SUNNY UPDATE DESIGN BECAUSE @pactw HAD A WONDERFUL IDEA
I don’t know too much about “low class” inner city fashion- having grown up in the middle class suburbs but the idea of corner store tiara and chunky, bedazzled everything reminds me soooo much of like- early 2000s kids fashion- specifically JUSTICE.
Like if you were a girlie growing up in 2000-2010s, you wanted Justice.
Having watched more of Sunny- idk I totally see her in that sort of vibe? Like the girl who wants EVERYTHING on her to show she’s a princess, but like, through a very childish lens (obviously)
So she’d have a SHIT ton of necklaces and especially bracelets on- think of those kids who wore like 100 Loom and SILLY BAND (!!!) bracelets or even how people’s arms looked during the Eras Tour except some of hers would be tacky silvery plastic and obnoxiously rhinestoned pink.
She’ll still keep the dress/poofy undershirt combo but I’d like to think it’s a simple sundress that she tied a scarf she liked and thought looked fancy around the waist.
And their shoes are just their favorite rain boots cause idk- I think they’d be like that. (Ok lore wise- I guess there a safer option to wear around the factory then any fancy shoes- but still. The rain shoes fit the vibe)
I also feel like since they wear so many bracelets- making friendships bracelets would be their ThingTM (Do y’all fellow 2000 kids remember how popular making bracelets were??? That and duck tape wallets…) so they would go around making bracelets for everyone. (And Tubbo would sob for hours after getting his)
Overall, I see how much more of a little gremlin kid she is. She’s smol and she’s opinionated and she’s not afraid to hand you money if she thinks you’re too poor to be around her and I love her. Just reminds me of the concept of my childhood- if that even makes sense.

So the melfestization of Eurovision continues huh?
The big 5 + hosting country performing in the semis is a good thing imo. They can only benefit from the exposure and that's always an additional chance to polish the act, catch flow with the audience. It might cause some voting chaos though as they'll be squished between the competing countries. Will the semis be longer now? Will other sections get shortened? So many questions...
Rationally, I can see why the changes in timing of the voting in the grand final are being introduced. Yet, there is an irrational part of me that screamed, the moment I read the news: "How can you open the voting before all the acts are performed (or even before the show starts in case of ROTW)?!?". That's bad experiences from Unser Lied für Liverpool speaking. Somehow the argument that all the acts will have performed in the semis before the gf voting starts doesn't speak to me.
ROTW is easier to swallow as usually only hardcore fans outside of Europe watch, they're actively interested in all the entries and I genuinely see how this would make life easier for some of them by having a wider time window to vote. If you are a fan though, I assume the grand final is the most important part that you won't miss anyways so ehh. Idk if this makes sense after all.
When it comes to the Melfest-like voting from the beginning of the show though? I'm waaay more sceptical. There are many people who only watch the grand final and the fact that they can now vote before watching all the performances doesn't sit right with me. How can you evaluate all the performances if you've only seen part of them? But then maybe people outside of the bubble don't actually work like that and they just vote for what they like in the moment. In that case, I do admit that would probably prevent songs performed earlier from losing some votes courtesy of recency bias.
I do have my reservations but I'm willing to give this system a try. I hope they are not afraid to scrap it if it ends up not working out. There's allegedly another big change coming soon, how terrified should I be of that one? I hope they abandoned the idea of tinkering with the qualifiers announcements for good. Anyways, thanks for coming to my TED Talk

Wrapped 2023 (Aijamisespava Edition!)
Oookay, taking a break from my messenger role in Eurovision Land to bring you something different (buckle up, this is going to get long). Yesterday was Spotify Wrapped, and while I'm off celebrating my favorite songs that made it to that top 100 list, I also become a wild statistician and bring you my stats.
General Stats: Well...I listened for 139,902 minutes (more than my friends and family), my top artist was Taylor Swift with Evanescence, Panic! At The Disco, My Chemical Romance, and Loïc Nottet rounding out my top 5. I'd go into my top 5 songs but.....Loïc Nottet took 3rd and 4th with "Mélodrame" and "Mud Blood" respectively. What about the rest? That's what I'm here for.
Welcome to my Eurovision 2023. Any Eurovision song that makes my Spotify Wrapped is in my Grand Final. So countries can participate as many times as they appear. So here is my list. I'll have their actual placement on my Wrapped in parenthesis.
Latvia 2023: "Aijā" by Sudden Lights (1)
Serbia 2023: "Samo Mi Se Spava" by Luke Black (2)
Türkiye 2010: "We Could Be The Same" by maNga (5)
Switzerland 2021: "Tout l'univers" by Gjon's Tears (7)
Norway 2023: "Queen Of Kings" by Alessandra (9)
Australia 2023: "Promise" by Voyager (12)
Slovenia 2023: "Carpe Diem" by Joker Out (13)
Czechia 2023: "My Sister's Crown" by Vesna (14)
Georgia 2023: "Echo" by Iru (15)
Italy 2023: "Due Vite" by Marco Mengoni (17)
Armenia 2023: "Future Lover" by Brunette (19)
Austria 2023: "Who The Hell Is Edgar?" by Teya + Salena (20)
Lithuania 2023: "Stay" by Monika Linkyte (23)
Finland 2023: "Cha Cha Cha" by Käärijä (26)
France 2023: "Évidemment" by La Zarra (27)
Romania 2023: "D.G.T. (Off And On)" by Theodor Andrei (29)
United Kingdom 2023: "I Wrote A Song" by Mae Muller (31)
Australia 2016: "Sound Of Silence" by Dami Im (48)
Czechia 2022: "Lights Off" by We Are Domi (49)
Switzerland 2020: "Répondez-moi" by Gjon's Tears (52)
Bulgaria 2017: "Beautiful Mess" by Kristian Kostov (53)
Greece 2022: "Die Together" by Amanda Tenfjord (56)
Sweden 2015: "Heroes" by Måns Zelmerlöw (59)
Finland 2014: "Something Better" by Softengine (60)
Belgium 2015: "Rhythm Inside" by Loïc Nottet (61)
Italy 2014: "La Mia Città" by Emma (64)
Austria 2022: "Halo" by LUM!X and PIA MARIA (68)
Russia 2016: "You Are The Only One" by Sergey Lazarev (69)
Belarus: "Forever" by ALEKSEEV (72)
Denmark 2013: "Only Teardrops" by Emmelie de Forest (73)
Ireland 2020: "Story Of My Life" by Lesley Roy (79)
Ireland 2022: "That's Rich" by Brooke (87)
Ukraine 2017: "Time" by O. Torvald (93)
Finland 2022: "Jezebel" by The Rasmus (96)
Cyprus 2021: "El Diablo" by Elena Tsagrinou (97)
Moldova 2010: "Run Away" by Sunstroke Project (100)
Honorable mentions go to "Gladiator" by Jann and "Novi Plan Drugi San" by Filip Baloš for making my Wrapped at 21 and 32, respectively. They may not have made it to the Eurovision stage, but they have a soft spot in my heart. Unfortunately, I did not have any Junior Eurovision songs make it. But if they did, they would be listed.

Back to 2010 and back to another country I wish was still in the contest. I’m still a bit annoyed that this fantastic song didn’t make the final
Fantastic song, with fantastic staging. But alas, here we are. Plus I love the costuming, it makes me think of PlantSims.

Song #47
Tonight I watched Das Deutsche Final for ESC and I was a bit disappointed with the result. I quite liked last years song, I knew Lord of the Lost already from this song. But people might like vocals and appreciate Germany more this year, idk

Okej, så nu för den viktigaste frågan:
Vem var värd att vinna Melodifestivalen 2010?
Var det Anna Bergendal, Eric Saade eller Salem Al Fakir? This is my life, Manboy eller Keep on walking.
