Historically I would say that to be an accurate statement. It used to be a Eurovision-staple.
The latest few years though, I’ve been surprised that literally none of the songs making it to the finals have key-changes like this any more.
When it’s usage is decimated, even in Eurovision-songs, I think that clearly shows the author has a solid point.
- taylorius 4y agoI watch Eurovision for the laughs, and because I enjoy it as an anachronism that flies in the face of the internet's frictionless free market optimisation. But lately the acts have started all singing in English, and generally getting a bit X Factor-ish, so maybe its time is sadly drawing to a close.

- taylorius 4y agoThis is true, and a very good sign I'd say!
