Review of ESC 2022 - the Grand Final



After two exciting semi-finals, we've got our final line-up all figured out. Getting to this point has been a rollercoaster, truth be told; awkward hosting and jokes that don't land you already know to expect, but shaky camerawork, cheap-looking postcards, CGI taken from an early 00s music video, and a stage built around entirely around a rotating centerpiece that neither moves nor lights up is just unacceptable and a real embarrassment.

And why is the random water element at the front of the stage given so much screentime? I get that it's a reference to Italy's numerous and iconic fountains but seriously, they're turning half the songs into bathroom breaks with the constant cuts to the flowing water.

Well, life is full of interruptions and complications. And at the end of they day, this is a song contest, so let's just focus on the thing that really matters – the music. So which song will be the one snatch the Eurovision trophy? Let's take a look!
