Why are you still on this juries blatantly destroyed Poland hype? The performance was tacky and sex-fueled. If you believe Polish nationality is represented by a cheap milkmaid in a dress showing that much cleavage then by all means carry on. But the reason it was quite rightly killed was the fact it had no musical merit whatsoever. I'm not surprised it was put last, even France had a better stage show for the song than Poland; it was a desperate attempt for votes. Had they not had those two sex shows on either side with a washer and a butter churner; and stuck with the traditional dancing with the 4 girls in the middle you'd have a right to moan, but it was a sex show and sex is not a jury vote. Had Conchita decided to perform a strip tease to Rise Like A Phoenix she'd be placed at the bottom as well.
There's no way on earth that Poland had the worst song/performance/vocals in its semi and the final. Now you and all its haters can "pretend" it was judged by, according to you; "its 'sexual' stage show and bad song", but there's LOTS of people who genuinely liked the song for its clever fusion of modern R&B-Pop, folk tunes (the best instrumental middle 8 of all songs in this year's ESC imo), the use of native language and its general cheekiness and irony (and we got the televoting results proving that lots of people actually enjoyed it and aren't a prude bitter bunch!). This is a SONG contest first and foremost, the package counts, but in the end of the day it's the songs that should be judged first and foremost and what they bring to the table. Maybe you disagree, but I think freshness, thinking outside of the standard box of Eurovision and also representing your country are things that SHOULD be supported, and not just bringing the same old tiring cliché to please some old queens in the juries
The song is ironic, and the stage show was cheeky and reflecting that and I'm sorry for people who take it way too serious and can't relax one bit, but in no way was it any more sexual than most pop stage shows we got in mainstream music of the past decades. If people are so hurt by it, they should move to Saudi Arabia or join the Latter Day Church or something
. Cleo did a good job vocally and was charming and entertaining, if you can't see that then I feel sorry, but taste aside this
was killed by judges and
not because of the song or because Cleo and the singers/background dancers did a bad job (because they surely didn't). Sure, I didn't expect the judges to love it (because we know their very narrow-minded and dated taste by now), BUT the blatant way it was put DEAD last in the semi and final ranking by some countries' juries who expected it to be a popular with their televoters and then in a cynical move wanted to prevent any success, now that is just a pathetic weak move and whether one like the song or performance doesn't really make that right.
Oh and btw, you want tacky? Take a look at the winner! There you have 3 minutes of pure tacky. Still though, it was the public choice and I respect that and even if I dislike the song, the tacky performance and the act and the fact that political hype helped it win, I still can admit that some juries of some countries purposely didn't support it because of political reasons. It's a bit sad though that people can't be mature enough to admit the same when it was directed at another entry (even if they disliked it). So again, just because you and some others disliked it and didn't "get it", doesn't mean everyone agrees with you or that what some juries blatantly did was right. That to me is just immature to applaud sabotaging just because it fits YOUR taste.
I am still disapointed with the juries and I want to forget about what happen to our enrty but your constant writing about the wrong choice of the juries makes it hard to forget.
, but mostly it's just like the first days/week after Eurovision, like a bad hang-over or something, then I get back to my standard mode... anyways, most people I assume don't like me in here regardless, but that's fine. I'll express my opinions and that's it.
