Well I’m perhaps generous in taking on board his apology and what he’s done to make amends with the LGBTQ+ community in the years since. As for the bit in bold, that attitude is why the fandom is getting ever more toxic. Feeling empowered to spout bile just because ‘they won’t see it’. :rolleyes:

Well I’d certainly welcome him - but then again I don’t begrudge someone trying to win something for a second time and be needlessly mean about them.

Well I’m sure the KAJ fans are going to be gracious in victory - although some comments already are…less than pleasant I see already. :rolleyes: Oh well. Congrats to KAJ. I don’t like the song at all. It sums up the 2025 contest to me. Jokey and gimmicky and just not representing what I’ve felt...

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

If Revolution is dated (which it is) then KAJ’s entry is even more dated. First time I’ve heard it after all the hype and it severely underwhelms. It’s like early 2000s Eurovision called - and I rather thought we’d moved on from those times… Not for me at all. Probably in a minority there.

It’s the million dollar question. I don’t think there’s a definitive answer like you make it out to be though. In situations like this in all aspects of life, you can have two people (in this case countries) do the same thing and yet one gets treated differently. That people for you. They’re...

Because to me Sweden has become the country equivalent of the smart kid at school. It’s easy to pick on them and fit in. Certain fans don’t care how it comes across, they’re going to pick on Sweden regardless to me. Whether rightly or wrongly Ukraine will get a free pass from fans now and Italy...

And yet from my perspective I’ve seen quite vitriolic hate of Mans for simply being himself. No wonder he feels like he does. I’ve become really sympathetic to Sweden in the last few years as they are a country taking the contest seriously (which I rather wish all nations would) and they’ve...

Great vocalists, but not a song for me at all. I didn't like it from the leak yesterday and I still don't like it now. It its far too musical theatre-y for my liking. It's too all over the place as a song and I still am really struggling to latch onto any aspect of it. There's not a hook for me...

Kinda puzzles me that some people don’t get why it’s a problem. If the whole chorus was in Maltese, the use of Kant wouldn’t stick out like a sore thumb and might have snuck under the radar. But Miriana isn’t that clever clearly - or her songwriters for that matter. Making it as obvious as a...

Well I've finally got round to listening to the leak and sadly I don’t like it. I can’t stand musical theatre songs and it’s giving big musical theatre energy which isn’t for me at all. I can’t deny Remember Monday sound good, but high pitch harmonising like this always sets my teeth on edge...

The Code was disjointed but I felt that worked to the song and Nemo’s benefit. I’m not sure it quite works here and does feel like The Code 2: The Less Impressive Sequel to me. I’ve still given it a 6️⃣ as in such a horribly, horribly weak year it is one of the better songs even if I don’t...

Desperation and a hefty stench of it coming off Malta. To try and claim it’s discrimination does a real disservice to actual discrimination that goes on in the world. A shameless and shameful statement on their part. They are doing themselves no favours here. Maybe Malta complained about...

I’m not quite sure that’s true. Yes, such comparisons have been made in the wake of Cha Cha Cha but I think that’s in the case of cynical ‘copies’ aiming to be the new Kaarija. Milkshake Man is not that to me - he feels like a ‘fun’ act from any era of the competition. Joost was very much a...

While not everyone agrees with the decision I will say on here it has been pretty civilised to what I’ve seen elsewhere - so that’s something! On the old forum I used to take part in, I see those for the ban have been compared to a certain US President :rolleyes: and been called scum by those...
