Is Tommy Cash Going to Eurovision?! Reacting to 'Espresso Macchiato' | Eesti Laul 2025

Watch Andy Warhol eating a burger video to understand Tommy's video 😊

People who know what Tommy is capable of and are disappointed by this song are missing that the disappointment and tackiness are the point - It’s Cash knowing exactly the context and the history in which the song is existing within. Yes, his other music is much better produced, but this song is specifically made for Eurovision, and as such, it is “not good”. It is also simultaneously so bad that it is good. Tommy is more than just a musician, he is a conceptual artist. His participation in Eesti Laul and potential participation in Eurovision , with this song in particular, is meta commentary on the commercialization of European identities. This is why he is parodying Andy Warhol eating a cheeseburger, which is a video about the mundane aspects of consumer culture. It’s purposely bad, camp, and utilizing Italian stereotypes as a reflection of Eurovision and its history of exposing Authenticity vs. Artifice in popular culture through music. He is absolutely making fun of Eurovision with his song in the most spectacular, brilliant, and subtle way. Of course there are better songs in Eesti Laul this year, but there is no better spectacle than Tommy Cash - and Eurovision, in its entirety, is a contest of spectacle. Estonia has the opportunity to make a very stupid but not dumb choice to send him. If selected, the antics he will pull both on and off stage will completely change the way artists approach Eurovision moving forward.

@@kiwivision100 Thank you. I love y’all’s videos and passion for Eurovision. I just thought I’d give my opinion cuz I totally agreed that there are better songs sonically in Eesti Laul this year, but I also think that Estonia can legitimately win Eurovision by selecting Tommy’s purposely “bad” song.
