I watch Eurovision for the laughs, and because I enjoy it as an anachronism that flies in the face of the internet's frictionless free market optimisation. But lately the acts have started all singing in English, and generally getting a bit X Factor-ish, so maybe its time is sadly drawing to a close.
The winners in 2021 sang Italian metal, the winners in 2022 sang Ukranian rap and folk music. I unfortunately think it's inevitable to get more bland and optimized contributions, but the last winners have shown that the audience likes novelty.
