Discussion a couple pages back about studio vs live and put me down firmly on team "studio clears." It came on shuffle in the Eurovision playlist the other day and I thought to myself that my ::1 was probably a couple points too harsh. Went back to watch the live and found my ::1 a couple points...

One shot, wow. Looks like they're taking one of the most ambitious-to-stage songs ever sent to Eurovision and adding an even more high-wire element to the high-wire act. Really rooting for it to work and excited to see how they swing it!

This is a lot worse but unfortunately for the part of me that wishes my music taste were a bit more scrutable I can't stop laughing at how much it sounds and looks like glorious megadisaster Love Made Me Do It by Cheryl to me so will be awarding this ::5 ironic points

Georgia when you need someone to deliver a brilliant song in some vague approximation of the English language: ::10 points.

After a few years away, I'm returning to my roots. I'm turning back to the old me. The person I was in the mid-2010s.* A jealous Sweden hater. There's something kind of endearing about the fact that the vibe of this is more along the lines of the old-style preening, bombastic MelFest prettyboys...

Okay, you got me, 8 --> 12, the outro is inspired, also one of the best and most effective music videos in Eurovision history

I have to share that this gif gave me very similar vibes to this gif featuring the late ( :( ) great Leslie Jordan, which is also my experience with this song

What...the...fuck... I'm so overwhelmed. I'm so exhausted. There's just so much going on here, and I have to say, as much as it feels like work to listen to this, as much energy as I have to have to get through it, as much of a challenge to my attention span as it is, I do like it. Maybe even...

Really, really like Marina Satti. Very high expectations coming into this one. Hope it's in the style of my favorite song of hers (below) but some signs are scaring me.

I was about ready to call this a minor letdown. I was ready to say that many of the main elements of Electric Fields that made "2000 and Whatever" one of the very best songs Eurovision has brought into my life were there--the quirky and poetic lyricism and the force of personality that both...
