    Finland FINLAND 2024 - Windows95man - No Rules!

    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.

    Ireland IRELAND 2024 - Bambie Thug - Doomsday Blue

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

    Iceland ICELAND 2024 - Hera Björk - Scared of Heights

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

    Misheard Lyrics 2024 Edition

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

    Misheard Lyrics 2024 Edition

    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.

    Norway NORWAY 2024 - Gåte - Ulveham

    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.

    (... so maybe this is the) General Discussion Thread

    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...

    Portugal PORTUGAL 2024 - iolanda - Grito

    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.

    Portugal PORTUGAL 2024 - iolanda - Grito

    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...

    (... so maybe this is the) General Discussion Thread

    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.

    Albania ALBANIA 2024 - Besa - Titan

    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...

    United Kingdom UNITED KINGDOM 2024 - Olly Alexander - Dizzy

    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...

    United Kingdom UNITED KINGDOM 2024 - Olly Alexander - Dizzy

    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...

    Greece GREECE 2024 - Marina Satti - Zari

    The video gives me the impression there is an important point being made, perhaps about tourism or the flattened perception of a country held by those outside of it, or perhaps just online video culture, but I don't yet know what it is about. Musicially, this is very much an acquired taste at...

    United Kingdom UNITED KINGDOM 2024 - Olly Alexander - Dizzy

    Seeing the comments others have made in this thread, I think that the healthier attitude is to just be pleased that whatever this song may want be, it at least continues a level of quality that is undisputedly higher than the dismal depths in which the UK had resided in past years. For Germany...

    Australia AUSTRALIA 2024 - Electric Fields - One Milkali (One Blood)

    The wording was more ambiguous than it could have been though. It just said she hadn't been approached this year for Eurovision. The statement does not rule out her doing it if she did the approaching, or if the approach/invitation was made last year, if it is one of those 'we have to deny...

    Israel ISRAEL 2024 - Eden Golan - Hurricane

    There's a world of difference between representing Israel at Eurovision this year versus last year. It isn't the same chance of a lifetime it is in other years. That was already taken away from all the potential Israeli representatives. There's also a chance that what Eden says in public social...

    Germany GERMANY 2024 - Isaak - Always on the Run

    It isn't just the elephant sound effect, but the 'run na na yeah' or whatever the exact lyrics are could be interpreted as being an African-inspired chorus by being reminded of a style of traditional tribal chants. The association is influenced by the use of the elephant SFX and perhaps the...

    Moldova MOLDOVA 2024 - Natalia Barbu - In The Middle

    Honestly, this kind of 'feeling entitled to make special arrangements' conduct is very in keeping with certain royal families, like that of the Jordanian prince who went to my primary school, back when it was internationally highly regarded.

    Estonia ESTONIA 2024 - 5miinust & Puuluup - (nendest) narkootikumidest ei tea me (küll) midagi

    I also think the second word, 'narkootikumidest' might be the longest single word we've seen in a Eurovision song title. Anything out there recall a word over 16 characters long?
