I'm gobsmacked at fans wanting more boring and uninteresting songs....
Or stupid enough...
It might be fun - as long as it is not your own country that has such a song in the contest... Because then after the NF result you have 2-3 depressing months with no expectations, knowing that your entry will score about 0 points..
I disagree with this. If we don't have songs like this, that go their own way, Eurovision will become very boring. Maybe it's because I kinda like punk rock, but I feel this song deserved a better result. I'm not surprised tho, I wouldn't expect most punk rockers watches Eurovision... But I hope they had fun.
I can partly agree, since I am also one of those who supports diversity in ESC and I am constantly favoring and respecting those that dare to send different things.
However, not everything that is different and "original" is good. For example, if someone would send 6 people who would s**t and burp on stage the entire time and present that as their entry they would certainly be the most original entrants ever. But would that entry be any good? No.
This is a prime example of that, and actually not that far from the previous example, in musical terms. This IS different, but not in a good way. This is not even a song. This is a random melody with random gargling, not even singing. I don't view it as a song at all, it is only a musical experiment and that's all. The fact that it was clearly relying on pity votes and stuff that had nothing to do with music just shows that even more.
Of course, people are free to agree and disagree. I want different and original stuff in ESC, and stuff that made me get my interest for this contest in the first place. However, it needs to be different and good, not just different for the sake of being different.
I have friends who posted about this song on Facebook, saying Finland had the only good song this year... But ok, so you don't like punk rock. And from the looks of it, you haven't listened to much punk rock either. Saying punk rock is equal to people taking a s*** and burping on stage is actually pretty offensive to everyone who likes this type of music. And I would recommend that you never listen to death metal, with proper growling. I don't think you could handle it... Anyway, I'm not discussing this with you anymore, I'm actually pretty offended by your post.

It was rough music for an average euroean viewer
^ not that I'm a big fan of the song but I bet it would have been in top 10
