I’ve read so many rave reviews of this song. I’ve been told it’s ‘art’. I’ve also read reviews that dismiss it as a pile of pretentious tuneless twaddle.
I fall firmly into the latter camp.
I’ve been told the reason I don’t understand this lies in the fact I don’t appreciate ‘Fado’. This isn’t fado. Whatever it claims to be, it’s not particularly well-performed.
I’ve yet to make it through the full three minutes and doubt I’ll do this in May either. In fan-talk, this is a ‘toilet break’ song.
I would go so far as to say this is the worst song I have heard in the contest. Ever. And I’ve been watching since 1972.
But as with anything, I defend its right to be there. Variety matters and if we all liked the same thing, Sweden would win every year.
