But it's the beginning which is magical! Sadly that magic only lasts 103 seconds (yes, I've measured it!). After that point, I stop listening.

Maybe I simply couldn't stand the beat.

Same here, I only like that first part. The last part almost sounds like a cheap joke song to me.

When you say juries won't let it flop, do you mean because it's a known fan favourite with lots of buzz and that the juries will feel that they should reward it to avoid looking out of touch? Or that they won't let it flop because they'll genuinely really like it?

This one in first place. That’s why juries vote so often similar to the betting odds, with some exceptions of course, but the exceptions are always "explainable" because they are especially jury-friendly.

I am expecting some surprises in the semi this year different from the odds because it’s televote only.

This. Otherwise it would have been in my top 3, now it isn’t even in my top 10.

I just watched UMK voting on YouTube, my takeaways:

1. UK / Wiwi giving 6 points to Cha Cha Cha is a choice, 12 to Keira another choice
2. Samu Haber is the man! I want to conceive his child, give birth to it and eat it.

But I guess Benjamin got more lucky with him due to his fertility anthem “Hoida Mut”

The UK seem to hate this song. Their eurojury also didn’t rank it inside their top 10 so I expect the consistency will carry over to the real jury

So the UK would pull the same stunt that Italy pulled last year on Spain? Shun the fan fave.

Same here loving Rammstein over Abba

It's just one chord on tuned up guitar that you don't like

Between the UMK jury and the eurojury thats like 11 people lol

The public will eat Cha Cha Cha up tbh

UK will vote for Cha Cha Cha, depends if Poland and Lithuania qualify whether they'll get 12 though (damn diaspora, they'd vote for a literal turd on stage). The gays love Loreen here though

Lithuania qualified back in November when semis were made televote only and the polish diasporia is very selective as to what they come out for

I have banned my Polish friend from voting for Poland. I draw the line at BABEH

LOTL's "Blood and Glitter" will be available in Finnish on May 5th! Here a preview!

I, too, think that Polish diaspora is gonna protest against their own act. Contrariwise the Lithuanians though. I hope the power of Cha Cha Cha can overcome this. I also don't want Finland to lose the televote in Austria against Serbia for obvious reasons.

 

[Lindon]

Perfect result

I just proudly casted my 0 point for Finland and karja. My God most annoying individual this year and one of the most over hyped individuals in the history of Eurovision. He built a character like subwoofer and people are buying it. 147 max points here on this forum for him. He doesn't even sing, he just talks fast, like rap and than schlager. No vocals in a singing competition. And then vocal, silly face expressions it's just so over the top. Unfortunately the song itself does nothing. Like alexandru Eurovision reactor said UK song is more cha cha than Finland's cha cha. You are all gonna have cold shower after results in may. Second place really???? How is this better than France, Norway, Israel, uk, Serbia and Cyprus.

Ridiculous!!!! Especially overhype. Ridiculous everything. His 147 fans who gave him 12 PT do any of you have contra arguments.

Great analysis of this entry in the link below.

I was originally annoyed by the supposed 'sell-out' of this song halfway through. This analysis explains the narrative of the song and its pivot in style. It has certainly helped me to understand and appreciate the song a lot more. I still think that the first half of the song has the greater impact though.
