A memorable/good song will qualify/win from any position. Sometimes I wish they would give the frontrunners the "disadvantaged" spots for you guys to realise the RO has minimal impact
Lil Mxnster Posted March 26 Posted March 26 I've finally listened all the 36 songs and, indeed, this has been my winner since February 6th

This deserved so much more! Greece's Celine truly did that. This as well. I remember not really caring about this before the contest only for it to end up one of my most listened to songs of the season by the end of the year. Get some taste x2. While Oneiro Mou was great, Maria Elena Kyriakou's song is just boring. No one remembers it here in Greece.

Sometimes I wish they would give the frontrunners the "disadvantaged" spots for you guys to realise the RO has minimal impact No shade to other artists in SF2 of 2022, but Serbia was the clear televote winner (I believe Sweden wouldn't have tied it, had Serbia gotten a better RO) I agree that RO doesn't impact clear qualifiers, but I don't think Ramonda is a clear Q - especially in televote system only. And with Portugal performing second to last, I think Serbia's chances are even lower.
OnlyManInTheWorld Posted March 27 Posted March 27 For the first time I'm not interested in Eurovision at all. How many Finlands do we have this year? Like 6? Croatia and The Netherlands There's no clear winner. I'd give it to Italy, the only listenable song. 1

little legend Posted March 27 Posted March 27 Well isn't it a fact that EBU introduced the juries so the winning country is what EBU prefers? Also they re-introduced the juries after a decade of eastern european songs were winning back to back
J Legend X Posted March 27 Posted March 27 It's so funny why y'all always obsessed with whatever Italy sends REGARDLESS but pay dust to the rest of the Big 5... I thought you hated them equally... 2

They are so unserious stanning that. To be fair it's mostly Dutch people hyping up their entry: his spotify streams being 80% from Netherlands/Belgium is telling.

Everybody seems to agree on Australia/Moldova/Iceland being NQ, with the borderline group being Ireland/Slovenia/Azerbaijan/Portugal/Serbia. (some are also doubting cyprus and poland, but let's say they are safe). Out of these serbia seems one of the, if not the safest despite #2, considering neighbors/diaspora and the fact that it's a more accessible ~ballad than slovenia or portugal. If Luka qualified last year with that mess of a song and staging, so will Ramonda. Edited March 27 by Komet
Pendulum Posted March 27 Posted March 27 (edited) Well, Serbia would have qualified from any position, 01, 02, 10, 11, 16, 06, whatever, had they send Zejna with her Rammstein'd turbo-folk banger but we been knew Serbia is incapable of making good decisions and they end up bombing at the end (or they get bombed gag) Zejna je najbolja afterall (Zejna is the best, for the non-Serbo-Croatian speakers amongst us) Ramonda is just boring.

They are so unserious stanning that. Why are you so against the Slaytherlands? I'm starting to think a Dutch hunty rejected you or something, in which case you shouldn't take it serious because Dutch men are garbage (Joost incluced) /joke Europapa and Zari are actually on the same level, sonically They have that je ne sais quoi (Hera Björk you will never be famous) that appeals only to the best of us, aka. people with distinguished musical preferences.

This is the first time I'm seeing so many people come together from my age to support this song. Yes, we ARE stanning that because it's much closer to what we actually listen to than the AvroTros elite picked entries from the last few years (excluding legend Stien) 1

Y'all need to drop that silly argument. No? The televote was introduced for the first time in 1998. In 1996 only five countries voted via televoted and the rest were juries if I remember correctly. 2001 and 2002 countries could choose between voting 100% televote or 50/50. The juries were ditched and only used as a backup in the period between 2003 and 2009. Which countries won in the period between 2001 and 2009? 5 countries that were previously behind the Iron Curtain. It was for the reason that the "newcomers" were outperforming the Western countries. Austria threw a sissy fit and withdrew for 3 years and demanded the 50/50 system to be cemented once and for all. Not surprising that a Western European would act like that and disregard the concerns of Eastern Europeans. Yikes. I feel sorry that you cannot see the preferential treatment some countries get over the small guys. But we're underdeveloped cave-dwelling savages, what do we know? Edited March 27 by Pendulum
