It's Layne!

So all the songs are released. Now I have to sort them out and have my pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-
pre- rankings. #eurovision

It's a litle ironic when watching some of these "vocal coaches" review singers and then you hear them actually sing and you think "hmmm, someone should go to a vocal coach." It kind of makes their opinions moot 😆

Da muss ich streng sein
Weil ohne Tanzschein
Lass ich Sie nicht rei"

Menina (Do Alto Da Serra)

It's on Spotify! And because of it, I'm also listening to the original Tonicha version from 1971 Portugal #Eurovision
open.spotify.com/track/1sZbO4...

After the initial listen, I'm not able to discern the differences between the two versions of "Ridnym"? Were there any significant changes? #Eurovision

I'm sorry, but "Ya Ya Ya" and Jonas Lovv is a vibe! I'm a big fan. It's a shame that it's not getting the Lovv it deserves 😁❤️ #Eurovision

Have you noticed that the moment words trend online, half the internet starts using it like a slogan instead of a definition. It's like when someone first learns to say "Fuck".

The Moniker - I Want to Be Chris Isaak @ Melodifestivalen 2012 YouTube video by EuroSchlager Abteilung

#melodifestivalen redux. I really enjoyed The Moniker in 2011 with "Oh My God" and 2022 "I Want To Be Chris Isaak". youtu.be/Js2BaJn-XQQ?...

I think I prefer Felicia's glasses that she wore in the Heat. The ones she wore in the finals were too dark And got a little lost.

NGL. I watched Simon - Ay Paparey Bye on the Tube and live Simon is not what I expected (look/sound) from still-photo Simon. 😆

I really wanted to like JIVA and "Just Go" because I'm all for an emotional ballad, but it just fell short in tugging at my heart and emotions. I don't hate it, since I don't hate any of the songs, but unfortunately, it's going to land somewhere in the bottom ten of my rankings. #Eurovision

"Viva, Moldova" was not my favorite Moldovian entry this year, but that video is an absolute joy and such a banger!" It has risen up a couple of spots in my rankings! #Eurovision #Moldova

What is "I need some?"

"Dancing on the Ice" is growing on me. #Eurovision

What if everyone released their songs on the same day and only assigned them numbers. You don't have access to the Internet, no info on the artist, and you have to rank your Top 10. I'm curious to see how much different results would be without the social noise!

Oh, Poland. To quote Stasiek "This Too Shall Pass". 😆😁😆 #Eurovision
I hope Stasiek tries again next year.

Now that the NF Competitions are over, I have to go through my playlist to see which NF songs stay on the "Play Now" and which ones get archived to my overall "2026" playlist. #Eurovision

Happy Daylight Savings Time Sunday. I guess I jumped one hour closer to my birthday and to retirement? 😁🤣 😁

Oh Mein Got. I've got "Take it in the ass, take it in the ass ga hem" stuck in my head. Great.

Erik Segerstedt is/was my favorite EDM. And shirtless Erik is still my favorite EDM. 🥰🥰🥰

On the bright side, my winner was Edmundo Inacio's cover of their 1971 entry"Menina (do alto da serra)".

As much as I usually enjoy the Portuguese entry, "Rosa", while lovely harmonies, is not giving with me and is currently my last place.

Well "Rosa" was not my favorite, but Portugal made their choice. I'm surprised it won the public vote. I thought it would win the jury vote.

Are there really people who are like. Oh wait, I haven't voted yet. #FestivaldaCancao

Napa! #FestivaldaCancao

This is like waiting for the cake cutting ceremony at a wedding and the house band is playing.
#FestivaldaCancao

Yay! They've released it!
