older generations who loved their rock in the 70s-80s will appreciate Italy" theory!
For now, though, we're mostly all in the same boat of "not sure if our favourite is Ukraine or Italy, but it's one of them"; hopefully the televoters of Europe feel similar
