This is by far the most competitive field of contestants for the Barbara Dex award that we've seen in a long time! What a time to be alive.

Am I the only one who really likes :hr: Nina's outfit? xshifty I think it will look really cool on TV and it goes perfectly with Nina's quirky personality and her entry, which is giving me mystical vibes

It's quirky but it also looks like she ran through a chicken farm whilst covered in glue

If we're going on who looks plain awful then :de: hands down. Her outfit bugs me. How sad I am for letting the costume of an 18 year old Japanese culture obsessed girl bother me, but I just can't help but feel irked each time I see her standing there, stiff as a plank of wood, singing that ultra dull song. It feels so "look at me". There's nothing there to excuse or even compliment the look. No charisma.

I think the Barbara Dex award can often be seen as a badge of honour though. Thinking with that frame of mind then :hr: should get it. I'm not ashamed to admit I love Nina's outfit(s). As it stands her song is the only entry this year that has grown on me, and dare I say the performance and costume might be having something to do with it. I think she looks gloriousxheat Up there with the Rona's and Vilija's in terms of peculiar awesomeness.

If it wasn't for those things coming down from her arms I think it would look very good, but that just really destroys the outfit.

I was gonna say that ^^^ the dress is passable, though it's too white! Her hair, complexion, dress... maybe it's a metaphor for the light transferred by a lighthouse?

Germany beats them all to be honest. Those Christmas trees and toy-shop on her hair bug me. Big time. I can't take the song seriously because of that.

Thats the question: Croatia, Bulgaria or Germany. Or is there a dark horse. This is more interesting that wondering if Russia will win or not.

Yeah, the German comentary said, that they were sponsored to be able to take part. But I hadn't thought, that they were that broke. Or it was simply cold on the stage.

Rather than punishing those who actually showed a bit of thought and courage with their outfits (see Croatia/Bulgaria), I’d say :lt: totally deserves the award. All of it.

Whoever had the idea that white leather jackets should exist needs to be strangled with one. The hairstyle just completes it.
