Apparently this guy is the favourite to win. He certainly has some appealing, er, attributes:

I hope the poor skinny dipper didn't get the bends.

Ok, so thus far on cuteness factor the guy from Finland has got me.

Not sure what to make of the guys from Iceland:

Estonia was probably the best of this round:

I thought maybe they were trying to update the History Channel series Vikings for the 21st century.

Will watch the final, that's all I can handle

Another thing I noticed, the man bun seems to be making a comeback.

The man bun will go down in history as the millennial's mullet.

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

It's been two years since the last Eurovision (last year cancelled due to COVID).

This year's winner is Italy, first time since 1990!! The group is Måneskin (Danish for moonlight) singing Zitti e buoni (quiet and good).



English translation:

[Verse 1]
They don't know what I'm talking about
Clothes are dirty, bro, of mud
Cig's yellow in between the fingers
I'm walking with a cig
Pardon me, but I really do believe
That I can make this jump
And even if the street is uphill
I'm training for this now

[Verse 2]
And good evening, ladies and gentlemen
Bring out the actors
You better hold on to your balls
You better keep quiet and be good
Here people are weird, like drug dealers
Too many nights I've spent locked outside
Now I'm kicking these doorways
Staring up like climbers
So sorry mum if I'm always out, but

[Chorus]
I'm out of my mind, but different from them
And you are out of your mind, but different from them
We are out of our minds, but different from them
We are out of our minds, but different from them

[Verse 3]
I've written pages and pages
I've seen salt, then tears
These men in cars
Don't climb the rapids
I've written on a tombstone
"In my house there's no God"
But if you find time's meaning
You'll climb back up from your oblivion
And there's no wind stopping
The natural power
From the right point of view
You feel the intoxication of the wind
With wax wings on your back
I'll go look for that high
If you wanna stop me try again
Try cutting my head off
Because

[Chorus]
I'm out of my mind, but different from them
And you are out of your mind, but different from them
We are out of our minds, but different from them
We are out of our minds, but different from them

[Bridge]
Unfortunately people talk
They talk, they don't know what they talk about
Bring me where I float
Cause I lack air here
Unfortunately people talk
They talk, they don't know what they talk about
Bring me where I float
Cause I lack air here
Unfortunately people talk
They talk, they don't know what the fuck they talk about
Bring me where I float
Cause I lack air here

[Chorus]
But I'm out of my mind, but different from them
And you are out of your mind, but different from them
We are out of our minds, but different from them
And we are out of our minds, but different from them

[Outro]
We're different from them

Serbia's entrant is getting her doctorate in Arabic philology. I'm sure she has job offers coming out the ying yang.

A little toot from the Italians
