Ukraine has won sympathy around the world. But will it win Eurovision, the European song contest? Bettors say yes. Some listeners are cringing. https://t.co/e5Ah5q2BjJ

I thought you were a TERF Islander?
Europeans spend all year listening to British music and then give us 0 points at Eurovision. Italians think they're hot shit because they won Eurovision even though no British person has listened to an Italian song since Pavarotti died and Ed Sheeran is selling out Italian football stadiums.

Every year I get excited for Eurovision. I watch both semis and find maybe one song that I don't think is dogshit. Then the final comes around but I've already heard all the songs and am sick of them. And then the voting happens and a song I hate wins and I get angry.
Then I forget that I hate Eurovision and get excited for it the next year.
Of course Ukraine will win, it's a popularity contest. They introduced judges so that now each country's song is judged 50% audience/50% judge, but the judges are just as biased as the general public. "Greece gives Cyprus douze points!"

I liked the French song, hated the winning song. "We've brought real music back to Eurovision" says the guys playing the kind of milquetoast rock song you'd expect to hear at a high school battle of thr bands.

I heard billy strings and a few othersβ performing a song about Ukraine, itβs always gonna be cringe bc they clearly have no clue whatβs going on other than from what state media propaganda is saying. Makes me wonder if boomers of the 60s felt the same way about niel young and the like whining about Vietnam, but at least they had a reason to kvetch since they were being drafted into the MIC war. The folks singing about it now are just redditors looking for precious updoots
