She deserves this so much! Amazing artist and seems like such a lovely and thoughtful person from her interviews. Starting a new profile image era to manifest her hopefully returning to UMK soon and grabbing the win ๐

The ESC community there were a huge part of the journey. A shame the website is no longer so safe for us. As needed more than ever, Happy trans day of visibility ๐

I have to think the Moldovan delegation must be kicking themselves withdrawing this year of all years. Semafoare would have walked into the final
07.03.2025 21:30 โ ๐ 5 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Austria, Germany and Switzerland bringing songs with very different vibes but each of the three are set to slay in my rankings. First DACH joint slay since 2018 for me, here's hoping Nemo's win has inspired the region to a new slay era ๐
06.03.2025 02:12 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0My 2ยข on the Kant affair - words only have the power that we give them. So many women and queer folk are reclaiming the word cunt as something positive, like in the context of the song here. To say it's never appropriate and always a slur gets in the way of that reclaiming effort.

For years, I've kept track of my most played track over the past 365 days and today it's changed to none other than Zjerm ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ฑ ๐ Made of by Goldielocks is hot on its heels though so I'm curious to see how long the reign will be!
19.02.2025 21:31 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Disappointed that it was close but no cigar for Lusterka - such a distinctive vibe musically, and bringing a regional language from Poland for the first time ever would have been incredible. Would have been my fav Polish entry since, ironically, Sama. But Gaja is still high this year for me
15.02.2025 09:58 โ ๐ 8 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I've at least liked, mostly loved, almost all Italian entries since they returned and nonetheless Quando sarai piccola would contend for being my favourite of the whole bunch.

my top 12... so far not a vintage year for me, I adore Zjerm, really like Asteromata and enjoy a few others but I really hope the next week will add at least another song I love. After the last two nights, it's mourning Made of, Sadzejot, Heaven Sent, Fire/Powerplay and Sil' hours at Aviera HQ!
09.02.2025 14:22 โ ๐ 4 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0hey folks, it's been a while since my last cover - I thought, with UMK just around the corner, I would do a wee acoustic rendition of my huge fave from it. Made of by Goldielocks - one of my most streamed songs by far this year, really hope she wins ๐

The songs voted top 3 of my most recent nf! 3 diff styles and inspos: idolising a place only to get a bad welcome, about seasonal depression and trying to be optimistic for the summer, and about wanting to be able to be yourself with your family w/o losing them๐
