Imagine having Kaarja and Baby Lasagna as winners. They belong to Verka Serduchka pot. Neither even come close to Verka tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 21 minutes ago, JennyWayne said: People got kinda superstitious about the death slot. Because of this for years the EBU put entries there that would've tanked from any spot. It's proven once again that great entries do well from any slot in the running order and bad ones tank from anywhere. Running order only helps the borderline qualifiers. Serbia was borderline qualifier actually out of top 10 on odds and it qualified from 2nd position in semi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kummercell Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 I agree with whoever said we need juries back in semis to avoid a single act getting all the juries votes but getting rid of the juries is a terrible decision 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anti-bitch Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 1 minute ago, Komet said: I'd take a joke act winning once in a blue moon over juries pissing in public's face every year And what's the last ~joke act that won televote anyway? Finland and Estonia this year weren't even top 10, and they're the most jokey acts we've had in a while what about if the points ratio was 25% jury and 75% public vote? Because I think with no jury at all, we might get a "Cha Cha Cha" moment every year. Lol And like you said, it could be fun every now and then, but maybe not every year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PerfectCure Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 54 minutes ago, KillingYourCareer said: So, what will the Netherlands do next year? Take it personally and withdraw, or send Joost again so he can have his revenge? They probably won't withdraw, in case Joost is proven to be innocent I can imagine EBU giving them a free spot in the final or no participation fees. Joost won't come back though, I imagine he is most likely very over it and got enough publicity either way. OT: The public being salty proves that Croatia should have won, no matter who placed first. I thought sleeping on it would make me think about it in a more peaceful manner but nope, it's very much clear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Voting opened at the start of the show last night so the songs at the start this year probably actually got a boost to their votes Vs the songs at the end, compared to previous years. I'm sure loads of people just voted for the first song they liked rather than waiting until the end. Death slot was probably valid under the old voting system.

We need someone from Moldova in charge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fevesy Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Even as a Switzerlegend supporter, I still support the notion that the televote should have more sway but yeah, I think we should bring back juries into the semis next year to try that out and see winner ends up more balanced. The discourse doesn't seem to be as bad as last year though.. let me go get google translate out and read the Croatian comments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Komet Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 (edited) I'm not getting the 'bring back juries in the semis so there's no runaway jury winner' comments. Which of this year's NQs would've qualified with juries help, and then made a dent in Switzerland getting 22 12pts there?
