Anthinos Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 I feel sorry for Olly. He didn't do anything wrong and his performance wasn't bad. He didn't end up in the bottom 5 either. I hope it has no impact on the future. Here in Germany, our HOD once said that bigger artists often don't dare to go to Eurovision because they are afraid of a media shitstorm. Nobody should have to fear for their career. There are 26 countries but only 10 top 10 places. Someone has to end up at the back. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true, but it's logical to expect more from established artists. Look at Nutsa - you could see that she has experience in performing because of how she commanded the stage. Olly didn't look any more confident than, say, Baby Lasagna, whose first live performance ever was in February Not to mention the embarrassing vocals in the semi-final performance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dumbsparce Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 I feel like the jury galvanized behind Switzerland bc it was the safest bet. They hoped it'd do well enough in televoting to prevent Israel from winning, unlike Croatia whose "novelty" might had not translate in votes or Ukraine who won very recently. If that was their strategy, personally I'd prefer if they did it for France but alas. Also, why do we expect a whats-his-name resignment? What did he do?

It be like that in every big 5 country sans Italy tbh While some countries send their best and biggest superstars (Italy- and France one every blue moon) the rest just send newbies who would do anything to get exposure because established artists wouldn't dare to risk their status and the media frenzy that comes with it. You can see that in their placings. Edited May 13 by igninton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, most of them are afraid to find out that their careers, for the most part, have been artificially manufactured and sustained by music labels, promotional machinery and the co. Rita Ora is a well known example, and Olly is, unfortunately, another good example. I think they are rightfully afraid for their careers. There are so many extremely talented people that can't come forward because others are being (regularly) shoved down everyone's throat. Again, Rita Ora is an excellent example. I like Olly, he was my fifth favourite, but let's not pretend like he was ever a "bigger artist." In the UK he's had approx. 3 hit singles, and that was in 2015/2016. Outside of UK, Y&Y unfortunately didn't achieve anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Germany just needs to get Stefan Raab back to do the pre-selection, they did well every time he was involved you dont need established artists to win eurovision, no one actually cares about that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byzantium Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 I can't believe so many of you want to get rid of the Juries when the televote was ready to hand the win to Israel. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igninton Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Also the EBU needs to start investigating Cyprus bc something is fishy with the televote. I can't choose with Cyprus entry I hate the most between 2023 and 2024 and I don't buy the televote points they scored, someone's pulling an Azerbuyjan, me thinks.

Fevesy Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 I said it before and I'll say it again. I feel like one of the Little Mix girls is coming to represent the UK next year since they are all starting their solo careers and they're all kinda flopping. Well, maybe not now cause Olly is getting lashed. Jesy Nelson is coming for 2nd highest UK televote score this decade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chemist Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Olly should quit making music. He cannot sing at all and the quality of his music has gone down dramatically since debut He is talented though, he was incredible in "It's a Sin" so why not pursue something that you are actually good at?

Gwendolyn Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 I want Griff to represent the UK next year; unfortunately, I think many younger artists will avoid the contest like a plague for a few years due to the Shanganians and association with Israel this year. It's not worth risking their mostly socially aware fanbases 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leigh Anne is not the greatest at live, Jesy is Jesy and Jade may overdo the camp like Olly did this year (but she could have a Chanel moment with the right song).

I would never pay to see him live though. Each country needs to make sure it chooses strong live performers to represent them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
