My personal favorite was France. Didn’t understand a word of it, not even the title word Voila which is borrowed into English!
Yes, it’s even got me wondering if I properly understand the nuance of the word voila, because the singer puts so many different strains and emotions into repeating that one word. Gorgeous!
Yes Britain came last without any points at all, but I don’t think that was all brexit politics, I think it was a weak showing that underwhelmed. If you compare how involved other countries populations are in picking their entry, you can see how uninvolved and uncompetitive the UK is.
What is interesting this time is how many non-English entries there were, and how much better they did. This is a gradual change for the better.

- kreetx 5y agoRegarding UK, don't think it had much to do with Brexit at all, the song was just plain bad. I wonder however how did it win within the UK to be sent out at all.
