Dirkje PronounsShe/her/hers Moderator 7,438 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 I saw the show and my favorite song was Israel. Glad they went through. Eurovision is about the music and fun, not the politics. And that song was a bop. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not even in the same language. I like the song, because it has energy and it dares to be different and it is a marvellous combination of cultural heritage and modern sounds. However you have to keep in mind that one of the most popular recent bands in Estonia does something similar - combines folk with pop/rock so maybe my country just likes this stuff. I would not be surprised if there was a large geographical divide in the votes in a sense that Eastern-Europe loves the song and Western-Europe not so much as many Eastern-European countries have a similar folk-song heritage/sound with Ukraine. As far as I know 1944 is also a folk song with traditional Crimean chants. For me SHUM just sounds shouty and unmelodic, so I can't really enjoy any part of the song. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they make it into the top 10 in the finals. Edited May 19, 2021 by Blown Away 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "shouty" vocals are typical of Eastern-European folk music so maybe I've just grown accustomed to it, but I like it in the song. Overall the vibe for me is that I am at a folk music festival rave after midnight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JennyWayne Pronounsshe/her Popstanne 7,453 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 A member of the Icelandic band got tested positive for COVID, a mess. They'll probably have to use their live-on tape for Thursday now. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a member of the Icelandic delegation. Now a member of the band got tested positive. They already confirmed that they're not performing live in Rotterdam. It really sucks :/ 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The non-slav part of me was like "this is so shrill and weird, ew" The slav part of me was internally breakdancing. Anyway, I was rooting for N. Macedonia and Azerbaijan getting in, and one of them did, so I suppose I'm happy. I guess. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blown Away ARTPOPster 1,514 Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Tonight Estonia, Czechia, Albania and Finland (the superior version of Italy) need to pass. Switzerland is OK and San Marino too perhaps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
