Was this written by Wild Youth?

First time hearing Finland - was a bit underwhelmed by the first part of the song but wow when the violin came in.

Montenegro - I did like the goth style a lot but it could get lost.

Estonia very beige for me.

Loved the shot of the stairs there x

My parents are loving Estonia - feel like they've got a decent chance of qualifying with that as the one "nice" song that goes through in tenth each year

I'm off to cry into my cereal for 3 minutes.

The Israel song is at least more dynamic than their last two but certainly by rights wouldn’t be troubling the top positions in the final.

Don’t say that - I liked that song as well! (I clearly have no taste)

Glad to hear there were people shouting their opinions during the Israel performance. The song really is meh

…

lyricism: fire, fire, like a vampire you come out at night

The German song is honestly what you'd get if you asked ChatGPT to write an uptempo girlbop.

Why do I still unironically love it despite myself though?

I liked this for a few days in March. I can't recall why.

... about fire

Germany will no doubt finish near the bottom.

Even as an Irish person that was my least favorite of 2023.

lol fair do’s

This is a bit messy

Yeah I like this song and was surprised by its low odds but the performance isn’t elevating it much

Happy Christmas from Belgium

Germany very bland - hopefully UK can beat them at least haha.

Belgium a bit more interesting but nothing exactly new.

Shoulder furniture is so 2024.

I love the he chorus of Lithuania’s song and like the aesthetic but not sure I see the need for the body paint
