I'm not getting the 'bring back juries in the semis so there's no runaway jury winner' comments. 

 

Which of this year's NQs would've qualified with juries help, and then made a dent in Switzerland getting 22 12pts there?

 

I think the point is that with jury-less semi's countries will be more inclined to send a public vote friendly song (as we saw in the semi's) than a jury friendly song. So therefor there weren't a lot of jurybaits in the semi's to begin with, so they all went to Switzerland in the final

The production was trash compared to 2016. The flag parade alone isn't even close. 

 

They really half-a$$ed this

They relied a lot on guest performers this year. 

Israel's 2019 flag parade is still the best opening of a final ever.

I'm happy for Switzerland because they haven't won for decades and Eurovision is coming back to a German-speaking country. However, I feel sorry for Croatia and I also think the current voting system is problematic.

 

I am not against juries. I do believe that we need juries. Especially smaller countries like San Marino and Malta have difficulties to qualify and would benefit from juries. The problem is that juries often favour one country. Last year Sweden, this year Switzerland. Personally, I find it very strange how much unity there is. Switzerland was good and deserved to win the jury, but with so many points? It's time for a new voting system.

Because they knew Croatia would NOT win

And what's the last ~joke act that won televote anyway? Finland and Estonia this year weren't even top 10, and they're the most jokey acts we've had in a while

For real. Y'all need to stop calling Käärijä and Baby Lasagna "joke acts" just because they perform fun Industrial/Eurodance songs that millions of people enjoy.

tbh i'm kinda tired of the narrative that having fun and entertaining acts cheapens the contest. people who don't respect eurovision for what it is won't suddenly be swayed that this is some serious classical music event. just because something is fun or 'jokey' doesn't mean it cannot be well produced music or artistry.

 

and nobody has been tuning into eurovision for classic, serious music in decades. people follow because they want to hear good music and be entertained. i'm not opposed to having some sort of system in place that ensures that even less 'popular' countries or countries without big diaspora have a chance. but if you have a jury where clearly something is going on in the background that's causing everyone to mass vote one artist you're cheapning the experience for the audience who is finanicing this show. what's the incentive for me to vote or follow along if other musicians get to decide the fate of the contest. then i might as well watch any other talent show that is not financed with my money

The fact is that there was not a single joke act that won during the televote-only era.

I'm sure Agnetha is the one who didn't want to do it. She doesn't like being in the limelight, I heard she lives somewhere rather remote as well.

Olly wouldn't have scored ZERO points had he gone to ESC with a masterpiece from this album

Agree 100%, I totally see why it won the jury vote but the amount of 12 points?? Definitely strange

I also think most pro-Palestine people wouldn't want to give it a view and don't care about the perfomance enough to leave a comment

 

[Imagine Dragon]

So, 5 editions in a row (since 2019) haven't been organized in a capital city, which is a historical record for Eurovision.

 

I would bet Switzerland would continue that trend.
