1 day until Eurovision
1 day until Eurovision
MY TOP 3
Albania
ABSOLUTE KINO. Was my top pick on Tuesday even when I didn't know what they were singing about. Now, I love it even more.
Fire! Fall upon our tribal wild dances. In the darkness, we hunger for light. Endlessly searching.
10/10
Sweden
Just a couple sauna bros spreading joy. Nothing pretentious. No "message" being preached. Everything is top notch.
Ei saa peittää
KEK "do not cover". I've seen that on a few radiators.
Estonia
He, as the kids say, understood the assignment. This song just makes me happy! Also, I watched a few interviews with him and he's such a nice and genuine dude.
No stresso, no stresso, no need to be depresso
Tommy solves mental health. Therapists on suicide watch.
Swap Estonia with Finland and you have my top. This year is pretty kino if you ask me
why did he do it bros?
For me, it's Estonia, Luxembourg, and Sweden.
>Ei saa peittää
KEK "do not cover". I've seen that on a few radiators.
That's exactly why "ei saa peittää" is a fairly well-known phrase in Sweden. KAJ chose "Perkele", "ei saa peittää", and "yksi kaksi kolme" because those are the most famous Finnish phrases in Sweden
I'm pooping on my son la lalala laalaa
Luxembourg is a good shout. I'm actually surprised I like it because I usually hate these sort of "sugary" entries and I can't stand anything Fr*nch
Hoping for German win because the girl is cute.
Was it autism?
FOR ME IT'S
SWEDEN
SAN MARINO
LUXEMBOURG
Switch sweden for germany and estonia for france
Luxembourg has it all. Cute song, good message, pretty singer, good choreography, incredible staging, has a dance rhythm and all and the climax is great. It's only problem is that the vocals are kinda weak when she gets into the more demanding dance moves
greek song over 1 million views
threads filled with greeks
Why are there so many greeks into eurovision? I thought Greece was a macho conservative country
good message
What do you guys think of our entry?
macho culture consist in being the gayest in denial
this could have been an all white contest if it wasnt for you
well...
how can I put it...
nooo les femmes should be oppressed ALLAH AKB-ACK!
Can I finally retire? Will someone take over the squilliam bit next year?
Can we enter Eurovision next year? If Australia can compete, why not us?
I like our song best, but wouldn't be mad if Estonia wins. Similar vein.
Why doesn’t he sing in Dutch?
Your song is like Estonia’s song sung by people that can actually sing
On the Satanic spectacle of Eurovision from an Orthodox Christian perspective
is it worth betting my house for sweden, austria and finland to be top 5?
Heed my warning, anons. Do not succumb to the demonic rituals of Eurovision. They like to have people watch because more people watching = more energy given to the ritual.
They do this in all kinds of big public events.
pop/rap concerts
Super Bowl half time shows
9/11
etc.
ESPRESSO MACCHIATO MACCHIATO MACCHIATO
Meh, I think he sings alright. Maybe a bit nervous in the semi-finals. I hadn't noticed anything.
Should submit the tune at the beginning.
finland might be a stretch but yes for the other 2
2024
There's no Irish tranny THIS year. Overall seems a bit comfier. I don't believe in all this religion and satanism stuff but I do notice it.
2021 I GIVE MY HEART TO EL DIABLO
2022 SHE DANCES WITH THE DEVIL, SO WHAT
2023 BLOOD AND GLITTER, SAINT AND SINNER
Do not be deceived!
Bambie was great thoughever
replying to a yankoid in a eurovision thread
The sad thing is, many people want to bring demons into this world.
The good thing is, no matter how hard they try, demons don't actually exist.
la poupée monte le son, na na na na, retiens bien la leçon
There's "heittää" in there which means to throw, but it works if you hear it as "hetta" (to heat) in Swedish too: "Throw/heat on so that the sweat just whirls around". Wonder if it's deliberate. Bit sneaky in that case.
"Bastubröder är je vi som glöder" sounds like "Bastubröder, det är vi som glöder" (Sauna brothers, we're the ones who glow) too. Actually some dialectal stuff.
demons don't actually exist.
They are happy for you to think that.
Just shooting the shit on a Friday evening mate. Gimme a break today.
So are they gonna mute the sound so everything sounds like shit in the final as well?
I don’t get Zjerm
And I am happy for them to think that they REALLY ARE hurting me by reciting some voodoo bullshit. Oh, I'm so scared! Please don't eat my ass, spirits!
What are the most kino entries from previous years?
:(
demonic talons typed this
Don't mind mean anon :(
Take your meds
It’s ok. His country will score 0 televote points again
noooooooooooooooooooo
so the jury show was done tonight (the performance which the juries rank countries for) so here are some of the performances according to Xitter
luxembourg
stable as in the semi, improved some notes
Israel
booed and didn't sing a high note that she failed previously
Lithuania
did very well vocally
Ukraine
apparently had a cold and flopped some notes. improved camerawork
Austria
better than the semi
Latvia
as good as the semi
Netherlands
not very stable vocally
Finland
staging worked better than the semi
Italy
solid performance
Poland
really strong vocally but there was some weird fuck ups with the camera
Germany
Shaky vocals at the beginning, but better in the chorus, comparing to the semi. Shaky again during the last chorus.
Switzerland
Confident and solid performance
Denmark
Did exceptionally well and people think it's gonna score high with the juries
Sweden
Expectedly good
will post about France, San Marino and Albania
Just off the top of my head...
SOARELE SOARELE, SOARELE SI LUNA
Euro Neuro don't be sceptic, hermetic
OP OP OP OVO JE BALKAN
And of course, who can forget
OUT OF THE EMBERS, YOU AND I GONNA LIGHT UP THE ROOM (yeah. you. and. I. gonna light up the room)
Absolutely. Especially so during Israel and Malta. Won’t stop a few front row pally flags during Israel’s performance though
Tradition must be upheld.
Unfathomably based Moldova 2023 enjoyer
Bara Bada Basturma
I hope we do. Can't stand those dumb bints.
There is not a single straight man in the world who likes Eurovision. Not a one.
Alcohol is Free
Looks like a good bastu snack.
They’re cute slags
Unfathomably based.
It's staggering how much duller the contest feels now that so many Eastern Europeans have left. We took their kino for granted :(
Has anyone said anything about Estonia? I hope Tommy improved his SHIT vocals at least a little bit because I really like the song and I want it to do well
France
was her best performance tonight and it looks like she might be top 3 with the juries
Greece
flawless vocal performance as during the semi
San Marino
really really warm crowd reception and the singers did good. not a huge jury favourite
Are the juries unfairly biased against dj’s?
doesn't sound like it's much different than his semi performance
the only ones I've heard that "flopped" were Germany, Norway, Israel and Poland though the latter was due to some malfunction in the staging
For the vast majority of them, they’re just out because they’re poor. They want to come back and probably will if they get their finances sorted out. Russia, Hungary, and Turkey are never coming back thigh, which is a shame because they always sent kino
youtu.be
The decent outcome
Sweden wins
The based outcome
Estonia wins (please let it happen)
The realistic outcome
Fucking juries give everything to Austrian faggot and the public gets fucked over for the third year in a row
The GIGABASED outcome
Public goes heavy on Sweden, Juries go heavy on Austria, neither is enough to get the win on their own but their combined appreciation of KINO Albania leads to Total Albanian Victory and Tirana 2026 bankrupts the whole country but hey at least it was good while it lasted
Sweden finally has a kino song after all these years
the singers are Fennoswedes
Makes sense.
*though
Fucking juries give everything to Austrian faggot and the public gets fucked over for the third year in a row
I'm doubting this more and more as time goes on. I'm convinced that the margin between Austria and France will be very low.
I think the jury votes will really be divided amongst austria, sweden, france, albania and greece so there's a chance for Finland to contest for victory if she wins the televote
i haven't watched Eurovision since 2012. is it worth watching this year?
x.com
polan bros...
This year is pretty weak desu
speaking of KINO
Portugal 2024 was a MASTERPIECE but you all SLEPT on it because you only want CHEAP DOPAMINE like the BRAINROTTED COOMERS you are. There, I said it.
>Germany
Shaky vocals at the beginning, but better in the chorus, comparing to the semi. Shaky again during the last chorus.
i hope pretty privilege gives her a few televotes at least
juries act like its a singing contest not a song contest
Eh, it's a pretty average year but there are a few kino entries, like Finland, Sweden, Estonia, Albania, Germany, and Iceland. Watch the 2021 grand final if you need to be sold on Eurovision
;_;
last year
ugly guy, great vocals
this year
pretty girl, bad vocals
maybe next year, krautbro
Ukrainan commentator was SEETHING when they were showing the Russian grandmas in a montage on Tuesday, and when called out, seethed even more (pic related "be a good boy and go fuck yourself"). They just can't help themselves.
Why do ukranians hate russians so much?
there was a ukrainian counter strike player who had a picture uploaded shaking hands with his russian childhood friend (both like 18 years old) and he got death threats by the ukrainians
a true mystery
Her choreography really stood out in our national contest but I could totally see her flopping with the eurovision televote. Among 24 other songs far more competitive than low budget festival da canção, her song is not so memorable.
Still, she did much better than I expected on the jury vote.
you do realize that the jury votes based upon their performance at the jury show / full show run-through .... right?
it's not based on their clean studio enhanced release from months prior; it's always been this way
... do you think the viewers are voting based on the song and not how well they perform it live?
you are just upset because while the studio release is good (and the remix is better) she, while quite hot, simply can't sing the song live
There was an incident between Polish and Israeli journalists in the press centre during the Thursday's semi final. It was reported by Maciej Mazański, a well known Polish Eurovision journalist with over ten years of experience in the contest.
The situation began during Israel's performance. Some of the Polish journalists were watching it with flags on their heads, essentialy Joost Klein style. A small act of protest, but nothing rule-breaking or offensive.
At this point, an Israeli journalist approached the Polish media team and took a photo of them. Mazański saw it and informed the rest of the team but they initially decided to let it slide.
After some time, another Israeli journalist approached them and asked one of the Polish journalists why they were covering their head with a flag. When they denied doing that, the Israeli journalist showed them the photo he took, essentially admitting to taking this photo without consent.
Things started to flare up and many members of the Polish team began asking the journalist why did he take this photo without their consent. Then, sensing the rising tensions, Israeli journalist began filming the Polish team. That was the breaking point. One of the Polish journalists yanked the phone from the Israeli's hands and took it to the EBU station.
Mazański says that the EBU and Dave Goodman reacted properly to the situation. Goodman informed the Israeli journalist that he broke the code of conduct and made him delete all photos and videos.
that feel when no spunky Armenian qt gf who sings in her own language
too thin
I'm not really talking about the televote as much as the anons on here. I remember being in the sticky as it was happening and everyone was posting "meh", "boring", "piss break". I couldn't believe it.
Germany is criminally underrated, other than that only Sweden and Latvia are tolerable. One of the worst years I can remember and I'm old as fuck.
How do you think France will do with the jurors?
maybe next year, krautbro
still hope one day we can actually send one of our proper electronic acts there
youtube.com
uh oh watch out for the azeri anon and his ceaseless foaming at the mouth
Israel got a warning for this shit last year. Potential DQ?
Good post
I hope Laika never died and that she spins around us still and that she has a party in the air and always will
I hope that she's dancing every night among the stars
I hope Laika is alive
Laika party in the sky
Laika party in the sky
Bam bam bam bam bam bam
We will be in the top 10
That's for sure
I don't even know much about what's happening in Gaza but wouldn't it just be so much easier for everyone if Israel didn't participate? Even if I look at it from Israel's perspective, they want to garner sympathy by sending sad ballads and buying ads telling everyone to vote for them, but their behaviour and antics are actually making the public's opinion of them worse, thereby ruining the whole point of participating in the first place.
What song?
Ireland
>Irish entry
>norwegian singer
>song about russian dog
To some it's patriotic
But to most of us it's just a tradition every year
I have been writing a Eurovision story for two years now
But no progress and frankly, I want to rewrite it, make it a romance between a lonely male singer and an energetic female singer from a different country
Heroes
Armenia and Azerbaijan enemies to lovers.
>song about russian dog
Oh yeah, continuing on the subject of Ukrainians seething...
bur man laimi is a great song, and the latvian fairies probably give good head.
freddo espresso with medium sugar
Electrogeneric pop trash that became outdated after less than 2 years

Isn’t the “Russian woman” literally Tommy’s girlfriend?
Wait, you might be joking but that could be an interesting premise...

RIP to Agathonas Iakovidis, the big mustache man :(
why do Ukrainians always screech and demand the whole world cares and pays attention to those slavic shitholes fighting
Finland and Albania made perfect performances in the jury show
One of these countries needs to win or else eurovision is over
>don't drink coffee
he was 58 years old during alcohol is free
No, that's referring to Alina Pasok, who directed the clip and the stage performance. She was also the director for Little Big back in the day.
For me it's asnete
Always go for the leader of the pack
Pasok
Hmmmm brother makes a good point.
she's uggo, the song is based
will jews rig the televote?
Hey buddy it was the coolest song ever to my kid self
To be fair, it looks like this post was meant for Ukrainians and was machine translated to English. It’s still funny how fragile they are though. Austria is getting boycotted for a fucking inspiration
>what did you say about me anon?
tp
tf
nigga you're from the balkans
they are literally demonizing a """"""""""russian""""" dog
am i the only one who would be completely okay if austria were to win? the way that twink sings gives me goosebumps. no homo
greece is not in the balkans and greeks don't demand the entire world should care about their shitflings with its fellow shitholes
she's hot, you're just a faggot.
Leave my gf out of this
She has enough in her head already
why does israel participate in these things when all they do is antagonise everyone anyway? they hate europe and europeans
Good post
greece is not in the balkans
lmaooo do greeks REALLY
She's fucked from the jewries. They only like ballads and it's too techno for them
AMAN MISERERE
AMAN MISERERE
The “Soviet nostalgia” bit is hilarious too. The song is about imagining Laika still being alive, which is inherently ANTI Soviet because the russkies killed that dog.
Not only those Finns betrayed their country for Sweden but also support a historic aggressor against Finland lol. Finns who support them are cucks.
official version of the luxembourgish song
We are southern Europe sweetheart
Greece is physically in the balkans but they aren’t involved in Balkan shitflinging (except with Turkey, but everyone in the region is anti Turk)
Armenia is getting last place
last place is reserved for the UK
they aren’t involved in Balkan shitflinging
Turn off your vpn azeri anon
I thought it was Portugal or Malta
slav planks are uggo I bet you like fucking asian titless girls of 40kg too.
From the jury show clips and notes, it feels like it will be Finland/Albania vs France/Switzerland rather than the Sweden vs Austria ending people were expecting.
reminder
Even though the song sucks I hope Armenia at least places on the left of the scoreboard because I genuinely think it’d mindbreak the annoying Azeri anon so bad that he’d kill himself
the song is not that bad
even the LGBT community is not THAT much of a sucker for the falsetto gimmick. Austria will fail with televoting.
I don't really like the song and I don't want the juries to have the last laugh again but, to be fair, Vienna is the most beautiful city I've ever been to and I wouldn't mind seeing it on the telly next year.
bet you like women of a healthy weight
sounds like something a fag would say
I have made peace with myself
I dont give a fuck anymore if Armenia gets first, second or last. This gay and fake contest is nothing but an echo chamber for globohomo normies.
Good riddiance, we already won in Karabagh
That's normal. I was in one of those threads and anons wrote similar stuff about France's song, which is even crazier. These brainrotted coomers can't see the beauty of a proper ballad.
Isn't Cash himself ethnically russian and grew up in a russian ghetto in estonia?
The only way it wins is with a jury landslide, and if that happens for a third time in a row, it will be riots.
the winner is going to be juryslop AGAIN
said the fag who likes fucking planks that look like 14 year old boys
He’s half Russian half Ukie
tapping "like" on some innocuous Instagram post that just so happens to be made by a Russian
LITERALLY PUTLER'S LAPDOG
guys, i think we're going to place on the right side of the scoreboard for the first time in a long time...
this edition is too competitive. too many strong songs. how do you guys fancy our chances? i'll be happy with a tenth place.
damn the german chick sounded rough in the jury show
One can hope. Although Azerbaijan 2019 was a BANGER. I still listen to it sometimes. Don't tell him that, though.
youtube.com
I have made peace with myself
lmao wanna bet?
see you tomorrow faggot
what was the post they tapped like on?
yes
weakest Italian song in years, but it can still easily make the left side
based, armenia may win the hearts of fags, troons and croos-dressers, but azerbaijan has already won on the battlefield and in the real world
Russian, Ukrainian AND KAZAKH. This man is genetically engineered like Agent 47 but not to kill. To be BASED.
t. "I hate women so much it's unreal"
I feel that Finland will win lads
What does it say about a girl if she is a tummy exhibitionist?
I won't be able to find it now but it was some Facebook mom tier banal post about happiness or some shit.
doubt it, but at least Eurovision would have better sound mixing if we did.
nigga armenian is coming in last or second last, you're good
yeah the mixing is awful this year, and it's made worse by replacing most of the audience with reactions with fake ones
Israel was booed so now the audience will be muted for EVERYTHING
Israel was asked tough questions at a press conference so now NO ONE gets a press conference
fucking jews man
Louane's Jury Show was her best performance so far - she got emotional right at the very end - it looked like relief
>Perfect balance of emotion and choreo. Absolutely Incredible
>Definite jury winner contender
frog bros???
it'd be the most boring winner right after azerbaijan 2012 and whatever year Serbia won
a Fr*nch victory of any kind in anything
please God no
Azerbaijan 2011
still don't know how wtf happened there
Serbia 2007
HEY! I liked it!

My wife was robbed
i didn't care much for france. i guess out of all choices, it would be the most boring one. i hope jury will be split between france, austria and sweden instead of going all in on france.
the public vote will have to do a lot of carrying here. hopefully it will be enough because it wasn't enough last time with baby lasagna and it wasn't enough the year prior with karja.
whatever year Serbia won
but Molitva is a great song

wait that was a different year

France would've won but he changed the song and the live version was much weaker
I just hope that this year we get a victory for the common man. The people's champion. Juries have gotten uppity, they should be reminded of their place.
russian ghetto
thats like wondering if musk grew up in the white ghetto in 70s south africa
i ve seen this prezaki in monastiraki
I still think Sweden’s got it
even if sweden wins, finland still wins
I love KAJ but having Eurovision in Sweden is getting tiresome. I'd rather have a kino Eurovision in Tampere than a budget show in Gothenburg
because it wasn't enough last time with baby lasagna and it wasn't enough the year prior with karja.
Lol the public vote will be more split this year because there isn't a clear crowd-pleasure like last year with BL and Karija. Sweden this year isn't even close to the level of popularity of the aforementioned two.
if we just have to get a jury bait winner again, i hope it will be austria instead of france. france feels too cheap. pure jury slop
the competition is so competitive this year. so many good entries are probably going to get dust or place horribly (one of them probably being us)
other than sweden, who else is there? finland and albania right?
it could be worse, ireland won three years in a row in the 90s
Austria’s song is just a shitty bootleg of last year’s winner. Way too tryhard.
should have it somewhere new, like iceland
would estonia count as a potential popular public vote people's choice? or are they out of the race?
Hosting Eurovision wasn't as expensive back then. Having Eurovision in Sweden again would result in a sharp decline in quality
Tracked it down for people wondering about KAJ. People supporting Russia can fuck off, but this is just silly:
"The situation is not so blatant, but still worth mentioning. On TikTok, the Finnish band KAJ liked comments with Russian messages like "With love from the Russian Federation." In parallel, Ukrainian comments were also liked. It seems that this is the work of their SMM-nik, but in times of war, even such "neutral activity" raises questions."
I would have liked those comments too.
What seems to be the original source: rbc.ua
There's no way Estonia can even get a top 3 in the televote when there are entries like Sweden and Finland (le bad country will obviously get 3rd place)
1. Albania
2. Finland
3. Sweden
4. France
5. Austria
Screenshot this
Sorry anon, KAJ will win, Finland will be getting all the love, but YOU'LL be footing the bill. Back to work now, wagie! Time to get started on those tax dollars.
1. Albania 2. Finland
Wishful thinking. Jury slop is winning as usual
other than sweden, who else is there? finland and albania right?
Israel?
Post national final songs that curbcheck most of the actual Eurovision entries we got this year.
I'll start

Israel, with a song that's just a worse version of last year's entry and also fucked up the jury performance
I think France will do good with the public vote. Either 3rd or 2nd.
i'm really afraid germany is going to be low-ranked again when this time they really don't deserve it. it's the best song they've brought in what seems like forever, but the singer still sounds shaky according to the jury show, and the presence of already many strong entries seems like it's going to make a top ten spot super hard to obtain for them.
Predicting the top 5:
1: Sweden (1st TV, 3rd jury)
2: France (4th TV, 1st jury)
3: Finland (2nd TV, 4th jury)
4: Austria (5th TV, 2nd Jury)
5: Albania (3rd TV, 5th jury)
Screenshot this
I wouldn't say I'm a Putin enjoyer but I just can't fathom how people claim that Ukraine stands for freedom and western values when this is the level of thought policing they're at. Wonder what they'd say if China issued a press release condemning a singer who liked a comment that said "With love from Taiwan".
i hope she kills it in the finals, it's such a good song.
where can u watch the jury show?
The splitscreen in the jury show is San Marino-Denmark
Kino
or is there no way to watch
Only the press and the jurors are allowed to watch it. There are occasional leaks
Luxembourg is flopping isn't it? Really bad placing and I don't think juries will really Appreciate it despite the incredible staging
I mean, it would actually have been kinda bad if it had been "total hohol death" or something, but nah:
I try to not watch any national finals. There will inevitably be MANY songs that I think are better than what was picked, and that will make me enjoy Eurovision less. It already doesn't feel as fun as comfy as it did pre 2022, I don't need even LESS enjoyment.
That being said, I overheard an ebony cupcake singing for the Belgian one this year. So much nicer than Red Homo:
youtube.com
It will be so San Marino win and get to be a fun dance song the crowd can go home to. They always do it for songs similar to it. Wolf Banana was the jury show winner for example
Denmark won
thx burger
No problem gyro bro :)
I think there's all kinds of people in all countries. I think that author is being a bit silly, but he's way more justified than I'd be being that pissed off. Haven't seen much stuff at that level otherwise.
I'm so happy to see France sharply rising in the odds (from 5% yesterday to 13% now). Apparently her performance during the jury show was excellent. However, I still don't think we'll do it, the song seems to be very divisive among fandom.
we've been trying to predict the top 10-13, the left side of the table, but what about the right side?
who will finish mid table, who will disappoint, and who will flop? is the uk going to get another 0 pointer?
Lame
i literally got a youtube ad from the israeli singer saying pls vote for me, in icelandic no less. is this happening to other countries? lol
HEY Let's talk about our favourite Eurovision stage designs. For me, there's something about Turin 2022 that's just so cosy, even with the broken sun. And the whole flowing water and "garden" green room is peak comfy. 2014 is also cool.
Her many moles make her cuter
Yes. Second year in a row. Pay up, goy.
They pulled this shit last year too. Other countries like Poland advertise too, but not to the same scale Israel does.
I’ve seen some Irish people say they get ads saying to vote 20 times for the song but the ads don’t actually say it’s from Israel because they know the Irish hate them.
German national jury at NDR declined this song and said it wouldn't do well because it's not radio friendly, thoughts?
youtube.com
Did they get some Icelander to dub her or just AI?
Henka won our televote. Juries are assholes who protect each other and would never allow a literally who emigrant to steal the win.
I like NAPA but I would have loved to see Henka shatter the image that people have of us on Eurovision.
other countries advertise too but israel is especially egregious about it
that being said how do even live without AdBlock? come on bro
didnt really notice, but probably ai i guess.
We don't hate anybody, Not even Palestinians. But we do have respect threshold that many Europeans simply can't maintain, Clowns is a better word.
Também gostava muito da Henka, mas é preciso admitir que a atuação dela no Festival da Canção ainda pareceu um pouco atabalhoada. Não sei como teria resultado na Eurovisão, mas acho que isso, juntamente com o Fernando Daniel (que acompanho há anos, porque sempre que vou a Portugal visitar a minha senpaiília ele toca sem parar na rádio), teria sido melhor do que os Napa. Creio que havia ainda outro rapaz na vossa seleção, com uma encenação tipo «estou a flutuar», mas não percebi o entusiasmo — achei aquilo fraquíssimo.
i had adblock but it stopped working.
Eurovision promotion was just too important.
Num palco maior e com produção eurovisiva, a canção ganharia ainda mais força. No final o resultado até poderia ser pior que o que os NAPA façam amanhã, mas ao menos por um ano deixávamos de ser o país que só manda canções de embalar, preso à vitória do Sobral.
Creio que havia ainda outro rapaz na vossa seleção, com uma encenação tipo «estou a flutuar»
Era o Josh. Tinha uma boa balada, e os apostadores estavam a acreditar muito nela, mas aquilo em palco ficou estranho.
The only good songs in the entire contest: Lithuania, Portugal, Italy and Denmark
Yeah, that's another one I really liked. Unfortunately she fell flat during her live performance, as did my second place. Fair play to Red, he performed well and deserved to win the Belgian national.
There will inevitably be MANY songs that I think are better than what was picked, and that will make me enjoy Eurovision less
But that's the best part, you get to be really bitter and angry when the big day rolls around and you just think about how much better it could have been. And it's incredibly satisfying when some crap that got in instead of your favourite ultimately faceplants at Eurovision, like in 2022 when Australia sent a literal autistic gayfag instead of the cool synth metal act (who they ultimately chose in 2023 thankfully) and then at the Grand Final Australia got 2 whole entire points from the audience vote. I've scarcely ever laughed so hard in my life.
hmm maybe ive been living in a misunderstanding. so adblock should work? it turns out i had ublock which stopped working. put adblock on now. we'll see.
Assisti às meias-finais e à final; pareceu-me que, na meia-final, a Henka cantou um pouco desafinada, mas que isso ficou resolvido na final. Por outro lado, a escolha das bailarinas deixou-me intrigado: acho que ela devia ter assumido ainda mais o estilo do que fez. Enfim, nunca saberemos como teria sido na Eurovisão; lembro-me apenas de que, nos dias que antecederam a final, Portugal era apontado pelos bookmakers ao 5.º lugar, o que significa que consideravam que vocês tinham algum(ns) elemento(s) suficientemente forte(s) para o concurso!
Outra pergunta: o que achas da canção francesa e, se já a fizeste ouvir a outros portugueses, o que é que eles acharam? Gosto de ter opiniões de não-franceses, porque nós, franceses, somos tendenciosos (pelo simples facto de compreendermos a letra).
Works here at least. Think Google regularly tries new things to get around ad blockers on YouTube though.
Baryak also won the televote but got fucked by the juries.
I like NAPA but I would have loved to see Henka shatter the image that people have of us on Eurovision.
Yeah, I'm not even upset at the actual representative, it's a good song that's grown more on me the more I listen, but after all the stuff out of Festival da Canção I've heard over the years, for that crazy bitch to just come flying outta nowhere and overturning the applecart just completely floored me, and it would have been amazing for the Eurovision stage to show a different side of Portugal.
I got one too on my youtube feed with her greeting in Greek lol
i missed the second semifinal, which songs should i watch?
Now I'm wondering if there is one in Swedish.
Eh, to each his own.
Australia 2022
I vaguely remember. "We're nawwwt the saaaayaaaaayaaymm noohwooohwoooh". Was he austistic? That explains it.
Oh by the way, just remembered. Albania 2018 was my favourite of the year and probably still my favourite Albanian entry so it's not that I think this is BETTER but I still remember this song from FiK 2018 and play it sometimes. It's just so... sunny.

latvia, lithuania, austria, greece and finland. ireland and australia didn't make it, but i liked them
spain? what? i've literally not seen a single person talk about that song, probably because of how generic it is.
seeing us below israel is borderline offensive. we're really going to have our worst result in years are we?

Olly should have taken up Eurovision, or you should have sent Giorgia instead. I like the melody of Lucio Corsi’s song, but the staging is weak and it feels as though he’s not there to connect with the audience—there’s something about him that bothers me a little.
Im rooting for Lituania, Luxembourg and San Marino. This is the year of the small nations. Maybe Estonia as well.
Luxembros...
San Marino
maybe as a song it's not the worst thing in the world but any DJ who goes to Eurovision knowing full well it's about singing and you're not allowed to tweak the instrumental on stage is a lazy cunt
Estonia should be higher.
Many are saying this
Portugal era apontado pelos bookmakers ao 5.º lugar
Era por causa do Josh. Mas assim que ele atuou, descemos nas odds.
o que achas da canção francesa
Gosto da vossa canção, mas não a vejo ao mesmo nível das da Barbara e do Slimane. Este ano prefiro a da Suiça.
Não sei a opinião de outros conterrâneos. Como a França não atuou na nossa semifinal, a Louane passou despercebida. Mas na final é garantido que os comentadores chamem a atenção para a canção dela só pelo facto de ela ter costela tuga. Pontos garantidos.
Luxembourg
My attraction to her has just dissipated. I thought she would have a cutesy Frenchy speaking voice but I just watched this clip and her English sounds like a Starbucks sipping girl from California.
youtube.com
I mostly care about how the song sounds to me. If people judge by the performance maybe you are right.
Does he blink???
Don't you find Olly boring? When he won his song was near universally hated due to how dull it was. Giorgia is whatever. Honestly there wasn't anyone really that good at Sanremo this year.
The problem is we've been coasting on our Eurovision success for years, but everytime we ranked high it always felt like a fluke to me, because Sanremo, our music festival, is not made with the purpose of sending someone to represent Italy to Eurovision in order to win it. Eurovision is just a bonus, an extra thrown in there, when most other music festivals in Europe have that exact purpose.
The prospect of getting our worst result in years tomorrow is looking more and more likely, I hope it's going to be a wake up call for our delegation, but I'm not holding my breath. Hopefully I will be proven wrong.
In any case, it was about time we got a long overdue reality check at Eurovision by getting a bad result for the first time in a decade. Sorry for the longpost
A cantora francesa é meia portuguesa?
no because he's locked the fuck in
Germany not a bad spot
I don't make the rules
kek couldn't have put it better myself
A mãe dela é portuguesa e, aliás, ela canta para ela em homenagem à sua memória. Todo o sentido da letra é dizer que, durante muito tempo, ela sofreu, mas agora conseguiu seguir em frente, está feliz e ela própria se tornou mãe (daí o som da filha, no final da canção, a dizer «Mamã»).
Let’s not forget that most people don’t speak Italian. I’ll tell you the whole truth: I’ve never followed Sanremo; I just checked the bookmakers and thought, “I’ll listen to the top three favourites.” When I looked at the list, Olly was first, just ahead of Giorgia. I listened to Olly and, right from the start, I loved his super-deep vocal tone—a really powerful male ballad (I also loved Marco Mengoni back in 2023). Giorgia, at first, didn’t do it for me, but after a re-listen I think it could’ve been a solid entry. It was only when I went to read Olly’s lyrics that I realised they were pretty hollow, but someone who doesn’t speak Italian DOESN’T CARE and just remembers the melody, which I personally find wonderful (plus, the singer is good-looking… and unfortunately, yes, that counts too).

I feel like no matter who we would've sent, whether Olly or Lucio or Giorgia, we were still going to flop. I re-listened to Giorgia and it's pretty decent, but I don't think it would've done well this edition. This year has been too competitive.
What you said about the singer having to be good looking isn't anything new unfortunately. I remember someone saying they thought Lucio sucked because he looked like a freak. I guess they had a point.
Hey, anything can happen still, but I really don't have high hopes for us this year. It's fine. We've done well for so long anyways, it's normal for once to have an off year.
I haven't listened to the songs yet, but it's insane how Croatia almost won last year by sending a banger, and this year they sent probably one of the worst Eurovision songs ever (by a guy named "Bosniak", nonetheless.)
Portugal: This years "Oh Boy". People were calling this a Eurovision winner, and then it just got ignored
so much kino potential wasted on A FUCKING POLE
what the fuck was he thinking
I was on board with a lot of those as well, especially Goldielocks, Citi Zeni, The Rumpled, and Oxajo. Also liked Simon, EoT, Niyl, and Sw@da x Niczos, though they weren't my first picks. Somewhere, in an alternate timeline, there is an all-time great Eurovision happening right now.
I don’t see it that way. First of all, plenty of us think this year’s edition was rather weak, and I agree with that view.
For me, Olly and Marco Mengoni are basically playing the same card: a powerful Italian-language ballad, the kind that often goes down well at Eurovision. From what I’ve gathered, Giorgia’s defeat raised a lot of questions—chiefly about the pervasive machismo in Italy that almost always keeps a woman from winning Sanremo (even though Giorgia was the clear favourite and the juries’ top pick).
To be honest, I think your reasoning sounds a bit like it comes from a place of privilege; here in France we’d love to have a high-quality Sanremo-style festival—when we tried national selections, we mostly got amateurs and it was pretty embarrassing…
seriously, Lucio's song is not that bad
Croatia
what the fuck why did they send a gay twink instead of ANY of these?
The pole could have still worked if they either added smoke to hide he's floating in the air at first, have the pole move up and down so he starts on the ground and actually rises up in the air, or there's platforms below him that pull away or lower to leave him levitating. Or some combo of them all. Just anything to not blow the reveal on the first second.
Even better if he isn't attached to the pole at first so he has a moment to walk around before he starts floating off.
To be honest, I think your reasoning sounds a bit like it comes from a place of privilege
I admit it, I understand how I might come off that way. We've taken a lot of pride in our Eurovision success over the last decade, so we feel like we have a reputation to uphold by doing well, you know? But I understand I might sound a bit snobbish here, like the fan of a football team complaining about the season not being up to par when the team he supports has qualified for the Champions League every year and won trophies recently.
when we tried national selections, we mostly got amateurs and it was pretty embarrassing…
Is that so? This is new to me. Why is that? I thought you guys would get popular artists who Want to come to Eurovision on purpose, due to the prestige that comes from getting to such a big stage.
Every year at Sanremo we get very established names. Most times Sanremo songs become hit later in the year even if they might not have won the whole thing, but they mostly compete just to win Sanremo, not to go to Eurovision and then win that. They care about being the best song in Italy mainly. Sorry for another football analogy, but it's basically a Serie A team focusing on winning the league rather than trying to going for the Champions League.
and here are the final adjusted votes
870 points to israel
730 points to ukraine
520 to the token muslim black tranny faggot of this edition
there's no token muslim gay person this time around. however there is a black guy singing in french representing the netherlands and a fat disgusting maltese girl for malta.
ordered some stubborn soders for the final and all of the cans arrived fucking bulged
When I watched Dora this year, I thought there was like no way they could fuck it up. Nothing that could win Eurovision, but I would say around 8 songs would reach the Eurovision final, with another 4 being able to put up a fight as a borderline Q with a revamp/budget increase/performing when not sick from the bug that went around at the Dora pre-party.

And then the jury did a landslide for the DOA Poison Cake instead.
here in France we’d love to have a high-quality Sanremo-style festival—when we tried national selections, we mostly got amateurs and it was pretty embarrassing…
Same in the UK. When we used to do national finals they were cheap garbage that didn't help the stigma about the contest.
With the breadth of musical talent we have, there's no reason not to have a music festival contest like Sanremo or FiK over here with the live orchestra and everything.

That’s totally normal—no one can blame you for it. And since I’m a big fan of Italian entries myself, I can only agree with you
Is that so? This is new to me. Why is that? I thought you guys would get popular artists who Want to come to Eurovision on purpose, due to the prestige that comes from getting to such a big stage.
Oh, absolutely not—the way Eurovision is viewed in France is downright degraded and negative. Whether it’s the press, which regularly makes fun of the contest, or the general public, people think that
- we lose no matter what it sends.
- we're always ‘dead last,
- the rest of Europe hates us
- the contest is ‘woke decadence’ where you have to prance around in a tutu or be shockingly vulgar to win
- our neighbors never vote for us (and so on...)
There’s real contempt for this competition.
Since 2021, though—thanks to Barbara Pravi’s dazzling and rather unexpected second place—things have started to change, but very slowly, and we’re still nowhere near a full shift. (Just this year I keep reading: ‘We’ll end up last as usual,’ even though we’ve literally scored two Top 5 finishes in the past four years. Sometimes I wonder if the French live on another planet: sure, Barbara Pravi didn’t get much coverage because no one knew her, but Slimane has been everywhere in the media, so those old grumblers should be aware…)
(I'm continuing in another post)
The head of delegation, who’s been at the helm since 2021, is doing great work in both the adult and junior contests (three wins in four years since 2020, let’s not forget). She had to push hard to bring Slimane and Louane on board—they were afraid.
As for the national selection, we tried that in 2018, 2019, 2021 and 2022—and aside from the Barbara Pravi miracle in 2021, the rest was total rubbish. Some contestants were established French artists offering material utterly unsuited to Eurovision; others were complete amateurs who’d never set foot on a stage and sang off-key live. In short, entries totally mismatched with the Eurovision format and demands, put forward by people still far too green for the contest.
After France’s next-to-last place in 2022 (with the song that had actually won the national final), I think the head of delegation realized it was still too soon to go that route and that we first needed to freshen up Eurovision’s image in France so that well-known artists would dare enter a national final. She’s already said it herself: she wants to build in France the equivalent of Sanremo or Melodifestivalen—but there’s a lot of work ahead
Volevo Essere un Duro is a top 10 entry this year and I'd be very happy if Lucio won.
we lose no matter what it sends.
we're always ‘dead last'
I'm sure the French public would be more on board with the contest if they realized that this is usually what happens to Britain and Germany lol
I don’t know the viewing figures in the United Kingdom and Germany, but I do know that in France the numbers are far from the best among the Big Five countries (and nowhere near the figures in Scandinavia or Eastern Europe). How can the French have an objective and accurate view of the contest if they don’t even watch it?
Lucio kind of looks like a forced copy of Boy George, lame song anyway, this year Sanremo was a snoozefest in general.
Sanremo winners are awarded for different merits, Eurovision winners either have to be le current political narrative propaganda or way more commercial, which is why I do believe there should be a vote for Sanremo song that should be select for the ESC as a side vote.
youtu.be
Annalisa for example is both jury and audience bait, but also faggots vote bait, also good visual performance and style, energy on the scene, song is about muh brave single woman who needs no man, like many from out musical pop industry she panders to the fags too. Was an easy top 5 for ESC, Angelina Mango's somg also had Italian lyrics but less catchy for foreigners unlike Annalisa and her whole successful album full of hits.
I am happy for the Sanremo winners who don't want to go the ESC clown show anyway.
I don't know the 2024 numbers, but the top 10 biggest viewers in 2023 were:
UK 9.85m (1 million more than usual due to it being in the UK)
Germany 7.96m
Italy 4.91m
Spain 4.84m
Poland 3.5m
France 3.48m
Sweden 2.32m
Netherlands 1.85m (it's normally 3m, and was that in the semi-final, but the DQ happened)
Finland 1.73m
Belgium 1.63m
But population % is probably the fairer stat to follow for this than straight up numbers. Iceland had 264,000 people watching the semi-final in 2023, which is tiny compared to those numbers above. But then you remember Iceland's total population is 393,000 and that's well over half of their population watching.
Also she should have been selected for Sanremo with Bellissima in that one edition she didn't win with Sinceramente
youtu.be
Well, we still know that France is more populated than the UK, Italy, Spain and Poland and still we have less viewers
obesity is not thicc, nor attractive
The 2022 entry was the one sung in breton, wasn't it? that was one of my favorite songs from that year! I was gutted when it came like second-last. Also Evidemmant was and still is everywhere here in Italy, it's super popular. Slimane deservedly finished high but Evidemmant and the Fulenn absolutely didn't deserve to get shafted the way they did.
There’s real contempt for this competition.
Yeah, all the boomer tabloid media greatest hits that come out every year. Some do have a point, sure, most of those points are exactly the reasons why countries like Hungary Turkey and Slovakia have pulled out from participation, which is a shame, because Eurovision is a great time usually.
our neighbours never vote for us
This happens all the time, and it's honestly not that deep. If every neighbouring country gave free points to the country they have the most history with irregardless if the song was good or not, it would cheapen out the show or something.
I hope you guys can sort out your music festival woes, you've come out with some really nice songs in the past few years, and you haven't won in forever and you've gotten close recently, so I hope the delegation and the country as a whole starts to take it a little bit more seriously, if possible. Hell, you could do it this year, if the bookies are correct!
Your words made me reflect: maybe I've been refusing to give Sanremo some credit.
thank you, I just have very little faith in us this year. It's not the end of the world if we don't make the top 10, but I'm just expecting the worst at this point.
Either Bellissima or Sinceramente would've been amazing as Sanremo winners to bring to Eurovision, absolutely. Hell, imagine if we brought Mon Amour to Eurovision. I'm not saying we could've won, but she definitely would've stolen the show.
A side vote for which song to send to Eurovision could be an idea, but they probably won't do it.
Finland:
Fucked over by the lead singer getting exposed as a pedophile and the band immediately disbanding
why is he speaking French when he could speak Flemish or Dutch
Albania will win. Screencap this.

Slimane deservedly finished high but Evidemmant and the Fulenn absolutely didn't deserve to get shafted the way they did.
Yes, the 2022 entry was Fulenn. In short, after thinking it over, what the Bretons came up with was niche to begin with, so it was always going to be hit-or-miss. But their performance was a mess—camera angles changing every two seconds to the point of inducing nausea, dancers everywhere, four singers (with the three women not always in sync). It was all over the place, and their running order didn’t help either. As for “Évidemment,” the problem is obvious: whose bright idea was it to stick her up on a beam? She stood there stone-still the whole time—ridiculous! They should have kept the staging from the music video, where she sways and shows off her diva moves.
This happens all the time, and it's honestly not that deep. If every neighbouring country gave free points to the country they have the most history with irregardless if the song was good or not, it would cheapen out the show or something.
On this point, the statistics vindicate the French: Scandinavian and Balkan countries statistically award each other far more points than Western European countries do, for example.
Hell, you could do it this year, if the bookies are correct!
I don’t believe France has a shot at winning this year, because what Louane’s bringing is a softer, less impactful version of what we sent in 2021 and 2024. At best, we’ll come in second.
