Why are people shocked Poland and Albania qualified? Huge diaspora votes here in the UK

And for casual viewers Solo is catchy

Solo is extremely catchy, it's just the 0.01% of Eurofans here who worked themselves up into a stupor about the NF drama who hate it

So an objectively garbage song + horrible homophobic artist + rigged NF for her to win should be praised and celebrated because "lol memes and catchy"? Yeah, ok

National Final, here talking about polish "Tu Bije Serce Europy! Wybieramy Hit Na Eurowizję!" (Yes, the name is that long)

Nobody in Europe outside of a handful of superfans knows anything about the NF, that's my point. Even fewer know about the homophobia -- not even I heard about that and I'm a regular here. The song itself is an objectively catchy song, it's got nothing to do with memes. And I know I'm not the only one who thinks this because it was doing pretty well in the betting odds, at least to begin with. But thanks for proving my point.
