Sweden should send "Bara bada bastu", that's a great song and performance.

Next few entries ... Denmark, Germany, Iceland, and The Netherlands are actually quite good IMO.

The Netherlands and Iceland were ok. Denmark too I guess, but I don't like when a song ends that abruptly. They should be able to construct the song better than that.

Australia - meh.....

Germany, sorry that is not my cup of tea at all. It's not the absolute worst entry this year, but it's definitely among the worst in my opinion. I'm not sure she hit a single note correctly in the second half of that performance.

I like Netherlands best out of this last batch. And the German singer? 100% correct. Of all the singers available to them, they couldn't find one that can sing on pitch? the Swedish song, "Hush Hush"... is it just me, or that song sound like it should be a Turkish entry?

Australia.... I'm not sure what I just watched. How want to lay odds he wears that blue jumpsuit at the contest?

I think so too. It would be so different from the slick, polished pop songs we have sent for years now. And in Swedish as well. It's a song that makes you happy, and we sure could use some happiness right now.

My favorite it still Albania after all these months. Such an interesting song, with strong lyrics and charismatic performer (the girl, not the guy lol).

I do enjoy some other songs, but none are really giving me winner vibes. Austria came out today and I guess I could see that win, but isn't that just too similar to Nemo? I don't see the same thing winning twice in a row. 

I just hope Mans doesn't win for Sweden again (sorry, I am Swede). Mans' song is just horrible. He is an amazing performer and the staging is awesome, but the song itself is just a bunch of nothing, in my opinion.

So I hope Kaj goes for Sweden, it's a real fun song. Even if it does sing about sauna culture lol

Out of other songs, I do enjoy Netherlands (even though the chorus is so weak and repetitive, I like the rest of the song a lot), Luxembourg, Belgium... I love Australia unless I actually listen to the lyrics. The groove and music and the singer are really cool, but again, the lyrics are just bad.

This year's fandom favorites like Finland and Poland do nothing for me. And I hope Estonia does not qualify.

She was actually sick during the National Final. The performance in the semi-final was much better.

Next few entries:

Austria is bombastic, but also quite weird. I guess the juries will love this. Italy is nice and understated. Serbia is quite boring, and Croatia ... well

I usually LOVE Italy. It' s probably my favorite ESC country. I gotta say, I loved Olly (the winner of SanRemo), and I am sad he's not going to Eurovision. Lucio... I love the lyrics. They really are relatable. But I just don't like the song as much. 

Serbia is boring. But since Serbia qualifies every year, I don't mind them not qualifying this year and giving up the space for someone who hasn't been in the final for a while. 

Croatia (my country).. I gotta say, when the songs came out, I really loved this song. However I knew it would need to have amazing staging. Also I had no idea who Marko Bošnjak was, and when I heard the song, I thought it was some cool new band. But then when I realized who is singing it, my enthusiasm went down, because I just didn't believe Marko could pull it off. And now that he won (pushed by the juries, not the televote), I am still not convinced. The staging looked cheap (but okay, they can elevate for Eurovision), but I am still not convinced by HIM.. He needs to massively improve vocally, the big notes are not there. And also he needs to be better and switching between the "cute" and scary moments. Also, I think his "cute" moments should be more like, cute-creepy.

UK and Czechia came out today. I don't know why but I thought Czechia would be a banger. But it's not. It's nice, I suppose. He has a nice voice.

UK is fun! I hope the ladies can sing, because I like the studio version. And in previous years I enjoyed the studio version as well, but it would fall apart live. So I hope they can sing live. Otherwise I predict another bottom 5.

You have nothing to be sorry for. I'm not a fan of Måns' song either. It's the same generic pop we usually send, and we've had much better songs in recent years (I still love Cornelia Jakobs and "Hold me closer"). Måns' song this year feels like an inferior version of "Heroes".

Yes, her performance isn't as bad, but the song still is.....

Austria

Croatia: What the hell is this? The most shizophrenic song I think I've ever heard. A singer trying to look smouldering and scary and the suddenly he breaks into a nursery rhyme.....

Italy: Three minutes of nothing. Italian is a beautiful language, but this is probably the worst song Italy has sent since they came back to the contest.

Serbia: Balkan ballad, formula 1A. It's not bad, but we've all heard this many times before, and better. (Zeljko Joksimovic with "Lane moje" (2004) and Hara Mata Hari with "Leyla" (2006) springs immediately to mind.)

Gotta say, Italy's SONG is fantastic... the singer sucks doodie balls. Someone with good pitch and  a melodic voice would do that song justice. Serbia?? Not bad... certainly an atrractive man, with a good voice, once he opens his throat up.. but in the verses he sings in that damned forced whisper that is so popular today, that I hate with the fire of a thousand suns. Reminds me of these Christian rock singers.

I love it. For the first time since 1998 we will send a song in Swedish. And I'm thrilled that Måns Zelmerlöw didn't win. He's a competent artist and his song and performance were very professional but a bit boring, and it's the kind of song we've sent so many times before.

    • And based on the previews for today, maybe we’ll, uh, finally see something

    • Haven't seen today's ep yet but so will be interested to see the clothes. So far I think they have been very character specific (even if I don't like some of them eg Kat's cutsie style) Anita is very showy/glittery, Nicole classic elegance, Dani sexy/bold colors etc. Unlike Y&R which seems much more generic. Also BTG pays attention to the men's wardrobe and has developed a style for the boyz-which is harder to do with male fashion. The absence of any of Derek/Ashley at any of these big events again demonstrates how they are in a different universe to the rest of the show. Not that a nurse and a fireman would be there but still they seem destined at this point to stay in their own lane and have little interaction with the core of the show.
    • Agnes had written for Bernard Grant for many years on TGL as well as Ernest Graves and Joe Gallison,Doris Belack,Robert Milli,and  Antony Ponzini at AW. So she would probably gravitate to writing a role with an actor in mind or choosing someone she had written for before who she knew could deliver.
    • Once Johnny Dallas' cut himself off from Laurie Ann Karr and their son, and once Laurie successfully recovered from her mental problems, she wanted a new, fresh, and healthy start for the next chapter of her life. She legally reverted her name and changed John Victor's  surname to Karr. After moving to the country (when Teri  Keane was dropped from the show), Bill and Martha Marceau legally adopted Jennifer, the baby girl whom they had earlier taken in when the child's biological mother, Taffy Simms (and other bio family members) proved to be unfit to raise her. Jennifer legally and emotionally became a Marceau, and gave that name to her own daughter, whom Jennifer birthed through surrogacy as a single parent. Et...voila! The Karr and Marceau legacies live on.

    • BLQ is having second thoughts regarding putting her baby up for adoption. Chase is upset he can't tell Dante. So both are putting this on at lulus feet. Saying she is holding it over them. Lulu is doing none of this. 
    • Yes she absolutely was involved in that story which seems to have gone nowhere.  She didn't start to remove herself from the writing until 1973.
    • Y'all are bringing back great memories of AMC 2.0 for me.  I haven't thought about it and the new characters in so long, well since it aired, and I plan to go re-watch it now. When AMC ended, I finally came to peace with it and accepted that I will never watch an hour of a TV show daily in my life again... something that I had been doing since I was 6-7 years old. I was starting a new career, relationship, and chapter in life when AMC 2.0 came out.  I found a way to watch it, but things felt differently for me at the time and when it was so short-lived and gone, it became such a distant memory, sadly.
    • That's a great point. I wish the writing could find those nuances.
