Pfft, no big deal—I watched it too. Many people, myself included, see this contest as a kind of sports event, just with music. The most interesting part is watching the voting numbers roll in from each country.

Yeah, I'm not throwing any shade at people here, it's just that with my blood being Jewish-Italian (suspected in the former case, definite in the latter), my life is 50 % kitsch and 50 % histrionics and even then I find it all to be way too tacky.

I suppose there's also the instinctive knee-jerk reaction, because for my post-Commie soul this is way too much a reminder of the Ein Kessel Buntes Commie-era variety show that to me (and a lot of people I know) are to this day the absolute epitome of cringe.
But then again, the most popular singer in our country was Karel Gott, who was an archetypal example of an artist existing exactly for that purpose, so I realise I'm in the minority here.

I think my mindset is—yeah, I know it’s all very un-metal, kitschy, maybe even fake—but at the same time, it’s like: let’s play that anticipation game one more time. Maybe we’ll win :) It’s also a unifying event for all of Europe, happening live on TV. It’s not like I’m fully glued to the whole show; more like it’s playing in the background, and I crank up the volume when something actually catches my ear. And like I said, the fun part is seeing how people from other countries respond to your country’s song. Then come the resentment and bashing when 'they just don’t get it'—ha! But hey, it’s just a game, and I’m fully aware of that. No strings attached.
 
Yeah, it's more about it being a big event to gather around with friends and family. You have your home team, you have your favourites, and you talk about how bad these songs are. And unlike most sports events music is actually something we all at least like. We watched the freaking skateboarding competition in the Olympics, we aren't gonna watch the Eurovision? It's worth the cringe and the ear bleed. Also, the commentators here are hilarious.

Slam On Down, indeed!
The "narrative" etc. as I'm sure you know is exactly the same as in most of their other ballads.

After some really serious consideration, meditation, and conceptualisation, I came to the conclusion that this whole "left" vs. "right" thing is a bit too two-dimensional for me.
From now on, I intend to embrace the third dimension and operate within a "down there" vs. "up theirs" paradigm.
 
Damn, just noticed the laughing emoji’s head tilts to the left. That’s it—the final nail in the coffin. This site’s a bloody nest of lefties.

Below the most important milestones of I'm in an airport evolution.

02 July 2018.
The progenitor of "I'm at an airport".


02 November 2018.
Next milestone in the evolution. Not a surprise, Dr. EW was one of the first to realise the importance of the phrase and to early adopt.


21 December 2018.
Almost there.

First time ever it was mentioned kind of correctly, though some scholars debate that he meant the airport.


31 May 2019.
And here, ladies and gentlemen the first proper "I'm in/at an airport" ever, winner is Black Wizard!!

Came across this post about airports and thought that despite travelling 16 hours on Sunday /Monday I have zero jet lag till now. I’m almost certain that my body cleverly holds as I have another long hours flight /week next Sunday and waits until middle of June to surrender :D
 
So far I have "only" accidentally read upon about four five songs in the ongoing tour. Three of the first ones I did to myself because I was curious to see images of the stage hahahahaha
