Have you been drinking?  Sorry this post is a cock-up.  Sorry.  Steve Rosenburg is Moscow correspondent for BBC.  And plays piano.  He is a good follow on Twitter.  He has lived in Russia a long time and is married to a Russian.  No lightweight.  He has done interviews in Russia with people like Lukashenko.  But back to the music.

Not too impressed with Austria.

[PandaMunich 16,704]

Portugal: upbeat, but I think I've heard the melody somewhere, so maybe not original?

[pappnase 2,625]

I quite liked France, Cyprus is a bit generic.

Finland delivers a Grand Prix gem 

Neon!

Punk rock!

Ballroom dancers with pinned smiles!

Cyprus will get 12 points from Greece. Wanna bet 👻

Youtube currently has a better quality stream, whilst they keep it up:

I liked Sweden's song, the performance not so much.

 

Norway had a great show, not a fan of the singer, though.

 

I had a show, so I only saw most of the songs in the short form. 

 

Cha Cha Cha!

Yes, Finland with "Cha Cha Cha" was my favourite: https://www.eurovision.de/videos/2023/finnland1044-ardplayer.html
They also got the most points from the general public, 376 points: https://www.eurovision.de/news/ESC-Finale-2023-Alle-Ergebnisse-Platzierungen-und-Punkte,punkteverteilung156.html

 

The 2023 Swedish winning song "Tattoo" only got 243 points from the general public and sounded (at least to me) similar to Loreen's last winning song in 2012 "Euphoria": https://www.eurovision.de/videos/Der-ESC-Siegertitel-2012-Euphoria-von-Loreen,esc1323.html

I think that the Eurovision Song Contest (sic) should be more like The Oscars; as most of the participants needed a good slap.

[tor 17,105]

another side effect of corona is that everyone has forgotten how to sing... 

[scook17 281]

It's funny there are really quite poor songs which the panel scores highly and the public give hardly any points to.

Was better when they awarded the top 3 from the panel, rather than just the top position.

Was easier to see all the 'alike' countries voted for one another 

 

Finland won the public vote by more than 2:1 over Sweden, yet Sweden got more than 2:1 more panel votes.

I am sure in not being alone in thinking the outcome is often pre-arranged.
