Just like with the semi-finals, this is the live thread for the Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2024.
As there is (to my knowledge), no Lemmy equivalent to https://reddit-stream.com/, the best alternative is refreshing the website about once after each song. This should still be okay for now as this community is relatively small.

My tier list:

Top

  • Ireland. Bambie Thug is a legit talent beyond this competition. I look forward to what they do after this.
  • Spain. A classic. Top five, possible winner.
  • Switzerland. Fun mix of genres, great performance.
  • United Kingdom. The song grew on me, and the staging is still amazing.
  • Croatia. Energetic, though there are a couple better performances in this competition.
  • Greece. Sounds like Mediterranean reggaeton in the best way. Is it my imagination, or was the camera work better during the semis?
  • Netherlands. It wasn't the very best, but it was a first-tier Eurovision song.
  • Estonia. Lots of fun.
  • Norway. Great song, great staging.
  • Armenia. Fun song, energetic performance.

Mid

  • Lithuania. Upper mid tier. Decent dance song, great performance. I like the outfits too.
  • Luxembourg. Upper mid tier. Solid song, decent staging
  • Sweden. I like it better the second time around, at the top of the mid tier.
  • Finland. They're trying something fun, at least
  • Ukraine. Another song that grew on me, but still mid-tier.
  • Serbia. A very good, though not outstanding, song.
  • Italy. Nice beat, awesome graphics, bland song and dancing.

Lowest

  • Austria. Nice boots she's wearing though.
  • Portugal. Nice masks on the dancers though
  • Cyprus. Unimaginative.
  • Slovenia. Ok song, but there's a lot of competition.
  • Israel. Everything else aside, it isn't that great of a performance.
  • Germany. ISAAK is giving it 100% but it isn't that great a song, and the staging is bland.
  • Georgia. This is fine.
  • France. He has a great voice, though.

I'm slightly offended (and very amused) that your bottom tier is called Germany.
I mean it's true, but don't kick us when we're down

Edit: Please change it back! It was the perfect Freudian typo

Oops formatting error. (I can't change it back, bc I'm part German descent, and those ancestors are already very disappointed in me, I'm sure.)

I think the barrel on fire is a homage on the Frankfurther Hauptbahnhof

Ahahaha

I'll just use your comment to post my favourites as well:

  1. Ukraine
  2. Armenia
  3. Italy
  4. Georgia
  5. Luxembourg

Lets see if any of them has a chance to win. (And luckily I'm German, so I don't need a rank for Isaak, but hostely it's not a bad song.)

Can't fault that top tier list. Lots of bangers.

I hope Armenia do well, feel like Croatia has it sewn up though.

Thought the Irish one was incredible but conscious of bias.

We seem to have quite the same taste, how do you feel about Estonia, Switzerland, or Slovenia?

[–] Rolando@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Estonia and Switzerland are great!
