VOTED. Can I just say - I missed Spain's final earlier in the year but were they INSANE sending that Disney Channel Original ode to clingy PDAs over Aitana's two immensely greater entries?? A hot bop and a power ballad? THE RANGE OF IT ALL. What a waste in the one year in a long time where latin flavours in music are really in vogue again.
Since work was cancelled tomorrow due to the 35cm of snow on its way, the Boston jury just found a full afternoon for fair deliberations.
Jury is still mid-deliberation (read: I'm still not caught up) but this kinda snatched: I think France had a potential winner here...
So like... does anybody have a YouTube playlist somewhere so I can track all these down with minimal effort (better known as “the Barbi Escobar”)?
...Is pop a criminal offence in Portugal? Can't even nominate the hot guy because of plagiarism. This is a nightmare.
Thankfully there are playlists for most of the countries: Armenia, Belarus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Malta, Moldova, Norway, Poland, United Kingdom
Thank you!!!! You just earned yourself no mention by me of a certain Israeli backing singer turned lead act for approximately 5 months bookmark me !!
@dynamite_state jury has deliberated, the nominations are in. Now I’m going to enjoy my week in the Netherlands and try to forget the horrors I’ve endured for this prestigious ceremony. Xx
Some tea after 5 members of the jury have cast their votes: 3 countries currently have unanimous song picks. 4 countries have received different song picks by each voter. Every participating country has received input by at least 2 voters.
Boston's votes are in, and if you never hear from me again, it was because the Romanian and Lithuanian selections stripped me of the will to live.
Remaining jury members have one more week to submit their votes! (Please do, there's so many ties need breaking ddd)
