Whaddaya know, the last ESC post was three years ago!
This year it's in Israel and it was a controversial decision to host ESC there but Israel won last year so the producers only have the jury and themselves to blame. There is a reason why my passport doesn't allow travel to Israel. And that reason is good ole religious conflict! Setting the religious controversy aside, this year is a whole mess from Madonna as guest performer and Iceland's bold move... there's a lot to unpack.
The first semi finals was on FIYAH! The percentage of unique performances and non-English non-ballad songs peaked in SM1! You won't believe some of these performances, ESPECIALLY AUSTRALIA.
