But seriously, it’s the gay musical Olympics, what’s not to love? (Unless you’re from Germany/UK in which it’s a point of national pride to dismiss Eurovision, lol?)
No, Germany loves to watch Eurovision, we don’t care, that our own country sucks all the time. By now it’s more of a meme and people are betting, how bad it’s gonna be this year.
I, for one, think that given the recent history and the farce that was the Electric Callboy situation we should from now on send metal acts with steadily increasing levels of heavyness until Europe capitulates.
(The “Electric Callboy situation” was the NDR judging that this song was “not suited for radio play”. It’s one of the most eurovision things ever produced. German radio stations commented the situation by playing it on heavy rotation)
I know it’s not really about Eurovision, but honestly who cares about Eurovision
The entire country of sweden
Not even close.
As a swede I can tell you that statement is not true.
So whole of Sweden -1
Every single Eurovision ever has been justified by this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBAdOlQPbwg
(They were not the winners.)
I don’t care about it, but 162 million people watched it last year 🤷
For fellow Americans… That’s almost 50% more than the Super Bowl (113 million in 2023).
My girlfriend goes absolutely nuts for it. We tune into the national selections.
The songs are usually pretty good and it’s cute AF to see her getting worked up.
There are dozens of us! Dozens!

Glad to hear y’all are having fun with it! Truly, last year’s results surprised me and made me think Germany might actually be cursed…
Agreed. That song was great! It absolutely deserved to come in the top 15 or so. https://youtu.be/5I9CYu668jA

I’m British and we’re obsessed with Eurovision, we also enjoy losing.
Ohhhhhh, so that’s why you guys like playing Cricket with Australia
This is such a great way of putting it! Gave me a chuckle.
Only because Germany/UK is dismissed by Eurovision. Sam Ryder was robbed 2022
And no way did Lord of the Lost deserve last place 2023. UK might have.
LOTL was truly robbed last year, they were one of my faves.
An incredible technical performance! So well choreographed and played beautifully. I 100% agree.
