If your definition of “Eurovision Winner” in the big bad book o Eurovision contains the words “mumbling” and “hand gestures” and “dandruff” then it also has a picture of Loreen next to it.
The hype about this song is Greek-esque in its silliness – she doesn’t do anything that she didn’t do at the Melodifestival – so us fans have seen the song a billion times.
My issue is the one its always been and this performance confirms it. It raises two significant questions:
1. Are the juries going to be sufficiently “directed” to vote in its favour?
2. Are the televoters across Europe going to see it as winner material?
For me, answer 1 is “no” there are better songs that deserve more jury points and answer 2 is “not sure”…
Qualifying – Yes. Top 5 – Fo So. Winner…… not so much.
