Eurovision 2018: AND THE WINNER IS...

ISRAEL: NETTA - TOY!

*Chicken sounds* 

I finally had the chance to watch all the performances from the final (In good quality) and I gotta say good job to all the acts that participated this year, what a great show it was, you all should be very proud of what you did on stage! (Also thanks to RTP for giving us 3 fantastic nights)

The jury votes were all over the place (Was not a fan of their top 2) but when the televote results were revealed I had so much fun!. Im actually happy with the final results, I would have liked to see Hungary in the top 10 but yeah I knew the juries (Knowing who they were) were not going to vote for it. I loved Toy since the 1st time I heard it and even if I still dont love the performance, I think Netta really shined in the final (1000 times better than in the semi) and she deserved to win! CONGRATULATIONS TO ISRAEL!

Now I'll add some pictures from my favorite performances:

ITALY: Ermal Meta & Fabrizio Moro

Such a simply yet stunning performance! Seeing them in the televote's top 3 made my night!

CYPRUS: Eleni Foureira

YEAH YEAH FIRE! Eleni would have been a very deserving winner! She is not only a fantastic performer, she is also one of the nicest artists!

HUNGARY: AWS

I love these boys and I cannot wait to get more music from them!

GERMANY: Michael Schulte

One of the most beautiful performances of the night! Good job Michael!

ALBANIA: Eugent Bushpepa

THE VOICE OF 2018! Standing ovation for Eugent!

LITHUANIA: Ieva Zasimauskaitė

Adorable!

CZECH REPUBLIC: Mikolas Josef

Congratulations to Mikolas for getting an amazing result! Thats what you achieve with hard work!

SPAIN: Amaia y Alfred

I think they did their best and I got all emotional with their performance, sadly TVE still dont care about the contest and keep fucking things up. 

UNITED KINGDOM: SuRie

I dont like this song but what SuRie did after the incident left me speechless, WHAT A PRO! I get goosebumps everytime I watch the performance. She is a great artist and I hope the BBC gives her another chance, I would love to see her come back to the contest with a song as good as her!

SLOVENIA: Lea Sirk

Hvala ne ne!

PORTUGAL: Cláudia Pascoal

This didnt deserve last place!

UKRAINE: MELOVIN

Underrated by the juries!

THE NETHERLANDS: Waylon

Yeehaw!

Eurovision 2018 - Semifinal 2: Results

Semi 2 is over and here are my opinions about the results:

All the songs I liked in this semi qualified so there are no NQ shout outs.

THE FINALISTS

10. DENMARK: Rasmussen

1st thing I'll say is VIKINGS DONT WEAR EYELINER so they better fix that for the final. I still dont like the song and I thought the performance was kinda flat.

09. SERBIA: Sanja Ilić & Balkanika

This was actually a pretty solid performance!

08. AUSTRALIA: Jessica Mauboy

I really dislike this entry but I gotta say that even if I think the whole performance was a mess, it wasnt as awful as I thought it would be, I dont know if this makes any sense but I truly believe she left her heart on stage and that's what made the audience go wild in the arena.

07. MOLDOVA: DoReDos

Im still not a fan of this song but the perfomance was fun, I enjoyed it. (BTW: Moldova 17 >>>> 18)

06. THE NETHERLANDS: Waylon

This was a great performance, Waylon knows how to move on stage and his vocal perfomance was really good!

05. NORWAY: Alexander Rybak

I love Rybak and the whole act is good but I dont think this is going to win and Im okay with that cause he is much better than this song.

04. SLOVENIA: Lea Sirk

This was amazing! She sells this song so well and even if I didnt like the "technical problem" idea, it kinda worked. Good job, Lea!

03. SWEDEN: Benjamin Ingrosso

There's not much to say about this, I think Benjamin is adorable and the staging is impressive. Do I want it to win? Hmmm nah. Would I be okay if it wins? Yeah.

02. UKRAINE: MELOVIN

He has such a mysterious aura and it works perfectly for this song

01. HUNGARY: AWS

This is probably my favorite entry of 2018 and I would love to see this winning, but sadly I dont think it will happen, however I really hope they get a great result cause they fucking deserve it. The performance was strong but it didnt give me the winner alert vibes I was expecting, still this is a quality metal song and the guys are just brilliant so please vote for them on saturday! GO HUNGARY! GO AWS!

The Netherlands 2018: Waylon

Waylon is back and this is "Outlaw in 'em", his Eurovision 2018 song:

Waylon has such a strong stage presence and I think he could do a kick ass performance with this song. Good luck to The Netherlands!

The Netherlands 2014: The Common Linnets (Ilse Delange & Waylon)

This year Anouk did a fantastic job in Malmö and i think we can say that thanks to her the dutch people got the interest that the contest needed there after a lot of non qualifying entries year after year and thats why we got a very interesting strong team for next year!

Some minutes ago it was confirmed that the artists that are going to represent The Netherlands next year are:

Ilse Delange & Waylon!

They are going to perform as "The Common Linnets" in Denmark!





Im not a duets fan but i really like them, they are both very talented and i think we could get a fantastic song from them! It will be a country/pop song and it will be presented in march.

Good luck to Ilse & Waylon! I hope they enjoy every moment on this new eurovision journey and i also hope they give us a great song! Go The Netherlands!
