One last review before the show (another coming after it's done). This time it's the automatic finalists of the Eurovision final. Shorter than usual

My national holiday - The Eurovision Song Contest - is almost back again. If you wanna get ready and try to figure out what's going on here, I review the competing entries every year and maybe making some sense in the process. Here are my thoughts on the songs of the first semi-final (yeah, it's not just one show, it's a whole holiday period)

I haven't done #TuneTuesday for a while, so this is a good time to.. ehm.. jump right back in with #JumpToTheBeat, courtesy of @Kitty. This is perhaps a somewhat obvious and basic choice but if it's an excuse to celebrate the Pointer Sisters then why not

1. NONONO - Pumpin Blood
https://song.link/il/i/836920582

#TuneTuesday #BlastFromThePast
Alright, plenty of options here, roughly all of music history. So I'm just gonna narrow it down to my own history with a song that was huge in class parties when I was in elementary school. It lives in that specific era forever, because you don't get a timeless classic when you write a song about Tamagotchi. But for that time it was perfect
Ranking music is nice and all, but sometimes it's good to focus on what's really important: The amount of the musicians' hair. Since the top song of the year according to Billboard is "Lose Control" by the very bearded Teddy Swims, I decided to put him up against other annual chart toppers with whiskers. I'd be grateful if you take a look. If nothing else, you'll learn the names of a couple of facial hairstyles
