I post stuff about the Eurovision Song Contest and national selections.

To the guy who keeps reposting my memes on Facebook: either learn to credit your sources or get some original ideas. 😒

Always nice to see a new flag on this!

Some statistics from Semi 1:

-Overall top 3 Israel, poland, finland (FUCKING POLAND OVER FINLAND???)

-Televote top 3: israel, moldova, serbia

-Jury top 3: poland, finland, israel

- sweden televote 13th!!!!!!!!!!! Swedish NQ!!!!!!!!

-belgium televote 14th, huge nq

-georgia dead last

[eurotastic]

My hot take is that televoters using multiple payment methods or multiple sim cards to vote isn't voter fraud and it isnt cheating - it's more like getting the most out of the voting system as it currently works.

Even if you ban all advertising for specific songs or discourage people from voting the maximum amount of times or whatever else, lots of televoters with a strong agenda and functional brains are going to figure out how to maximize their results, thus leading to one person being able to vote 100+ times on multiple devices.

the thing with televoting is that you can literally never control peoples motivations for voting, so if you really want eurovision to only be about music and nothing else, jury only is the way forward. Except that would suck and be really boring so I guess were stuck in this Hell World forever

Jury top 10 vs televote top 10

Well, let's see how badly this prediction will flop.

[escmemesandstuff]

Pretty badly, it turned out.

[escmemesandstuff]

Expectation: Australia wins the jury and Israel the televote, Finland is the compromise winner

Reality: Bulgaria wins both

[esc-is-holding-me-hostage]

THE MOST LEFT FIELD WINNER SINCE CONCHITA

[escmemesandstuff]

What. The. Hell. Just. Happened?????

[escmemesandstuff]

Yeah, fuck this.

not the producers giving Linda & Pete the same position in the running order Lordi won from exactly 20 years ago

[residentraccoon]

...I can't stop watching this

[escmemesandstuff]

"Producers decide the running order to bring variety and excitement!"

Also producers: put two rock songs right next to each other

Tonight's semifinal is extremely hard to predict, there are a handful of certain qualifiers but most could go either way. I'm prepared to get more than two of these wrong.

[escmemesandstuff]

Only got two wrong, but Armenia’s NQ is a bit of a surprise tbh. Thought it would stand out more for bringing some party vibes after all the drama and ballads.
