I much prefer Iceland’s recent Eurovision entries like

Ukraine winning this year's Eurovision is a foregone conclusion even BEFORE the show start though. How can it not be. And with Turin stopping a few voting anormally/rigging (Estonia, Georgia, and some other countries iirc) by Russian hacking group only ensured a Ukraine win.

With that, Norway and a few entries might've though "F*ck that, let's have some FUN! If we can't win ESC this year, we might go for the win on the viral/meme award instead."

No doubt the votes are made politically (I mean, how can it not be? Albeit well deserved.) in support of Ukraine, regardless of the performance's own merit. However, Stefania is a great selection for the country. It's relatable on a human level as well as timely amid of the invasion. I hope Kalush Orchestra won't self-doubt the win as a sympathy vote.

I'm more concern about the outcome's consequence though... so EuroVision will held in Ukraine next year. And Zelensky mentioned that he hope it can be held in Mariupol? The logistic & security must be a major headache if the war drags on. Something need to "happen" to Putin pronto.

This is the performance at the venue:

Seems they won Eurovision with this song. This was not the final performance but earlier in the contest from what i could gather.

Watch the movie. It is an original song that was written for the Eurovision movie. You can see Dadi die a little bit at the end of the video, bless him for living the meme. Ja ja ding dong! Also stuck on repeat.

Wait - is that a real song?

I thought it was make-believe for that Will Ferrell Eurovision movie on Netflix.

The live version (Icelandic) for Eurovision is quite good also..

I genuinely can't overstate the effect that this single performance had on Ireland as a country.

I saw this on VHS the afternoon following broadcast, pre-internet, pre-twitter, the grape vine was aflame with this being a must-see event. Of course I considered myself far too cool to have seen it broadcast during the Eurovision, but curiosity got the better of me. I finally agreed to watch it as my father was raving about it and wanted to show it to me on tape.

Hear that roar of approval at the end? That's the sound of Ireland, as a nation, spurred on by it's World Cup success, it's newly booming economy, the success of The Commitments, and the global stardom of U2, finally letting go of the collective cultural shame it felt for it's diddle-eye bullshit past, reinventing itself and saying "You know what, we *are* fucking great, and our culture is something to be proud of".

I think nationalism and patriotism are bullshit. But here, now, 25 years later, it's genuinely just brought a tear to my eye for what probably will not be the last time.

It's not KennyG it's about the most famous sax solo*. George Michael : Careless whispers. . And yes Sax is a woodwind instrument due to the wooden reed rather than brass mouth piece.

Other conteneers would be , Gerry Rafferty - baker street, Lily was here - Candy Dulfer / Dave Stewart, EPIC SAX GUY SOLO - Moldova -Eurovision Song Contest, or Yacketty sax benny hill!

Ukraine Eurovision: The worst video I will ever submit. Ever has been added as a related post - related requested by oritteropo on that post.

great performance, but I have to ask - how many deaf people are watching a music contest show like Eurovision ?

I heard the winning Eurovision song for the first time right now and immediately thought the same -- how fit for a 70's James Bond theme
