They should keep the juries but increase the number of jurors. I don’t see how the small number of people that the juries are currently made up of can be considered a fair & accurate representation of music industry professional opinion. Aren’t there like… 5 people in the jury? There needs to be more diverse opinions if we’re going to give their scores so much weight. 
 

Like… imagine if one jury is comprised of 5 white men all aged 50+? Some acts would *never* stand a chance.

the way Sweden payola'd their way to the top

Finland, the televote's winner can't and don't have to relate to these desperate antics

And making a meme song isn't a desperate antic?

to be fair most of these participating countries are like >90% white 

but yeah I get what you're saying, more jurors would bring is more diversity in opinions. 

 

the complaint with jury I don't understand is I feel like some people want the jury vote to be exact/similar to the public vote... but the whole point of the jury is to reward technical performance, songwriting, and composition as opposed to the public who watches Eurovision while getting shitfaced drunk and vote for the most camp/ridiculous performance.

Problem is, they don't. They would literally always vote for the 08/15 pop songs and would engange in political voting. The juries are absolutely pointless at this point. The Semis this year proved very well that 100% televote brings out absolutely reasonable results.

the best song won

I disagree, having juries would have likely resulted in Latvia qualifying

I hope we have a mass Balkan return next year. Imagine if Macedonia, Montenegro, AND Bosnia was able to come back  

[khalyan]

I hope Sweden can use some of their payola coins on incentives for the other countries to come back because I'd love a big contest after this one being relatively small 

[Fevesy]

I still want TaP to handle the UK selection. Mae was not a bad choice by any means. I actually think she was screwed since we were hosting and tbh the song is better for the radio, not to watch a performance of. If that makes any sense. The performance wasn’t that great vocally either.

 

We will send a male artist again with some jury bait. The excitement in the UK was amazing to see and I don’t want Mae’s result + the jury/public discourse to set us back to what we were in the 2010s

Bulgaria too  and Turkey when they elect a new president tomorrow 

 

I want Eurovision to go back up to 42-43 contestants with tougher semi finals
