Eurovision Song Contest

So, the Eurovision Song Contest started today with the first semi finals. Even tho Finland hasn't really succeeded well in it, I've been watching it since I was little and every year cheered for my country ofc. This year I actually kinda likef Finland's song 🇫🇮 (Norma John - Blackbird) and thought that maybe this year we will at least get to the final but nope, we didn't... I don't wanna sound like a sore loser but srsly, some of the countries' singers couldn't even hit the right note most of the times. It was painful to watch and listen 😅.

The 10 countries which made it to the final were: Moldova, Azerbaijan, Greece, Sweden, Portugal, Poland, Armenia, Australia (I thought that they were only gonna get in to the competition on the 75th anniversary 2 yrs ago but well still going strong), Cyprus and Belgium.

Some of these really surprised me because I for example didn't like Cyprus', Azerbaijan's, Portugal's or Belgium's performances at all... Belgium's singer was a shy 17-yr-old girl who unfortunately couldn't hit the right note and I thought that the whole performance wasn't really finished.

Moldova probably got thru because of the saxoman everyone loved a couple of yrs ago and the funny choreography.

I also really hate how most of the women nowadays just wear short and revealing dresses. Is it just to get votes or did the singers really choose those kinda costumes themselves? That's my question. Also, why do almost everyone wear white?

But anyway,
Since I remember, Eurovision Song Contest has pretty much been more of a "who creates the best show" contest instead of an actual singing contest like it used to be, and each year I feel like the singers get worse and worse because all the countries just focus on the show with all the high tech laser and light shows and fire elements. I think it's kinda sad. I would really love to see some amazing singing talents too, but only few countries offer that each year.

But I think I've talked enough about tonight's semi-final, maybe more after Thursday's one or at least about the final on Saturday, so stay tuned 😉
