    The only recent winner I can't stand is Netta - Toy tbh.

    One I thought would have been a brilliant winner...the common linnets - calm after the storm.
    I would take that any day over Conchita

    When you think of it, there is really only two acts that made it to global superstar status in 65 years!

    ABBA & Linda Martin?

    The cover version was good so the song itself was OK.

    Is the blonde lady American too or is it a really soft Dutch accent?

    Really like the studio version of French song... the live song too much of an overwrought torch song vibe?

    The French entry wrote the winning song for last year's Junior Eurovision winner

    I know why the portuguese guy Salvatore will NEVER be seen again on these things - he despises the absolute shyte mostly churned out, it was his worst nightmare to hand the trophy to bloody Netta from israel in 2019 :D

    Lena though? Had she a bit of controversy in the past few years?

    I usually think the best song wins on the night, but Netta just baffled me.

    The Common Linnets definitely one of the best songs never to win. Rise Like a Phoenix was well deserving too though

    The UK song is very radio friendly but a bit bland.
    I actually loved his song last year.
    Better songwriter than singer
