Mordecai Posted April 20 Posted April 20 I just can't see Croatia winning, it's too inspired by Kaarija and copycats of entries from the year before never replicate the same success Would be here for another Italian victory tbh Only scenario I'd be happy with Croatia winning in is one where Albania qualifies and Spain finishes on the left side of the scoreboard

You are giving bots. Neither the song nor the staging (choreography/costumes etc.) are in any way, shape or form related to Cha Cha Cha. Actually, yes, he is a male performer with an upbeat song. But if that's the criteria, then the Dutch representative has A LOT more to explain than Baby Lasagna. Ffs It is legitimate not to like songs, but to recycle the same lies over and over again is telling something about you as a person more than anything else. 1

Why are you doing the most over a comment it's not that deep Anyway, your take is delusional. They are absolutely related stylistically - they're both electro-rock songs and have a pop breakdown after the second chorus - Rim Tim Tagi Dim's song structure is absolutely reminiscent of Cha Cha Cha. If you can't see that then you're in denial. Now I'm not gonna say he copied Kaarija's outfit cause that's a reach but I won't lie, when I watched Baby Lasagna's performance for the first time and saw the ruffles, I thought of the bolero jacket because of the vibe of the song and how I thought of Kaarija. So when you take it at face value yes, people are naturally going to draw comparisons The staging is different yes and so are the lyrics (haven't bothered to read the meaning of Croatia's but have read it's got a deep meaning so they won't be similar to Cha Cha Cha's party song) so they're not similar in that respect, but that doesn't detract from the points I made. When the GP watches in a few weeks, I guarantee you some of them will make those comparisons 6

Girl... I can agree that Cha Cha Cha and Rim Tim Tagi Dim have similar vibes, but what you said is literally incorrect. First of all, the structure is completely different. Cha Cha Cha literally becomes a different song in the final third of the song, while RTTD has a standard song structure (verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, chorus). They're also different genres, with RTTD leaning more towards rock, while CCC leaned more towards industrial metal. 1

Anthinos Posted April 20 Posted April 20 I have a feeling that France will win. France is massively underestimated by the fans. His performance can definitely win the jury voting and if he manages to get similar points as Marco Mengoni (and in my opinion Mon Amour is the better song), then he is definitely in the running for the win. I would wish it to Croatia, but I think that in the end it will only be enough for the top 5. I don't see Switzerland winning. Spain must do well. Yes, she's not the best singer. Yes, the performance is controversial. But Zorra is such a good song. It would break my heart. 1 1 1
Funhouse Posted April 20 Posted April 20 I genuinely don't get why people (specifically Baby Lasagna and Joost Klein fans) get so mad over Käärijä comparisons. Eurovision fans LOVE to compare random songs to other random songs! I've seen FAR more bizarre comparisons between unrelated songs! It's truly just part of the Eurovision experience

Fevesy Posted April 20 Posted April 20 When I heard RTTD I did immediately think of CCC but it was purely because of literally the repeating the song titles in the chorus, other than that they're fairly different. Europapa to me is like Joost's normal discography put through a filter to be suitable to be performed at Eurovision with some influence by CCC, especially since Joost met with Kaarija to play the song for him before the announcement. Even though RTTD isn't my actual favourite, it's truthfully the only song this year I heard and immediately thought "oh this is winning" That's just my opinion of course but I think about the first impressions the GP/Jury will have and that's a point in Croatia's favour since a song like Switzerland is a lot more "wtf" in terms of structure. France to me is the jury winner and they will eat up the mic thing, probably the GP will too 2
Funhouse Posted April 20 Posted April 20 I kind of get the feeing the Netherlands is beating Croatia in the televote, Croatia is beating the Netherlands in the jury vote, and neither is winning overall. Europapa is bigger than RTTD outside of the Eurovision bubble and will be more impactful live, which will be good for its televote score. RTTD is a lot less polarising than Europapa, which will help its jury score. Ultimately I could see a big jury favourite with decent televote support (i.e. France or Switzerland) slipping in front of both of them. 1

However, the French singer has kind of exhausted his voice with singing the song so much. If he keeps up like this, he won't have any voice left to sing in the Final.

If nothing, he's perfecting his technique. 1
shark_heather Posted April 20 Posted April 20 The fact that im still 100% sure that Italy or Greece will win this year .... 1 2
Funhouse Posted April 20 Posted April 20 Also, a big 5 country winning with a jury bait song that is not particularly popular with the fanbase is exactly what the EBU deserves for making the semi-finals televote only

It's the only one I can see attracting both televote and jury, ala Voilà, but this year we have a lot of televote-baits that will cancel each other out so I think Slimane could easily pull it off. As much as I love La Noia, I think Mon Amour just hits harder on a first impression. 1 2
Dante Posted April 20 Posted April 20 RTTD is getting #1 Televote and decent Jury votes. Europapa is bombing Jury and getting #2 or #3 Televote. Switzerland slaying Jury and decent Televote. Italy slaying Jury and underwhelming Televotes. France slaying Jury and BOMBING Televote. Greece bombing both. 1 2 2

illia Posted April 21 Posted April 21 Aparently the Ukrainian MV director Tanu Muino is working on Teresa & Maria's staging (She worked on Lil Nas X's Montero, Normani's Wild Side, Cardi B's Bongos and Up, Dua Lipa's Illusion, Harry Styles etc) The perfomance is rumored to be very "Girl Power" 1
