what a dumb mess the EBU has been, seems like belarus entry wasn't political at all, the lead singer of the band has come clean what the intention of his entry was all about
and he was surprised too the EBU pulled it out for being too political, it was never their intention and this band will remain their act too for this year it seems (not sure if they opted for change of lyrics or a new song since lyrics editing feels tempting not much work to be done there)

HoD Meeting today
Azerbaijan song: hmm kinda disappointing, but maybe it can grow on me idk we'll get Malta and Georgia later on and since its HoD meeting i am expecting again some news on Belarus's format of participation, which option of the two they went for me, maybe some final decisions (more bc BTRC are constantly in contact with EBU)

on Belarus
nothing new on twitter, apart from one confirmation post that Galasy Z Mesta will remain their act for rotterdam if everything goes to plan, so i presume the new song is now more undergoing the screening process under BTRC/Lukashenko and EBU supervision very thorough i think too wouldn't surprise me if we get the most sterile/PC song eurovision has ever seen but hope all goes well, i'm among minority ofc, and they won't get high result but i hope they are still in, russian retro rock seems to make me very very happy and in a good mood so

I'm pretty sure this is unpopular here but this year is complete crap.

songs whom i recommend to anyone on here: from Azerbaijan (another homage to a historical figure Mata Hari), Malta (bit of 1920's in music video meets sister act sort of gospel/soul diva pop song with a hint of french), Serbia (serbian pussycat dolls, but song wise very 80's disco in serbian language), Ireland (very folkish 00's pop, really catchy)
Iceland (for me much better than think about things, similar disco vibe but somehow better) Poland (alcazar vibes, also a very likeable singer one of JESC2020 hosts too fun fact)

also more interesting fun facts
Norway: sending most current artist out there, No Keiino aren't current at all with mainstream norwegian audience Portugal: Black Mamba are a respectable quite known band, also they sing mostly in english so it was expected when the lead singer was revealed on list of composers the entry would be in english, and in this style too, happy they won, the right english and not dull overhyped NEEV, whom is a talent but still has much to improve upon Denmark: Fyr og Flamme are also quite current in todays charts over there, so yeah somehow a bigish name, and also fully in danish which is a first in 24 years Russia: Manizha quite a story actually, she retired from music few years ago, but she recently made her comeback (also if it was up to her father she wouldn't have been a singer, since he does not believe muslim women should be singers) song is strong women enpowerment message with nice russian folk music Sweden: Tusse won Idols couple years ago, his song is not entirely BLM related, can of course be used for that, but basically against all form of racism, homophobia, extremism Netherlands: song against slavery in suriname, Jeangu is a surinamese singer, his sranan tongo phrases mean ''you can't break me'' Serbia: Hurricane made up out of Sanja Vucic (whom we know from ESC2016 solo) Ksenija Knezevic (her father is Knez whom was at ESC2015 for Montenegro with ''Adio'' where she was in the backings on stage) Ivana Nikolic (a dancer whom won many european dance competitions) the group was formed at the caribbean island Sint-Maarten, first single was a charity song for the victims of a hurricane there at that time Azerbaijan: full dutch songwriting team for Samira Efendi, a song about the tragic life of dutch erotic worker and spy Mata Hari (also in the song, first we hear azeri in ESC one repeated phrase) all languages we either fully or a bit of this year: Albanian, Azeri, Croatian, Czech, Danish, English, French, German, Hebrew, Italian, Russian, Serbian, Sranan Tongo, Spanish, Ukrainian also quite a nice genre diversity either for this year

Georgia, well what can i say, Tornike is a bit their own Leonard Cohen, the entry ''You'' is really not what you expect to hear at ESC
its good but its so alternative, that somehow does make it quite nice

but no i am overall excited about it all this year, also i think a virtual eurovillage would be better, wouldn't mind lack of audience either since as long as we can get artists there they can cheer for each other and that would also feel quite nice i think virtually we can have ''acoustic performances from their rooms'' instead of euroclub the last resort ''live on tape'' is kinda dull, not horrendous or a disaster but it lacks the live performance feeling how it felt for me at JESC last year and these next few months we got theme music and postcard music to look forward to either

we got some news from EBU regarding Belarus, they were granted a deadline extension to finish off the new entry before end of this month (since all countries have that deadline for their final performance videos done in time and sent over to EBU for eventual last resort live on tape performance if necessary but they are not hoping to use them anyway, since main focus is on scenario B with all artists live from ahoy)

my review on line up (so far)
Albania: outdated snooze Australia: authentic, well produced, could be another top 10 finish for the almighty aussies Austria: decent ballad Azerbaijan: very catchy, boppy tribute to a amazing historical icon Mata Hari, Efendi is a lovely girl too (fun fact she has had military training herself) also the composer team is 90% dutch, and one part swedish Belgium: Geike's voice is so damn sexy, far better and more hooverphonic's style than last year Bulgaria: wonderful composition, very international sound thankfully rather than outdated bulgarian chalga Croatia: far better than last years outdated snooze by flopzo, very modern banger Cyprus: when Gaga meets Zara Larsson, good bop nevertheless, and i'm not bothered about the devil reference either Czech Republic: very solid dance-pop song, also a upgrade from Benny compared to last year, love the subtle hint of czech in there too Denmark: very feel good danish italodisco 80's banger, even though you don't understand it, it makes you feel happy Estonia: radio friendly pop song ala Russia back in 2016 or Austria in 2018, also a upgrade from Uku compared to last year Finland: for anyone who is a linkin park fan, you'll adore this most definitely France: classic french chanson, in style of Edith Piaf could really do well i think, a contender to win maybe Georgia: for any Leonard Cohen fans out there, this is your cup of tea, very intimate, emotional, very not typical eurovisionish song, this might stand out bc it is so alternative Germany: feel good pop song, Jendrik has a very fun personality either, reminds you of electro velvet meets alf poier, meets stefan raab/dadi freyr, also nice little return of german language even if just two phrases Greece: 80's pop banger, for dua lipa fans a real treat, Stefania is also a very nice bubbly sweet girl Iceland: for me personally a upgrade from last year, or i'm more used to Dadi's quirky voice now with that think about things overload we had last year, very nice first slow intro into quirky disco song Ireland: very folkish feel good pop song, good that RTE gave Lesley this second chance after last years ''katy perry sound'' disaster, but i want this to do well honestly Israel: it feels very israeli in instrumentals which is good, almost like a israeli dua lipa sound, few hebrew parts (curious about the revamp though) Italy: good italian rock song, also fun fact the one girl in the band is half danish too Latvia: for the LGBTQ+ and drag race fans out there, this is a true serve, Samanta is the diva queen of Sassiness Lithuania: very original, very boppy, catchy song, feel good choreography as well, could be a contender again Malta: bit of 1920's style in music video, very sassy diva pop song, also reminds you of electro velvet Moldova: bit of musical theatre burlesque vibe you get, a typical Kirkorov signature Netherlands: authentic, inventive, clever usage of sranan tongo language North Macedonia: beautiful tribute to musical theatre, also beginning bit reminds me of Pure Imagination Norway: showstopper, piece of theatrical art of angels and demons Poland: lots of alcazar vibes, very polish accent in his voice, could be a nice result if staged/performed well Portugal: unique vocal skill, also a first for them in english, very gabrielle/macy gray/james morrison lounge style Romania: billie eilish vibes all over, very nice showcase to see she is very talented, also quite charismatic at least for me Russia: mix of modern pop and russian folk, strong women enpowerment song San Marino: fuego vibe done Senhit's way, adrenalina is in italian language btw, for international streaming success well i think it might be huge bc of Flo Rida's rap and composer credit Serbia: even though u don't understand it, very feel good and makes you happy, these ladies are so charismatic and sassy at same time, also a nice disco vibe Slovenia: her voice reminds you of anastacia, song bit similar to conchita rise like a phoenix (same composer charlie mason) Spain: very lovely spanish ballad, Blas is a good performer too, if staged well could be nice Switzerland: Gjon is talented, this song has some of ''Arcade'' team behind it, modern french chanson Ukraine: ukrainian folk, it is very authentic, one of a kind probably too, this band well they are so so talented, i saw them in home concerts last year, they are amazing live performers too, don't underestimate it my advice United Kingdom: very catchy, fresh and new, modern fun bop, James is a great singer-songwriter, lovely person too, read good things about him from our Armin van Buuren what he said after working with him on ''Therapy'' and ''Slow Lane'' could be a very great result for UK i think will update this post later on when we will get Belarus |

Organisers: live audience still an option, but current situation in netherlands makes it look more unlikely update: our health minister Hugo de Jonge in press conference last night, if we all work together now in staying home, and speeding our vaccination rollout there might be more possible in May and in summer |

Australia's postcard (with artist virtually through hologram) will be at Sparta Rotterdam stadium, since their artist Montaigne is a fan of football
