But it blatantly breaks Eurovision's rule regarding politics. It has no place in the contest regardless of the current context. But EBU is hypocritical in that regard as they are selective with applying this so-called "rule". Azerbaijan and Israel still participating. Belarus 2021 disqualified (and banned!) for even less obvious political connotations in their lyrics. Georgia 2009 too. the no politics rule is so dumb to me when the reason they started this contest was… mostly political. unless you want milquetoast everything, songs will be political to some extent. 1944 was entirely political, Armenia’s “Don’t Deny” song, and last year Konstrakta’s song was entirely political, for example. I think the sooner we accept that our very existence is political, and the whole concept of this contest between countries will always be political, the fairer things will be.

blown away Posted May 9, 2023 Posted May 9, 2023 Let's place our bets to who should qualify tonight 1. Norway 2. Malta 3. Israel 4. Moldova 5. Sweden 6. Czechia 7. Finland 8. Switzerland 9. Azerbaijan 10. Portugal (for the lack of better)
Solaria Posted May 9, 2023 Posted May 9, 2023 The no politics rule is bullcrap, Eurovision has been political from the start. If you wanna dive further into that I really recommend watching this video which explains it pretty well (also exposes the hypocrisy of the West and their attitude towards Eastern Europe):
Komet Posted May 9, 2023 Posted May 9, 2023 'No Politics' refers to clear-cut messages like 'This country sucks' or 'Vote for this party in next elections', not to generic 'war = bad' songs like Mama ŠČ or Watergun even if they are a subtle (or not so subtle) nod to the current events. 1944 was also just referring to a historic event with no clear political messaging in the lyrics, besides the again, generic 'war = bad' meaning. And banning those songs makes no sense, the optics alone lmao

ZIVERT Posted May 9, 2023 Posted May 9, 2023 Mind you Belarus was actively attacking their own people, and was trying to send a song (in Russian) mocking the protesters. If Sweden wins this year, not only will they tie Ireland for country with the most wins, they will also tie Ireland in having the same person win twice (Johnny Logan/Loreen) Loreen deserves!
Fevesy Posted May 9, 2023 Posted May 9, 2023 My mother called me out of the blue to tell me she's watching Eurovision this year. She hasn't watched since like mid-00s I can see her stanning for Tattoo tbh
BOOM! Posted May 9, 2023 Posted May 9, 2023 And it also rhymes! Queen Loreen for the win! I need her to win like i need air to breathe!

Solaria Posted May 9, 2023 Posted May 9, 2023 Not ManGa singer supporting Erdogan making Turks finally think Lena deserved to win Eurovision
Queen Conchita Posted May 9, 2023 Author Posted May 9, 2023 no i’m never gonna get over how incredible it was seeing it in person and i’ve never heard an audience reaction as insane as it was for Cha Cha Cha serbia was so lackluster and moldova was the biggest disappointment, me and @IMadeYouReadThis looked at eachother shook at how bad his vocals were could’ve done without rita ora
little legend Posted May 9, 2023 Posted May 9, 2023 Wow I think that my country (Greece) this year has the worst entry in history of Eurovision I hate our national broadcaster for embarrassing us like this. I'm a huge Eurovision fan and this year I couldn't even listen our song cause I got embarrassed after a few seconds.
