Singing in Dutch, that's brave.

That last one is growing on me weirdly

The Dutch song gains an expansiveness halfway through that gives it something extra. Odd how the crowd sound like they're singing along a lot more than usual.

It’s not a patch on last year’s though

Yes, it's nothing special.

I'm glad it's passable as it would be really annoying if it was a shitty ballad and won anyway.

Oh good, a spoken section, that’s never cringe

Well at least it's not only the UK entry that's included an awkward reference to the pandemic in the lyrics.

Oh, subtitles are the lyrics in English...

So bored with these stop/start ballads that get really really quiet then REALLY REALLY LOUD.

Seemed like he had a good enough voice to carry something more than a Timberlake knockoff

That could have been from any Eurovision in the last 30 years.

Now I've heard these turgid ballads I can see why people are enthusiastic about the UK entry.

Glad to have a song that doesn't start out all whispery and almost inaudible before bursting into a bombastic chorus and then back to simpering and so on.
― Doodles Diamond (Tom D.), Saturday, 14 May 2022 20:45 (one year ago) link
They had an incredible entry maybe ten years ago with So Lucky but this one is even better and it wakes you up after all those dirges
― gyac, Saturday, 14 May 2022 20:45 (one year ago) link
That's the stuff. It'll do well in the voting.

This is like another country’s entry, which is a compliment. I could see this doing well

He looks like one of the Allman Brothers. But, yes, this is much better than the UK have managed for a while.
― Doodles Diamond (Tom D.), Saturday, 14 May 2022 21:00 (one year ago) link
Yeah, I was a bit lukewarm on it before but it sounds good compared to the patchy offerings we've had so far.
― kinder, Saturday, 14 May 2022 21:01 (one year ago) link
Well the last time the UK won it was a song sung by an American. So maybe that's the key to winning.

A lot of the staging for these entries seems to consist of "how fast can we get these hundreds of white lights to flash?"
