Believe it or not, not everyone treats the ESC like Love Island.
Personally, I think Loreen, whilst amazing, didn’t deserve the win. The song was quite flat and the staging, whilst it looked cool, was basic. It just gives the vibe that she won because of Loreen.
Cha Cha Cha had character. It wasn’t just the arena - saw many friends at watch parties where they all got into it. It’s a much more engaging song than Tattoo.
Equally, Belgium and Norway both got far less points from the juries than they probably deserved. The whistle note in Alessandra’s performance is incredibly difficult- especially when her staging is a lot more physically intense.
And Mae? Arguably her hype was stopped from the start in the fandom because of all the Rina rumours. The pre-party vocal performance was ‘interesting’ and it never quite got to where it needed to be in the final. Still, I reckon it’s this years SNAP. It’ll be come a TikTok trend over the summer I’m sure…
Of course, it’s the 50th anniversary of Abba next year, so we know SVT will put on a good show.
