Eurovision 2018

[Zeitgeist]

Maldova had a really weird and quirky song which gets better on the replay. More conventional music lovers will appreciate Cyprus, however.

My impression is that it's always pop music ie, not the slightest interest for me.

I disagree it's mostly pop but not only. lyric music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImawXdXIGd8, rock or whatever : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lR8x85ZFu44 : , soft rock https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0kP074Mw0k

When they have a competition with Norwegian Black Metal, Finnish Symphonic Metal, a Polish Polka, Rai from France, Israeli Mizrachiyya, German opera, and Italian Opera I'll give it a look.  I know the two Israeli winning songs since friends insist I listen to them.

Rai from France,

eww I think I'll kill myself if Rai represents my country

I watched it, imo the most meaningful song won.

Eurovision is nothing more than a political event that falsely uses music as it's "justification".

Clearly, this year's Eurovision was all about identity politic over geo-politcal events.  Vaginalism was the priority over Europe's hatred of Israel (aka pro muslim/Palestine) sentiments.

The UK does poorly in Eurovision because of it's close ties with the US.  Who is the US President at the time does play into it, but only a bit.  The same with who the Prime Minister of the UK is.

Only just got around to watching this year's show, the best song definitely won!
