2024 News, Reactions & Gossip

Lisa says my tastes are incompatible with those of Europe, leading to me being disappointed every year. So here's my top 10 for science. 1. Estonia 2. Lithuania 3. Ukraine 4. Spain 5. Italy 6. Ireland 7. Switzerland 8. Slovenia 9. Norway 10. Netherlands Honestly, slot 10 is a toss up. I could pu

It's actually kind of exciting. The song is based on a 1000 year old Norse hymn. The Norwegian national selection made them change the lyrics a week before the performance due to possible copywrite infringement (Idk if there was copywrite 1000 years ago... whatever) They upset KEIINO, a former fi

Nickname is stolen from Reddit. Nebulossa's video will let you know why lol. 80's electropop jam. The whole crowd was singing, and apparently she's become a Spanish gay icon. Video at the video tab Update to say: Zorra means "Slut" (or vixen/female fox) So Slutty Grandma make sense! Love th

Well since my last post 9 songs have been selected/announced! All of the selection and National final videos are in the "Videos" tab under "2024". Chronologically: Moldova: Natalia Barbu with "In The Middle" I actually didn't watch this national final despite being excited about it. Natalia is a

Luxembourg picked a pretty standard Eurovision song, but we need those too! Not gonna lie, I have not been following this one. +1 points for the trophy falling apart in her hands on live tv. Oops.

It's spooky

Silia Kapsis hasn't released her song yet, but based on this photo alone, i think we can reach back into eurovision history and acknowledge the chances of repeating Montenegro's 2017 Dance moves are greater than 0. See below... Unfortunately Montenegro is not participating this year. But they ha

It's on Peacock if you want to watch it! Semi-Final #2 streams live at 3pm EST Thursday. You can vote on the app all day before voting is announced as the "rest of the world" Sidenote, the hosts are really good! We are also adjusting the drinking game, because there's less cheese so far this ye

<Insert Drama Here> I'm too tired and ignorant to do the writeup above. If you want a really interesting and nuanced breakdown, listen to the Eurovangelist Podcast on the topic. Doesn't make it feel less icky, just provides more context. She's getting brought to the international stage like an

Bambie Thug's Doomsday Blues was chosen last Friday and I'm really excited! It has a lot of potential, and I love when there's unique acts. It's in the video's tab and here

Up until today it's been entirely women or women-fronted bands (I'm not complaining) but we also were missing a good joke act. Windows95man shows up with No Rules. Latvia and France fill out the male ballad bingo slot. Slimane is a huge star, so he'll do well even without the build from the sem

After a multi-year voting scandal (they cheated) and apparently spending a lot of money on tanks, they are not participating this year. I'm sad, they usually have good songs.

Pedestal by AIKO was selected to represent Czechia. A mix of Girl Band dancing, mid 2000's rock, and a singing style that sounds like Riot Grrl-era. We'll see how it stages, but honestly I think she needs less cardio on stage if she wants her voice to keep up. https://youtu.be/Ve0pUjbTp7Q

Selections are in! All the songs are announced and available to watch! In order of release! Portugal: iolanda with "Grito" Portugal sent a polished beautiful song I think. Their whole lineup was pretty good, so I am happy. They've been one of my favorites the past 4 years. Georgia - Nutsa Buzalad

It's... super generic, but it was clearly the best of the bunch. EVERY song in Sweden's lineup followed the exact same song formula. It was frustrating after the diversity in Portugal's final (I watched it first) Unforgettable is a good stage with nice dancing Tron Twins. It'll go far because it

Well the internal selections were all the last two weeks it seems! In order of release: Netherlands: Joost Klein with "Europapa" I love this song. It's about living the dream that Joost's father had of travelling around Europe freely without a passport, and how Joost is traveling and living the d

Ukraine held their neational selection at an unkown date and recorded the show so it could be broadcast this weekend. They have qualified for Eurovision finals every year they participate, and I honestly think this is a strong contender. There has been a strong women's empowerment theme in a lot

A*Teens reunion: Band return for Eurovision 2024's Melodifestivalen semi-final in Sweden | Official Charts What a silly time.

She's so big, that after the Stockholm national bid to host the 2024 competition was ACCEPTED, someone noticed that it was impossible because the city couldn't handle the traffic of both the Taylor Swift Concerts and Eurovision in the same week/evening. So Malmo was settled for, but not before a te
