Was a weak field desu
Aussies couldve won, but im glad Russia didn't, that song was so shitty and desperate and contrived and that's the one that plebs think is 'the real winner'
Muh fancy stage
This fatso will represent sweden
Is there a reason the songs in this contest are always shit? ABBA are the only really good songwriters that came from eurovision. Do they have to be average to not piss off the other countries?
