ZIVERT Posted May 15, 2023 Posted May 15, 2023 La Zarra serving 9 months pregnant, no epidural levels of MOTHER with this alleged backstage tea… she deserved better in both the jury AND televote, the one true crime of the season tbh…

Most of countries in Europe take this contest seriously. I mean also the General Public and not just fans. For example, I was watching the news/TV shows today and everyone was talking about Eurovision for hours. Well in my country there is also a mess cause the juries didn't give 12 pts to Cyprus, so some were saying to sue our national broadcaster, everyone is super mad on social media for this and even the former minister of foreign affairs tweeted about this So yea, seems like Eurovision is a big deal for Europeans Edited May 15, 2023 by little legend

The only change I think would be good would be to increase the number of jurors on each jury to 8-10 Expand People who are advocating for the complete removal of the jury are just being reactionary to this year and forgetting what the 00s were like. Last night I was with my friends who are more casual ESC enjoyers than me who just watch the Grand Final and they were upset at the jury situation this year.. but then told me they voted Cyprus cause he was hot. So you can't have it both ways and I schooled them on that. I will always be of the opinion that the public should have more say since we are the ones tuning in every year and the juries should be there to prevent and limit the entire thing being a joke or people trying to be memeable (especially in this day and age, it'd be worse than the 00s) If there is no changes to the voting next year, likelihood we'll get a fairly "normal" year next time as this year happened to push things to the extreme with a jury sweep and televote sweep and I doubt it'd happen again soon.

Ireland sent a puppet singing "Ireland 12 points" Belgium sent a song in an imaginary language Latvia sent pirates for some reason Spain sent Baila el Chiki Chiki and somehow escaped bottom 5 there are like 6-7 listenable songs from that year
Miles. Posted May 15, 2023 Posted May 15, 2023 This was my first year watching Eurovision live (as opposed to just following along), and I absolutely loved it! Such a fun production, a lot of great songs, and exciting results. The top 3 were absolutely perfect. I feel like both Tattoo and Cha Cha Cha are quintessentially Eurovision in different ways: a fantastic pop song and a fun, crazy, party performance. And Israel was my personal favorite - that dance breakdown was everything. Norway sneaking into the top 5 because of massive televote support was an awesome surprise. A great song that I feel the juries undervalued, so I was happy to see that rectified. Glad Cyprus was on the left side of the table, but I really think he deserved top 10. Best ballad of the year by far. Honestly, if a woman from Sweden had sung the exact same song and given the exact same performance, everyone would have been screaming for it to win. I like the UK's song, but she just didn't have the charisma to pull off that performance. Too bad. Spain getting a paltry 5 televote points was the most hilarious moment of the night Especially after certain people were claiming it had a chance to win. Switzerland was the most underrated song of the year. Another one that definitely deserved top 10. No idea how Estonia and Belgium snuck into the top 10. The former was dull and the latter was screechy. Germany and Croatia - glad to see those tank. Overall a great year, tons of fun, and excited to see Sweden host next year! 1
