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. :devil:

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

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.

 

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

10k+ comments under the Israel performance and its 99,9% positive comments .. some youtube intern working overtime to remove any negative comment :deadbanana4:

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

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.

Are y'all still complaining about the Juries when the Juries were the only people this year making sensible decisions and saved the ESC?

It wouldn’t have made a huge difference overall, but the camera error in Austria’s performance during the best part of the song probably cost them a handful of televotes. If I was the Austrian delegation, I’d be pissed

tbh that steadicam shot while they're throwing her around randomly was not good anyway, that wider shot kinda outserved since you can't see how messy it is

Not the jury vote spiraling, with France flopping vocally who even was gonna steal Nemo's 12s? :coffee: Yall can blame countries for having no competitive songs or ruining them with an awful staging (looking at Italy)

what unsensible choices have eurovision fans made this year in your opinion? is it our fault that the EBU allowed terror state israel in and that zionists saw it as a perfect propaganda opportunity?
