This is so much better than Euphoria. I could never deal with the "up up up up' part of Eurphoria.

The Spodic Empire will hold an internal selection. Entry expected to be submitted in the next 48 hours.

Ok. I like this a lot now. That's 5 years in a row I've really liked the Swiss entry. They need to stop sending sad boy ballads if they want to win, though. Not everyone can do Arcade and if Tout L'Univers couldn't win in 2021 then it's doubtful they'll manage it with a ballad.

Yesterday I booked flights and accommodation for the Thursday night. This will be my first experience of a host city during Eurovision week.

I'd vote for her based on her personality alone.

Been playing this every day since I first heard it. Watch his interviews. He has a subtly unusual voice.

Had you known the song before the contest?

My comment was more a reaction to what uhsting said.

It would be a shame if Serbia didn't qualify with such an artistic and impactful piece.

Faster is molten metal fizzing with agression and head spinning melody.

What I find really irritating about this song is the way her voice breaks at the end of every line.

We scraped into qualifying. 20th place. Thanks to all who voted for us in semi 2. The Spodic Empire is just getting started.

Delighted to make the top 30 with The Magnetic Fields. Thanks for the point's, y'all.

I don't understand what's happening 😕 Oh.... I understand now.

I'll take anything inside the top 30.

I would also have voted for Agoney - "Quiero arder"

Today the people of Spod will be taking to the polls to decide in a referendum if the country should change its name. The ballot paper contains three choices. 1 Spod (retain the current official name) 2 Spodania 3 The Spodic Empire Voting is expected to be brisk and turnout above 80%.

Listening this evening?

I will submit this evening (Not a sex reference)

CxNiUxdJnTQ This elevates the song for me.

So, third time lucky for Magnetic Fields. :)

Votes coming

It's just an awfully derivative song. The lyrics are even worse than Georgia's.
