Me tapping my screen questioning whether there's LED screens

This post is titled: Romania is a mess

So, following the downright atrocious result of Romania's Selecția Națională last year, which saw televoters deliberately vote against Jukebox and Bella Santiago's excellent and guaranteed qualifier "Auzi Cum Bate" (I know, I know) and end up with The Humans' "Goodbye", which remains one of my least favourite entries of all time. As we all know, the evil was defeated and this rightfully flopped in Lisbon, becoming the countries first ever non-qualifier. Ha, suffer!

As a result, the broadcaster has decided to strip back the power of the televote and make their say over the final result 10% to the international jury's 90%, so they can ensure that no more buffoonery goes down...

TODAY, they revealed who would be on said international jury:

- Tali Eshkoli

- Emmelie De Forest
1f1e9_1f1f0.png

- Deban Aderemi
1f1ec_1f1e7.png

- Wiliam Lee Adams
1f1ec_1f1e7.png

- Serban Cazan
1f1f7_1f1f4.png

- Alex Calancea
1f1f2_1f1e9.png


As you can see, TWO out of the SIX international jurors are in fact from Wiwibloggs, who have repeatedly shown an inability to show impartiality (and are from the same country, which is wack in itself, but I digress). This means that Wiwibloggs have around 30% of the ENTIRE vote that will decide the Romanian entrant for Eurovision...three-times more than the entirety of the Romanian public.

BUT, it means that the chances of us getting Army of Love has increased considerably

We LOVE investigative journalism
 


Hmm seems some parts will move, the stage looks completely different in the second pic

Nnñ this is simply me projecting but we're moving to new premises at work at the moment and these stage mockups remind me of all the ambitious things that we were promised in the first technical drawings that have been quietly dropped or "revised for cost" as time progressed.

Cut to May when one of the hosts has been trapped or killed by moving parts and it's just a silver tinsel curtain blu tacked to the back wall of the stage.

Like... maybe I’m just bitter that my life doesn’t involve being tapped to participate in Eurovision national selection juries, but... are they actually respected among the Eurovision non-blog people? The few times I’ve seen them on a show, it almost seems like they’re the joke and they don’t realize it...
