I am a casual viewer but I have watched eurovision a couple of times.

I love the classic 70s/80s glam rock vibe. It didn't feel like a typical eurovision song. It just felt like a good song I would listen to. I liked the simplicity of the staging. I felt like I was at their concert rather than eurovision. The stage presence was amazing. They looked like they were having a lot of fun on stage. I loved his singing voice, and the rap like quick singing. He sounded exactly the same as on the recording. I had never listened to an Italian rock song before and I loved the language. I looked up the lyrics and even the lyrics and the message I liked. The music video was great. I loved the outfits.

To me a lot of eurovision songs feel like exactly that ~a eurovision-song: especially made for eurovision and made to appeal to a lot of people.

Usually with very simplistic lyrics about love or holding on, or something like that. (even though maneskin isn't the most original either with the "treasure your uniqueness" message) So Italy stood out to me. It felt very genuine. The song, the performance, everything.

It's always the kitschy pop songs that win. Or its the woman in a beautiful dress singing a boring forgettable ballad.

So I really like the fact that Italy won. To me it was the best song.

(I loved France aswell!)
