I get the overwhelming sense that Europe and fans of this contest are holding onto the fact that this is a good song and because Nemo is non-binary it naturally follows that anything he does must be in the spirit of the contest and, as such, 1 plus 1 = 2.
What do I see when I see this? – about 4 songs sellotaped together. I see a good looker singing back at me, and then trying to be all Jamiraquai and wearing a fluffy JK hat whiist prancing rather smugly through a train with a skirt on. Thats not what your average televoter is going to see though, though they are going to see the dress thing – they are going to see a song that has been overstaged so much that the Swiss have out-thought themselves with how this looks on camera.
Is it art? – probably. Is it a 15/8 certainty to win the contest? – Nope – But that shouldnt stop it being up there.
