I love the aunt-nephew relationship between Mimicat and Luke. Mimicat and Zarra seem like the coolest aunts. Alessandra is a sister/cousin you can always have fun with and who will protect you at all costs. Bojan and Luke are the male equivalents. Gustaph and the singer from Lord of the Lost (sorry dont know the name) are the dope uncles. On a side note, I really hope to hear some collabs between this year's artists. I always wonder why there are so few seeing how true friendships are usually formed during the show season.

[@bernddasbrot45]

[@andreaslefteri3661]

The languages are really close actually. Kinda like how the slavic languages and the romance languages are similar and everyone can mostly understand each other.

Mimicat being so lovely & getting along with everyone makes my portuguese heart very happy 🥹 i'm very proud of her!!

[@cardanam]

​@@devilgod136 i wouldn't say she ever felt jealous. I have the impression Loreen didn't really mix with the participants as much as the others did. Mimicat even did a cover of her song at first, did you know? Maybe Loreen didn't rise to her expectations 🤷 it is odd that she got along with *everyone else*. Also, they're adults, no one is forced to get along with anyone lol

[@devilgod136]

@@cardanam Loreen is a superstar and her talent is immense. I'm sure many of them felt intimidated around her. You can see that at the end of the clip when one of the girls ( sorry, I don't know who she is) is telling her how fantastic she is.

[@cardanam]

@@devilgod136 maybe the "Eurovision superstar" title actually prevented her from connecting with the other participants and allowed them to have other favorites, have you thought of that? Would you get along with someone who doesn't mix with you and your group in a natural, organic way? 🤷 No one is talking about Loreen's talent, we are talking about social dynamics btw.

[@cardanam]

My guy/gal/non binary pal you are sounding absolutely pretentious 😭 i was trying to explain things from a social dynamic point (new acts, mostly rookies, no former winner, most experiencing Eurovision for the first time, all of this helping form a sense of we're all in this together "vs" a previous winner, someone whose presence is well established, someone who already knows how everything goes) but you are clearly too in love with Loreen to try and see things from my point. And that's fine, agree to disagree. Go stream her song & go to her shows & support her. But careful of the way how you speak to people cause yikes is it obnoxious. Have a good one 😎
