Eurovision 2019 my top 41 after show

Hello!!! And welcome to another episode of this ESC top series, and we go to May 14, 16 and 18, when the 64th edition of the contest was held in Tel Aviv after Netta’s victory in Lisbon. Before the live shows I posted a provisional top and many things have changed so I’ll mark them. Sadly we had to say goodbye to Bulgaria and Ukraine because they withdrew, Bulgaria because of financial reasons and Ukraine because of some problems regarding the selection of the artist (MARUV NOOOOOOOO, still hurts). The winner this edition was The Netherlands with Duncan Laurence and the song Arcade, making this the 5th time they won the contest and the first one after 44 years!!! So let’s go in this musical adventure.

1st Place: THE NETHERLANDS/Duncan Laurence-Arcade (Real Placing: 1st-498 points) (Before the show: 1st place)

I think I manage to guess the winners in odd years, and ladies and gentleman, THIS IS SUPERB, the perfect winner for this year, simply staged, beautiful performance, stunning voice and Duncan is such a cute person, and I’m so happy this won this year, and what a win!!!!!

2nd Place: ITALY/Mahmood-Soldi (Real Placing: 2nd-472 points) (Before the show: 4th place)

SOLDI SOLDI *CLAP CLAP*. Simply one of the best songs this year, this has a lot of quality and it would’ve been an amazing winner, the music is so unique and beautiful and also the lyrics are amazing, maybe the performance wasn’t as spectacular as I thought it would be but it works.

3rd Place: SWITZERLAND/Luca Hänni-She got me (Real Placing: 4th-364 points) (Before the show: 2nd place)

AAAAAAAA FINALLY THEY FINISHED TOP 5 AAAAAAAAAA. I’m so glad because this is one of my fave songs this year and it deserved top 3 tbh, also the staging is so amazing, he managed to deliver an amazing performance while dancing and I enjoyed every piece of this performance. GO SWITZERLAND.

4th Place: AZERBAIJAN/Chingiz-Truth (Real Placing: 8th-302 points) (Before the show: 3rd place)

Whoa, this was lifted to the sky with the performance, Chingiz has an amazing voice and the song itself is very good, it’s catchy, enjoyable and it worked so well at the end, a very good result for them after 5 years of not so great results.

5th Place: ALBANIA/Jonida Maliqi-Ktheju tokës (Real Placing: 17th-90 points) (Before the show: 5th place)

I can’t describe how crazy I’m about this song, her voice is something awesome, the music is epic, and this was stunning, the staging was simple yet effective and I can’t believe it finished very low, I hope Albania keeps sending quality entries like this and Mall.

6th Place: ICELAND/Hatari-Hatrið mun sigra (Real Placing: 10th-232 points) (Before the show: 6th place)

The power this song has is amazing, and the performance is so enchanting and mesmerizing, time passes and I enjoy this song more and more, maybe this is what my life needed, this is an epic song and I’ll always remember this, and it’s a good song when you feel angry.

7th Place: SPAIN/Miki-La venda (Real Placing: 22nd-54 points) (Before the show: 11th place)

ARE YOU SERIOUS THIS FINISHED 22ND???? EUROPE PLS, this was the perfect way to close the show and I was expecting this a bit higher, Miki’s voice was way better than in OT and he carried a fiesta on stage, it deserved like 10 more places.

8th Place: MALTA/Michela-Chameleon (Real Placing: 14th-107 points) (Before the show: 8th place)

The best Maltese entry in years and it finished outside the top 10? Maybe she wasn’t very energetic on stage but everything else was so good, her singing improved from the semi and maybe performing first wasn’t the best idea, still a very good song.

9th Place: POLAND/Tulia-Fire of love (Pali się) (Real Placing: 11th SF1-120 points) (Before the show: 7th place)

WHY EUROPE WHYYYYYYYYY, NOOOOOOOO. This was so good and deserved the final, they were amazing, on point and it was a nice performance, this had a lot of energy and it will remain as one of my fave entries in recent years, I never stop listening to this.

10th Place: NORWAY/KEiiNO-Spirit in the sky (Real Placing: 6th-331 points) (Before the show: 9th place)

NORDIC REALNESS SERVED IN THIS SONG, and I’m so glad this did better than people thought, they sing well together and I enjoy the jojk part so much, this is everything I like in a modern schlager ethno Nordic song, and I’m so happy they won the televote <3

11th Place: NORTH MACEDONIA/Tamara Todevska-Proud (Real Placing: 7th-305) (Before the show: 18th place)

CONGRATULATIONS NORTH MACEDONIA!!!!!!! You finally broke the barrier of the 12th place, and with a hell of a song, Tamara is such a wonderful singer and when she got her 12 points she was so surprised, but with this performance you can understand her placing, also I loved the dress (unpopular opinion) A well deserved score and well done finally NM!!!!

12th Place: AUSTRALIA/Kate Miller-Heidke-Zero Gravity (Real Placing: 9th-284 points) (Before the show: 36th place)

Where is my clown wig? Remember when I said I didn’t like this entry, it took me 3 months to like it kskkskks, Kate is such an amazing singer, the staging surprised me so much and it’s beautiful, I really thought she was flying around the world, Australia, I’m so sorry for mistreating you before.

13th Place: RUSSIA/Sergey Lazarev-Scream (Real Placing: 3rd-370 points) (Before the show: 10th place)

Again Sergey Lazarev finished 3rd lsskskks, but seriously his voice is very impressive, the staging was nice, and the song is great also, maybe it needed a bit of an oomph or something like the music video but I enjoy this.

14th Place: SWEDEN/John Lundvik-Too late for love (Real Placing: 5th-334 points) (Before the show: 15th place)

Again Sweden delivers a lot of quality on stage, John is such a good singer, his voice is flawless and I love The Mammas, they sound so great, and the staging is perfect for the song, the song is also very good and catchy, another nice entry.

15th Place: ISRAEL/Kobi Marimi-Home (Real Placing: 23rd-35 points) (Before the show: 28th place)

They revamped the song!!!! AND THEY MADE IT 1000 TIMES BETTER, also Kobi’s voice is so stunning and the staging was beautiful, it moved me so much and I thought this was going to score very well, a pretty performance and I hope I can listen more of Kobi in the future.

16th Place: PORTUGAL/Conan Osiris-Telemóveis (Real Placing: 15th SF1-51 points) (Before the show: 16th place)

Another one of the NQ’s that I’ll never forget, maybe the staging wasn’t the right one but Conan’s voice is amazing and the music is hypnotic, it certainly deserved more love.

17th Place: CZECH REPUBLIC/Lake Malawi-Friend of a friend (Real Placing: 11th-157 points) (Before the show: 23rd place)

AWWWWW YEEEEES THEY DID IT AGAIN, this song it’s so wonderful, it puts me in a great mood and they’re so charismatic, I loved the staging and finally they got their first 12 points ever!!!!

18th Place: SLOVENIA/Zala Kralj & Gašper Šantl-Sebi (Real Placing: 15th-105 points) (Before the show: 17th place)

This song is like a trip to another dimension, so calm, intimate, and everything is good and pleasant, I’m so glad this song did it to the final and the performance was so good, it’s one of those songs that’s perfect for a rainy day.

19th Place: GREECE/Katerine Duska-Better love (Real Placing: 21st-74 points) (Before the show: 14th place)

This song didn’t meet my expectations live, the performance was a bit too much and I was expecting something else, also her vocals were a bit restrained, I’ll stay with the studio version.

20th Place: SERBIA/Nevena Bozović-Kruna (Real Placing: 18th-89 points) (Before the show: 26th place)

STUNNING!!!! Her voice is so good, the staging is beautiful, this is amazing and also she delivers a lot on stage, I missed a good Balkan ballad in the contest, I love the spiral and the smoke with the vents, everything here works perfectly.

21st Place: DENMARK/Leonora-Love is forever (Real Placing: 12th-120 points) (Before the show: 19th place)

Again a very lovely song that I can’t resist to, even if it fell in my top I’ll always like this song, and I was so surprised when this qualified, the performance remained simple and yeah, she sounds great.

22nd Place: SAN MARINO/Serhat-Say na na na (Real Placing: 19th-77 points) (Before the show: 20th place)

San Marino again in the final!!!!! How amazing, and this song will always have a regard for me, even if Serhat wasn’t so good live, this song is catchy, and it makes me happy, i’m so happy for them!!!!

23rd Place: LATVIA/Carousel-That night (Real Placing: 15th-50 points) (Before the show: 22nd place)

Awww this song is lovely, the performance was so intimate and her voice is stunning, also the music is calm and this give me chills, a very guilty pleasure this year.

24th Place: BELGIUM/Eliot-Wake up (Real Placing: 13th SF1-70 points) (Before the show: 21st place)

Another one of the disappointments this year, I was expecting so much more of this one, and the performance was so dull, the outfit, the drums and overall everything was so poor, also he was so nervous, again Belgium, you did it, you crushed my dreams.

25th Place: CYPRUS/Tamta-Replay (Real Placing: 13th-109 points) (Before the show: 12th place)

WHAT’S WITH HER VOCALS AND THIS PERFORMANCE, everything was a big letdown for me and I felt so uncomfortable with her vocals, they weren’t good, at least Eleni slayed her vocals last year but this... is... so disappointing.

26th Place: HUNGARY/Joci Pápai-Az én apám (Real Placing: 12th SF1-97 points) (Before the show: 24th place)

One of the biggest shocks to me is Hungary not qualifying with this beautiful song, the staging was very simple but good and his voice is perfect, so... I’ll never understand why this didn’t qualify.

27th Place: ARMENIA/Srbuk-Walking out (Real Placing: 16th SF2-49 points) (Before the show: 13th place)

What a sad sad performance, this was so empty and she was very nervous, also the running order killed this song, I was expecting so much more and AGAIN THIS IS ARMENIA’S WORST RESULT WHY???

28th Place: ROMANIA/Ester Peony-On a Sunday (Real Placing: 13th SF2-71 points) (Before the show: 27th place)

ARE YOU KIDDING THAT THIS IS ROMANIA’S WORST RESULT???? THIS IS UNFAIR, this song is very very good, and the performance was perfect and flawless, also her voice was on point and... why this didn’t qualify.

29th Place: FRANCE/Bilal Hassani-Roi (Real Placing: 16th-105 points) (Real Placing: 34th place)

A very big leap, even if I don’t dislike the song as much as I did on January, I still think this isn’t special enough, the music is quite generic and Bilal’s vocals are still bad even with the lower key, still the message is very powerful to me and I love the performance.

30th Place: IRELAND/Sarah McTernan-22 (Real Placing: 18th SF2-16 points/last) (Before the show: 29th place)

Oh Ireland, you knew your fate and you tried to save you, but in the end you finished in last place and with a lovely song, pleasant song but sadly this wasn’t going anywhere.

31st Place: BELARUS/ZENA-Like it (Real Placing: 24th-31 points) (Before the show: 25th place)

A very very very suprising qualifier and I was happy, but now I realize I don’t like the live performance and the staging, she sings nice but still everything seems out of place for this song, this was better on studio and in the NF.

32nd Place: MOLDOVA/Anna Odobescu-Stay (Real Placing: 12th SF2-85 points) (Before the show: 31st place)

Whoa Ukraine 2011 2.0 Electric Boogaloo, as I said many times before, I like this song but it’s there, they tried to lift it up and it was a bit ridiculous, also her voice wasn’t on point here.

33rd Place: GEORGIA/Oto Nemsadze-Keep on going (Real Placing: 14th SF1-62 points) (Before the show: 41st place)

This is what I call a revival, the staging was so powerful and his voice here sounds great, even if the song isn’t still my cup of tea, I must admit it has a good message and you can feel it.

34th Place: UNITED KINGDOM/Michael Rice-Bigger than us (Real Placing: 26th-13 points/last) (Before the show: 33rd place)

Poor Michael, another case of a good singer with a mediocre song, and it paid off in the results, another last place for the UK, surely his voice was good but it was so plain... nothing remarkable about it. Never do a two artists-one song NF.

35th Place: CROATIA/Roko-The dream (Real Placing: 14th SF2-64 points) (Before the show: 40th place)

The fact this song rose it’s because the other ones fell a lot. This is way cheesier than a pizza, the angel wings... I thought they would get rid of them, again his voice is good but I can’t stand this song.

36th Place: LITHUANIA/Jurij Veklenko-Run with the lions (Real Placing: 11th SF2-93 points) (Before the show: 32nd place)

Poor Jurij, a victim of the juries mistakes... Anyway this song is pleasant but it’s a bit forgettable, also with the staging I was expecting so much more, his voice is perfect and he’s charming, but he deserved a better song.

37th Place: ESTONIA/Victor Crone-Storm (Real Placing: 20th-76 points) (Before the show: 35th place)

Wow I never thought this would finish so low in my top, my biggest problem here is his voice, in the final he was better but it was a big shock for me when it qualified.

38th Place: MONTENEGRO/D Mol-Heaven (Real Placing: 16th SF1-46 points) (Before the show: 38th place)

HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL ON STAGE, oh wait, uhhhhh... yeah... this song is... here... and yeah, FALLIN. There’s nothing else to say about this.

39th Place: FINLAND/Darude ft. Sebastian Rejman-Look away (Real Placing: 17th SF1-23 points/last) (Before the show: 30th place)

The person that decided the staging needs to be fired, everything was so out of place here, also sadly this became a sad EDM song because of the key, and Sebastian wasn’t very good, also what’s with the boots.

40th Place: AUSTRIA/PÆNDA-Limits (Real Placing: 17th SF2-21 points) (Before the show: 37th place)

The only remarkable thing of this song is the performance, is stunning, but the song is very flat, nothing special tbh. Lovely staging though.

41st Place: GERMANY/S!sters-Sister (Real Placing: 25th-24 points) (Before the shows top: 39th place)

If a song begins with a glockenspiel and the words “I’m tired” you can’t expect so much, the performance was so boring, the song is dull and this is just there, nothing special and Germany, did you miss being bottom 5? You had a lot of better songs in Unser Lied, I’m sorry, sorry for the drama.

instructions: you can tell a lot about a person by the music they listen to. put your music on shuffle and list the first 10 songs then tag 10 people. no skipping

ok so im on my computer and you cant “just shuffle” so im getting a friend to randomly pick a number associated w a song to start it, and then from there i can shuffle and they one AFTER that starts

turns out my friend didnt respond so i used random.org instead

warning: i dont like a lot of these songs some are from primary school some are me finding albums of old songs on the family computer and bc i like a few i copied ALL of them but i dont like them etc....

1. 99 Luftballoons by Nena - this is one of the 200 old songs i added but its not as bad as some. fun fact “luft” means “air” in swedish so its like “99 air balloons” i have no idea why its called luftballoons the lyrics say “99 red balloons go by” (im just gonna be talking as the song plays bc otherwise i may get bored or something idk)

2. LoveWave by Iveta Mukuchyan - this is armenias 2016 entry to eurovision if i remember correctly she had a giant floating head at the start and i remember my friend elly pointing out her tan tights were super obvious and she was wearing a leotard thing. she came 2nd in the first semi final and 7th in the grand final w 249 points

3. Uptown Funk by Mark Ronson - remember this song? yeah. i used to do dance from year 6 until year 8 (i stopped in year 9 bc i was invited to play on a better netball team at the same time) anyway there were dance concerts and after i stopped dance my brother still did breakdancing there and in one of the concerts he danced to this song (i got to watch the concert for the first time ever) and i remember thinking it was one of the best routines bc the boys looked like they were having fun bc the break dance teacher doesnt take it as seriously as the main teacher so it was stressful and had to be “perfect” w the main teacher but it looked fun w the break dancing anyway how long is this song it just keeps on going

4. Beauty Never Lies by Bojana Stameno - omg this song i loved it so much. so this was serbia in eurovision 2015 this song had a beautiful message i loved it so much. she came 9th in the first semi only just making it to the final but in the grand final she came 10th!! w 53 points there was a different voting system back then half as many points were available so you cant compare it to 2016 and song number 2 anyway i loved this song its so upbeat and uplifting like i just... its so good

5. Death Valley by Fall Out Boy - claudio (@thecloudmeister) gave me a bunch of songs in year ten i think??? this was one of them. sorry buddy but all the songs you gave me blur together so i have no idea how often ive actually listened to this. apparently its 7 times according to my itunes. it sounds nice?? idk im not good at commentary when i dont know the song sorry. its not bad dont get me wrong i just dont know it

6. Love U More by Sunscreem - apparently this is from the 90s. its another of those 200 old songs i added but i dont like this one. at all. its boring. tbh i wondered whether i should add commentary at all bc i figured there would be less and less as i went...

7. All Too Well by Taylor Swift - yay a song i actually like. its nice but also sorta slow. (yep, definitely less commentary as i go). school sometimes wants me to record my voice for something like a lecture or a video anyway those all appear in my itunes and i was kinda worried one of them would appear bc they suck i mean they include my voice. also i would be forced to talk about school haha and half the time theyre for english i hate english anyway wow this song is over five minutes??? eurovision songs have to be three or less, theyre over so fast. the songs picking up pace a bit they always seem to start so slow (so much for less commentary as i go i guess i wanted to prove myself wrong also i kinda like the song even tho im not talking about the song). also sorry for the rambly commentary and i understand 100% if you dont read the entire thing

8. Watch Out by ABBA - omg abba you have so many good songs like the entire Gold album and many in the More Gold album and some other ones here and there but this has got to be one of your WORST songs ugh. at least its only 3:48 not 5:48 like that god-awful day before you came song which is so slow and about nothing. ugh. abba has done some good songs dont get me wrong but theres also plenty that arent great sorry. like this one it sucks.

9. Fever by The Black Keys - oooo look we’re nearly done. this song is also from claudio (what are the chances two of the ones you gave me would appear here huh? considering you gave me like 80 songs and ive got like 900 total dont worry im not actually gonna calculate it). again i dont really know this song but i think the other one was better??? idk

10. Haunted by Taylor Swift - ooo two by Taylor Swift. also last song! yay we survived. i think i like this one better its a bit faster? idk (not as much commentary again bc i started tagging people haha but this song is definitely one of the Old Songs from primary school days

ok i think im gonna just tag some people who appeared recently in my activity bc i cant choose so here we go (obviously you dont have to do it but you can) (also skipping over the people who i know have already been tagged): @fluffsharks @a-lostflower-inlove-with-eden @kanavitas @aggressively-gay-shakespeare @antiloquist @sisduke @productiveunicorn @smolcanadia @tacticallycareless @zakounenharma

#bookworm-2692 #ask #kinda?#idk theres a lot more about me than you were probably expecting bc of the added commentary haha
