I am a dung beetle.... constantly pushing shit around

Achille Lauro has gone to San Remo in his native Italy, and failing to win there in 2019, 2020, and this year, he went to the tiny micro-nation of San Marino to see if he could go to Eurovision through them and succeeded. We Are Domi Could have competed in Czech Republic, where Dominika Hašková, in Norway where the rest of the band is from, or in the UK where they met. In the Czech Rebublic they smashed it with the international televote and the international Jury which is a weird voting system and we will see if it works 

Achille Lauro is badged as a rap/hip hop star but he doesn't like to be put in that box. This song is definitely more rock with a Joan Jett sound and a Depeche Mode reference. It is even more retro that the late 90s electronica sound of We Are Domi. Though Rock has had more recent success at Eurovision, Electronica might come up one day. 

In the end though we judge by what we are given. Achille Lauro has given us his live performance, which is good but not perfect. We Are Domi have given us a fantastic video clip which tells a story and draws you into the song. If it was judge by the presentation clips, We Are Domi are easy winners, despite the bookmakers and more with OGAE

This round goes to We Are Domi
 

Hungary is rather uninspiring,especially compared with Joci's previous entry in Eurovision which was at least interesting which was like gypsy rap. In 2017 Hungary went into the Semi paying $121 for the win and $26 to take the semi and in the end finished 8th. This year Joci is $251 to win. That implies the belief is even if this song qualifies, it will not win, it will not even make a challenge. 

I saw the name Lake Malawi and I didn't think I would like the song, but it is now one of my faves. The Bookies may not like it much but I am going Czech Republic
