England’s bitter words about Lorraine: ‘overrated’ | Eurovision

On Sunday night, Lorraine claimed victory in the Eurovision Song Contest – and became the first woman to win the contest twice.

– It is very beautiful, a feeling I got in my body is gratitude, I am very grateful to all of you, he said at the press conference after the victory.

But happiness is far from everyone.

If only the audience was allowed to vote, it would have won with the Finnish artist Käärijä and the song “Cha Cha Cha”. Finland fans are furious on social media, saying they were robbed of victory.

But it’s not just Finland that’s bitter. Britain is also grumbling.

The Telegraph’s music critic Neil McCormick writes A chronicle Lorraine’s contribution is a modern and soulful pop song with climax after climax – but not everything is cool.

“Lorraine’s Eurovision win was strangely counterintuitive,” he continues.

The commentator highlights that he is a long-term favorite to win the tournament.

“Loreen’s win makes me wonder why we even had a final,” McCormick writes.

Great Britain came second last

Competing with Great Britain artist May Muller and the song “I Wrote a Song” – the contribution came second to last during the final.

“Britain was looted – and Lorraine’s contribution? Totally exaggerated,” writes columnist Tim Stanley. In the same newspaper And continues:

“Loryn showed a Zen-like calmness that comes from being a professional or a whole cabbage diet.”

TV profiler and former politician Ed Pauls, 52, criticizes Sweden’s success.

– If we’re honest, that Swedish song is really boring and May Muller was really good, she says in a TV feature. British site Metro.

The Swedish winner told Expressen Nöje after the win about the Finnish contribution that received the majority of audience votes.

– I don’t think much about it. I am grateful to be here and that Sweden won, he said.
