event Eurovision Song Contest 2024 | Switzerland wins!

[thismoment]

This year lowkey made no noise, controversy aside. 
At least we got the Mediterranean bops 

Spain, Greece and Italy

Azerbaijani jury ranked Armenia 26th, 24th, 26th, 26th and 26th

That one juror ranking them 24th is making me kii though. If you're gonna tank them for political reasons, why not go all the way

ZARI has been stuck in my head since last night. What an avantgarde Balkan SMASH. Not to mention her whole attitude during the whole competition. Therefore, I've come to the conclusion she's a legend

I just streamed Raiven's entire discography. She won!

Some of these individual juror scores are... suspicious

 

Two jurors from San Marino placed Croatia 24th and 25th  

Portugese jurors ranking Croatia 23rd, 24th, 19th and 21st  

Belgian jurors ranking Croatia 20th, 24th, 24th and 25th

 

 

I understand the song may not be someone's cup of tea, but objectively ranking Croatia as one of the worst songs/performances of the night? I smell a stunt tbh

 

This is absolutely disgusting. 

 

Juries need to be abolished asap. Their power should not be reduced; abolished. Everyone claiming that we'd always have the same/shitty songs winning clearly don't know what they're talking. Public has a much more organic taste than the so-called "professional" juries. Televoting only era gave us some of the most memorable and beloved songs. Great/quality entries always found their way to the top and won 9/10 times. It is the juries, in fact, that regularly shove songs that nobody cares about down our throats.   

 

Otherwise, make televoting free of charge. 

 

We claim to be the most democracy-loving people in the world. Time to actually live by our values and not just talk about them.

I'm sorry but what the **** are these people on? Eurovision has never been more queer than this year

That account is literally just the epitome of only caring about outrages for attention/interactions from my memory.

I recall them having a tirade calling a ton of the contestants Zionists out of nowhere and then got schooled on the actual definition of the word and deleted the tweets

[Shelter]

Bambie coming 6th in the Jury, 6th in the tele, 6th overall. 666 

 

I'm coming round to the Switzerland song. It is decent.

Mind you the Grindr jokes were some of the only funny jokes in this edition. I'm not a gay man and I chuckled over them

wait, this was a camera malfunction?

I thought that my stream freezed right when she was doing the backflip with Kaleen's coochie pointing at me

I was like "girl, whoa, but I'm just a ******, you won't get votes from me for this!"

NOW not the luna airport interviewer asking her if she knows about serbian tv cutting her performance mid-broadcast (she said she didn't know because she was focused on the performance)

I need queen Sara Jo to return back in 2025! If it wasn't for GODstrakta, she would gag Europe in 2022

 

 

she already had her chance in that devil costume and she flopped HARD

If we didn't win with Konstrakta... then I doubt it will happen any time soon...

 

 

i mean... Zorja needs to grow a bit, but she has a winner's voice, and Konstrakta could always come back (I know she says she won't, but I don't believe her)

So as someone who just started paying attention to Eurovision within the past two seasons, can we talk about the lack of POC representation? Is the percentage of POC in Europe THAT low? As an American watching, this was quite shocking to me. This goes for the audience as well as the contestants.

It's complicated. Eastern Europe is almost exclusively white, while some countries in Western/Northern Europe are a bit more diverse.

 

France, for example, has the most black people (3 - 5 million was estimated in 2009, imagine how much that has grown since the refugee/asylum crisis in 2015) of any European country, UK has a huge South Asian population (9.3%/5.5 million) and there are MENA spread across Europe everywhere. But keep in mind, that POC faces are still underrepresented in some country's music scenes and if they are, it's usually Rap which never does well in Eurovision (France has the 2nd largest hip hop scene behind USA, UK and Germany have thriving scenes; most of the UK scene is getting locked up daily . Also, we're still minorities, we may look like we're everywhere but we are still very small compared to the native population, for example, it's only 4.2% black in England and Wales and that's 2.2 million compared to 59.6 million and 81.7% of the population was white in England and Wales.

 

I'm Black British, and I'm part of the only 3 Black Brits who watch Eurovision in my course, so imagine how much POC will be willing to take part or even watch . We're lucky we see amazing POC representation as it is right now, especially with Continental Europe becoming more and more right-wing.

Honestly the most uplifting song of the entire show. She was captivating and had such an ease about her - totally deserved her Top10 spot

Can you tell me where all 5 of Croatian jury ranked Switzerland, Israel and Serbia?

 

[TaylenaStan]

this is such a ******* bop 
Honestly the live performance sadly didnt do this justice, but just strictly talking about listening on spotify this might be the best song
for example Rim Tim Tagi Dim sounds way better live than in the studio version

alright fair, i read your post  in the sense that you were saying the juries were sensible as opposed to the fans. my bad!

To be honest, I don't think either are "sensible".  They kind of even each other out and cancel out their eccentricities in a way that I think makes a better end result despite the flawed components.
