If you’re listening on Spotify or Apple it’s definitely worth checking out the live performance of our entry as I think it really brings it to life and gives the song more meaning. I’ve added some more context in our national thread - I feel very inspired by our artist and proud to be representing her.

My friends named their dogs John and Mike. They tried to find the most ordinary names they could.

Omg I fell asleep during the listenthrough! Very early too, actually. So sorry guys! Ended up waking on the sofa at 5 past midnight.

Did Goldie's Infinite Love go down well at least?

Aaaaw bless 😂

When I left my first school, my class bought me a gorgeous parrot teddy for PSHE circle time sessions, we were coming up with names as a class and got "Rainbow" "Feathers" "Sparkles" then one of the children said "Dave!" 12 years later he is still called Dave! 😂

In honour of the best entry of the contest, maybe it could be called Indoggo? 👀

But I hate green

GREEN PRESS RELEASE:

Because a Neliönoir official barbarically expressed hatred of green in the Green Room, the country's emissary, Thoom, will be forced to stream her performance on Teams from the basement of a shoddy brothel (where no sky is visible).

During her performance exclusively, undead venue staff will be serving aphrodisiacal cactus juice and fancy pistachio nuts in the venue’s lavatories.

This service is free of charge for all emissaries that are in the allies of green semi or other countries who have sent a green tribute to High Green Supreme Necromancer IX.

Other benefits include not being turned into an undead servant after the final results show. Thank you for your time.

Submitted my votes after a listen through tonight! Need to go do my Pop Factor listen through now!

Among other things, my song inspired me to visit a Lebanese bakery in Belgrade and try a Lebanese dish called za'atar.

Of course no hype for East Rukahavian, if it had been another country with this entry ..

There's 60 countries. We all can't get hype.

The Spodic Empire never gets hyped and still does ok.

I'm going to hype you this month Mack! A solid entry that I compared in the listenthrough to Blur meets Rockerfeller Skank!
