This year for National selections I might be in more of a mindset of:

✅Special song: unique and daring that becomes an earworm

✅Visually and vocally competent performance (Duh 🤗)

And!
✅How does this song and artist celebrate the local music scene.

This year I’m kinda like: well, is it all about the winner?

For the most part I tend to be team: May the best LIVE package win AND the track has to do something unique: sonically. I think that way because I’m analyzing from the perspective of: what will give us to most competitive #Eurovision

I know what “national selections” I’ll be following and creating content for. Last year there were definitely “too many” NS for me to keep up with and I’d say that the winners weren’t all the optimal choices imho.

Dear Casting Folks,

When it comes to dating shows, you HAVE to stop recruiting people. Take the people who are actively looking... These recruits are not working.

Let me just say this…

IF (big hypothetical here) the United States participated in the Eurovision Song Contest, I would be calling for our expulsion given the foolishness of Dump, Congress, and the “court”…

It would be too much of a distraction from the real talent on the stage.

Stephen King talking about violence in America years ago…
Still relevant.

Yeah. and the Dutch broadcaster’s issues with the EBU aren’t solely “political.”

Alesia Michelle @alesiamichelle.com · Sep 11

Sweden won’t.
Iceland has threatened multiple time so idk… but this RTE statement, I don’t see how you walk that back.

They've "threatened" to not participate MULTIPLE times. I said this in my recent stream, but at this point the Icelandic broadcaster is indeed "the boy who cried wolf" (FOR ME).

These folks can SAY a lot of things...
I'm curious to see why they DO.

If someone posts/comments, “I think there’s more to this story.”

What in the no literacy/lack of comprehension makes someone reply, “Well, then explain it.”
