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

 

She would have been hit by ageism I fear, but yes it was a better entry

Post ESC depression

Okay so my full reaction

 

Switzerland: The song has never clicked with me but watching Nemo's performance, it was fantastic and one worthy of winning one, hard to deny them of the trophy

Croatia: Ngl the performance fell a bit short for me, I love the song but watching Baby Lasagna onstage never gave me that 'that's a winner right there' vibe. Glad they have achieved a new best though

Ukraine: overrated, great song/performance but not top 3 worthy. I went from being terrified of an Israel win straight to being terrified of another Ukraine win when they took over the lead and the anxiety was just too much 

France: Song is nothing special imo but Slimane was pitch perfect, hard to deny that

Israel: I actually really like the song. But I am so glad they didn't win, ESC may have went beyond the point of return if it did 

Ireland: It's well staged but I hate it tbh  just too freakshow-y for me, but love to see Ireland back in the final and so high on top of that

Italy: Angel#1na ManGOLD robbed of the win, I said what I said. Amazing song, great performance, I wish she had been on stage alone and left to command it all on her own, would've done better

Armenia: Great song but needed more movement on stage imo. Still an earworm nonetheless
Sweden: The song clicked for me when I watched the semi final performance, it's catchy af but I'm surprised they finished so high, I thought they'd get a midtable finish like Tusse

Portugal: Boring song tbh  been loving the Portuguese entries the last few years but this one does nothing for me

 

Greece: Like Sweden, this had grown on me but fully clicked when I saw it performed during the semi final. Deserved top 10

Germany: Surprised this finished so high? Isaak had amazing vocals and the song is okay but I really thought it would have gotten lost in the shuffle

Luxembourg: Most overrated song of the night. Nice but nothing special

Lithuania: Robbed, honestly thought he was on his way to a top 10 finish

UK: Deserved much much better and most certainly did not deserve 0! Like others this clicked for me when I saw it on stage

Estonia: Underrated :(

Georgia: Surprised this finished so low

Spain: ROBBED AS ****, absolutely devastated this didn't do well

Austria: Once again ROBBED

Norway: I did NOT see this coming at all. In retrospect after watching all 25 songs in a row it did get lost in the shuffle but even during the semi finals I thought this was going to snatch a top 10 finish. No idea what went wrong here

 

SF1: Azerbaijan and Iceland (especially) deserved better :( Hera did not deserve just 3 points

SF2: Czech Republic in 11th is just  I thought this was coming last. Denmark ROBBED, Belgium underrated (and surprised he finished so low) and I love you Besa even if Europe didnt </3 Malta coming last was just  not deserved

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

I mean, this whole 'apolitical' thing is a cute act, but the very inception of Eurovision was for political reasons. The show is politics, always was, always will be

 

Not to even speak about the fact we're all going to be pretty much at war with Russia in a couple years, so how does banning all countries in war work then?
 

It's also unworkable since there is always something going on somewhere in Europe, and then you'd have to decide on a yearly basis who gets to join and who doesn't

Haven't checked into Eurovision in years, think last time was like 2018 .  Loved Czechia, Estonia, Italy, Ireland, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain, and UK after listening to them. Favourite would definitely be Ireland though because I just love Bambi's performance. Usually I only like 2-3 songs from each year but it was a pretty strong year for me personally all things considered. 

 

[Cain]

This is the HIT OF THE CENTURY omg I can't believe how wrong they did her

 

The song is a major serve and her performance skills are amazing, Europe I will never forgive you

 

 

 

[Pendulum]

so that Spanish media really leaked that Czechia finished 11th

Honest vocal ***** tweets documenting the whole saga from Friday/Saturday are spilling outside the esc bubble. Maybe they are the real winner of this season

The comments under Nemo's videos putrid winner for a putrid edition I guess, glad the public is protesting

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

What is he even talking about? All I can gather from this situation is that he lost the ability to spell Israel.

[RedCarpet]

Switzerland deserved win! Great performance, vocals and idea/choreo. Outfit was terrible tho. 
 

wtf with UK, I mean he is a worldwide known singer I though he's gonna be slaying the televoting points. How was it 0? 

[BOOM!]

I can't agree that Loreen's performance was good and something iconic. It was definitely different and artsy but it simply wasn't good. And the Tattoo remix was terrible. She was also very weird vocally...

 

Highlight for me by far was the opening act with Eleni and Chanel. Eleni was so good, even tho. her performance was simpler. Chanel was just amazing in every way. Her entrance, her confidence, part when they drop her down, the throw pirouette, her vocals, the ending when they were all together... I literally get goosebumps every time, absolutely amazing! I am only mad that EBU trash didn't upload their performance on the YT channel and probably never will.

 

 

They are just not doing it like her!

Serbia needs to get her **** together, cause this is not it

Karlita is snatching PZE next year. Serbia kinda the blueprint for hyperpop at ESC if you think about it

Some random predictions:

 

- Italy wins overall, winning both the Jury and Televote 

- Netherlands <200 points in the televote 

- Israel finish Top 5 overall, 3rd in the televote 

- Sweden and Lithuania Top 10

- Australia qualify for the Grand Final and finish Top 10 with the jury

- Spain dead last in the Grand Final

- Azerbaijan and Czechia finish 11th in the Semis

- Latvia and Iceland finish dead last in the Semis 

Well at least I was right about some things 

 

Spoiler

My Angelina manifestations didn't work

Finland sends Sara Siipola > She eats up at Switzerlands jury score > Croatia wins

 

The Croatians need to be mad at Finland for sending musical terrorism!

Conveniently came out as an enby in mid-November when the Swiss representative finds out they've been selected, made it their entire personality and made sure to mention it every single time (Bambie Thug, also non-binary, said it maybe once or twice). It's the pure result of a marketing meeting and nothing more. Song is from a songwriting camp as well. While last year Loreen's victory was justified by her legend status and by the fact that the song became a smash hit, there's no way to justify 22(!) sets of 12 points from the juries for this mess and a victory from coming 5th in televote. The comments under the videos speak for themselves.

everyone talking about CRO/SWI but this was by far the biggest crime of the season, maybe of the recent years

The way it would be one of my all time ESC faves if it had entered..instead we got one of the worst

[Hot Volcano]

I wonder how many of you were rooting for Nemo only because they are non-binary

 

Croatia and Ireland had the best stage performance.

They are non binary. 

 

And the song was not it for me. 

 

But the singing and staging was a jury magnet from day1. 

 

I didn't think Croatia would have so low jury votes.. And I think that is what really didn't add up. 

 

But tbh... A lot of great songs had worse results... So.. 

 

Only 1 can win... And there will always be bitter ones because of it

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

lol Croatia gave Switzerland 1/24 which means that they strategically tanked both #2 and #3 in the odds, not because of the politics
