Yeaaah, inside jokes from Denmark don't work that well for European events.

The flags thing was kind of nice. Definitely an improvement over the tourist advertisements from past years.

Agreed, the booing for Russia was not proper or in any way called for but that's humanity for you.
I liked the song, it was nice.
The staging was pretty horrible though. The fact that the singers were like statues on stage didn't help that at all. So rigid and still. Like they were in a funeral or something o_O

This is not how you recognise a good song, this is how you recognise a repetetive song.

Denmark, Malta, France and Armenia are all songs I'd have given zero points btw.

Calm After the Storm, Miracle and TikTok are songs that have got listens from me after the contest.

That is arguably true. It s also a question of what you look for in a Eurovision song.

I thought those record parts so were SO dull. The event is already way too long so please don't prolong it intentionally. They would have fit nicely in the time they were counting the votes or something similar.
It was said that some countries had to have commercial breaks, and the records history was a way to fill these gaps with intelligent content for the other countries.

I understand why people boo'ed at Russia from a political statement, but I think it was injust towards the actual act. I think the song was great, the staging beautiful and the singers excellent. It certainly was in my top 10, possibly even top 5. But of course, the idea that Russia comes this year with a song about spreding love and understanding was not only a joke but a downright offence, given their recently actions, so in that light, I think they were asking for it.
There was a lot of booing at first, but after a while most of the audience actually cheered whenever Russia got high points from a country. I liked to hear that most people understood that the Tolmachevy sisters aren’t the bad guys in world politics
Even if the Russian entry was a tragic example of a totally watered down potentially good pop rock song it was NOT bad, it was just a good yawn except when everything turned yellow. Maybe Roxette could’ve made the song more memorable.

All this talk about the Dutch act, but even after semis and finale, the ONLY thing I remember of that song is that there were traffick lines on the stage. That for me is why the song was not a winner - it was nice but forgettable. The countrys where I'm actually able to sing part of the song here the day after are: Austria, Sweden, Denmark, Russia, Malta, UK, France, Armenia.
Calm After the Storm was stuck in my brain the moment I first heard it. Melody, guitar, voices, lyrics, road stripes and the steady beat – small means creating a big song.
