event Eurovision Song Contest 2024 | Switzerland wins!

[Kristie Kuwa]

What the EBU needs to do is to not allow any participation of countries at war. No Israel, no Russia, no Ukraine. These political issues always tarnish the whole experience and result in the focus of the competition being on anything BUT the music.

I MISSED THE NETHERLANDS SO MUCH THO

[tost1]

Switzerland wasn't that big of a stand out to warrant all of those 12s lbr, like ok, I get it that the juries liked it but all of them having it at the top was weird

yeah let's ban a country that was literally invaded by the world's largest nuclear power that needs soft cultural power like Eurovision to keep people aware and fight for its existence

In my books Loreen won last night.  

 

That performance was stunning...... so beautiful. I have never seen a performance like that. 

 

She moved her body so beautifully. 

 

I can only imagine how hard it was to sing live. 

 

 

 

 

[kellebrity98]

my summary of the top 10: 

 

1. Switzerland: i'm so happy for them, one of my faves, well deserved

2. Croatia: i liked this song but imo the NED DQ helped them cause many of them supported the Croatian act after DQ

3. Ukraine: surprised but i prefer this song over their previous acts

4. France: i just don't get it. beautiful vocals but overall this over Greece? meh.

5. I-reland: YES, i supporters them from the first second the song got revealed and happy to see how they said *** the odds and getting their best position after 20 years 

6. Italy: LA NOIA. A bop, we'll deserved, i love love love her

7. Armenia: wow wow, happy for them, their song remind me of the football theme songs with those chants 

8. Sweden: i underpredicted them, but so happy, well deserved

9. Portugal: not my cup of tea but she has beautiful vocals

10. GREECE: MARINAAAA, MY QUEEN. YOU DID IT, MY FAVE FAVE THIS YEAR I AM SO PROUD OF YOU 

 

And JOOST: lysm, prob a top 3-5 act or maybe higher but we won't know now so sad for him, Europapa is such a bop, I missed him from the final sm

 

(sorry bjt I can't count the k*illers, buying votes just to end up high in the televote and promoting yourself in middle east youtube ads to get some pity votes is not counting to me)

Yeah because it diverts the focus. U can still show solidarity and everything, but the focus should be the music and competition

televoters did Spain and Austria so dirty

televoters did Spain and Austria so dirty 

yeah people were rushing to vote for a handful of artist in order to sabotage israel

 

 

[blown away]

It's wild how people in here went from

 

Complaining about the jury

to

Begging that the juries concentrate their votes on one country to offset the massive televote Israel would get

to

Complaining about the jury for doing exactly that 

 

I do agree it's sad for Croatia that they didn't win, but don't blame this on the juries. Blame the EBU and Israel for this. If they hadn't included Israel in the first place, the path for a Croatia win would've been clear.

 

EDIT: Congrats at Switzerland, great song and performance

How can y'all see Isr**l being 2nd in the public vote and NOT be thankful for the jury vote??

Because at every single Eurovision, the juries are the root problem of all the drama, fighting and bitterness that ensue on Sunday. The voting should be weighted 25% jury, 75% televote. We essentially got the same scenario as last year and I'm sorry but Switzerland being 5th in the televote is really not a cute look for anybody. The general public will become more and more disenfranchised if the public winner gets the crumbs.

But now we've said it!! Ukraine can stay but the EBU should really keep a close eye on them because at this point I'm tired of all the covert and overt political notes they bring. 

 

The other two can be banished out of Eurovision forever.

I love Loreen but that performance was awful. It was hardly audible what language she was singing. Almost as if she was just humming the songs. 

[BlackoutZone]

We are FREE from another Rammstein rip off, bless

Angelina should have won, but Nemo ate too

 

the best song by far was Marina's anyway, but perhaps it was too ahead of its time for some people

[kellebrity98]

BY THE WAY when Greece gave 12 points to Switzerland and they gave theirs to Greece and hugging each other was the MOMENT FOR ME. I actually predicted that since their friendship was so unique, my faves

Our nepo moon princess was cute, faceless ESC banger, she could have made it to the finals tbh

[kellebrity98]

 

ohno luktelk is such a bop, sad he had to go through this 

[Bloodflowers.]

Proud of Croatia for giving ZERO points to Israel from both jury and televote, others cannot relate

[Fevesy]

I'm still saying that the jury situation wouldn't have been so bad if they split more between France and Switzerland and it would have been enough for Croatia to win in that case. However, France jury show performance was a complete mess and Nemo did all that and didn't crack once so.

 

I still support a higher televote pull but with this years shenanigans let me just be quiet and happy that the juries saved this shitshow by tanking Israel 

[illia]

Alyona and Jerry released a new song that they applied for Vidbir, along with Teresa & Maria

They prefered this song instead of T&M, but it wasn't chosen

Justyna would've made it to Top 10 with WITCH-ER this year but Polish TV broadcast keeps sabotaging two years in a row

Yh I can see that. There were some major flaws. The last couple of 2 minutes she really lost control of her vocals. The intro went on a bit too long. 

 

But I still really love it from a artistic and aesthetic point of view. 

 

Like she was planking for 6 minutes straight while belting her lungs out. I mean... I think she consciously chose her vision over vocals.
