#Naknast #wins #Malmö #years #Eurovision
1. When Croatia released its entry, which was compared to Käärijä’s entry last year, it quickly ascended as the favorite to win. To soon see itself passed by Switzerland, and at the time of writing it appears to be between Croatia and Switzerland. People like to highlight countries that haven’t won in a long time, both Sweden and Ukraine are in the mix. But don’t count out Italy’s likely jury favorite, or Dutch krumelur Joost in a cornflower blue suit with HUGE shoulder pads, who is also friends with Käärijä.
2. The humor contributions are numerous this year – Finland, the Netherlands, Estonia, San Marino and to some extent also Croatia. Perhaps there is a pent-up need for flames in our darkening world? In several contributions, a mask is worn over the face – Portugal, Lithuania, Poland, the Czech Republic, Croatia. Another trend is nudity. It’s Czech tit shock in the form of skin-colored bare-chest illusion, Spanish ham temptation with bare tail halves, Slovenian snake pit in Adam’s costume and Malta glittering in bare brass. Nearest wins?
3. But it’s not the soft-porous stuff that makes Europe choke, it’s Finland’s hairy man thighs that have caused the most uproar. At such disgusting naturalism, the limit seems to be reached for some fans in the rather toxic Eurovision groups that are found on the net. Humor is culturally bound, and Finland’s snarky contribution hardly goes home in every corner of Europe. But are the detractors just loud or are they also many? In the semi-finals, in any case, the audience has all the power. Finland’s final chances? Well, maybe 50/60.
