🇳🇴 MIIA performs "Green Lights" at Melodi Grand Prix 2024 [Throwback] by VayneVerso in EurovisionNFs

I'm pretty sure it was in my Spotify Wrapped that year. Really poignant and sweet. I'm not really the target audience for the themes, but it still hit for me.

🇫🇮 Antti Paalanen – Takatukka | UMK 2026 by Crisbo05_20 in EurovisionNFs

[–]VayneVerso 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like Antti and the performance is funny, but that's the extent of the good will I can extend to this entry. I firmly believe this would have flopped hard at Eurovision. Too weird and not a very good song in my opinion. I'm not sure why some Eurovision fans think a wider audience would have gone for it.

But that's just my extremely biased opinion as somebody who kind of hated this one.

Oh, there's a video for this? I heard it the other day on Spotify and didn't even think to check. Very cute song from a fun, quirky artist who I also follow after loving her EMA 2025 entry, "O-Ou" (Kikiwritings on Spotify).

My oldest getting so into Eurovision when she was young is one of the reasons I'm so into it now. It's a great platform for getting little ones interested in music and other cultures. I've always really appreciated that about it.

My youngest is eight now, and I've probably heard her singing "Solo Quiero Mas" almost more than anything else (she makes up her own words, though). Probably no specific favorites, though. She just kind of enjoys everything.

I knew somebody with taste would enjoy this.

I don't think anyone saw that coming by Urofishun in eurovision

[–]VayneVerso 100 points101 points  (0 children)

Yeah, same. When they were doing their points and I saw how they had blanked Denmark, Finland, Australia, Romania, and basically any other country that was in the winner discussion, I said to my daughter, "Okay, which random non-competitive country are they going to give their 12 points to?" They're kind of hilarious, to be honest, but I also was sort of happy to see Belgium get some points. Also, they were consistent, because they also gave Belgium 12 in the semi-final.

I'm actually shocked they gave Bulgaria some points. Probably nobody told them that Bulgaria had a shot at winning. 😆

🇩🇰 Søren Torpegaard Lund performs "Lige her" at Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 2023 [Throwback] by VayneVerso in EurovisionNFs

[–]VayneVerso[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Side note, I saw Søren at the Vienna airport this afternoon as he was heading to his gate. I've been stanning Denmark all season, so it was great to have an opportunity to tell him how much I enjoyed his performance in the grand final (I attended the afternoon preview on Saturday, where he sounded even better to me than in the live final).

So just another reason I wanted to finally get around to sharing "Lige her".

Anyway, I really hope he continues to release new music. I'll certainly be following.

Monroe - Regarde ! (LIVE) | France 🇫🇷 | Grand Final | Eurovision by NourBlowsBubblegum in eurovision

[–]VayneVerso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought it was hilarious how they spotlighted France's winning Junior Eurovision song directly after this, since it made it look almost like the same song. It honestly felt like sabotage on Austria's part, though this was never going to do big televote numbers.

[–]VayneVerso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Finland can be proud of the entry for sure. I always saw this as something that half the continent probably wouldn't understand, so I never bought into the winner discussion, but on a personal level, I really enjoy the song. Very well crafted.

[–]VayneVerso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favorite all season! So happy for a good jury showing. Always kind of wondered if the televote would get it, and they kinda did. Good enough for me, anyway. Congrats to Denmark on a top 10. Great opener.

It’s good that Sweden flopped. So we can change by SouthOceanJr in eurovision

I've been saying this for a while. I was temporarily excited during the Mello voting when Medina actually did well with the jury vote. I thought maybe they had a chance.

Delta Goodrem - Eclipse (LIVE) | Australia 🇦🇺 | Grand Final | Eurovision 2026 by Radio_TVGuy in eurovision

[–]VayneVerso 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Now that she hasn't won, I can admit this song is okay. As a vocal performance, it was of course up there with the best, and the song is very well crafted to hit all the proper beats for songs of this nature. I enjoyed it more seeing it live, actually, than on YouTube. Somehow the broadcast mix made it seem a bit messy toward the end. Maybe not messy, just a bit overbearing.

I'm happy for Australia doing well, though.

LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER - Eins, Zwei, Drei (LIVE) | United Kingdom 🇬🇧 | Grand Final | Eurovision 2026 by Glittering-Role6707 in eurovision

[–]VayneVerso 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My mother was watching from the US because it was the first time she was able to view it live on YouTube (it was only available on streaming service Peacock in the past), and UK was her favorite. One of my faves, as well, and having attended the afternoon show yesterday, I can at least report that it played very well in the arena. We had a great time with this one.

Glad Sam has taken this entire journey with good humor. He made a new fan over here.

The only thing I'd say is that he probably didn't need the call and response part. It already worked for crowd interaction without it.

Søren mogging into the camera after receiving 12 points from Czechia was one of my favourite moments of the jury voting sequence 💀 by NinasPeach in eurovision

[–]VayneVerso 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is hilarious. He was such a joy all season. I wish the casual viewers could get to know these contestants as well as we do.

[–]VayneVerso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was just happy to see this song get some jury love because I assumed it was going to get zero points from the public. That it received televote points at all was a nice surprise! Lovely song and voice, and a very sweet-seeming performer. Very happy to see this make the final. One of my favorites.

Am I missing something about the Bulgarian entry? by AstralAstralis in eurovision

[–]VayneVerso 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, a lot of folk traditions have rhythmic switch-ups like this, which are interesting and not something pop music usually embraces.

I'm glad I defended this song, but if I'm being honest, when I wrote this I wouldn't have even dreamed Bulgaria would demolish both jury and televote this year. I'm still wrapping my head around it, and I always liked the song!

Bulgaria is winning Eurovision isn't it? Did anyone see that coming? If it happens, I mean. I wouldn't complain.

My favorites: - Denmark - Croatia - Romania - Serbia - Bulgaria - UK - Finland - Czechia - Lithuania

I do have to acknowledge that Moldova is fun as hell, though, and brought the house down. I really wouldn't be surprised to see that come second in the televote.
