There were so many acts explicitly trading on sex, really annoyed me - "Do you wanna see me dance?!" and Armenia caressing her nether regions while singing about panic attacks being the most egregious. There were some great acts who were a lot more subtle about it, or not even implying - like Mimicat! Also Austria, Lithuania, Norway and of course Sweden with always classy nature's child, Queen Loreen, and the strict and straight elegance of Spain and France. Mia and Nicolai too, just for the tension between them - I'm fairly sure they're not a couple, but damnit, aren't they incredibly cute together?!

We also went to the Eurovision village for the grand final screening the day after and apart from getting sunburnt because there was literally no shady spots, it too was amazing to be there singing (or more shrieking) the songs with everyone else. Also reacting to the points there was audible gasping when Spain, Austria, and the UK got their shocking televote results… and the fireworks at the end, my friend said she was almost crying when they started.

The thank you points concept would be logical. But usually the hosting country gets really low points, even if they send a very strong entry. It’s common they get less points then you would expect if the song was sent by any one else. But usually the hosting country is the winner. And I think that whole less points thing useally is because I guess not having the same country winning maybe 3 times in a row or something. So I don’t think that should apply, but idk.

La Zarra real queen 👑

Thanks Georgina for all your reactions throughout this Eurovision season. I'm not a singer and can't really judge too much on vocal quality, but for me the standout vocalists were Remo from Switzerland, Blanca Paloma, Monika from Lithuania and Mimicat. What I did want to briefly mention is the lyrics. Here I disagree with you slightly - I find the Armenia lyrics a bit cheesy 'drink smoothies at near cafes' - at our party were were laughing so much at that line, and the way she sang dogoobegoologoo. :) On the other hand, I personally find the Belgian lyrics so deep and meaningful - especially as a queer person. The fact that in the LGBTQ+ community we are put into boxes of the 'type of gay you are' or the like, and Gustaph was really able to emphasise that we shouldn't be putting anyone, LGBTQ+ or others into boxes, with simple but effective lyrics, was really fantastic. Yes, it's about being yourself, but it's also about not judging anyone by a cover. I'll give you a universal example - I wear hippie trousers because they are comfortable, breathable and I like wearing them (my Mum told me to take them off the other day because 'people were going to be coming in, and it was the first time I had the courage to stand up to her and say 'no'). I am in no way a hippie, but I'm lumped into a box because I like those comfortable trousers. Gustaph really resonated with me through those lyrics and that message and stopping putting anyone into boxes and stop letting people dictate to you about the box you're in, and actually this Eurovision season because of his lyrics, his song and joy, I was able to just forget about all the boxes people put me in and be who I wanted to be. The words may be simple, but the message is far from generic if you look a little deeper into it. Otherwise, thanks again for your reactions and adding an extra dimension of the vocals that I certainly wouldn't understand myself.

Loreen was the only one that gave me goosebumps and glued me to the screen. Shes just another level ❤ If you noticed on TV her performance was done more like a music video with all the cameras recording very close and focusing on her from different angles mainly, while they shown the stage and the audience only 1 second and at the very end of the song

Don't care too much about the performers this year. There were too many clown acts for my liking... I think the best song won, though. Last year's entries were much better overall IMO. BUT, I will say that the staging and THE LIGHTS this year were absolutely spot-on! Top quality production value! WoW! Don't know who did those, but this is the best I have seen so far in this show... very much contrasting with last year's Italy failed production. The UK should be proud!

I totally agree about Estonia. It looked like she was lost on the stage, but it was some kind "choreography". I also liked the white dress much more that she was wearing in Estonian final. But overall I was in tears when she sang, It was absolutely amazing! Thanks you so much for all of the honest rewevs and support!❤ Greetings from Estonia 🇪🇪

La Zarra absolutely did not make a rude gesture at the announcement of the public vote. As she said in an interview after the show, this gesture is a toz, that is to say a gesture between friends to express a disappointment.

Every year you get these same comments (especially in the UK): we get no pints because Europe hates us. Which is rubbish, it's just a simple numbers game: there are 26 songs and every country can give points to 10 of them. Even if the jury and televote are completely different, that's still only 20 songs that get points, so you'll always have 5 to 10 songs that don't get many points. The UK song, like Austria f.ex. wasn't in many people's top 10, so didn't get many votes. There's of course some politics and migrants voting for their country of origin (f.ex Germany always giving plenty of points to Turkey), but in the end if your song is popular, it'll get votes.

'Finland lyrics are bonkers' I think you maybe just misundersand them a lot. There's a lot of cultural background to it. Finnish people in general are very introverts and it can take a LOT of effort to put ourselves out there. The song talks about becoming the version of yourself not scared of the social interactions, the other people and just dancing away the night. It's actually a lot more positive and meaningful lyrics than Loreen. Sorry you did not understand them. Finnish is a very small language with only 5 million Finnish speakers.

Well Georgina I would like to thank you for all your posts over the past months, you made 2023's Eurovision so engaging and I look forward to watching you in 2024. I was disappointed in the end (from Australia) found the sound quality of ALL the performances (semi finals and final) coming through my TV really poor... I could hear the hosts, and booth announcers really well, but most acts could barely be heard through the mic. I looked back to 2019, and the stark difference in the decisions about sound mix coming through the broadcast was clear. In 2019 the rules were all about the voice being produced on stage, and 2023's overall presentation was weak and disappointing by comparison. So many of the artists didn't deserve to even be there... Poland was clearly awful from the outset, the UK and Denmark both vocally dreadful all along... And mysteries like Serbia getting through even though he almost failed to sing... It was such a weird experience. I'm quite aware this could be somehow something that happened to broadcast in Australia... But I had to turn up the TV for the acts, and turn it down for the hosts... So all the acts look worse than they maybe were... I don't know. I hope the organizers go back to the stringent requirements for the vocals to be produced in stage in real time again. It's less interesting to watch if you can't trust who is singing what. And, as for jury voting... I simply don't believe that Loreens song was that much ahead of the next offering as to get such a lead on points... If the juries are meant to offer balance, there was none.... And I simply do not think Loreens song was five times better than any other (which is what points would indicate)... The hosts and staging and entertainment were all pretty stupendous. Did anyone else find the sound quality strange?

@roylu8553

Жыл бұрын

Yes, I found the sound quality strange too. I had to turn the volume of the songs louder, but it was still very strange, as one could barely hear them singing, but at the Commercials and when the Hosts were talking, without changing the volume on the TV, it was very loud. I like Sweden, but to me it was not the best song; and Austria was clearly robbed a better position, and especially Austria got a very unfair running order, being 2nd in the Semi Final 2. Loreen was also "only" 2nd in the Semi Final 2, but got a very good running order, but Austria as 1st, it was almost clear, that "we" would be only way behind other participants. Sweden should have started first and I am sure, she would have won also; but Austria with running order 9 would have gotten a by far better place in the Final

Pre-recorded vocals were massively heard during Cyprus performance. Much more than during Blanka singing SOLO

Thank you Georgina for another entertaining ESC season. Was watching all your videos❤

Enjoy your Eurovision break.

Tina Karol wasn't lip-synching, she's really good now.

Interesting that I can hum a lot of the Eurovision tunes, even ones I didn't particularly care for, but I can't remember one single bit of the Swedish song.

Playing with yourself while singing about panic attacks kinda ruins things.

I absolutely loved Tattoo ♥ She's a fantastic performer and puts her entire soul into the performance. Shivers all over my body she's a powerhouse. Voted for her 20 times. Forst time ever that I vote in Eurovision ! You go Loreen what a queen.

Austria I loved from the beginning, but like their video much more than I liked them that night... 🇨🇭 Switzerland was great❣️ Totally agree on Serbia, Cypress, Spain, Albania. Oh Italy 😊🇮🇹, he was sooooo good❣️ I also loved Estonia ❤️ First time I did understand a bit of the hype about Finland, they definitely rocked 🤩 Vesna was very good too👌 ❣️Australia 🇦🇺 🎉❤️👌(my No.1 as far as songs, I wanna listen to again and again)

And yes: Croatia was an absolute no-go 🙈 - BUT: their message was soooo good 💪👌... just completely lost in the crazy stupid performance 😭😠

All the hate comments really destroyed the evening for me 😢 my favorite was Sweden and France, and even if I can’t comprehend why France got such low point I would never go and post the French flag on the posts about other artists on the official Eurovision insta account, or write nasty, hateful things and certain emojis to ridicule another artist… I even saw people writing comments about “ripping loreens nails out and st*bbing her with them”. Never have I ever seen such a hate storm! Like, I thought the Chanel-stans last year were bad (I liked the song tho), but Israel and Finland this year… horrible fans! And no one is ever happy, last year people freaked out because the winner of the public vote win and this year because it’s the winner of the jury. Insane!

Eurovision Fan Community is just extremely toxic. They have always been and it's getting worse every year. Of course cyberbullying is not only a Eurovision thing, in general it seems to be unstoppable. There is no objective way to argue that Loreen's performance was not incredibly well in every sense

see you next year

The French vocals were a let down for me. I was so looking forward to it live because I love the studio track. Sadly, it didn't finish in my Top 10 of the Final.

There were no backing vocals on Mae Muller as there had been a problem with it earlier in the week (for some reason, there was a male voice on it that no-one knew where it had come from!) so the production team decided to scrap it. That's why her voice was weak.

Slovenia reminded me of Harry Styles. Not sure why. Just did. Croatia, if you actually know what it’s about, you’ll like it much more. And honestly, the vocals might have been the worst at Eurovision, but looking back, it wasn’t terrible.

Armenians presentation was placed close to the end of the finale compared to a lot of other performances, which goes to show that the creators of the Eurovision really really loved her. And would’ve wanted her to win. The professionals know quality. In my opinion, the Many of the tt5top winner entries were typical kitsch.

Loreen was THE BEST by a Mile. Ignore the Haters. She & her song was simply AMAZING ❤

The Austria review is missing

Loreen's performance was exceptional, soulful, and emotive, which is evident from the fact that she won the competition. Her vocals were powerful and her stage presence was captivating. She put her heart and soul into the performance, and it is unfair to criticize her for simply winning a competition that is based on the merits of the performance. Hate and negativity have no place in the world of music, and it is important to celebrate the diversity and talent that each artist brings to the stage. Instead of focusing on hate, we should focus on the positive impact that music has on our lives and how it brings people from different backgrounds and cultures together.

I thought her performance was far from great, but a bit better than in the semi. Her best performance was the winning one, I think she was less nervous. But let's be honest here - both her competition performances were not as good as expected.

She was boring. Didn't deserve to win.

Mae was sabotaged by her background af. She was drowning in it as hell.
