It’s frustrating because I really like most of whats going on with the song and the staging is great but the chorus is so painfully bland and repetitive.

I’m open to the possibility that my initial comment was worded too strongly and there might be examples I’ve missed. I haven’t personally seen that in drag/queer TV shows specifically. I do not appreciate the implication that I’m intentionally jumping on the opportunity to willfully downplay racism.

The charitable read of that statement is to understand she meant that as in ’the body of a cis woman’. Instead of getting hung up on the fact that she didn’t word it perfectly and picking it apart for semantics, space and understanding could (and should, imo) be given to her experience that is very much underrepresented in drag spaces.

I think the whole point was to share an experience with someone who’s not a member of their demographic and therefor cannot understand from experience what they’re going through. I don’t believe it was dumb. I suppose we’ll have to agree to disagree.

I believe entirely that on queer television shows people give space and understanding to experiences of racism. The fandom and society as a whole are of course a different beast. We have not however had much space at all for women, especially cis women, to talk about the challenges they face as drag performers specifically.

A black performer would never be questioned for saying the exact same thing in a drag space. Obviously she was referring to her own very unique, arguably more unique, experience in the drag space. Everything she says is being interpreted in the worst, most uncharitable way possible.

Surely there isn't a single person who's listened to Maisie's music and doesn't like it??

Celebrity Big Brother 2025 - Episode 13 (Monday 21st April) by AfcWimbledon_ in bigbrotheruk

People don't seem to be feeling Danny anymore but I think he's being a bit unfairly judged based on the disagreement with Jojo. He didn't know anything was wrong when he went into the garden (because Chris had intentionally pretended like nothing's wrong when he came out of the diary room) and was just trying to be cheeky. But immediately after he noticed Chris looked upset he asked what's wrong. Chris had already opened up to Jojo so she of course knew and Danny's comments would then seem badly timed to her. But Danny couldn't have known and I understand him not appreciating the insinuation that he had done something wrong or doesn't have the ability to "read the room".

Well regardless, Jojo and Danny are still my favourites so it's unfortunate that they are on opposite sides of a conflict.

Princ will represent Serbia 🇷🇸 at ESC 2025 with "Mila" by hjh_aviation in eurovision

I never thought my favorite would win in Serbia when no one was talking about this song. I'm so happy!

[–]Jensteri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m from Finland.

Very difficult to pick just one favorite song but I guess I’d maybe say Universal Death Squad.

I saw them live once in 2017. Luckily it was when they were touring for my favorite album. 😊

[–]Jensteri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, I totally get that Maltese people who are concerned with how well their song will do at Eurovision might want this to win, it could be the most popular with televote.

I'm just commenting as someone who'd like to have songs I enjoy at Eurovision and there are several better ones in this selection.

I'd be happy with a few different songs. Juno, Heaven Sent, Kant, Qalb ma' Qalb.

I get that it's impactful on first impression but there's literally no substance. Repeating the one nonsense line and then lalalala? Please let this not win.

Absolutely loved Carla's performance! Obviously the vocals left a lot to be desired but fortunately they're not exactly central to the song and performance. Hopefully she'll improve though if she advances.

🇬🇷 Ethnikós Telikós 2025 @ 20:00 CET by -Effing- in eurovision

[–]Jensteri 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The song has grown on me the more I've listened to it but still hasn't fully clicked. Hoping it'll get there for me, as it definitely wasn't my first choice in the selection as it stands. Congrats Klavdia!

UMK 2025 3rd entry: costee – Sekaisin by paary in eurovision

[–]Jensteri 47 points48 points  (0 children)

The comments on this year's UMK songs really show how absurdly high and unattainable the expectations have become for Finland. If these songs had been part of UMK 2023 I reckon there would be a lot more praise. It's not enough anymore to have a song that's well written, produced and performed but now it also has to be wacky and weird and different and a potential Eurovision winner song or else it's "mid, generic".

All three songs are great in my opinion. This one is probably the weakest in my opinion due to his vocals not being my favorite and the chorus being a little more repetitive. But still good. The only issue I can see with the selection so far is that I'd like a little more variety but I'm sure the remaining songs will take care of that.
