Eurovision Song Contest 2022

[UltimatColossus]

For those who want a really good fanmade version of the dance break version of SloMo they are appearing on YouTube

I’ve only listened to all the songs on monday … and what a shit year.
Spain and Malta are my favorites at the moment.

Oehooooooooooooooo ahaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Hier in de diepte hoor ik steeds maar weer je naam
Oehooooooooooooooo ahaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Oh mijn lief wat moet ik nou

 

[Alenko]

Spain and Malta are my favorites at the moment.

MALTA?!

How?

 

[UltimatColossus]

Malta heard Ashes of Yesterday from the Irish selection and said "oh yeah that's exactly what we need to send to Eurovision"

The Ukraine song is great

I think it's a fantastic year. I feel sorry for everyone thinking otherwise. It's not as 'pop banger' as a lot of 2021, but as usual we've still got a fantastic mix, with many gems.

Also there's really no clear winner and I expect a lot to change in terms of favorites. Exciting!

Good, feel sorry for me! Living in a timezone where the show starts at 3am means this snooze fest lineup is gonna mean I won't watch the show live for only the second time in my life.

Planning a Sunday afternoon party instead.

The Icelandic Carousel was the worst choice!

Fixed

 

[Gasur]

Bulgaria paying people on Cameo to say they like Intention is really straddling the line between tragic and iconic.

 

[krajol]

He's very attractive, but this song is so dreary. Can someone explain to me why Ukraine is favourite? I get that they'll get some sympathy votes etc, but the song is not even slightly good.

I think it's an amazing song, definitely in my Top 3 so I totally don't mind them winning even if it's mostly due to symphaty votes!

Ukraine needs and it is going to win as a statement.

 

[Future Lover]

Eh, I'm not sure that's exactly what needs to be done. Why not cancel the entire contest then? It's pointless knowing the winner in advance, no matter the circumstances. Especially for a festival that prides itself in barring political tracks from participating. It obviously can't exist in a vacuum, but come on...

 

[Txetxu]

Thing is, unless the juries do stiff Ukraine's entry, it will win the public vote by a landslide, I think. Its winning odds are huge at the moment (almost triple than Vrividi's).

 

[Gasur]

Odds are not guaranteed. Cyprus was favourite to win in 2018, Bulgaria in 2017, Russia in 2016.

...you realise the winning country...hosts the next contest, right?

 

[Square]

If Ukraine wins I think they'll partner with another country to host - just like the plan has always been for Australia (and San Marino I think).

I believe Germany is always floating about as a potential "surrogate" contest host.

 

[Txetxu]

...you realise the winning country...hosts the next contest, right?

I do. It will probably (and sadly thanks to the current climate) be hosted in the UK / Germany as a surrogate host.

 

[Square]

The UK if it hosted a Ukraine contest after trying to admit as few refugees as possible

 

[soratami]

No offense but a UK hosted Eurovision sounds like an absolute nightmare. I can just picture it, Anne-Marie presenting, endless cringe jokes about how wacky continental Europe is/how everyone hates the UK... No.
