Americans, do you like the winner of eurovision?

[purplepoppy]

Everyone in Europe has just sat through 4 hours of music and voting, it takes a lot of beer and determination but we endured and now it's over.

Nemo has won Eurovision for Switzerland. So America what do you think of the winning song https://youtu.be/CO_qJf-nW0k?si=fB6p73whyhzjZaXs

FYI the UK only got 46 points from the jury and 0 points from the public compared to Switzerland 226 and 365.

What's difficult to understand as an American is not so much a guy in a pink skirt who goes from a singing soprano to rap in the same song. But it's how such absurdity can come across as formulaic. Can we leave the rap to the guys from the Bronx? And the soprano to starry-eyed females? No, see that's too American. What we need to do over here in Eurotrash land is meld all that together and show the world what diversity really is. The end result sounds corporate, phoney, a total crock of shit mockery of music. But hey, if it keeps guys like Hitler and Napolean from wreckin' you guys' shit then good for you.

There's a YouTube video called "Americans react to Eurovisoon.' They graciously put down an appetizing bucket of fried chicken 🍗 to make this reaction video, so show them some ❤️.

I assume that Max Martin and Dr. Luke were disqualified from participating because otherwise they would have secured the trophy for Sweden with their songwriting and production. I wasn't sure any non-Swedes were allowed in the European music industry anymore...

@purplepoppy We Americans may never know. The linked YouTube video is not available in the US.

[AviatorTom]

I was able to see a snippet of it in this video.

The song is not bad... I'm not sure why it won though. There were many good songs.

[Lynx122]

It's as much a popularity and good will contest for the country as well as the song itself. You can't vote for your own country so a lot of countries vote for their neighbors. But the war in Ukraine has probably disrupted the eastern European unity and Brexit hurt the UK. I don't know exactly why but it seems like Switzerland was the one most countries didn't mind voting for this year. Now I have to hear about this guy for the next 20 years in the Swiss media because we're not winning again and there's not a lot of people who do something noteworthy so this guy will be in the newspapers and on tv all the time now. I liked the Greek song and a few others too :).

[purplepoppy]

I think the "little englander" mentality displayed in British tabloids destroyed our chances long before brexit. Europe wasn't ready for 4 naked gay guys doing it doggy style in a toilet either. But your right, the voting is as much political as it is about the music

[Lynx122]

Lol I didn't see the UK song yet but your description was great and fitting as usual. "Instead of going for glory, the UK went for gloryhole" was a great comment too XD

[NathanDavis]

I've never watched any of those shows...

but I'll give it a first listen to this one song

[Lynx122]

Wait a minute wut? Switzerland won? We never win XD

[KostasKouvalis]

Well, looks like you just wasted a question

Fucking EU and their copyright laws

[purplepoppy]

Shit, probably illegal for being too woke

[KostasKouvalis]

Damn, now I'm even more curious. Fucking assholes!

[KostasKouvalis]

So I was able to listen to the album version?

https://youtu.be/0JqxpaJot2E?si=-fqLP8ZOozONpbso

I couldn't finish it. What the hell was that? I was gonna say, Europeans' taste in music has really gone downhill, but after looking up the artists, it's pretty obvious "they" as they want to be called, won.

Yeah, I understand now why that video was blocked from being viewed in America. It's not from copyright like I thought, 'cuz none of the other ones are blocked. And honestly, I'm glad I couldn't watch it😂

Also, WTF is Australia doing there?

[KostasKouvalis]

I liked Armenia's

[butterly248]

Use a vpn lol

[Anonymous]

I don't see why it matters what Americans think. And not everyone in Europe sat through it, most of us never saw any of it. A load of crap that has always been fixed, first by countries favouring countries that bordered them or in the same region as them. Then the woke brigade took over.

[Jersey2]

Unimpressed. I googled the winner’s video, the chick with the long nails. Boring. Like an 8th place America’s Got Talent performance. I clicked it off after a couple of minutes.

[JesseP1nk]

Not American but i hate it. That is just gay

[patois]

What is Eurovision, a gay television channel?

[Iron_Man]

we have a lot of music festivals in America no I didn’t see your music festival

[RedInnocent69]

Well, that was odd. I’d expect nothing less from Eurovision. LOL.

[Pterodon]

I couldn’t care less Poppy. What you do over there is your business so stay out of mine

[butterly248]

I know some Americans who like it :)

[butterly248]

And yes Olly was very bad lol

[AngryCarl]

I feel so excluded.

[Rangers]

Literally nobody in the universe cares

[Anonymous]

Nobody in USA watches that shit

[butterly248]
