Her husband did her staging as well as Cyprus so that's my suspicion as to why she changed it.. and yeah, her husband was the one in charge of the internal Austrian selection and showed it to OGAE Austria members as part of the voting process and one of them leaked it (and is probably the source of the demo leaking too)

 

Now you might think it's suspicious that her husband was in charge of the internal selection, but it was the same last year and she lost to Teya & Selena - also someone who saw all the potential songs said that We Will Rave was the best one by far and most of the songs were garbage  According to her, she choreographed this whole audition but after she got selected she got some other choreographer from the UK to do it so she could focus on everything else that goes with this process.

 

It's honestly upsetting watching that video and seeing what we got in the end. It just needed to be tidied up in areas and a better dance break and it was solid for Eurovision. I was sooo excited for months to see it on the stage 

It's so interesting how much goes on behind the scenes that casual viewers know nothing about. I didn't really know the story behind Kaleen's participation, just saw that gif a couple of times, so thanks for telling me about it all!! I feel for you, it's a shame someone else ended up choreographing the Eurovision performance too since she herself is a choreographer. They could've at least worked around her original ideas instead of scrapping them altogether

Honestly, the jury should account for more than 50% of the vote. It is quite literally the only way to prevent wins like Israel 2024 (?) and Ukraine 2022 from happening. 

But the girls were complaining last year when the jury tanked Cha x 3

WHEN DO THEY OPEN THE ROTW VOTE FFS

Says delayed until they finish with the Joost investigation. Since we are paying the local equivalent of 0.99 Euros for each vote, they don't want to have a situation where they'd have to refund the voting fee.

The heck

Remember when Italy couldn't make Cornelia's spinning circle work but Nemo's hydraulic disc works flawlessly now.

they have to check the antibooing tech with different volumes and frequencies

[Mordecai]

The fact that they might disqualify Joost but didn't disqualify the countries in 2022 who were CAUGHT CHEATING is a ******* joke

 

Just show the semi final performance and ban him from attending if need be, but there's no need to disqualify the entire country

[Bloodflowers.]

Will they ban Israeli's delegation for harrassing other delegations and artists? They literally film themselves provocating others

Happy Eurovision Day everybody!!! 

 

I hope you will enjoy the show tonight 

 

I have to say this has been the best contest in YEARS , i was checking now the order and apart from 5-6 fillers , the rest are all great entries 

 

 

At this point is very clear Croatia is going to be the winner (having in my mind Switzerland and Israel as surprise winners ) 

 

I would have loved if there was a huge battle between 5-6 counties for the win since if you ask me Personally its really a close battle theoretically between Croatia , Switzerland, Ukraine, Italy & Greece JUST to be more entertained tonight but especially the last 2 failed to impress 

 

I kind of rooting for Israel only for the drama it will cause and what can bring the next day to this competition but since i most probably lost my money i dont really care who's gonna win

Not confirmed, but several reliable insiders reported that it got nothing to do with Israel, and Swedish media reported that he had a physical confrontation with a Swedish photographer.

Rooting for Israel. I stopped reading there. 

 

[zzmyth]

If the Italian drama wouldn't have happened I feel like we would be talking about 5 or 6 countries battling. 

 

Now, obviously... All the efforts are gonna be, either go with the only one with options of winning over israel, so all the votes for Croatia. 

 

Or the other way around, go and vote Israel just for the heck of it. 

 

So... It's Croatia or death at this point

The thing is, Hurricane is not even a good song. It's generic crap full of cliches. The contemporary dancing is stupid. Eden's voice is fine but it's not particularly memorable or distinctive. 

You're literally describing the majority of Eurovision entries that ever participated. Is this your first one?

[Mellark]

Just caught up because I was at work when it aired live for both semis and honestly my favorites were Switzerland, Armenia, Croatia, Ukraine, Denmark, Portugal, and Greece based on the SFs. 

 

I think the EBU's consequences of their own actions might or might not show tomorrow. We will see. I predict a country who never won it before will win it. I would be here for it. Remember, the odds the last time in Stockholm gave a Russia victory, but Ukraine took it.

Nemo (Switzerland) at 15% in the odds now! Up three points since last night (jury final)

Their jury odds are at 44%, but televote 1%

I think the anti-jury girlies need to reconsider because I am glad we have juries and televoting to balance it out. But I think it will be fine.
