mtbcIt's taken me a while to get around to mentioning Eurovision, though of course it's all still on YouTube anyway. It was a decent year, perhaps not as strange as some, of course the inclusion of Israel thus loss of objecting countries somewhat changed things. There wasn't a lot of fun to be had but Greece's entry was a nice exception to that.
A few songs' genre were particularly to my taste. I liked the heavier stuff from Romania and Serbia. I liked Austria's music and the lyrics wree fun. Also, I enjoyed the techno-pop from Sweden. Lithuania's seems to be unusually to my taste: nobody else liked it but I thought both the song and performance good.
Belgium was one of the cases where I thought the song rather better than the singer. For me, the Polish singer was good, though I'd not have guessed the entry to be Poland's. France's singer was really good, making the whole performance compelling. An honorable mention also goes to Finland's violinist who was excellent enough to comfortably outshine the song.
Croatia's entry was a bit odd: it made for a very good performance but was perhaps more theatrical, hardly the kind of thing I'd ask Alexa to play while I do a chore.
I'm happy that Bulgaria's entry won. It didn't blow me away but it was enjoyable and the singer did a great job of performing it.
