Dunno if anybody follows the biggest non-political international song competition of any given year. The second semi-final is underway in about thirty minutes and the first half two days ago... less said the better. Honestly a weak as hell showing. And yeah, the no politics is ironic af when Ukraine gets sympathy points for existing. Anyway, I'll report my thoughts on anything interesting.
About the songs that went through to the final: Ukraine sounds like their last years bid but with annoying rap verses. Lithuania's singer has a nice dress and beauty to behold, but the song isn't super. Swiss entry went into the forgettable ballad pile along with Armenia. Iceland was incredibly forgettable. Dutch gave a performance in Flemish, so that's cool I guess. Norway has a meme song in the spirit of What Does the Fox Say? but unoriginal and shit. Moldova is pretty weird; they deserve some points for that. Portugal similarly is very forgettable. Greece's song is maybe the best of the bunch and at the very least it stuck with me for a bit. And the singer is pretty. Pretty singers are my weakness.
edit. Oh yeah and the stage is much worse compared to last year.
