@Sims2aholic8: New enough and long enough. Hook source is in article, interesting, and checks out. I am worried about close paraphrasing to this passage from the BBC: Panellists were asked to choose songs based on the following criteria; 'Eurovision songs that you believe are modern day classics or songs that have stood the test of time. Please consider the overall package, ie the live performance, the staging, and the song.' Panellists were excluded from choosing songs they had prior involvement with, as artist, writer, publicist, or vocal coach.
If that's tweaked, this will passs. Raymie (t • c) 03:31, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Raymie: Thanks, I've now rephrased the paragraph in question into my own words so as to diverge further from the source material. Sims2aholic8 (talk) 09:28, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
