Thank you for your very nice words
You act like Austrians are bland. But guess who wins the German televote every year? Germany. And we all know how Serbians in Austria vote, Albanians in Switzerland, Lithuanians in the UK, Armenians in Belgium, Turks in Germany. If there act was a broom stick with lipstick and a wig they would vote for it, no matter what.
Universo won the RTVe Contest in a landslide, burying all the other songs twice. So, I think Austrians took not that bait, only 33%. And Vincent almost lost the jury vote to Denmark and Germany. Denmark! Some jurors had a bias towards him, most of them didn't. For example, Cesar Sampson: sings a song with him one week, slaps him with a 5 pointer trout the other.
In a perfect version of this show, the Top 3 would have advanced to the superfinal, without Austria. Malta, Sweden, Iceland, thank god, not Denmark.
Really sad for Iceland though. If there was justice in this world, EBU would hold a studio version of song contest, crown Iceland the winner and Reykjavik will host it next year. Since Covid-19 is gonna stick around for 1 or 2 years longer, they only need a studio and not an arena.
The mini song contest ... Austria second? Seriously? Guess otherwise noone watched it. I am glad I didn't. All said / sad.

Hello. Anyone, do you intetest to have in your hands one replica 1:1 size eurovision trophy? Please if you interest please tell me. Same design, same material, same size (no mini trophy)
So now that Omni Television here in Canada has some holes to fill during what was to be Eurovision Week, it makes me wonder if they'll air something else ESC-related to replace the planned live shows, especially the special on the Saturday (all the 2020 shows were once again due to air on same-day delay at 9pm Toronto time). I'll keep my eyes peeled for any news

Does anyone follow Eurojury? Eurovoix is in the process of releasing the jury results groups by groups.
The result of each country's jury results is released in the format of just identifying who forms the top 10 in alphabetical order and highlighting which 3 of the 10 forms the top 3.
I was so free and I did a basic spreadsheet to see how each of the 41 country fared in terms of appearances in the top 3 and top 10 list.
So far, 36 countries' jury results have been released (out of the 42 countries) and I am pretty appalled at how they are.
Top 10 countries in terms of appearances in the top 10 list from the 36 countries' jury results:
The following 2 countries have not appeared in any of the country's jury top 10 list of so far:
Note:
* There 2 participating countries in the actual ESC 2020 that do not have a jury panel - Russia and Spain.
* 3 non-participating countries in the actual ESC 2020 are involved in the jury ranking - Bosnia & Herzegovina, Hungary and Slovakia.

Not sure if everyone is aware of this:
From the article, it suggests that some acts (who have been voted to the top 10 acts from the semi-final show consisting of the 40 acts minus Germany) may perform "live" in Germany. Not sure how true/accurate is that. If it's true, can we make sure Azerbaijan and Israel get a top 10 placement, so we may see them perform 'live"?
Germany to celebrate the 10th anniversary of their 2010 victory, and choose their own 2020 winner on 16th of May!
Germany has revealed the program which they plan for the 16th of May. They will organize a special show as a replacement for the cancelled Eurovision Song Contest, in addition to that, they are planning to mark the 10th anniversary of their victory.

If I recall it correctly, Cesár gave France 10/12. Now - for someone who is a member of Symphonix, and placed 3rd in the ESC your verdict seem to be a bit harsh...
Just because Cesár made it 3rd (and don't get me wrong, I loved Nobody but you!), it doesn't mean I have to agree on everything he says or rates. Even people I like or admire have their mistakes. I wouldn't say yes to everything they say.

Of course not. But I thought, to call somebody musically deranged just because he has a different opinion on sth. (especially giving his expertise in music) is a bit harsh. I didn't imply you were to change your opinion or copy his.
Ah you meant it that way, okay. Maybe I could have lightened my words a bit.

Mon Allieé is a fine song, beautifully composed and sung. The revamp elevated it even more. Same for Finland or Estonia. Sensitive men singing songs that they feel. Fans are even more dismissive nowadays. All what they want is yay yay fire. Cesar Sampson was hated too. France was a dark horse for a decent result.

If those songs were sung by, for example, Alma, Erika Vikman, Birgit Oigemeel or Nadine Beiler you would hate them too
