The Eurovision Song Contest Thread


Recommended Posts

Well Croatia was voted by all the Balkan/ex Yugoslavian countries so 

I'm judging everyone who voted for that hot mess! 

At least last year "Lighthouse" was a good song but Nina looked tragic with that dress. This year the song was tragic and he looks tragic.

Lmao Portugal won fair and clear and it wasnt for the heart problem when he is not the first, not the second and not even the third one with a heart problem participating in the contest, the perfomance was AMAZING and it capture the audience, many people on twitter was in love with the perfomance, and other thinks is a boring ballad. 

 

I agree 100% with him being annoying and think he is making real music and the rest is trash.

 

And as an spanish, it was clear we would be bottom, but oh my god he did terrible lol, he never went out of tune in the song, and he has to do it in the final hahaha. Thanks Portugal for the 5 points.

 

Italy perfomance was very underwhelming and it was my favorite for the final. Not always the favorite win, and when the rehearsals started Italy was not convinced, while Portugal and Bulgaria climb up.

 

 And Il Volo was shit, that lyrical shit was from 2007 man. I cant believe many people love that song, is awful in my opinion.

 

About Lebanon participating, that would be great!! They tried in 2005 and even choose the singer and song. Too bad they were so stupid wanting to ban Israel perfomance, I mean, Armenia and Azerbaiyan broadcast each other song, is just a perfomance, dont vote for that song and thats it lol.

 

The lebanese song

My favorite Italian performance was the year that they came back; 2011 with "Maddness Of Love" , then when Marco Mengoni represented them with "L'essenziale". I wish that instead of Il Volo, NEK was the one representing ITL that year.

You know who I feel bad for? The poor guy from Austria. He had a nice, sympathatic song, he looks like a really decent dude and he really seemed pretty devastated when they announced Austria got 0 points from the televote.

We did this. And we deserve our punishment by the actual winner making an arrogant dick acceptance speech.

Yeah. :( He seemed like a really sweet guy. At least the jury liked him.

Skipping the whole Portugal issue since his fanbase have decided to plant themselves in the thread and have decided what real music is.

 

 

What do you guys feel about the votes being revealed?

I thought Hungary was decent but the juries did not like it as much.

Lost in Verona captured the televoters but not the juries, I didn't like the song as much until towards the end.

Also Bulgaria's votes were extremely high for their semi, it had me shook how big the gap was

omg at San Marino having 0 Jury point and 1 televote...  I think it's time for San Marino to drop out...

Interesting how different were the results for Australia from jury and televote. My friend told me jury is pushing Australia really hard to make them a winner so they can kick Australia out of the competition, lol.

 

Also, do any of you know what happened to that Asiavision idea where Australia + Asian countries would have their own Eurovision contest?

I feel bad for anyone winning 0 points, that must be awful, but personally I din't like Austrian entry, it was too Ed Sheeran-ish and nothing exceptional for me.

I think he deserved it, to be honest. It's a shame that 2 points from the televote. I think something strange was around that.

A lot of people still think Australia shouldn't participate...that's why

No, its because Australian song is nothing special and he sang so bad, almost at the level of Spain. The joke here is how always the juries gives so many points to Australia no matter what. I was so happy when the televote make justice and gives only 2 points. They get a top 10 even with that low score though, ew. 

 

The votes with the old system, Portugal still slay.

I liked it too. As I said his voice gave me goosebumps, which is pretty good. It was a very warm song, very positive.

 

Yes, indeed, it's positive, warm and affectionate. It's also fine meme material at the same time it is a quite impressive vocal performance. In that sense, he is the Cezar (Romania, 2013) of the second half of the decade. It was the biggest surprise in the contest for me.

It was a bad year. The competition was boring. And there weren't many great songs, near 0. It would be great to force idols to sing in their languages, it starts being totally annoying to listen near everyone singing in English.

I disagree with you, I think this year was very good, I even like a little more than last year. However, the organization was terrible, the host were awful (they improved a little bit in the final though), the green room host english was worse than mine, the camera work was also very bad. Along with Malmo 2013 and Viena 2015, one of the worst esc of this decade.

 

Funny that the only country that gave zero points to Bulgaria was Ukraine. I wonder why...

 

Because Rusia lol, also he openly criticize the Yulia ban. 

 

The juries votes were more neihbour and political than the televoting lmao.

And the televote of these two years? I did not understand that form of voting.

The voting itself did not change. They just separated the juries from the televoters. In the traditional way they would combine the standings of the countries set in jury's vote and televote and announce the combined set of points from each country. Now, first they announce the points according to the jury rating, and then they announce the points according to the televoters rating.

 

 

what are your guys faviourote winners ever?

 

My two favorite winners were the song (Serbia 2007)  - Molitva and (Denmark 2013) - Only Teardrops. Usually I fill my music player with songs that did not win. But those two were on replay at some point.

The old method was combined:

 

UK - 10 points from jury, 0 from televote = 10 points, 3º

 

Russia - 8 points from jury, 7 televote = 15 points, 1º

 

Spain - 1 point jury, 12 televote = 13 points 2º

 

Russia gets the 12, Spain 10 and UK 8.

 

The new method just gets all the points, not combined. So Russia gets 15, Spain 13 and UK 10.

 

 

One of the portuguese jury confirmed he voted reverse by mistake haha. Ramon Galarza is his name. https://eurovision.tv/event/kyiv-2017/grand-final/voting-details/portugal
