Austria has some “post-feminist” duet song about the ghost of Edgar Allan Poe and the music industry somehow (yes, really), but my favourite ridiculous thing so far is Poland selecting a literal Insta thot who won Next Top Model, evidently can’t really sing, and is hated by all the fags because she is “homophobic and classist/elitist”, lol…
Ah, Eurotrash…
Australia didn’t even let people vote for our entry this year, because the West Australian state government paid to get a particular entry the right to represent the whole country, lol…
Oh, and the singer is an immigration lawyer, in “real life”, because of course he is…
Wack.
The only time I ever pay attention to any music that has 'euro' is Eurobeat because I get bangers like this
Eurovision has been a political exercise for decades, it's just occasionally someone like that metal band with the sick costumes comes in and the few watching choose them because they're actually good.
I just enjoy getting my fill of ridiculous European girls jumping around and singing trashy shit, personally…
But yes, that was Lördi, as mentioned by Gemmaugr. Australia’s entry this time is technically “glam metal”, so vaguely related to that, lol…
But yeah, it’s… There are worse things.
Occasionally there will be one decent song (Lithuania and Estonia this year, for mine). But overall I just find it semi-entertaining, as a break from “real life”… 🤷🏻♂️
Wait, Australia is participating in Eurovision?
We have been for like, nearly a decade now…
It’s a long story. Basically, if the host broadcaster pays to be part of it, the country dubiously can be…
But it’s longer and more complicated than that.
But in short, yes…
Then it's even dumber than I thought. I knew Israel was a part, but then again, Israel is often in European groups because its neighbors are so peaceful and toleratnt.
Fair enough, I'm outside that demographic just because music wise, I'm getting it from anime, soundtracks and memes nowadays so I don't have much crossover with the stuff on display for Eurovision.
