DUA LIPA Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 1 minute ago, Funhouse said: ALSO, it's so ******* irresponsible of the EBU to let people speculate about this nonevent for over 24 hours. I've seen international press allege that he physically beat someone, I've seen people speculate that he sexually assaulted someone. They're not doing ANYTHING to protect the artists that make their little show. yeah this is disgusting, as i said before we had so little information apart from the EBU specifying that a female member of the production crew filed the complaint and then a day later the dutch delegation saying that the measures are disproportionate in their opinion leaving people to spread rumours on social media. This entire thing went out of control within a few hours yet the EBU still has not done any damage control. all of the dutch-friendly delegations should pile up with complaints once this thing is over tomorrow because obviously they're probably stressed enough about tonight already, so it's unrealistic that much is going to happen in that regard before the show. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The absolute ******* lack of accountability. The absolute gaslighting. The absolute audacity after everything that has happened in the past few days. The fact they refused to protect any artist who wasn't Eden and the Israeli delegation. The fact they have ruined it for everyone else who seems like they just want to go home. The fact Malmo doesn't give 2 shits anymore and want it to be over. The fact is everything has been about one country only. Good luck if they ever want to contest to get the goodwill it got from 2021 because the image of this contest is increasingly going to look like the 2000s, but with a touch of genocide. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cry Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 1 minute ago, illia said: What happened in '91? Apprently because of this ,as detailed in some reddit comment: Quote Some TV Tropes user (with a lot of free time) explained all the detailed reasons why 1991 was bad in one of the "So Bad It's Horrible" subpages. ** The set was a shambles and hastily put together at Cinecitta Studios, right on the outskirts of Rome. The most charitable thing to be said about it was that it at least looked like a decent Hollywood Studios attraction lobby at Disney World, but you could hardly call it a suitable set for an international contest with millions of viewers. ** While the songs were generally on a strong level, several were butchered by the ill-prepared orchestra. Most infamously, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s27fw44U7Qk Greece's dramatic ballad "I anoixi" by Sophia Vossou]] was completely derailed by [[DreadfulMusician a horrifically out-of-tune saxophone solo]]. According to Greek conductor Haris Andreadis, the original saxophone player (who handled the song fine in rehearsals) was let go ''right before the show'' due to asking for too much money, and the replacement never even rehearsed the song prior to the live broadcast. ** The pacing was the most sluggish of any contest before or since, not helped by the most infamous hosts to ever grace the stage, Toto Cutugno and Gigliola Cinquetti. The duo were picked for their prominence as Italian musicians and for being Italy's two Eurovision champions, but their chemistry was limited and their skills in Eurovision's two main languages (English and French) were virtually non-existent. Gigliola came off mildly better than Toto though, who compensated for his limited language skills by acting like a goofball through the whole show. The combination of an extended opening dance sequence and performances of both hosts' winning entries meant it took nearly fifteen minutes before the first act took the stage (sixteen if you count the postcard), the postcards - each almost a minute long of contestants singing popular songs - were a combined forty-five minutes long, and the excruciating voting sequence was an hour by itself due to Toto and Gigliola constantly screwing up while announcing the scores, which for some reason were announced in Italian as well as the standard English and French (a practice not usually made in other contests). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
