Each year the competition gets more and more worthless. There was an era when songs were good and so bad it made them good, like Hammer movies.
I hate ABBA but still talk about them, I guess it proves that it must have been the only decent ever to be put in as an entry.
Lordi were good but people voted them as they were different but they are just a Gwar rip-off. It's like Ghost are just a KISS rip off, KISS are not metal but just heavy rock like Ghost, I cringe when people think Ghost are metal. John Entswhistle wore a skeleton outfit.

When was the last memorable song that won the contest? Loreen 13 years ago.
Last year's winner disappeared without trace, ditto Loreen with Tattoo in Liverpool.
It's not about the songs anymore, it's about the show, once over, it is quickly forgotten.
I would like France to win. The girl can sing, and they haven't won since 1977. The song is forgettable, but they all are so far.

Well I thought Made In Switzerland (in the interval) was far better than the contest before it.

Iceland - cute kids; nothing song. Poland nothing song. Slovenia nothing song. Estonia nice moves like a second rate version of Iceland a few years ago (who should have won but Covid kicked in) nothing song. SPAIN (big 5) - nothing song. Ukraine - nothing song but they won with a nothing song a few years ago (Sam Ryder should have won). Sweden - everyone seems to like this except me. Sounds like an Eric Idle B side. The kind of thing everyone thinks ought to win because it sounds like a winner except it doesn't. Portugal - nothing song. If you want to hear a song about displaced people (hello Starmer) listen to Los Decaparacitos by Little Steven. Norway - nothing song and God these acts are all awful. Belgium - nothing song whiny singer. I'm starting to despair. Wasn't this meant to be a SONG contest? Where are the songs? ITALY (big 5) - at last a song. Not a very good one but at least there is a melody of sorts and Italian is my favourite language. I have a soft spot for Italian music (the arrangements are always very JK). For me the best of the entries so far.
Azerbaijan - nothing song and no testicles. San Marino - nothing song. Albania - nothing song. Don't people write songs anymore? (Taylor Swift certainly doesn't). Netherlands - ah - a song at last. Very reminiscent of many past tunes but at least it has a tune and a structure. Best of the entries. And Claude is rather good - a kind of male Piaf. Croatia - nothing song (nursery rhyme is NOT a song). SWITZERLAND (big 6) - another song! God be praised. Again, not great but not bad and has at least got a melody and is quite well squeaked. I rather like this. Last but surely not least - Cyprus. Nothing song.
So for me - far and away the best of the night. Netherlands.
