This! The backlash is huge and unprecedented. Loreen of course is such an amazing person and doesn't deserve the hate. Even though I think no one hates on Loreen. But everyone is mad with the juries 

The fact that the public was screaming Cha Cha Cha during the jury votes and was so mad with the juries , damaged so bad EBU's image that there is no way there aren't going to make changes 

It's their own fault... Winners should not be allowed to return... especially if they were as iconic as Loreen back in 2012... of course, with someone like that whatever they perform the Jury will favour it, it's common sense...if Netta comes back, what do you guys think will happen?

 

(I wanted Loreen to win because was my fave song and personally I don't really mind Cha Cha Cha at all BUT, I do get the hype and why probably most Europeans loved it)

This is your daily reminder that the out-of-touch ESC fandom wanted and expected Italy to flop, only for them to end up #4. 

 

Talent really does always win.

 

but tbh... this only works for Italy, because no matter how talented other countries are, will flop

They’re never going to do it but I fully agree with him. The fact that the entire final section of Noa Kirel’s performance just a pre-recorded backing track

Quote

She is a great singer, I have to admit. I should probably start getting singing lessons, so that I can beat Loreen.

A self aware loser!

[BOOM!]

 

[ZIVERT]

Realized that I’m definitely here for the juries because without them, Australia would have UNDESERVEDLY flopped. Their song and staging was EXCELLENT, and would be considered a potential winner if we didn’t have two strong front runners this year tbh

[illia]

Eurovision should either keep the pre-recorded vocals rule OR at least increase the maximum number of people on stage because most perfomances look so empty and dull with 4-5 dancers (or even less if there are live back vocals)

Spain is gonna TANK in televote, there's been ~20 people to whom I showed the songs or they listened on they own, and every single one said Skip not even one minute in. It's not that they just don't like it, it's the only one that's outright unlistenable.

Just remembered this  The Spaniards were something else this year, although when aren't they

So you're the one to blame

 

No, but seriously, I don't know what happened or what switched. I remember seeing all those reactions on YouTube and people were LOVING EaEa, but then it's such an underrated song. Too bad it did not appeal to people in the end.

I didn’t get the controversy until watching both performances again. Loreen‘s song sounds so basic and like a hundred other song. Finland was original and fun. This whole song contest can‘t be taken seriously. If Germany had sent Loreen she would have never won. Germany always ending last is also proof enough that the voting system sucks.

[Mordecai]

Prerecorded vocals are trash and let some entries get away with straight up fraud.

The only prerecorded vocals that should be allowed are the ones with some sort of vocal effect that can't be replicated live (like the intro to In corpore sano or that brief vocal effect during Fulenn for example). Like there were some songs this year where you couldn't even hear the live vocals properly it's a disgrace

You're in for a reality check when Italy exceeds fandom's expectations this year

Belgium is gonna do well since it's a very good song in the sea of mediocre songs. I fully expect them to be on the left side of the scoreboard.

There’s gonna be so many meltdowns this year. Spain, UK and Austria will all miss top 10, but for some reason the fandom thinks they got a shot at winning

There y'all go

I think a lot of people switched because EaEa is one of those songs that can be appreciated only when it's performed on stage.

The studio verson absolutely SUCKS and the mixing is so cheap and headache-inducing. I can't imagine anyone willingly listen to it on Spotify a few times in a row unlike Tattoo or Cha Cha Cha or even Solo. So it's no wonder a lot of fans simply got tired of the song even before the contest

 

The perfomance, on the other hand, is absolutely stunning with her confidence and vocals. I wonder how Spaniards reacted to such floppage

Girl for real? What's original about Finland?  The beat, the melody, the visuals... I mean, I'm waiting. Y'all are too brave to call Tattoo a cheap generic mess but the only difference between Tattoo and Cha Cha Cha is that the latter is in Finnish.

 

If Cha Cha Cha was in English you would also be saying that it's a generic mess, because it kinda is but people have built this narrative that CCC is some kind of underrated avant-garde magnum opus.

Not Swedish media using colonizer rhetoric against Finland because they're mad Finland gave them no televote

 

I can't figure out who's worse anymore.  Kaarija stans or Loreen stans.

Yes, Cha Cha Cha would have done worse by the juries AND the public without the pre-recorded vocals.

[Fevesy]

I just realized that Loreen's Fiction Feels Good (which is a mashup of her first three Melfest songs) and Tattoo using the same photoshoot is kinda cvnt, linking them together  or lazy nnn

For the Croatian girls, I read that Damir Kedžo gave an interview somewhere (I can't find it and I don't speak Croatian) that he was the jury member that put Finland as his #1 (making him Jury E)

 

Do we stan? What's his tea?

He confirmed it in an audio interview with HRT here.

Here is a quick transcript:

"As much as Loreen was an early favourite of mine, in the end I gave my 12 points to Finland. I think I was the only one to give high points to Finland? The whole performance, his energy, how it all came together, he made a big impression. I think it was the audience favourite as well. In my opinion Finland was the best so I gave them 12 the points."

"My head was telling me Loreen but my heart was telling me Käärijä."

"If it was up to me juries would be completely removed and the audience should choose the winner."

He placed Italy at 4th place and Loreen on 3rd place which means he was Juror E like you said.

Please what is this Point at an entry in the past that's similar to Cha Cha Cha. Or at something that's commonly heard on radio or charts.

CCC is a bend of metal, rap, EDM and pop with two distinct halves that follow the storyline of the lyrics, I'd say that's pretty original. To say it's generic? You may not like it but generic??

 

I giggled at 'the only difference between Tattoo and Cha Cha Cha is that the latter is in Finnish', that's really funny ngl
