Here is the second part of four of my countdown, i.e. from my least favorite to most favorite to win, for my Eurovision picks this year. (Read my previous Eurovision post for my picks 40-31.)
30. Czech Republic
Marta Jandová and Václav Noid Bárta — Hope Never Dies
This definitely sounds like a Bond theme meets Nickelback song.
It’s the 60th year of the Eurovision Song Contest, and we’re #BuildingBridges to Vienna. While I’m a relatively new fan — the first Eurovision I watched in full is the Baku edition; forgive me, I’m not from Europe — I’m all for joining in the festivities.
Australia is joining for the first time, which might mean more points for the UK (they have to, right?). And the East seem to be upping their game this year, producing strong entries.
Here is the first part of four of my countdown, i.e. from my least favorite to most favorite to win, for my Eurovision picks this year:
40. San Marino
Anita Simoncini & Michele Perniola — Chain of Lights
Are we supposed to vote for this song? You get the answer within the first five seconds of this song: No! As Graham Norton (sarcastically) quipped during the 60th anniversary concert, Ralph Siegel’s songs are “classic.”
