      That’s not really the point I’m making.

      I’m asking whether the song was best or whether countries were scared to look like they were “non-binary” phobic.

      Edit: you can downvote all you want, I’m just asking a question and downvoting without an answer is in its own way an answer, because apparently no one is brave enough to say, “yes, it was by far the best song” 🤷🏼‍♂️

        Nemo’s vocal range was so impressive that the first time I heard the song I thought they were accompanied by an opera singer- nope, they were the opera.

        Last year a transman participated for Serbia (Luke Black) and I don’t think he got out of the semi-final, if that makes you feel better…

        The popular vote was for Baby Lasagna (Croatia) but I think the jury tends to like solo acts and pop better than bands and metal/heavier rock. It was a big deal when Maneskin won a few years back.

          I have no stake in this, I was just interested, don’t worry about me needing to “feel better”.

          Thank you for your opinion.

        Nah, the truth of the matter is that incorporating an amen break into the song instantly made it the winner. Genius move, really.
