Hurem Posted May 13 Posted May 13 Zagreb 2025 would be a literal dream come true, ugh. Not only would I be attending, there was a high chance of getting to be a part of the production crew. **** EBU for rigging the contest for yet another rich country 7 1 1
POPTART Posted May 13 Posted May 13 I'm ready for another messy season, especially as the cost of this edition will be high.
queenp Posted May 13 Posted May 13 not that is ever going to happen but would you like something like this from Italy?

velocity Posted May 13 Posted May 13 what is the timeline for eurovision infos coming out? like how long before the the festivals are being held and the contestants are determined? 14 hours ago, Fevesy said: Yeah it's a dream of mine to go too. I had a bunch of savings in my bank account but I just had to fork most of them to save my cats life this week. Let's manifest somewhere cheaper for 2026! omg is your cat okay?

Usually we get some songs/artist announcements and NF details in November-December sometimes way earlier. Belgium artist announcement was pretty early last year, August I think. January and February are prime season for National Finals and announcements. Yess he's fine now, getting back to his old self. He had to have emergency surgery as he got really sick all of a sudden, wasn't eating and barely moving and it turns out he had ate a bunch of elastic hair bands and some of his small toys idk what went through his mind. 2

Hurem Posted May 13 Posted May 13 2 minutes ago, velocity said: do you think there's a chance that croatia will withdraw next year? Realistically, no, I don't think we will withdraw. I know HRT was on the verge of canceling Dora due to its high costs compared to our Eurovision results, so I can see Baby Lasagna's result raising their interest in Eurovision as well. On the other hand, there is a very small chance we might withdraw because this was our all-or-nothing moment. We've never invested more money in Eurovision than we did this year, and it might be demotivating to see that the juries were the reason we didn't win. 1

With the UK having a good result then back to back flops I fear that internal selection should not be the approach next year. No artist with anything to lose is going to go for it for a while and there is absolutely no reason why we can't have our own Baby Lasagna cinderella story moment (except the part where his song was put in the reserves list ) but the BBC needs to take it super seriously which I don't trust them to.
getinthezone Posted May 13 Posted May 13 when did they start muting boos from the audience? its kinda sick, they had no issue in the past letting people boo Russia

Gogetonthebus Posted May 13 Posted May 13 I think there will be some organizational reshuffling on the EBU team. Whether or not Martin remains is up in the air, but I can't imagine he wants to do this again. He's the face of the contest for EBU, and I wonder if he will ever be received warmly by fans ever again. Otherwise, my hunch is that they will take this opportunity to further crack down on press accreditations and delegations.

Yeah they need to. They wont trust OGAE Austria this year to weigh their opinion cause they are the ones leaked Jesus Will Rave (and presumably Edgar too) so it'll just be actual people from the broadcaster to stop the leaks.

Austria is trying too hard to appeal to the fandom. The fandom support can only get you so far. (so far meaning bottom 5 with the televote)
