how long has Switzerland waited for this chance to showcase their country and culture

“Made in Switzerland” song. i learnt that Internet and LSD were invented in Switzerland. and the garlic press too. educational song.

lowkey giving me Olympics vibes

i didn’t know that there are many nice Swiss cities [each contestant shot a small video in cities while doing something cultural] [but Zürich is a bit sad cos they literally played with robots at ETH lmao]

… i didn’t know Switzerland has so many of their own traditions (sorry, i grew up beside a tiny country too that’s like the Switzerland of Asia and have some presumptions)

a lot of cheese

this year’s recurring theme seems to be long-haired blonde (there was a year with a few Ariana Grande’s)

great hosts

twitter (X) is really funny:

as usual, jury votes don’t make a lot of musical sense sometimes

audience votes kinda make sense, but not completely

me when Germany got points because we are so used to Germany being the last and getting no points: 2 points now!!! 4 more!! OMG TWELVE FROM UKRAINE! 10 from Serbia!! another TWELVE FROM CZECHIA!

denmark’s 2 points:

UK’s 0 point:

the whole stadium chanting “Austria! Austria!” at the end

ahh and i was really impressed by Austria… what an interesting mix of opera + techno. glückwunsch!
