And that’s the beauty of Eurovision - the diversity that is on offer. I guarantee that for every female vocalist you don’t like, there will be many people who do like them. Everyone’s tastes are different, and that’s exactly what should be celebrated. There is no one correct way to sing

And another couple of incredible choices from national finals tonight. Portugal have for the first time ever chosen a totally English-language song to represent them, and Italy selected a heavy-rock band in their Sanremo contest!

 

Portugal...

Estonia is just as bland as their entry last year. Portugal is a snoozefest as well. Quite a lot of songs this year lack a proper hook or a distinctive melody.

 

Denmark rides on the current 80s retro trend – I kind of like it. By the way, this will be the first time since 1997 that we will hear the Danish language in the contest.

As I was saying to alphanguy above, I’m enjoying the actual diversity of the songs on offer this year. In fact I have Denmark, Estonia and Italy all in my Top 10 at the moment. 

 

And remember, for every song that we might not like, someone will definitely love. Music taste is not absolute

This is great and will probably give San Marino its best result ever (ok, given their poor track record, this is not that hard to manage

However, it's still not clear if FloRida will appear on stage with Senhit ...

To me, the lack of diversity is the problem. Such a high percentage of these girls that sing in this bizarre, auto-tuned cursive singing... they more or less all sound alike  (with a few exceptions). If you think about past singers, such as Abba, Lulu, Aretha Franklin, Cher, Diana Ross, Olivia,  etc... they couldn't be more different from one another.

I’m definitely hearing a difference in vocal styles with the female vocalists. We must have different hearing then

And this I agree with you on. While it might not be everyone’s cup of tea (and nor should it be), it does have a distinctive style to it, and is one you can easily get lost in.

And today we had a surprise drop from Belarus - this is already causing controversy as this group is known to be strongly sympathetic to the oppressive Lukashenko regime. Indeed the 2020 entrants VAL were removed from contention for 2021 after having voiced public support for the Belarusian opposition during their election protests. Anyway, here’s the song...

      I strongly suspect the same. Happens often.

      B&B: Old/Classic Discussion & Articles

      Beth #1 being recast right before she and Eric come face to face was jarring.  We spent the first 50 episodes or so getting to know Beth and see her rapport with her kids, co worker, and even her mother in law. Her Beth seemed content with her kids and job as caterer, but you could tell she also had a faraway look that you just knew meant that she dreamed of what life would have been like had she and Eric gotten together.   Plus, she came across as someone that you could see eventually moving into more wealthy circles based on her demeanor.   Seeing Beth always looking off into space probably helped fuel Brooke's dreams of wealth because she saw how unfulfilled her mother was.  Once Beth was recast starting in episode 52, that whole vibe completely changed and Beth #2 seemed to almost like living the middle class life.. and that her Beth would feel ill at ease around wealth, etc.

      Ratings from the 1990s

      I agree.  I've always chalked it up to the fact that DALLAS had been a pop culture phenomenon for many years and that viewers, including viewers who'd stop watching years before, were tuning in one last time to say goodbye. Also agree that it was interesting to see KL finish 27th for the week.  Any show doing that well after 12 seasons is a miracle, lol.

      I don't know anything BTS, but your theory seems reasonable.

      In comparison to Maurice Johnson, sure, but he's still... stiff AF. "Leaps and bounds" is a strong exaggeration as well. Watching him is like watching paint dry. I'd recast him next, ASAP.

      Yes! Andre easily could have just been a hunk with no real depth (like Derek) but his character is rounding out very nicely.

      They're contract; anyone in the opening is a contract player.

      I was watching an episode last night and noticed that Pictionary is taped in Atlanta. It's just a walk for Chandler to the studios.

      Emmerdale: Discussion Thread

      By AMCOLTLLover · Posted

      my vote goes to Eden (Belle)! She single handed carried that show on her back !! Best family will probably be The Dingles! I have to say 2024-2025 was a mixed bag on all of them soaps ! But if I had to say which one would be the best I would give it to Emmerdale for Belle/Tom’s storyarc. It went on for too long but at least was written properly compared to others. But I do think Corrie will win best soap for Mason’s storyline  Best storyline… I wish it would be Belle and tom but the abuse story from Hollyoaks will take that 100%
