Olly Alexander wrote a song. But Joost wrote a Eurovision song.
Back in December, the United Kingdom’s Olly Alexander was hailed as one of the biggest stars ever to come to Eurovision. He seemed like the end goal of the EBU’s uphill battle to make Eurovision a place where a-listers could bring their a-game. Across the Channel, the Netherlands’ Joost Klein had a reputation as a funny, emo rapper that festival kids adored, but it wasn’t clear he was capable of mainstream success. Their songs went live within 24 hours of each other... and that’s when this story threw us a dizzying twist.
This is our last review of 2024. But if we didn’t cover your favorite song, please understand it is only because we hate it and think it’s stupid.

Overthinking It subjects the popular culture to a level of scrutiny it probably doesn’t deserve.
