Do you have any insight into 2021? I for some reason remember that being stronger than 2022 as well. 

[Gwendolyn]

Amazing result for a iconic top 2

I’m confused by this.  I’m not seeing a compelling need to change it from a 50-50 televote, juryvote split. 
 

To win you basically need to win over the public and the critics and that seems fair.  I think it would cheapen the competition if whoever was hottest won for example.  Sometimes I disagree with the Jury (giving all those points to the UK last year) but also sometimes I disagree with the public (giving all those points to Moldova last year). I think they balance each other nicely.  

This year, Sweden won the jury vote by a landside and the public favorite would have had to basically get the maximum points on almost every country to counteract it. Keep in mind there are 180M-200M people watching the contest, and this year they introduced voting from all around the globe. What precedent does it send that the public would have to do an almost impossible feat to counteract the opinions of 100-180 musical professionals?

 

As I mentioned, the rest of the world was introduced this year to make other viewing countries feel welcome but the jury favorite stomped so hard that it felt in the end pretty pointless for those people to vote. That in itself looks bad on the contest especially since it was marketed that those countries can now vote in the contest. For that reason, I would bet they are at least looking at reviewing the current system. Who knows if they are actually changing it.

 

I get that this year is a very extreme case, after reading arguments on both sides and my own experience as I mentioned in the previous post. I agree we need a jury. I'm actually of the opinion that the jury should be in the semi-finals to maintain some sort of quality going into the final as we all know what a televote only system would look like however I would always maintain that the public should have a bigger say than the musical professionals. If that's what people pick up their phones and pay money to do.

And yes, before anyone says it I know that Tattoo was the 2nd public favourite overall.

A Finnish song did that 

[TaylenaStan]

If anything tho the ''controversy'' around Cha Cha Cha not winning probably helped it getting more streams

Alessandra Queen of Kings was the true robbery by the jury

[Fevesy]

Abba hates Loreen too, confirmed. 

[POPTART]

They will ship the holograms 

[WalkAway]

Not people saying that Sweden and Finland are the top 2 because they are joining NATO. 

[Fevesy]

Btw, just to continue the conversation on the Jury/Public split since it's healthy and let people form their own opinions, either for 50/50 or not:

 

How it would have impacted the winner in the last 14 years

 

Increasing Televote weight

 

Increasing Jury weight

 

It does highlight that this year is a very extreme case. In most cases, it doesn't actually impact at all.

Closing my eyes to 2016
