germany didn’t deserve that last place like they did everything right this time sending a song that is not forgettable for once and the public especially did them dirty (bc let’s be honest no one expected juries to give them points but the public? pls what was that)

Since Eurovision has now ended and we have a winner, I wanted to give everyone who needs it a reminder:

Don't send any hate or death threats to Looren or her team. Same goes to anyone who voted for her.

I also wanted Finland to win and I'm very annoyed at the jury vote, but we need to remember that these are real people performing on stage and making these songs. Just because you didn't like the song, it doesn't mean you need to go tell them how much you hate them or to even threaten them with their life (like seriously what is wrong with you?).

Let's just enjoy the songs we love. Feel free to share your favourite songs or who you simply believe deserved more points. I wanna hear some positive opinions :D

I feel like ever since American people have been allowed to watch Eurovision it has gone down the drain.. where is the drama? Where is the glitter? Where are the men in hamster wheels? Where are the naked women churning butter? Where is the fire?

Can't we just get to keep this for ourselves? Americans literally ruin anything they touch!

This has nothing to do with Americans, this has to do with a certain cultural hegemony within the music industry and the way the contest is set up.

From what I remember the juries were originally introduced to moderate the block voting of certain regions (the balkans always exchanging maximum points, greece and cyprus etc.), but not only does that still happen, it now also seems to be a tool for the music industry (the jury is comprised of so-called 'experts' and professionals) to preserve what they apparently perceive as the 'dignity' of eurovision, by selecting boring mainstream songs and neglecting, let's say, interesting songs because it might be embarrassing.

This year the German jury was comprised of:

Katja Ebstein, a 78 year old singer who represented Germany in Eurovision three times between 1970 and 1980.

Alina Süggeler, whose band Frida Gold is mainly known for making forgettable EDM inspired pop stuff and commercials that are thinly disguised as music videos.

Anica Russo, a pop artist who I actually don't know much about but she finished 6th (out of 8) in the national selection for this year's German entry so make of that what you will.

Arne Gosh, a music manager.

Kai Tölke, Head of Music of a German radio station.

I'm assuming it will be similar in other countries. Managers and nonthreatening mainstream pop artists who are the darlings (and clients) of said managers and the labels, but who don't even match the most successful artists in the country.

And the vote of the German jury was:

12 points: Sweden, 10 points: Estonia, 8 points: Australia, 7 points: Spain, 6 points: Norway, 5 points: Czechia, 4 points: Italy, 3 points: Serbia, 2 points: Austria, 1 point: Lithuania.

The vote of the German public was:

12 points: Finland, 10 points: Italy, 8 points: Albania, 7 points: Ukraine, 6 points: Croatia, 5 points: Norway, 4 points: Poland, 3 points: Switzerland, 2 points: Belgium, 1 point: Sweden.

As you might notice, only two countries appear in both lists, and Sweden is last in the German public vote.

Proposal: The jury can stay, but they're treated as one country. They only get one 12, 10, 8, etc. Like international votes.

Why do we enjoy the things we do? How can we enjoy them more? Psychology’s got the answers.

Unpopular opinions of Yuri on Ice

I think Yuri’s gay, no bisexual.

I don’t ship otabek/yurio. i dont know why, but i just cant really see any chemistry between them other than friendship

I also don’t really ship Sara/Mila, mainly because there isn’t a base for that.

I don’t think Victor is impulsive . I realise this is down to interpretation BUT. He seems to me the type of character who meditates his decisions in depth, only he doesn’t discuss them with anyone, On the other hand, Yuri is definitely impulsive.

Viktor definitely knows how to cook, he has lived alone for a long time, so he knows how to take care of himself,

I hate it when people present Viktor as a stupid blonde, he’s a genius, he’s smart and creative.

Viktor does not seem as close to Chris as many believe.

Phichit and Yuri have a completely platonic relationship.

I don’t actually think Victor is that close to the other skaters, beyond distant kindness, Especially the Russian skaters, they don’t seem to have minded that Victor left.

I don’t think Yakov is a good father figure, Viktor definitely respects him and thinks he is the best coach, and maybe he would like to have a deeper relationship with him, but Yakov doesn’t seem to be on the same page. I kind of always thought that Victor was way closer to Yakov than Yakov to him,

I don’t like how a lot of people think that Viktor should be Yurio’s coach, because firstly Viktor never showed interest in being his coach, secondly, Yurio has Yakov and Lilia, and I don’t think he is interested in changing coach at the moment, thirdly, Yurio does not seem to be interested in Viktor’s advice and leadership, fourthly, they have a complicated relationship that would be difficult to manage in a professional relationship. and finally Viktor owes Yurio nothing.

I don’t like it when people imply that yuri loses and gains weight all the time, this is not healthy or safe for a figure skater, because it will affect his center of balance and make him fall in his jumps, and seeing how Yuri is A perfectionist, I don’t think he’s going to risk that.

I don’t think Victor is a playboy, the only reason I think he had previous relationships is because he mentioned it directly, but I don’t think he had many, maybe two or three at most, so I can accept that he can be a virgin. on the other hand, even though I think Yuri is definitely a virgin, I don’t like it when people imply that he doesn’t know anything about sex, he is smart and lived five years in the United States, he definitely knows more about how sex works than Viktor.

Phichit and Yuri didn’t go to many parties in Detroit, as they were trying to advance their careers and did not want to jeopardize their images before their respective federations showing alcohol abuse and inappropriate behavior.

I think that Yurio’s growth as a character was not well developed in the show, he needs to learn to be a more respectful competitor, Also, Yurio already won everything and he needs to learn some humility. So I hope his next arc is about how he deals with not winning.

when Yuri retires viktor will be a choreographer and not a coach. It is not that he is a bad coach, but I think he will appreciate more the flexibility of being a choreographer, besides that this will allow him to help more skaters, than being a coach.

After Viktor retires, he and Yuri will live in Hasetsu permanently.

Minako’s role in Yuri’s life is greatly underrated.

Yuri’s dance ability is underrated, he is definitely better than all other skaters.

wise words

mfdumm

okay im really late but hear me out hahah

I do think that they shouldn’t let countries where there’s current war and terrorism going on host the eurovision simply because it’s so fucked up and disrespectful to have parties and fun while literally everyone else is suffering. and i think hatari calling them out for doing that is in some way still right. please feel free to educate me tho if im wrong <3 that’s all

(i’m not on anyones side btw. i just want all of this to be handled without violence)

Eurovision is Politics

Eurovision loves to claim to be politics-free when its very own foundation took place after the war devastated Europe. As if every year we don’t witness countries voting for their neighbours or political allies. Or votes which hold a clear political statement. As if every year France, Germany, England, Italy and Spain aren’t granted a place in the final because they pay more. As if the participation or lack of participation form certain countries doesn’t present us with their political and economical conditions, or their views on Europe. Hell, Russia wasn’t allowed to participate in 2017, in Ukraine. Was that not politics?

As if every single year participants didn’t use this opportunity to spread their message and to express their personal view of certain matters. Just to name a few, and recent ones, Ukraine won in 2016 with a political song. Last year we had France sing about the refugees crisis and Italy sing about wars and terrorism. Conchita Wurst won in 2014 because of the exploration of gender and gender roles. France brought a deaf ballerina and a plus sized ballerina this year, while also exploring gender non conformity, as social statements. People wave pride flags alongside their country’s flag. North Macedonia nearly won two days ago with an empowering song about feminism.

If they think I don’t see right through their bullshit they’re wrong. Pretending to be vocal, supportive and accepting is political. Claiming everyone is equal in Eurovision is political. The jury voting North Macedonia after the Me Too movement took place (when the public didn’t care about the song) is political. The very act of forbidding politics is political. If politics didn’t matter, they wouldn’t care. They wouldn’t censor certain people and they sure as hell wouldn’t have forbidden Salvador Sobral’s refugee shirt and confiscate Hatari’s Palestine flags. The fact that they took their time to go to them and ask them to remove the shirt/the flags just proves that they know it matters. And that Eurovision is just trying to silence them for the sake of money.

Eurovision is One. Big. Political. Event.

I’ve seen people claim that the burning of the notre dame is a hit to French colonialism and white supremacist Christian culture and I’ve also seen someone claim that it symbolizes the fall of degenerate leftist neurope culture so as it turns out you can just use it to further whatever agenda you believe. who cares. it’s true cause you said so
