I felt like a lot of songs were worse and wondered if it was the stream since I used a different one this time? I even imagined that there were some mistakes in some songs. Even Croatia and Austria felt better in the semis despite their strong performances.
The only song that came off as better was Ireland lol maybe because it's fueled by anger lmao

This is 100% discussed before they vote I refuse to believe anything else.
It's especially
sus when the contest has a similar song that gets 0 points while the other one gets all of them. If it was natural they would like that too like how metal fans would give at least some of the points to a metal song if an event had two of them.

Preferring specific clothes and having hobbies isn't related. Clothes aren't natural so women aren't programmed to wear pink or something. And liking tech stuff doesn't mean you must be male.

I bet next year there will be an uptick of begendered folx artists. Trannies (not even crossdressers, like Australia), nonbinaries of both sexes, normal looking people with neopronouns. I can feel it, it's going to happen for sure.
I would never want to make it about gender, but both gendies are too high on the scoreboard and it's hilarious the one that's won is a moid nb. There will be more to come, for sure. Not even gays, since that's too boring now.
Imo, they need too:
- Have at least one year without english songs to test it out at least
- Make subtitles! So people could enjoy songs in different languages! They have the technologies for that, they have no right not yet to implement that.
- Stop allowing any flags other that country flags. It was so disrespectful to Switzerland when he waved the nonbinary flag instead of Swiss.
- Forbid ugly moids tbh, make them wear masks or something, no one needs to see your shiny balding head.

I am completely honest here. I would be less mad at the fucking jury if it was at least Bamby winning over Croatia and not Uo UOUOOUO.
Say what you want about her but her screeching gave me goosebumps and the performance itself was worthy of a musical. Plus, the black costume was pretty and the refrain is basically black metal. If it was at least THIS they would have at least chosen something uncommon and new (for ESC standards).
But no.
It had to be another toothless, central European gender slop with male solo singer. ZZzzzzzzzz
No. 380331
>>380319I've been watching ESC every year since 2010, and every year's voting results are a shit show, believe you me. Most of the shit that one was boring af and had either the effect 1. it'll run on the radio constantly and sell well for a year 2. the singer(s) should win cuz pandering (they or their family member has an illness, they wear a beard and a dress at the same time, there's war in their country so let's give them one win, etc.) 3. of corruption (yes I'm looking at you, Azerbaijan).
The problem that's obvious is how easy it is to pool those 12 points as a juror to whatever country you think can shoulder the financial challenge of organizing the show the next year. The 12 points should be nerfed down or even removed completely to offer the chance for the public votes to actually change the jury's well crafted plan.
No. 380338
>>380331I also blame the ability to vote up to 20 times to churn money from the audience because browsing twitter and 4chan you could see that the Israel simps coordinated some mass voting in which they used multiple phone numbers to call 40 times or more.
This is a massive skewing of the election since it's something only fanatics do and most fanatics are POLITICAL fanatics, so the country that gets the 12 points from every country is usually one related to some current political dispute and this sucks.
Italy for example is very anti-Israel and absolutely nobody here liked or even talked about their song or even listens to this type of music and yet they have 12 points? Come the fuck on. Those are votes by a bunch of expats and rightoids that just vote Israel because they associate Israel protests with leftism.
No. 380340
>>380336Yeah but at least her song wasn't about that, from what I can tell it's about betrayal, obsessive love and the performances is an exorcism. Switzerland guy (I don't even remember the name) is also about gender shit but it's even in his very song. And the costume is boring shit just as the song itself.
I am not saying that I wanted her to win, just that I would have preferred her song over the slop that actually won.
No. 380348
>>380346I was honestly surprised that Australia, Czechia and Poland didn't make it. There were a bunch of songs that were so devoid of any energy I have no idea how they got in.
And by now we might as well make Israel one of the automatic finalists like the big 5. The fans of this country will always force it in with mass voting so what's even the point? They might as well send a guy that sleeps or shits on the stage and they would still get 12 points and get into the final.

>>380338You've got a point there too. I voted three times, last year as well. I think public voting should be reduced to a maximum of five votes per device for sure. It would also reduce psyops from happening like the people on X voting en masse for Israel.
But like I said, I'm absolutely convinced nerfing the 12 points would get us a better ESC. Not to mention (and this was apparent from all those old clips of the show) they definitely need to improve the quality of the contestants.
I've always been for the contestants that sing in their national language (so only the UK, Malta and Ireland singing in English), there's enough music elsewhere in English without having to look at ESC, especially with the internet nowadays. If they wanna show the cream of the crop, especially to justify the budget they spend in the show
where thirty to fourty years ago it was a lot more modest, then they have to up the ante for everyone.
Small blogpost but I'm personally sick of the formulaic crap we get from the UK, Germany, Sweden, the goddamn ballads and the navel gazing songs. If that stuff represents "unity in Europe" according to the ESC, then it's absolutely fucking sad.

I think you need some sort of jury either way. A good chunk of people are going to vote for which country they like the most regardless of song so then it just becomes a stale "who's Europe's favourite country contest?". Juries are (supposed) to be objective.

No. 380391
>>380379It's the jury (again). The audience is willing of giving votes to songs with their native languages see the high placement of Moldova's Train to Bucharest or Go_A's Shum. But the jury doesn't vote such songs on principle. If you want jury votes you HAVE to sing English and preferably pop so it's literally damaging the event itself since it kind of forces people to sing in a certain way if they want to have a chance of winning.
Also notice how they almost always select solo singers, never bands, which is another issue.

>>380439This is central trait of fascist mindsets actually. Everything they allegedly believe contradicts itself since it's a mindset purely based on emotion and not rationality.
"The immigrants steal our jobs", but "immigrants never work because they are leeches". The Hitlerists believed that Jews were the most powerful group on the planet that controls everything, but they were allegedly also subhuman and stupid, corrupt and disorganized (so they can wage a war against them and win), women are dumb and powerless but also influence everything and always get what they want etc.
This is why arguing with people like that is nothing but wasted time. On of the ministers of my country claimed that "nobody who isn't pro-Israel should be allowed to immigrate" to my country anymore, but then he turns around and defines our "lead culture" which explicitly includes eating pork and other shit that isn't kosher, otherwise you don't belong here.

“This is Marmite if everyone hated Marmite.” – on Germany’s performance “I Don’t Feel Hate” by Jendrick (2021)
“Less Destiny’s Child. More Destiny’s Inappropriate Aunt.” – on Serbia’s performance by pop trio Hurricane (2021)
“Now it’s time for the flag ceremony. It’s a new tradition. It’s a way of making the show just that little bit longer.” – on the length of the opening ceremony (2018)
“He has come back with a song called ‘That’s How You Write A Song’… Ironically the song is not great.” – on Norway’s performance (2018)
“I liked the bit when she stopped the music.” – on Slovenia’s performance, which faked a technical glitch (2018)
“Thank you very much… I just want the nurse to put me back to bed now after that.” – on Germany’s heavy metal band Lord of the Lost performing (2023)
“If you’re going to get someone to dress as a gorilla, at least get a decent outfit. That looks like couple of old car seats sewn together.” – on Italy’s entry “Occidentali’s Karma” (2017)
“The producers put together the running order, and given that no song given second place has ever won, I’m guessing they didn’t think much of this. Feel sorry for France, the artist is Lisa Angell the song is ‘N’oubliez Pas’ which means don’t forget. Sadly, I fear, we will.” – on France’s performance at the grand final (2015)
“He said he did something terrible as a boy. We don’t know what it was. It might have been write this song.” – on Norway’s entry “A Monster Like Me” (2015)
“OK… That’s three minutes we’ll never get back, but look at it this way: We’ll never have to hear that song again.” – on Albania’s performance of ‘I’m Alive’ (2015)
“Well, that wasn’t embarrassing at all, well done.” – reacting to the surprise rap delivered by the reader of the Finnish results (2014)

“If you’ve just joined us and thought, ‘Ooh, Denise van Outen’s let herself go’, no, that’s Cascada representing Germany” – on Cascada after her performance of “Glorious” (2013)
“If you’re watching with pets or sensitive older people, maybe now’s the time to put them in the utility room.” – commenting before Cezar’s high-pitched, strobe-filled performance of “It’s My Life” for Romania (2013)
“This will put fear into your heart – she’s a devoted experimental jazz musician. She can do extraordinary things with her voice…not pleasant things but extraordinary.” – introducing Albania’s Eurovision entry Rona Nishliu performing “Suus” (2012)
“He looks like a nice boy who’s fallen in with the wrong lot, doesn’t he?” – on Eric Saade’s performance of “Popular” for Sweden (2011)
“They’re drinking quite a lot. It’s almost like they think they’re not going to perform again.” – on the UK’s backing dancers (2010)
“The bad news is, you’re about to watch Albania. She’s only 17, so please bear that in mind. Where was her mother? Why didn’t she step in and say no?” – on Albania’s performance of "Carry Me in Your Dreams" performed by Kejsi Tola (2009)

Q:This is still a historic result. You've written yourself into the history.
BL: Yes, very cool. I'm surprised by how happy I feel. I had thought I would be more sad. Like, we lost, but I'm not sad at all. I'm happy.
Q: We didn't lose. We are second.
BL: Yes, yes. Indeed, you're right.
Q: What was the feeling like on the stage? I don't know if you had seen the footage, but we saw it for the first time, the audience had the bracelets, and when the dance came on, the whole arena was flickering from the dance in unison.
BL: Yes, on the stage it was incredible. I'm super glad, we agreed as a team that we killed it, it simply couldn't have been better, we all did our absolute best work, we didn't miss a thing, everything was on point, and that made it so much better, and you know everything that happened happened because you gave it absolutely all you had. We won't be saying "Oh, maybe if this thing was better…", it was good.
Q: The entire country watched the show, countless cities and squares [public broadcasts]; tomorrow is the welcome ceremony, regardless of the second place, I don't know if you know. A musical program on the [Ban Jelačić] Square.
BL: Yes, of course, I mean, I don't know what the plan is, but I know an event is being prepared, so I'm off to bed right now.
Q: You've united everyone, that's for you the biggest success, right?
BL: Sorry?
Q: You've united the whole Croatia, is that also a big success for you?
BL: [laughing] Yes!
Q: You've managed to chart on many such lists, Rim Tim Tagi Dim is spinning on iTunes, Spotify, everywhere. The best position of all the [Croatian] Eurovision songs, that's what you were hoping for?
BL: [smiling] Yes. Yes.
Q: What's next? What are the first plans after this?
BL: Whole summer will be filled with concerts. I'll tour. Put out an album, film music videos. Continue to do music.
Q: First show is in [your hometown] Umag?
BL: Something else will be announced before then.
Q: But you will perform in your Umag, they have a special place?
BL: Yes.
Q: Any calls [for tours/performances] from other continents?
BL: I don't know, I need to ask my agent, I can't remember anything right now, there were many discussions… I really don't know off the top of my head.
Q: Can you tell us more about the other performance? Can we know about that?
BL: No.
Q: It's a secret?
BL: Not really, it just that the organisers haven't had the chance to announce it, so it's not my place to preempt them.
Q: Do you have any Eurosong idols you'd like to emulate in terms of the wider success?
BL: Måneskin, they've transcended the Eurosong highs, so they did a good job.
Q: What do you think about the Swiss entry?
BL: They had a huge televote support from the public for a reason, as I said previously, their song is absolutely fantastic, I'm not at all surprised they've won.
Q: Who would you dedicate this crazy Eurosong adventure to?
BL: I don't know. I don't even know what that means, no idea.
Q: [all together] Thank you, Marko, all the best.

I liked Armenia, Lithuania, Croatia (I hope sending fun artists to the contest will become a tradition there heh, I liked Let 3 too) the most. There were quite a few good songs/fun performances. Switzerland was surprising because I didn't even remember the song, and it's goddamn annoying how everyone gives the highest rate to one particular country. The song wasn't awful or anything but it definitely wasn't much better than all the other songs. It was weird seeing some countries not getting much or anything at all at the same time, so undeserved.

>>380403>american song contest (usa)>it lasted a weekBurger here. They dragged it out over the course of 2 months iirc. They decided to do it in bracketed rounds and it sucked so hard. It lost all the magic that Eurovision has. The quality of the songs was overall much lower than Eurovision as well, although the winning song was pretty decent. It was some K-pop girlie from Oklahoma, vid related.
It was super disappointing and I wish my country wasn’t so fucking narcissistic. It really could’ve been great if they had actually modeled it after Eurovision and brought one song from every country in North and South America. But no, instead they just brought a song from each state and territory. There’s not a huge cultural difference when you break things down state by state for the most part either

Jury votes can ease off brigading but then you're worried about the integrity of the juries. You saw that with this, where the juries voted for a very safe neutral country to set the next one in.
The only really solution is to ban countries who are bad actors but then there needs to be a whole investigation into who's acting naughty and that's opening up a massive can of worms.

>>380273Agreed. I hate the not like the other boy lyrics but musically I liked Nemo's song way better. I enjoyed the mix of pop and opera (I also loved Russian Woman back in 2021 which was similar in that regard). His staging was awful though, and so was his outfit (why do non-binaries always dress like clowns, none of them ever have cool androgynous style).
Croatia's song just sounded like a rehashed (but worse) Cha Cha Cha to me. It was so over hyped.
My favourites of the night were Ukraine and Norway. I liked Armenia too, and Ireland despite the singer being annoying.
I don't think people would be so insistent that Switzerland was trash and that the juries must be in on some scheme to stop Balkan countries from winning if Nemo had been a normal guy instead of a man with pronouns in a skirt who spun around on a huge saucer.

Some of the text is obvious satirical, for example saying to respect women but then also calling them "teven" (translates to bitches). However to be fair its to make a rhyme with "leven" and "vrouwen" does not rhyme with it. He is also making jokes about assuming "her" gender at the end. So pretty much making fun at genderspecials.
However the middle part seems pretty genuine, about giving your seat to pregnant women in the bus and making sure to thank the women in your life and be grateful. Petty much saying that moids shoudlnt try to come off as cool while being rude to women.

Do any of you think Bambie might have had some kind of mental breakdown in the last few years? Picrel is from her Facebook page. She's had the account for over a decade and all the pictures are super normal, she didn't start the goth non-binary witch schtick until more recently. She released her first song a year after this normal looking picture was posted while apparently in the midst of a drug addiction (she also posted a music video for it on a porn site). She also says she got into a toxic relationship in 2021.
I'm really curious to know when this goth non-binary stuff started, because literally everything on her Facebook depicts her as a totally normie looking woman, except for one pic from 2021, posted on the same day her first song came out (the most recent profile picture), which still isn't that out there, she just looks emo-ish in it.
I really wonder if she had some kind of mental break from the drugs and bad relationship, and the non-binary goth witch stuff came out of some terrible identity crisis. Because it just seems that she spent a long, long time being normal, and then suddenly she became a queer pagan with no in between stage or any indication that she cared for witchcraft or LGBTWIFI5G stuff at any point before that (except for supporting gay marriage in Ireland in 2015, but that's not the same as believing someone can be genderless).

>>381687Female: Victoria De Angelis, Loreen in 2012 (not when she returned with that unwashed look), Kateryna Pavlenko, Noa Kirel, Ruslana. I think Barbara Pravi and Manizha are really pretty too but not in a "hot" way, Barbara has more classical vibes and Manizha is the cute and bubbly kind of pretty.
Male: Luke Black, Jann, Eric Saade, Benjamin Ingrosso, Alvan, Bojan, Mahmood. I thought Rybak was really cute growing up too but I'm not into his look anymore. Gjon is also attractive to me even though he's not really conventionally hot, I think his face is sweet. Damiano can be very unconventionally hot when he wants, but he can also look like a starving unwashed prisoner of war so idk
Picrel is Jann. He isn't for everyone, but I appreciate him for objectifying himself for the female gaze while he's still in his prime and his movements while performing are very catlike and slinky. He pulls off the zoomer alt look better than most and I personally think more men between the ages of 18-25 should take his example and show off their bodies before hitting the wall.

What an absolute fail, I hate Sweden, what the fuck.
No. 381795
>>381790Agreed. Käärijä's song was more interesting but Loreen's song was pure jury bait. Many jurors are divorced from what fans like and treat the contest as a trade show for their radio stations and record labels. Plus a lot of them aren't fans and don't watch it regularly, they're just people who work in the music industry of their countries. Fans might have known that it was going to be the 50th anniversary of Abba's win but a lot of jurors wouldn't have because they're not big enough fans to know fun facts like that. I really do think that Loreen just had the song that appealed to the juries taste and that it wasn't some Swedish scheme. And the same for Nemo, I don't believe any theories that the juries rewarded him for being a genderspecial man. He just sent the type of serious pop song that the juries eat up and it succeeded.
Sweden hosting the contest was the best outcome considering the mess that happened this year as they have more recent hosting experience. It would have been an even crazier year if a broadcaster that's not used to hosting was in charge. Nobody knew it at the time but Loreen rescued Finland from having this catastrophe of a contest on their doorstep.

France's 2023 contestant La Zarra says her music video was removed from the official Eurovision channel, Eurovision France and her own channel

I guess they didn't like me revealing some of their practices! Well, we don't care about the clip, but the harassment continues! That's a shame, but for artists, when we're subjected to mental abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse, threats to our careers, to our person, we don't have any resources and when we speak out, we get blocked in the industry.

But when it comes to real people, me and others agree that it feels weird to witness and a little bit disrespectful. If ABBA is ok with this though, then that's another story.

This milk is actually insane. They did a sketch that makes fun of Eurovision artists on Israeli TV with Eden Golan.
>Following a Eurovision unlike any other last weekend in which Israel’s contestant, Eden Golan, faced threats, harassment, boos, and rudeness of practically every kind imaginable, the comedy show, Eretz Nehederet (Wonderful Country) on Keshet 12, featured a sketch Tuesday night in which Defense Minister Yoav Gallant kidnaps the Eurovision contestants who called for Israel to be banned and who asked not to sit in the same room with Golan.>Switzerland’s Nemo, who won the competition this year; Ireland’s snarling self-described “witch” Bambie Thug; Holland’s Joost Klein; and Greece’s Marina Satti were all brought blindfolded to the studio to apologize to an exhausted Eden Golan.>Eretz regular Shani Cohen was doing an impression of Golan, when the genuine article walked in, smiling graciously, as she did in spite of everything throughout the competition. Gallant orders the crass and classless contestants to beg for forgiveness. When they don’t cooperate, Gallant brings in Yizhar Cohen, the first Israeli to win Eurovision in 1978, who also fails to elicit any remorse from the Euro-brats.>Finally, Golan saves the day, saying, “It’s OK, let them go, I forgive them, music brings us together.” Gallant asks if she really forgives them, and she jokes that she did better than most of them in the competition, which was the truth true. Golan came in fifth, higher than any of these haters except Nemo, and second in the audience voting.>In an appropriate coda to the sketch, the always positive Golan brings Nemo another trophy to replace the one he dropped, which he then drops again.>Host Eyal Kitzis says that while Golan may have forgiven them, “karma doesn’t forgive [them].”Source:

>celts didnt build neolithic sitescorrect but as you can see below their ancestors did. celts worshiped at sacred groves called nemota (sing. nemeton). they revered neolithic sites as they believed their gods made them
>celts genocided the peoplethere is no evidence for this genetic testing shows that the neolithic people just adopted celtic culture. celtic culture spread through trade people adopted the culture by trading with celts hence why it was so widespread. also when celts did invade and area they just replaced the ruling class and converted everyone to celtic belief
>the celts worshipped patriarchal sky godsthe majority of celtic gods were female, the gods worshiped changed from group to group, some of the most important gods were the soverienty goddesses, each tribe had their own and she represented the land and the right of the people to live there and the right of the king to rule over them. If there was famine or disasters it meant their sovreinty goddess revoked the kings right to rule so he had to be killed and replaced with a new one.
The irish call their gods the 'children of danu' with danu being the mother of dagda so she was clearly important.

Jann did it way better. He had sex appeal and at least pulled off the Tiktok alt outfit he was wearing. Nemo looked like an ugly clown running around on a giant frying pan lid.

>>382809Passports have sex listed on them and not gender. Passport checkers and border control don't give a shit about your ~special gender identity~. Nor does someone who checks your ID.
Gendies and gendie issues are propped by politicians and corpos to distract us from actual issues, istg.

I thought there were just a few countries that drew this producer decides thing, where a producer can choose any running order they want in the final, but apparently there were so many it's ridiculous.
All of these new rules/additions in the last few years have been completely unnecessary. Don't know how you feel about the 'rest of the world' votes, but I hate it. (I am aware it's just one batch of points, I'm just that petty.)

>>382948I know it's a different country, different laws, different people and blah blah blah, but it blows my mind how someone can work in an area that not everyone has access to, sign some work related papers with a bunch of rules to follow and just completely ignore the requests by the delegation. Surely, as a photographer/cameraman you would know about the importance of consent, especially when you were hired by the national broadcaster to work on such a huge international event. And then, when you were the one who was unprofessional and didn't follow the rules/important requests went to report this (based on the officially released information) minuscule incident to the police?
I can't imagine something like that happening on the streets - someone filming random people gets called out for that, doesn't do anything and thus is insulted and maybe pushed by the filmed people, then goes to complain about it to the police. It just sounds crazy, especially when there was no physical harassment, only an alleged threat, that no one knows what it was exactly.

>>382882>>382875Being gay or bi isn't cool and controversial anymore. It's all about wearing cute pink skirts as a guy and being nonbinary for these people
>>382871Yeah I really don't see what part of his performance was revolutionary at all
>>382893This lmao. I don't get what the push for your gender identity to be added to your passport is all about, at least not from Nemo that looks 100% like a moid in a skirt.

It's just an extra source of revenue for EBU (or cashgrab depending how you look at it). Inflation has hit ESC too and multiple countries dropped out in recent years because they can't afford it anymore, EBU needs money.

>>384087I think Nemo having decent vocals was a part of it tbh. Olly can't sing live. Conchita Wurst won the whole show in full drag attire a decade ago with actually good vocals.
The only time the UK has done well this decade is when they sent Sam Ryder, who unlike James, Mae and Olly can sing well live.

Apparently the Israeli commentators made a comment about how people don't care about the war in Ukraine anymore so they're forced to send good songs now. Vanya from Go_A replied on twitter
What do you nonnies think, do you think this will impact next year's edition in any way? It does feel like the tensions are very high as more and more of the Israeli commentary and their delegation's behaviour is resurfacing
