I’m actually surprised the rest of the world televote isn’t replacing San Marino’s fake/aggregate televote.
Eurovision Song Contest 2023 - Liverpool
- Thread starter NecessaryVoodoo
- Start date
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.
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'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.
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.

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. And a song sung in Finnish too!

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
