    This is not “cringe.” Most of these songs were intentionally silly. True “cringe” would be songs that were really bad while honestly trying to be good, like UK 2023 or Ireland 2021. That’s cringe.

    • @esc-ape
      @esc-ape  Před 4 měsíci +22

      I get what you mean! But "cringe" isn't an objectively measurable thing, it's just a feeling a person gets. These are the songs that made us cringe the most. The way I personally see it is, when someone is earnestly trying to make good music, it's never cringey to me. Even if they fail miserably, it's more like "aww too bad, don't stop trying" than "please stop i can't take this". I don't know about you, but nothing makes me cringe harder than when someone is trying desperately to be funny and fails. There's a reason why Verka Serduchka isn't on this list, but the salad boys are. Verka is fun, the salad boys are a group of guys from your local business school on their way to media studies party, thinking that if they wear 70€ suits from Opposuits and pretend to be vegetarians, they're gonna get laid. It feels disingenuous and gross and that's what made us cringe. But, again, there's no right or wrong when it comes to what makes a person cringe and I totally get your point of view!

    Due to injokes in my friend group, we have memed the hell out of some songs
    "Popular" rhyms impossible with possible, and at the end he gets put in a cage of glass and breaks it a second later
    "Get You" (ooooh I'm gonna get you) kinda sounds like a threat, so now everytime we sing it we have to make finger guns
    "Lock Me In" one of my friends really hates the song, so we have pretty much rickrolled him with the song
    "Foi Magia" when we got to 2004 my friend said that the song was foigetable, so I spammed Foi Magia in the group chat until it was all you could see
    "Don't Break My Heart" the chorus is sung so often that we just made our own versions (17 so far) relating to the most random things
    "Hello From Mars" 'CAUSE THIS IS GONNA BE (this gonna be) THE DAY THAT WE WILL SEE (day we will see) WHEN HEAVEN COMES SO DOWN TO EARTH, TO SAY HELLO FROM MARS!

      Personally, bad rapping makes me cringe and really bad rapping makes me cringe hard. It's a fundamentally lyrical thing, so when the rapper doesn't have a strong grasp of the language they're rapping in, it's really terrible. Eurovision is a multilingual event, so if someone isn't a really strong lyricist in English, they should maybe opt for rapping in their mother tongue, like Kalush. But hey, if you don't mind the rapping there, that's great! Hopefully me cringing at it doesn't lessen your enjoyment of the song 😊

    The only cringe thing is the list itself

    Don't hate me but Finland 2015 was a cringe - i give them 100 % for trying though.

    There's nothing more cringe than Ukraine's 2022 (they should thank Putin for the undeserved mercy votes) and Finland 2023 (thanks Lord Looren slayed that joke).

      Sounds like you're not commenting on the performances so much, but rather the results of the popular vote. We're Finns, so we have a soft spot for Käärijä, but I can see how someone might cringe at that performance. Kalush Orchestra, on the other hand, while they definitely got a big boost from the international community showing their support for Ukraine, was just a good song with a good show and would have landed them near the top in any political climate. But that's just my opinion.

    The Netherlands 2006, 2012 and for sure 2009 could have been on the list.
