ESC Covers start the Eurovision 2024 countdown from position 37 to the top place. We are using the review of Morten Thomassen from Norway. ESC Covers google translated it from Norwegian to English.

This is a blog entry and represents only writer Morten Thomassen’s own views.

After being such an almost regular supplier of rock songs, our Finnish friends changed their style last year and gave us something more lively pop with a clear undertone of good mood and a nerve in songs that should get us in a party mood and, as you know, it went very well last year, the same recipe worked just as well this year, but when you cook soup on a nail, soup number two is not as tasty.

As expected, Windos95man didn’t get very good results from the juries, but with the people it went a bit better, but unlike last year, it was only northern Europe that fell for what we were served this year and another country can thank its neighbors for that they stayed away from the bottom battle in terms of points.

I feel that it is within the scope of placing this song that there shouldn’t be rules end up in the nonsense songs category and there were actually some of them, so in that way they competed against each other and that rarely helps to get high on the results list.

Silly songs quickly end up in the category of love and hate songs and I myself ended up being in the love group here, this is what I would call wonderful madness, this song puts me in a good mood and it sometimes takes me to like a song.

Vocals are probably what happens a bit shaky and when the whole show that happens on stage is supposed to hide a guy who isn’t wearing panties, the show is just as stupid as they surely wanted it to appear, so you have to be on board with this form for humor you have to like it, but as I said, as a nonsense show I feel that the goods were delivered, but of course, many probably thought this was too much nonsense.

While the 2010s were rather sad in terms of results for our Finnish friends, the 2020s gave them a place in the finals every single time, but maybe something other than silly pop next year would have been a thing?
