The sounds at the beginning of Fighter are giving off-brand Grindr notification Very 00s but I kinda like it and I'm glad they're bringing some French lyrics. Feels a bit like an Angèle song!

I'm always here for minority languages making it to Eurovision but unfortunately this song isn't quite doing it for me. Australia's fallen off recently imo :(

This could've had potential with decent staging tbh - but for obvious reasons I'm glad they've not given themselves a good chance.

Ever since someone said Marcus and Martinus look like the main characters from Young Royals merged together I can't unsee it :lol: This is an example of Sweden's worst tendencies for me, very bland Spotify-pop that always does well enough for them to never take much of a risk. We haven't had a Swedish language song since 1998!

I'm enjoying this more on stage than from just hearing the song on Spotify, but I don't know how much I'll remember it once it's over.

Ngl I kinda stan the song itself, but it is very Planet Of The Bass It feels like they're trying to recapture the Kaarija moment but it's so intentional that it doesn't stick, Kaarija's weirdness felt more organic.

Ok the ending really elevated Slovenia!

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

I feel it (a DNQ) coming!

Lyrics, I like to be able to sing along!

Just hoping for Ireland/Ukraine/Croatia/Lithuania to qualify! Which feels pretty guaranteed tbh, not too fussed on the rest.

That feels unfair, Sling is a lovely album imo! More understated and less poppy but Amoeba is my favourite song of hers, and Bambi/Blouse are nice too. Defo perched for new music!

Congrats Addy! Really glad to see Jadakissnia, Abeltesfayeton, Singerpurear, Persephonia, and Aeroche in the top ten, would've been nice for Trifoski to sneak in too :( Happy with 22nd, not quite a unique position as I got there with Pearly Drops last year but still! Weirdly I got a 4th place followed by a 22nd place last year, and this year I've had the same (albeit with a DNQ in between).

Woo thanks Aelandor!

Ty Scotland 2 keeping me just in the top 20 :cheer: rooting for a Jadakissnia win now!
