>What do you nonnies think, do you think this will impact next year's edition in any way?
I think the only way the EBU will kick out Israel is if their contract with Moroccanoil ends this year and artists/their country’s broadcasters spend the summer still pushing them to answer for everything that happened this year.

They’ll definitely have to review how staff and artists interact with each other after Joost. Hoping we see a lawsuit from AVROTROS against the EBU this summer.

I think they also need to do a better job of vetting journalists and make clear boundaries for them. The behavior I saw this year primarily from Israeli journalists was appalling and completely unprofessional. Unprofessional behavior should lead to journalists being kicked from the venue/having their press credentials revoked

I don't know about you nonnas, but as someone who used to watch the show to get a good laugh at the performances (costumes, and choreography included) since 2010 to forget that the votes and results are tedious and bullshit anyway, I didn't really "farm a lot of keks" this year, except for drinking myself silly to remain in good spirits and awake up until 1-2am.
I'm considering not staying up for the results next year, because it's left me absolutely gutted and unable to fall asleep without checking out Twitter reactions forever to feel vindicated etc., since at least 2019 tbh.
It might be me getting old saying that but anyone else considering the same for 2025?

It’s not just you. I haven’t enjoyed the full show from start to finish since 2021. 2022 had pity televoting for Ukraine. 2023 had a clearly rigged jury. 2024 had a clearly rigged jury and mass Israeli diaspora televoting for the most boring song. It’s just not fun anymore

Anonymous 05/31/24 (Fri) 07:02:50 AM No. 387949

I think most people who follow the contest for a long time feel this way. I remember back in the day when I was actually excited about the results, supporting my favourite countries, hoping they would do as well as I'd expect. Yes, block voting was and is a thing but people genuinely voted for what they liked. As years went by and especially since the war in Ukraine, things have been way less exciting for me. Yes I love following the contest to find new singers and music, but the finals themselves are so anticlimatic. This year, before the bookmakers closed the bets, Croatia had over 50% chance of winning and they had to crush it by pushing the gendie. It would be so cool if he actually won. And let's not even talk about the disqualification fiasco. Pure bs. I know some anons still think Joost did something terrible, but I'm pretty sure that's not the case otherwise they wouldn't be so vague about it. And Joost recently asked for extra witnesses from the Nehterlands or something so it seems like whatever "investigation" happened was pretty half-assed and against him. I've seen some video of Bambie Thug saying there's an investigation going on and she can't talk for now but when she can, she will. Can't wait kek

I feel the opposite. Looking back like 10 years the quality of the songs and performances were so shit, I always used to be bored with 90% of the songs and at most like 2-3 songs. The last 4 or so years maybe I've loved the show so much, I've enjoyed watching all of it even if I didn't like all songs. And there's significantly more songs I do actually enjoy now. The political stuff is annoying of course, but I guess since I never really care who wins it's not too big of a problem to me.

I think one of the best ways to enjoy the show is to quit all social media, literally don't read any of it, and just watch it with your friends. If you hadn't checked social media you wouldn't have known about the joost stuff or that israel was booed by the crowd. It would just have looked like a nice fun show.

Nta. There's no evidence but strong suspicions. It's not like EBU is going to give us the facts on a silver platter.

>>387881
It's been less fun to me ever since I discovered betting odds a few years ago and how scarily accurate they are. There's a few misses every year obviously but they're at least 75% accurate. The show gets largely decided before it even takes place.

That said the song quality has gone up sooooo much in recent years.

Tbh, I don't check out ESC shit before the finale though, because I wanna be surprised at the finale on purpose, so as to not get spoiled of the fun. I even only heard about the Netherlands during the show when it jumped from contestant number four to number six suddenly. But, like I said, since 2019 if not 2018, the show has lost me because the actual fun has been put on the back burner to use songs, contestants and/or moderators to send insert whatever message that is mostly biased if not as vapid as Miss USA wishing "World peace" out there.

Quality is a question of perspective and that's another thing we can argue about. Admittedly there were some older editions with ballads that bored me to tears too. But there were also other contestants that brought the fun spirit of what ESC represents to me, as someone who started watching on the year of Epic Sax Guy.
Quality and fun are not necessarily mutual exclusive, but I find very little quality music every new edition as far as my personal tastes go, and I see no fun, only big performances that want to rival with Beyonce's Superbowl performance from three years ago (if not more) and I don't care for that shit.

So yeah, even if you were meaning well, whatever you said didn't exactly concern my case, I only ever check out social media after the shit storm of the results pissed me off again, to see if I'm the only one feeling that way.
But now I'm tired of being aggravated and deprived of a good night sleep because of a tedious hour and a half of a nothing burger.

I know what you mean and it's 100% true but having known what was going on it feels almost like what you suggested isnt real like ones amusement would be based on a false picture,
i know this is true for a lot of things like when you find out one of the actors from a favourite film you had as a child was later revealed to be a sex pest or when you have a friend who you later find out is a shitty person, it makes you feel like the enjoyment was based on a lie

So many songs in 2023 and 2024 were snubbed to such a severe degree that it makes the integrity of the juries as a whole feel questionable. Despite that I'm still not in the abolish the jury camp. Instead I really think juries need to be overhauled. Most countries have 5 jurors typically with a pop/classical background or are loosely related to the music industry like radio show host or talent show judge. I think each country’s jury needs to be expanded to 7-10 jurors and be required to have jurors affiliated with more genres than just pop/classical (rock background, opera background, jazz, punk, etc.) It wouldn’t have to be the same genres every year, but just a variety requirement in general would help a lot to get a more well rounded vote instead of a massive echo chamber. As it currently is, there was a clear runaway winner both in 2023/2024. If they were weak years it would be understandable, but both years were musically strong in my opinion.

Sorry when I say enjoy the show from start to finish, I didn’t mean the songs were bad. I agree that song quality, staging, and performances have greatly increased in quality in recent years. I just haven’t been able to enjoy the voting sequence. It’s an hour long which is 25% of the show. It used to be fun and would keep you guessing who would win until the end, but the past few years it’s been so obvious who the winner was going to be that the last quarter of the show wasn’t very enjoyable to me

Do you follow ESC online/look at the betring odds online beforehand? I feel like I would've never guessed Switzerland or Croatia would go top 3, Loreen and Unicorn top 3 last year etc.

I'll agree on Estonia. Croatia I wouldn't consider "fun" but I looked up the Metal band that Baby Lasagna used to be part of before thanks to it, I would say the same for Norway. But that's about it.
I didn't have "fun" watching Spain, Netherlands I didn't get to see because I don't watch the selection rounds to not spoil the finale, same for Belgium, and Slovenia wasn't my cup of tea.

I've watched fourteen editions in a row and only truly found ten contestants from the different finales to have good and/or fun songs that I can still listen to now.
We can argue about what quality and fun means. Again. But that's moot because that's a personal tastes thing.

Man 2024 had such great songs and performances, I really wonder how and if 2025 is going to top it! I know a few people cry about stupid politics but it's just really so much fun to get to see songs performed in different languages every year and the stage in Sweden was used amazingly for visual effects.

I know it's early but does anyone wanna play predictions with what next years trends will be? Usually mediocre countries ape after the previous winner, so I think unfortunately there will be a bunch of no-effort enby troons who sing about their totally deep amazing journey to discover that they're not a Real Man/Woman because they like to sometimes wear a skirt and nail polish (but only while cameras are on them, they're genderfluid like that).

I think the Netherlands will still participate, because if they don't nobody will miss them anyway. I mean if I asked "did you miss Denmark in the big final this year?" most people would go "huh, didn't even notice they were gone". People only really keep track of their own country. And Joost got a lot of support (despite having a very shit song kek) so they'd just give up on that momentum instead of using it, and if they wait an extra year literally nobody will remember he even got banned.

Oh my god I would love an open terf in ESC! I'm sure depending on how woke the host country/audience is the audience would boo her though.

The ESC this year surprisingly had a live audience of mostly brits despite not being held in the UK, explaining why Israel got booed to hell while people of Europe actually voted for them enough to make it too the top songs.

There were a few other songs that I liked too, but vid related was considered the biggest competition. A lot of the Eurovision fandom was acting like it was a sure thing that karnaval would win, but Zjerm ended up winning both the jury and the overall televote. Albania finally decided to take a chance on something experimental and I couldn’t be happier about it

imo it changed nothing except all the brits in the crowd were booing Israels song, which was filtered out so nobody watching on TV (which is like 99.9%) even knew it happened and the song did great in the rest of EU voting. That europapa guy getting banned was WAY bigger drama news everywhere I looked. Though I did predominantly mean it changes nothing about the war, nobody is more pro/anti because they went on ESC and it doesn't benefit them to be there or not imo.

Speaking of the British dominated live crowd, I think since 2022 there's been a very deliberate push to make the UK more interested in the ESC. They're already part of "the big 5" so it's beneficial for the ESC if they want to sink even more money into it. Otherwise it doesn't make sense that Sweden would randomly hold a 70% British crowd out of nowhere, it "should" be mostly local people or at least a mix of nationalities…

ESC had the chance to build it's audience and legacy over literal decades, this didn't. If they want to have any chance at competing with ESC they're going to have to deliver the same production quality right off the bat, where's the money and production knowledge for that?

I also think "muh culture" is overrated especially from most of those shitty 3rd world countries. Not all cultures are valuable, I'll take a ban for that.

ESC fans are kinds hypocritical about wanting/valueing "culture" in ESC anyways because they only want a specific flavour of "ethnic culture". If, say, Germany would send Schlager no one would vote for it because it sounds and looks dated and uncool. You all claim to want culture but only as long as it sounds thrilling to the modern ear and looks flashy and fits within a narrow box of culture that's exciting.

It's not even that cultures are overrated, but that this mix clashes hard. Do we really think Russia, Iran, Kazakhstan etc would happily be celebrating other cultures like Brazilian dancers wearing bikinis and feathers? They look sluttier and more gay than anything in ESC by default! And do we think China would gracefully accept their national treasure singer getting dead last year after year because the other cultures are more similar and nobody voted for them?

Also, looking at this list here >>457347 I genuinely don't think all of the countries here care about each other enough to take the contest seriously. Eurovision works because its centered on European nations. That Soviet eurovison might work if it only included former USSR satelites but otherwise its just a list of 3rd world countries, some of whom already follow Eurovision anyways.

As for the songs, they'll just going to send traditional songs i assume with ugly moids, since most of these countries are strict and Muslim. And some of these countries consider music and dancing haram so it won't be that popular to begin with. And not have many female participants. They'll only support each other in the votes. Might even censor the women from other countries or not show them at all like they do in the Olympics here. https://youtu.be/OcuomoJ3n0w?si=EIdA9K-6j4R511XQ

I've spent the last year referring to Nemo and the ESC as "the guy in an (ugly) skirt who won ESC" and I'm curious what the non-binary debate following that guy's win looked like in other countries and how it looks now that the next ESC is creeping in.

Here nobody who I've talked to have reacted or even flinched to me saying the above, everyone just goes "oh yeah that guy" using he/him without a second thought. One single time a girl got mad about it and "corrected" me kek she was of course very woke. A few times I've tested the waters and brought up things like how it's a bit strange that in 2024/25 it's still "progressive" to say a man wearing a skirt on a very gay stage is somehow ground breaking, or that a man wearing a skirt somehow makes him "not a man" anymore. Usually they go "huh, yeah that is dumb!" and laugh and then the conversation moves on.

It’s super male gazey and centers male pleasure despite claiming to be female empowering.

Oh no, not at all for once! Usually all of Sweden is pissed off because the international jury (they have 50% of the voting power) voted for some stupid "safe" pop song the people didn't want. So this time when the people actually got what we voted for everyone has been happy about it for once. This is the one year it's not an upset win!

All of Sweden is very vocal about hating the retarded jury system is the crazy part. Especially because the jury picks songs like loreen who then wins and all of Europe gets mad at us for sending her. We didn't want her to represent us and we didn't vote for her to win in the esc final, none of that was done by us! Especially because Sweden sees Finland as a close brother (there's a very big cultural overlap) so we were really rooting for them to win, giving them 12 points and käärijäs song being more popular here than loreens. Then social media reported it as "swedes are mad people aren't celebrating their win" but no we fucking weren't! We were just mad that käärijä didn't win! Also mad that the song the non-swedish international jury picked for us funking won because that gives them fuel to go "see, the jury knows better than the people" and they keep the retarded jury.

It's also weird how everyone in discussion forums like this will shit on their own countries songs, going "ugh I hate that nepo baby trash, we will be dead last this year" but for some reason they still assume everyone else just loves their own country's song and artist. But any singer or band will have the most haters from their own country! 99% of the time I have literally no idea why people vote for Sweden at all because I think we send boring songs.

Russia has a mentality that it needs to win absolutely everything and got too invested in Eurovision. When Norway won back in 2009, Russia perceived this as their second win in a row, because Rybak is belorussian, so he's "ours". I kinda miss turning on the tv after each show, to see butthurt, washed up celebrities screaming how Eurovision is a circus faggot show that doesn't deserve our purity and sincerity and still competing every year and taking it too seriously.

Seeing him on local Swedish TV he never even seemed to pretend to be a golden retriever imo. He was always open with being very competitive and a bit of a sore loser. Though he certainly seemed to enjoy being seen as the golden child.

Speaking of Tommy Cash, I was scrolling on tiktok and got jumpscared by this.

Have you nonas forgotten all the Käärijä thirstposting that was done here on LC? Anons liked how ugly-cute he was. Sadly he has gotten fat now.

Please tell me who would be the female equivelant of a Joost or Kaarija because I can't think of any over the last 10 years.

nta but part of the issue is that… men just are uglier than women by default. It's super easy to find an ugly man, it's harder to find an ugly woman and even then she's still better looking than the ugly men. I really liked these two with their edgar allan poe song, they aren't ugly but they're chubby and not wearing tight sexy outfits, their song was funny and catchy!

I read this post and I almost started defending these guys because I find them hot but then I saw >>476313. Holy shit, he does get hardmogged by his model girlfriend. You have a point, maybe moids do get away with being ugly more often than they deserve just because they are goofy.

i feel insane, why is everyone shilling sweden as a favorite this year??? the song literally sounds like a grocery store ad jingle, it's just less annoying than espresso macchiato. is it that the year is too unpredictable so sweden is the safest bet or the only people left caring about eurovision are scandis?

Because singing about something as silly and mundane, yet culturally distinct as saunas is charming and kind of bit anti-ESC's usual high production pop. Plus it's kinda catchy!

>can think of only 1 performance and it's conventionally attractive women
You're just proving my point anon. There are plenty of ugly women in the world, they just rarely get the chance to succeed in the music industry.

The band is Finnish so if it wins Finland will win by proxy kek and as a Finn I want Finland’s entry to be the last and Estonia, Johnny Cash is also porn creep

yea, as catchy as advertising music can go. look, i get that it'll do well in germanic (and some baltic) countries but winning? 100% not happening unless jury will throw points at whatever comes out of melfest
>>484065
>>austria
>better than the code, i think it will win
agree, actual contender to win, tho i'm a bit uncertain about the televote, i think people are kinda done with the opera shtick after the code and rise like a phoenix for now
i can see netherlands going up, france hard to say, jurybait for sure but i think it'll be overshadowed by israel if vocals are a thing to go by, estonia and belgium are out of top 10 though in my opinion
i do hope albania and ukraine will blow up, those are really good songs

ayrt and i'm extremely late to reply to this but i think the middle one is genuinely good-looking. he's got the same sharp-faced finnish man phenotype as Sam Lake.

nonna i'm sobbing, this is just how finnish men are
Our ESC2022 entry was this band, even the one woman looks slightly like some kind of a fantasy creature now, which I assume is just due to exposure to the three men, I swear she looked totally normal back when she did music solo
