Wow Russia huh? Interesting first place. My scores would've definitely gotten into the top 30, but even that is too low when you see some of the awful songs above it - I really do hope we see a surprise on the Rotterdam stage and gets its best ever finish in 2020s!

Oh wait...

The fifteenth annual ESC Live Listening for NSCers will take place on Discord on Wednesday May 4th at approximately 18 CEST!

What is the annual ESC LL? We listen to all the songs of this year's Eurovision Song Contest, comment and give them marks out of 10. At the end the scores are tallied and we see which song is the most popular within this community. Will it be the eventual winner of the real deal or will it be someone who falls short in the semis? Always exciting!

To join the NSC Discord, click here.

You are free to join after the listening has started. If you can't make it or if you need to leave early, you can still participate by sending me a PM or private Discord message with your votes. You mark all songs with a score between 0 and 10, with one optional decimal allowed. To have your votes included in the final results, you must have sent me your votes for all 40 entries.

Welcome to anyone who's interested! NSCers, ex-NSCers, WLers and randoms alike! May the fourth be with you!

The reason for it to be on Discord is mainly because it is easier for our host to collect the votes. But if people got ideas to improve this for next year, I am sure everyone is welcome to tell us that.

But it is sad that you can't join, cause it is often great talks when we hold these every year....

It's no worries, I'm sure you'll have a blast. Prepping for a job interview tomorrow and really need to concentrate on that since I can't mess it up (pray for me!!! )

Great taste as always, NSC!

 

[theditz83]

Thanks for not overrating just for being Mahmood and being.... well Italy. Still not understanding the hype, but was never going to be my bag.

Can't believe we're so close to the contest now!

 

[Luki]

I really don't understand the hate Switzerland receives this year...

 

[Le Bruit]

It's not hate. It's a general meh.
