Imagine if all the singers wore the same clothes and masks and people had to vote based on how they sung and danced. No one would know their nation. I wonder what the voting would look like then.

England:
The UK could resurrect the dead members, and have a once in a life time reunion of the Beatles and we’d still come last.

And I'm all out of bubblegum.

The jury used to not be able to actually see the performers. Also, for a very long time everyone had to sing in their native language. Which obviously helped Ireland and the UK, since more people listened to and understood music in English than any other language except their own.

I love it when Brits think that there's some conspiracy keeping them from winning. You just keep sending shit ballads, that's all.
Read back through the thread, we KNOW that the fat lad was trash, we are complaining about why other really good songs, like Norway, did so badly with the judges yet the public thought it was brilliant.

Why so many public votes for Norway and Italy? Don't get the appeal. At least Holland's chorus was great and memorable.

Conspiracy theories about the Israelis sabotaging the Icelandic performance as it was the only performance that had sound problems.

Did you miss the bald guy joiking? One of the all time great Eurovision performances. He deserved to win.

Well they were waving about a Palestine flag which is why the crowd booed them. Damn politics, this is meant to be dumb as feck!

He's from around Kautokeino I think. His brother works at the telenor-store at amfi in the town I live in. :lol:
He was the reason my girl wanted to watch eurovision.

Italy's song was fecking terrible. No idea where the popularity stems from.

At least the Czech, North Macedonia and to some extent the Swedish political judge voting was fecked over by the public, always good to see.

The 'experts' vote a day before based on the final test event. Norway got massively fecked over by the light and sound technicians messing up the whole performance. The delegation lodged a formal complaint but to no avail.

But the biggest problem is that these so called 'experts' only really care about borders and politics. Just look at Cyprus and Greece gifting each other 12 points and North Macedonia political voting. The worst of them all is Sweden, year after year they're only getting points because they're the jury's favourite.

Officially the best poker player on RAWK.
I still think they should all be made to perform live.

Also, everyone takes it way too seriously, it's not as fun.

And on that note, I'm still so glad we got that last shot of the Swedish guy's face, that was gold :lol:

Apparently something went wrong with the screens during Norway’s performance for the jury which obviously had a massive impact, would’ve won if only the people’s votes were counted. I was rooting for Italy though, put a tenner on them to win at 11 odds. Just 27 points behind the Netherlands :annoyed:

Proud of the smallest country bar San Marino for having the balls to point out what no one else had the balls to say. This should never had been hosted there. Hope Mossad let them leave.

Eurovision is such a weird fecking contest. I have no idea why the Netherlands won. It was just a dude with a piano. Way to normal to win normally? Also, why did Italy rank so high, they were fecking shite:lol:
