Now, I love Eurovision. It's a fun, camp, mess. I'm a super fan. And I loved this final so much, truly an incredible experience, but once Ukraine's points were announced, it was all over. It's baffling to me that a song contest designed to showcase creativity, have fun and unite countries has just turned into a pity-fest. I liked Ukraine's entry, but it was FAR from the best one in the contest. And it's not just the fact that I personally didn't like it, it was clear that they were just trying to recreate the power of SHUM by Go_A, Ukraine's incredible entry from the previous year. And it won by HEAPS only because people felt bad because of the invasion. Obviously, it is an immensely tragic event, but I don't understand why that should dictate a music contest. Spain, Serbia, Italy, Netherlands, Sweden, Lithuania, Netherlands, even the UK which I hated, all scored lower because of the politics. This is not about the subjectivity of music, this is about how the world felt the need to pity Ukraine's fairly mediocre entry to the point that it WON this incredible contest. No thank you.
Anyway, Serbia was my personal favourite and Spain was clearly one of the best entries in Eurovision history.
I'm mad and disappointed and just kinda bored.
