Long rant about Portugal winning cuz I’m salty and can’t sleep
First of all, to all the people who’re gonna say
“You don’t appreciate good music!”
What music I like and what would be considered “good” music is not for you to decide.
or “You’re just jealous that your fave didn’t win!”
You are absolutely right, and here’s why:
The song itself was pretty forgetful and boring to listen to. Literally ASMR material. It was different, yes, but just because something is different, it doesn’t make it exceptionally good.
The singer blantantly disrespected the contest itself and acted as if his music was superior to everybody else’s.
Bulgaria, Hungary, Moldova: “Bitch, hold my fucking poodle.”
Actual quote of him: “Music is not fireworks, music is feeling.”
Music can be anything and that’s the beauty of it. All the other contestants that you bashed in your speech put just as much feeling and effort into their songs, maybe even more than you. Stfu.
Actual arguments by ppl defending the song:
-He sung in Portuguese
-He performed despite having a heart condition
-The audience was quiet during his performance
-He looks cute
Let me take em one by one..
a) There were other songs, who sung in their own language as well, what’s your point
b) Good for him, but that was pretty reckless, considering smthg serious COULD’VE happened
c) They were quiet cuz the dude was whispering and maybe they were even *asked* to be quiet
d) Kristian looked 10x cuter, thank you.
People saying that “A song with meaning won”, did you actually read the lyrics in English? His song was about love, the most generic topic in a boring ass ballad.
You want a song with meaning, that isn’t sung in English and is quite memorable?
FUCKING HUNGARY!!!!!!
Did anybody even bother with Hungary??
Traditional music, traditional dancing, traditional clothing (partially), bilingual singing (none of it in English) AND the song was about the racism that Romas (aka Gypsies) face. PLUS THE SONG WAS ACTUALLY QUITE MEMORABLE AND VERY UNIQUE
People were angry and pissed at Portugal winning, not because they hate Salvador or even the song, but because there were so many others that deserved it much more.
No matter HOW you look at it, this was by no means a “winner” song. It sounds like no-copyright Coffeeshop music. And if the jury and the viewers voted for him because of him behaving in a peculiar way or because of his heart condition, Idk what to say to you. This isn’t the first time this happened, Conchita also won because of her being a drag Queen, however, her song was not that horrible tbh. I’ve already forgotten the rythme of Salvador’s song, that’s how forgettable it is.
And finally @ all the people being salty that Bulgaria didn’t win: I feel your pain.
Compared to Portugal, Bulgaria was heaps better and idc what Salvador thinks about other artists, but you cant tell me that Kristian didn’t put just as much heart and soul into his performance with even better vocals and an actual good song all around. Both songs were about love, so you can’t argue with any difference in lyrical content. He was also very angry at himself and apologized for not being able to make it 1st place. He apologized for being ONLY 2nd, which is very admirable for a 17 year old to even GET this far. You deserve the world, boy. Your song will actually be played on radio stations and may your records be purchased by millions.
I think that’s all I had to say. Eurovision has become a disappointing joke.
