The Next Day Posted May 14, 2023 Posted May 14, 2023 Let me just add that I loved the Ukrainian-British cooperation. The last show I watched was Tel Aviv and this year I was reminded of why I love this show. The mixture of Ukrainian, British and the candidate countries really stressed the point of togetherness, I wouldn't mind seeing such cooperation between two host countries again, although I understand it's not practical and therefore won't happen. The energy seemed amazing, way more positive than just 10 years ago (although the crowd reaction to the UK televote points was a kii, but there's no Eurovision without a bit of mess). The overall sound is definetly changing as well, hip-hop and rap are now solidified parts of the genre mix. Maybe I was just a bit starved because of the two shows I missed, but it really felt more colorful, more positive, more energetic than the last shows I've seen. A lot of great new additions to my Spotify playlists as well, a great ESC class of 2023.

Uncatena Posted May 14, 2023 Posted May 14, 2023 btw we need to convince the delegations to finally boycott unless they disqualify Israel. Hearing “our hearts are with Ukraine!” during the voting while they were giving 12 points to Israel was ******* jarring.
Gwendolyn Posted May 14, 2023 Posted May 14, 2023 I think a jury overhaul is coming.. Martin is giving people pleaser.

Israel won the televote in 3 participating countries, as well as the "Rest of the World" televote, they aren't going anywhere dorlin
ATRL Moderator khalyan Posted May 14, 2023 ATRL Moderator Posted May 14, 2023 Spain's televote coming from just Portugal and ROTW
Thickorita Posted May 14, 2023 Posted May 14, 2023 Israel using the phones from all the Palestinians they massacred to secure the ROTW vote.

ATRL Moderator khalyan Posted May 14, 2023 ATRL Moderator Posted May 14, 2023 San Marino and Romania both getting 0 points in the semi
Funhouse Posted May 14, 2023 Posted May 14, 2023 Loreen received jury points from every country and televote points from every country... except Finland
ATRL Moderator khalyan Posted May 14, 2023 ATRL Moderator Posted May 14, 2023 Poland got 3rd in the semi just behind Australia and Austria
Funhouse Posted May 14, 2023 Posted May 14, 2023 (edited) Seems like a lovely night to stream Edited May 14, 2023 by Funhouse
Konril Posted May 14, 2023 Posted May 14, 2023 Spanish former colonies came through with the 2 ROTW vote.
JennyWayne Posted May 14, 2023 Posted May 14, 2023 Wait not Finnish televoters voting tactically. Even more impressive since unlike juries, televoters can't 'downvote' an entry which means that thousands of Fins consciously decided to not vote for Sweden
blown away Posted May 14, 2023 Posted May 14, 2023 How did Austria go from 137 points televote only to 16? There must be something fishy, no?

They need to do something to fix the quality of the semis, because having one strong/one weak semi keeps happening year after year
Komet Posted May 14, 2023 Posted May 14, 2023 Winning without a single 12pts from the public? There's not one (1) country who thought Sweden had the best song? There will be turmoil coming, the backlash already is something that I haven't ever seen, not even in 2015.
gimmelaugh Posted May 14, 2023 Posted May 14, 2023 Poland ranking 3rd is not surprising to me at all I knew she would qualify easily with that dance break and coming after all the snoozefests. The fandom was delusional thinking she was getting 0 points
