I think it's kind of sad that almost all of the women's outfits are either black, white or silver. They look gorgeous, but all the same!! I miss the colorful flowery girly dresses, but well... that's fashion

FACT most contestants outfits were so beige tbh, tbh the entire contest kinda was ngl but not going there jnksfdnjkfsd

its not in fashion to be beige tho idk what they doing

Grand Final Remarks
What are the things to look forward to in the Grand Final?

the opening to a Satanic ritual
the Albanian language and that amazing smoke show
Eden's whistle notes and hairy dress
the legendary band Hooverphonic will perform
Russian language and, literally, a ritual on stage
Destiny's impeccable vocals and sassiness
Portugal in English language and all the nostalgia
HURRICANE IS ON EUROVISION! and the energetic choreo
The big trumpets and finally, a UK radio bop
The green screen dance in action
The vocals, the French language, and Interpretive dance by Gjon T
The quirky dance of Gagnamagnid
Blas' high note and the CGI moon
Natalia's sexy energy and 'gimme some sugar!'
Jendrik's self-directed musical
Blind Channel doing Blind Channel things
A dream in a Eurovision stage
The Discoteque dance and kookiness
Ukrainian language and another spiritual ritual on stage
The show-stopping simplicity and the vocals!
The dance in the bridge and Queen Efendi
TIX's whole dramatic ensemble!
All the Surinamese flair (?) and 'Yu No Man Broko Mi'
MANESKIN! and the overloads of pyro
Tusse's stage presence and the polished performance
All the freakiness served by Queen Senhit

Is it me or is this the most up-tempo final in a long long time, if not for ESC history? I've counted about 6-7 slow songs out of 26, depending on how you class a ballad.

I'm really happy how this year turned out. Everything is uncertain.
Swiss & Icelanders cuties are singing back to each other. France's gonna take all the jury votes from Ukraine, while the televoters gonna recover from The Rave during Barbara's performance. Switzerland & France share French auditory, while Finland & Italy share rock lovers. Everyone's so balanced. Not to mention i love all of them. And this ESC is up to beat every record in TV history.
It's gonna be a big drama on Saturday (the biggest in the Italian thread, of course, no matter what the outcome ), and i'm here for it.

the opening to a Satanic ritual

Oh I cannot wait for the conspiracy teories on YT, I remember watching like an 30min video about how performances at Eurovision 2019 were basically an Illuminati warning and Madonna’s one was a satanic ritual, so I yes. Love to see it.

 

[Elina UA]

Hilarious!

On the other hand, a lot more people will be vaccinated by then, including most of the athletes. I believe it could turn out fine.

The Yankees (baseball) have all been vaccinated, and the virus is spreading among their players.
Just because you've been vaccinated, doesn't guarantee you won't get a different version of the virus as it keeps mutating.

Sure, but more people getting vaccinated = less room for those new mutations. I mean the vaccination won't completely solve the issue, but it will reduce it a lot (both for the pandemic in general and these large attendance events).

 

[Jasi]

Omg I'm so glad Eurovision is all over me again, I feel so much love right now, help I missed Eurovision so much. I didn't realise that until Tuesday and now I'm dancing all day

The thing with vaccination is that is does not necessarily prevents from getting infected, but it prevents you from getting sick because of the infection. So even if you are vaccinated, you'd be infected with the coronavirus, but you won't become ill and (indications are that) spreading of the disease is hindered.

After watching the Grand Final running order recap, I feel fatigue towards the end of the show (think starting from Lithuania onwards). Too little ballads and mid-tempos made it the cut and balanced out the songs. I wonder if the viewers will feel the same especially watching everything.

I feel the opposite, for many years we basically had balladvision, finally there is some life in this!

All the recap makes me feel is...


Gosh this is a mediocre year.

I agree here. But not because of the style of the songs (I predicted there would be less ballads this year because Corona is depressing enough and people want fun). It is because they put a lot of filler songs at the beginning and by the end, when all the favourites are due, half the audience is probably tired or bored.

Really, mediocre??

 

[Gitte]

Really, mediocre??

A lot of 'yeah, that's a song' + 'Ok...If it was all of this, I would agree with people calling it a circus' and only a couple ( ~ 7, while usually at least the whole top 10 should be pretty great) of 'oh yeah that's good' with nothing particularly jumping out as WOAH WINNER, if anything Switzerland or France.
