Eurovision Song Contest 2024

It's that time of the year again! Who's watching with me?

I know there are big political questions in play so let's just leave it at that - I respect anyone's decision to boycott the contest this year. Let's keep the discussion civilized and focus on the musical performances, please.

Who are your favourites this year? Any guesses as for the winner? If your country is competing, what do you think about the artist? Did you watch the semifinals or just the grand final? The floor is yours.

Well, I live in The Netherlands so you can imagine I have this wtf feeling what is going to happen tomorrow. We will have to wait and see.

At the moment I really have no clue who to point as a winner. The contestants are very diverse and I think it will be a matter of taste. I thought Finland was funny, Norway was good and most of the countries of the 2nd semi finals were good. The 1st semi finals didn't had a lot of songs that were interesting.
But aside of this I like to watch it. I was at  the 2019 one in Israël which was a great experience.

The media here keep saying the Czech entry is the favourite.

I admit, I don't really watch Eurovision anymore - I used to as a kid but haven't in a while. I have heard samples of most of the songs but I don't really know what folk are likely to vote for.

Just that there seems to be a bit of 'weird'...

The top 3 bets over here say Croatia, Israel and Switzerland. If I have to pick one of these 3 it will be Switzerland.
As said in my previous post, a lot is based on taste.
