So I'm guessing from the postcard that the artist is a busker because that would be par for the course with Germany.

 

Also what on earth are those elephant sounds in the chorus

I started humming the chorus of 'Embers' over Iceland's entry and now can't unhear it

I'm shook that someone remembers the chorus to Embers

This is giving X Factor Week 2 performance vibes

I quite like Germany’s song, but it is like James Newman has returned!

Well, Germany compares very favourably with Iceland...

 

See, Isaak is a good performer, it's just his song that's a little generic

I'm shook that someone remembers the chorus to Embers

 

T’was a tune and never deserved nil point

Iceland looks worse as it's following some of the strongest songs in the competition.

The song is both enjoyable and forgettable and a bit dated.

Germany’s commitment to finding new levels of forgettable every year is quite something

I didn't mind that Germany track... it had a reasonable amount of atmosphere and I thought he performed it pretty well

Germany, very beige.

Yeah Germany wasn't too bad tbf... just looked at the odds - its 500/1 to win :D

He did perform that well

 

I’m still gutted about Malik Harris’ finishing position from a couple of years back. Germany gonna be near the bottom again sadly

I am transfixed. Bambie's exceeded all my expectations and they were pretty high already. THAT'S THE WINNER RIGHT THERE

 

THIS THIS RHIS

 

BAMBIE BAMBKEEE BAMBIEEE!!!

 

OY OY OYYYYY

 

WINNER WINNER WINNER!!!!! NO SONG HOLDS A CANDLE TO ITS ESOTERIC MYSTICISM!! BLAND SHITTY POP VS THIS PIECE OF MAJESTOC ARTOSTRY!! Stand down, blandied, ans let Bambie take the crown! #bambiebetyerthanblandies #crownthewiycj #newgo_aandchachacha

Also the postcards look so naff this year! That orange-to-pink gradient is giving Instagram corporate branding and the vertical videos aren't helping. Give us the artists doing niche tourist activities in the host country again x

Make the shrill screams stop!

Slovenia another in the “great performance of mediocre song” camp

Okay I haven't thought much of Slovenia's song but that's a great performance of it, she might knock a borderline act out there

Slovenia is QUALIFYING

Ok the ending really elevated Slovenia!

I feel it (a DNQ) coming!

 

Omfg THIS!

 

Uk would dnq this time (99% of rhe time, incl. Last year) too if BBTory didn't fund the contest
