mdh

Well this is f*** off boring already

8.0 Austria 7.5 Lithuania 7.5 Ukraine 6.5 Slovenia 3.5 Spain Fave so far - it's like a non-pretentious version and less melodramatic 'Skin'.

Anyone get slightly less heinous Rag'n'Bone Man vibes from this guy?

Those rocks look f***ing mental ngl xx

7.5 Lithuania 7.5 Ukraine 6.5 Slovenia 3.5 Spain Really loved this, sweet song and the vocals were a lot more raw than the studio version <3 Hope it does well for her.

I want the UK to win, so some of the countries are shown to be ENTHRALLED by a particularly interesting building in Norwich or Sunderland.

7.5 Ukraine 6.5 Slovenia 3.5 Spain

Kind of with this, it was nice to see the crowd involved but it kind of ruined the flow of the song :(

This Slovenia song is pretty good, feel like it needs a bit more of a kick though...? Maybe a bigger chorus.

7.5 Ukraine 3.5 Spain Piss weak.

7.5 Ukraine Great performance, song was pretty good if a little empty.

Such a great start!

I'll have to listen to it again, I think I was 9 when it won so I can't say much about my taste all that time ago :lol:

Looking at the Stockholm opening ceremonies that we get and even Ukraine's last year, it makes this ceremony look awfully tame and dull lmao

That Rybak dude won with a mediocre song a while back, didn't he? Just occured to me, ha.

Honestly I've been back to that Portugal track about 10 times since the contest and to this day, I've no idea what was supposedly enjoyable about that song over 'Beautiful Mess' and even bloody 'Hey Mamma'

Cyprus to win PLEASE. Ideally anything other than that Israel piece of SHIT.

Critically, it's actually getting good reviews mostly! My friends are kind of 50:50, like some LOVE the album but some dislike it.

Just got playlisted by 1Xtra, probably one of the best dancehall/afrobeat songs I've heard - would LOVE this to be a hit! Vaguely reminds me of 'Hold Yuh' by Gyptian, definitely has more resonance and replayability than nearly every other UK rap song right now. J79LR2JhLIE :music: :music: :music:

Shakka's 'My Size' was on the playlist in January, I think.

Really though, what's so special about it? To me it just seems like a massively over-the-top attempt at making dancehall influenced music sound 'pop' and 'quirky', unpleasant to listen to. Not to mention the chicken-esque noises which add nothing positive to the song.

'Freaky Friday' and 'No Tears Left To Cry' back to back, what an awful 7 minutes to endure :puke:

I bloody hope 'Toy' doesn't win, awful song - even worse than Salvador!

They'd be pretty stupid to not issue it as a single at this point - it's on Hot Hits and it's getting airplay.

Delighted to see 'Man Down' entering this week against the odds, a great pop-rap track. :wub: Boo at 'First Time' being top 40 tho, total pile of drab shite. (also haven't heard 'Youth' yet, hoping it's good.)
