So, it is official. RAI just offered theirselves to host ESC 2023 once again in Turin
There are some street rumours that RTP is willing to do the same.

I could think of several better host nations.

 

[MopManMoss]

Honestly my favourite performance yesterday was Mika

 

[MopManMoss]

Bring back Petra! The modern day Katie Boyle. Icon.

shes having a baby though!

 

[jatojo]

I would like to see Sam Ryder do "Higher Ground".

 

[goncalovieira]

I could think of several better host nations.

Well, both of them are experienced with ESC recently.

 

[jatojo]

Honestly my favourite performance yesterday was Mika

Yes, and best when he was alone.

 

[I bims]

I think they will give it to United Kingdom. BBC has the network, experience, money.

Graham Norton as a host please, would be iconic. I would trust that the Brits would do a good show!

 

[GermanBango]

Y‘all haven’t been paying attention? As if Ukraine would let anyone take this away from them haha. They will do everything in oder to make it possible so yea, the BBC shouldn’t get too excited about the prospects of hosting the 2023 edition.

Give it to the UK. They are good at it, and they even qualified for it (sort of).

Good for them to be hopeful that everything will be fine in a couple months so they can start organising the host city and venue but... I don't think that's the smartest idea, considering the country might not exist in a year at worst, and be in financial ruin at best. Of course, anything might happen to any country in a year, but I think Sweden, Spain, UK or whatever has a bigger chance to consistently have the infrastructural and financial capabilities to host.

edit: I didn't follow that closely already back then, but I've read before that in 2017 it was also very hard for them to organize and other countries including sweden had to come help more than usual? Might be wrong though. Anyway, considering the situation is much worse now...

Would also be kinda messed up to spend so much money on a prestige event when it could help a lot of people that have been through the worst things imagineable. Let someone else host but Ukraine gets like creative control over everything and maybe even ukrainian hosts together with local ones. Would actually be really cool to see a shared event, to really show that countries can work together closely to overcome such devastation.

 

[Bobjan FR]

I may have misunderstood , i was thinking that EBU confirmed that Ukraine will host ?

 

[mauve]

Host nation? Of course Germany! We got 6 points and are READY!

 

[MopManMoss]

Host nation? Of course Germany! We got 6 points and are READY!

hallo welt you say?

 

[jatojo]

Host nation? Of course Germany! We got 6 points and are READY!

4,5 points in average in the 2020's.

(Who would have thought S!sters were going to be one of the more succesful German acts in recent years ...)

 

[heke1988]

Host nation? Of course Germany! We got 6 points and are READY!

Well I hope you will choose this time Electric (former Eskimo) Callboy.

 

[Ezio]

Lol the WWB reaction video is so cringe, not sure what they are taking but I don’t want it. All of a sudden William jumped the hype trenuletul with Moldova when they got their TV score announced

 

[Hatari2600]

Not sure if this has already been posted somewhere and I wasted my time counting, but here's the imaginary results if you would remove Ukraine:

1. 247+271=518
2. 285+213=498
3. 269+222=491
4. 92+263=355
5. 168+134=302
6. 16+274=290
7. 164+68=232
8. 174+51=225
9. 46+178=224
10. 138+52=190
11. 52+120=172
12. 47+118=165
13. 43+107=150
14. 130+4=134
15. 104+4=108
16. 84+0=84
17. 13+70=83
18. 66+7=73
19. 41+29=70
20. 13+34=47
21. 38+7=45
22. 11+14=25
23. 14+3=17
24. 1+9=10

So the only position swaps are between Spain-UK and Iceland-France.

(Since the full results of have not been revealed, no 1 points have been given from these countries' juries/televotes since there are no 11th places to move up)
