Nothing like Finland 2016 or Hungary 2018. To me it‘s new wave-industrial. Something I actually ike to listen to. (Skinny puppy anyone?)
But this is Eurovision. The same time I appreciate we have something completely different it feels so strange.
I can’t say I don’t like it. I just need some time to recover from this. It‘s actually not bad. But not good either. Just totally fascinating. Like a car crash, you just have to look.
Several points were made chosing this. Iceland said ENOUGH!
as for its odds, they are about winners and nothing else. hatari being 4th in the odds doesn't mean all people think it will be top 4, it means it's the fourth most common bet for winning. yes, if juries hate this it's going to do pretty badly, but if they don't it's so easy to see this having the televotes to win that it becomes an easy bet. netta was super high in the odds and she was almost as big of a jury risk. nobody wins big money in odds without taking a risk. remember when jamala was as low as 80/1 during the jury vote reveal in 2016 and someone here made big money off that? that's the spirit.
i mean good for you that you saw jamala coming but the public mostly didn't which is the point lolJamala was the one from two (another - Austria 2014) most predictable Eurovision winners in last 10 years.
Least predictable - Portugal 2017.
Yes. The biggest blowout winner in the HISTORY OF EUROVISION who got massive critical acclaim from all preshow sources is the least predictable winner we've ever had. Over a woman who wasn't even on most people's radar as a top five placer and a drag act who people were fearing an NQ for until rehearsals began.Jamala was the one from two (another - Austria 2014) most predictable Eurovision winners in last 10 years.
