He's a King in the eyes of the public already, and he didn't need a high score to get a internatinal career going. I really thought he could be a surprise winner, but the performance really wasn't the high point of the final i expected.
Maybe it came across as a bit tryhard and over-the-top, there was already so much pro-LGBT and tolerance messages all over the entire event, and from other performances, it just felt kind of redundant to make it so explicit and such a major part of his performance. The staging could have focused more on Bilal himself and made a better impression, the text on stae was especially contrived. To quote Beavis & Butthead, "If i wanna read i go to school".
Good luck to him in the future, i think he's one of the real stars in this year's edition.
