It was my second favourite behind Croatia.

Same, but they are both 10s for me

They got such insane vocal control.

I had a bunch of friends over for the final and several really liked France.

I wholeheartedly agree. Several artists seem to have become good friends

And on the topic of Bambie Thug, that performance is so insane in the best possible way.

Eurovision is it's own thing.

I never listen to the songs outside of the competition, but within that context, there's plenty of fun to be had if you take it for what it is: a weird, hyper-camp, completely over the top, bonkers spectacular.

Eurovision had the chance to complete eat up lasagna but did not. They chose the clownfish.

Either way, both solid choices.

How does the performer and country relate, anyway?

I figured it would work like the Olympics but evidently not.

San Marino also had Flo Rida one year performing with their rep. (The song was fire IMO)

Fuck the EBU, but not Eurovision. They may own it but Eurovision is all the artists and fans and our online communities which are active all year round <3

Eurovision would lose its charm and become way too big to properly arrange on an annual basis. Who will host the Olympics is decided years in advance but since the winner hosts the next Eurovision you have less than a year to actually plan and execute everything.

I wonder if Nemo chose those outfit colours with the clownfish in mind?

That is actually up to each member country to decide. Here in Sweden the artists can come from any country but at least one of the song writers must be a Swedish citizen. Some countries have as a rule that the artist must be a citizen though.

San Marino only has a population of 30 000 so they have an open selection.

Something to note: Sweden, Italy and Ukraine further cemented their powerhouse statuses by each getting yet another Top 10 result. These 3 countries have usually been in the Top 10 for the past decade and they hold half the wins during the past 10 contests. Sweden in 2015 and 2023, Ukraine in 2016 and 2022 and Italy in 2021.
