My mum went to sleep right before :bg: yesterday. Out of those she watched she liked :is: and :pt: and didn't like :al: because she found it too dated.

My god did they make it a difficult job to listen through, tbh I don't think i'll do it again next year given the total lack of interest generally shown - even to songs they claim to enjoy. Just hear Eurovision and it automatically means shit. Anyway, we ranked all the songs from 1 to 10, I'm A, my Mum is B and one of my friends is C. I asked them to rank not totally on their taste, but also the song, production etc - so it wasn't just a sea of 1s & 2s. My rank is just my preference but they didn't need to know that xo Here is how we voted:

My mum claimed to like :es: :fr: :se: :cz: :pl:
She claimed to hated: :lt: :de: :bg: :ge: :ua:

My Friend claimed to like: :it: :fi: :is: :pt:
My Friend claimed to hate: :lt: :nl: :dk: :de: :no: :lv:

General Comments:
🇱🇹 Totally diabolical, terrible, horrible etc
🇧🇪 Shes giving Miss Havisham vibes with that wedding dress and style.
🇨🇾 this sounds like something from Lady Gaga
🇳🇱 "Rhythm is your rebellion" Makes absolutely no sense. References to Brocolli
🇮🇹 It stood out, for good or and bad reasons.
🇷🇸 Just straight noise, sounds like something you'd hear in a club where the songs just all blend together.
🇩🇰 Very dated, my mum said it sounded like something from when she was my age.
🇵🇹 Both said they liked it, but hated his singing and voice.
🇬🇪 Sounds totally miserable and dull, felt about as interested in the song as he seemed to with how he was singing it.
🇺🇦 One of the worst things they've ever heard

So same people and we used the BBC scoring sheet, all had a lot of fun doing it actually - criteria is song, performance & outfit.

Unlike in the post above, they were both far more positive on the songs. This is their top5 and bottom 5, with scores out 30.

Mum:

01. :gr: Greece - 24pts (7/9/8)
02. :ru: Russia - 23pts (8/6/9)
---. :pt: Portugal - 23pts (9/6/8)
04. :uk: United Kingdom - 22pts (7/7/7) << she was actually critical of it by the end, so.
---. :al: Albania - 22pts (7/9/6)
---. :bg: Bulgaria - 22pts (6/8/8)

21. :it: Italy - 6pts (1/3/2)
22. :ua: Ukraine - 5pts (0/4/1)
23. :ch: Switzerland - 4pts (2/1/1)
---. :md: Moldova - 4pts (0/1/3)
25. :be: Belgium - 2ps (0/0/2)
26. :de: Germany - 0pts (0/0/0)

Friend:

01. :ru: Russia - 19pts (6/5/8)
02. :fi: Finland - 18pts (7/4/2)
03. :pt: Portugal - 17pts (5/5/7)
04. :cy: Cyprus - 16pts (2/6/8)
05. :al: Albania - 13pts (4/1/8)

20. :mt: Malta - 3pts (1/1/1)
---. :ch: Switzerland - 3pts (0/2/1)
---. :nl: The Netherlands - 3pts (2/1/0)
---. :sm: San Marino - 3pts (1/1/1)
24. :lt: Lithuania - 2pts (1/0/1)
25. :es: Spain - 0pts (0/0/0)
---. :de: Germany - 0pts (0/0/0)

For positive remarks, the one that got the best reaction was actually Russia imo. My Friend especially liked the messaging behind it and what she was saying - It didn't need to be in English to get it and thats a hard thing to pull off. Also liked her outfit with that suit thing, thought it was clever etc.

:ch: (predictably :D). She really dislikes :it: entry.

Switzerland was my 2nd favourite after France (she likes :fr: song) and I dislike :it: entry too.

And we both enjoyed :nl: entry xshock

My date has never been interested in Eurovision but due to the fuss I've been making in the past week, he got interested in it, so we watched the final together. He missed Cyprus and Albania, and most of the time he was talking about how bad the songs are. He even fell asleep during interval acts and jury voting before he woke up to televote reveal.

But hey, he liked Switzerland at least, and wanted it to win. I am surprised he even posted the song on his Instagram story today.

He just lacks some Eurovision spirit :lol:

After the GF

Sister: :lt: :ch: :ua: :il: :be: :pt: :is:

Brother (watched the songs for the first time): :ch: :lt: :cy: :rs: :ua:

Father (watched the songs for the first time): :mt:

Husband: :fi: :cy: :rs: :be: :no: (:oops:)

So there is clearly a tendency towards some songs!

Interesting none of them did particularly like Italy or France. I thought my father would like Portugal and France (he‘s 70), but no. He said, he liked how fresh and powerful Destiny was.

#makinglithuaniafamous
During a gameshow there was this question: 20 countries were named, and a participant needed to name which countries were in Top 10 and which weren't. When Norway was mentioned, one of the hosts of the gameshow (think it was our 1999 spokesperson?) said that Norway was the guy with angel wings, and that prompted my mom to say that was (one of) her favourite(s) lol. Make of that whatever you will

My mum's favourite was Finland, surprisingly! Guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree
