Eurovision Song Contest 2023 - Liverpool

I'm literally greek and I have no idea why there wasn't a contest this year like there was in years past and they just gave it to this kid. Like, I feel for him but he's terrible.

How quickly do we think Mia and Dion will unfollow each other? Quicker than Jessica and Jenifer Brening?

He's also only 16 years old. You don't have to like the song (I certainly don't), but calling him terrible is too much.

Um, I call it as I see it. If he was too young to reach the standard of professionalism Eurovision requires, he shouldn't have been on that stage. From the clips I have seen, his performance is laughably bad.

I kinda liked Netherlands, I felt bad for them.

With Sweden, I wasn’t sure if the extreme close up was helping get across the staging. The one that “looks like a popstar, sounds like a popatar” has this in the bag i think.

I'm 100% Team Loreen, but I've put £50 on Finland winning so that - if it wins instead - I'll have the winnings to take the edge off.

I am glad that something was done about the juries but I don't like the solution they went with. If we don't trust the juries not to ruin the semis, I don't see why we should want them involved in the final either. The current system doesn't make much sense to me.

It was a small number. And those who cheated reached a new level of stupid, to think they could do what they did so obviously and think the auditors would not pick it up.

I don't really care who wins since they will be irrelevant they day after the contest anyway but I kind of like the optics of a David vs. Goliath fight. This weirdo with his demented industrial/techno/hyperpop uber banger coming out of nowhere and trouncing the maudlin histrionics of a cheesy, predictable, cynically designed to "win" Eurovision ballad by someone who is double (triple?) dipping the contest to rescuscitate a career. Like, let someone else have a go, you already tried.

 

[WowWowWowWow]

I always come back to how everyone’s new favorite enemy Martin Österdahl writes crime novels on the side, as if he wouldn’t be able to sniff out a Sammarinese corruption plot!
(and other countries, I know)

This weirdo dude with his demented industrial/techno/hyperpop uber banger coming out of nowhere and trouncing the maudlin histrionics of a cringy, predictable Eurovision ballad aimed by someone who is double (triple?) dipping in Eurovision to rescuscitate a non existent career.

This. And a song sung in Finnish too!

 

[WowWowWowWow]

As much as I’d love the drama of it, they do still follow each other

Let's remember how things sound on someone's smart phone in the arena with no audience, is not how it will sound through the TV to everyone watching.

I was in the Arena last night and have just watched it back, it's very different. With the production now permitted it's unlikely anyone will end up sounding terrible.

Every Eurovision I'm reminded how awful / insane spainish twitter stans are.
Anytime im asked to google translate a tweet, I know it will be , at best, some ott bitchy comment or at worst a comment towards another contestant that makes it seem like they want them dead.

Or you can just enjoy the show?

A) winners aren't irrelevant the day after.
B) this thinly veiled sexism really ain't it but that's nothing new for your posting history

 

[popdorian]

Agree that the Alyosha/Rebecca Ferguson interlude was incredible.

Chatted with my manager today, I said Finland and Sweden were my favourites and asked which she liked best.

"Croatia".

 

[soratami]

I don't think it's quite fair to say Loreen is doing Eurovision in attempts to resuscitate her career either really. She's already been concerned about maintaining a big pop girl profile since her win.

 

[cjwhite1]

Mae slayed tonight!!

 

[Jamie]

Sexism in what way? Because I used the word dude? The point is thay he's a weirdo, a misfit, an unusual choice for an entry, I would say the exact same thing if it was a woman singing the same song with the same style. But I'm glad you follow me enough to presume to know my posting history and project your preoccupations on me.

Stop posting this is embarrassing g
