EUROVISION 2023 - FINAL REHEARSALS AND LIVE SHOW DISCUSSION

[MooseShoes]

People should start recognizing that it was logical and fair that Sweden was 1st and Finland 2nd. It was far worse with Keiino back in the days - a brilliant female voice and yet so few jury points. That was scandalous.

My own opinion of the song is colouring my opinion her, but she wasn't a female solo artist, was she?

 

[LakZaNokte]

I'm surprised you're surprised...

You are missing the point.

I am asking the same questions that are out there for years.

 

[slaviyolin]

Finland was so fun and I'm so happy they won the televote. But he got more then enough jury votes, let's be honest. If you think he should have gotten more jury points with these vocals and that performance, you're delusional.

And Loreen.. what a presence. Easily the most professional performance of the night. So well deserved. Just another reason to keep the juries in.

 

[MooseShoes]

Slovenia 21st???

BELOW SWITZERLAND???!!!???

 

[NeoTen]

EBU refusing to even release the semifinal voting is quite dodgy hahahaha. I'm not going to sleep until I find out who voted Albania through.

 

[Ajeje Brazorf]

In all this chaos, who the fuck won that painful second semi final? Not a single song qualified from there did well in the televote.

I think Armenia did but was overruled by Israel in the Final.

 

[cegs5]

It hurts when a country that struggle to get good results every year is stolen this way from a bunch of people who are devoted for average uninspired songs made in laboratories... but Ok that's how the business works.

Congratulations to Sweden anyway, Tattoo got a respectable televoting score.

As for Käärijä, he become in another Eurovision icon! The people's winner!

 

[blue00eyes]

Finland was bad sung live so 4th (?) with jury is very generous.

 

[digitaldude]

Anyone have links to Semis or final televote results?

 

[MopManMoss]

Echo NQing is a preview for Eaea's fate btw

I genuinely laughed like a Hyena when Spain got 5 in the televote

 

[PollyWantsACracker]

There were so many great songs this year, this winner is such an anti-climax.

I never question televote results because noone can influence people, they simply like you or they don't.

But what the juries did to Spain is unacceptable, and the fact that 10 out 13 juries' top 13 have gotten like 20 points from the public, speaks volume really.

As for Loreen, I never said anything about her personally thus far, I have not even given a comment about her nails, but now I will:

Your 30 minutes long escapades on press conferences, darling belittlings of other people, fake surprise facial expressions, fake gratitude expression - take them with you and don't ever come back, DARLING.

 

[Ajeje Brazorf]

Ok, so I am happy with our result! 13th is a great result! 6th in televote

However, 6th in televote and bottom 2 with juries?
That is a bit too much stretch.

And ofc, it’s not the first time it happened but every time it does happen, questions come up.

Anyway, thanks to everyone who voted for us, love from

Well honestly both your results, jury and tele, were pretty much expected...

 

[burrito]

You are missing the point.

I am asking the same questions that are out there for years.

how come? was exactly the kind of song that would get a lot of points from viewers but would be tanked by juries. Not sure what I'm missing here, it was not something that wasn't to be expected

 

[MooseShoes]

Finland was so fun and I'm so happy they won the televote.
But Loreen.. what a presence. Easily the most professional performance of the night. So well deserved. Just another reason to keep the juries in.

Again, my own opinions are an influence here, but surely the song itself should count as much as performance? Or maybe even to a greater extent? I know this isn't an exact science but we could have 26 performers giving us professional cover versions if professionalism is all we're judging.

That doesn't just go for Sweden, it goes fir Israel too.

 

[Etanna]

Finland was bad sung live so 4th (?) with jury is very generous.

at least it was actually sung live

 

[Irish Cameltoe]

As for Loreen, I never said anything about her personally thus far, I have not even given a comment about her nails, but now I will:

Your 30 minutes long escapades on press conferences, darling belittlings of other people, fake surprise facial expressions, fake gratitude expression - take them with you and don't ever come back, DARLING.

Yes, what's up with the new Loreen persona? Feels so fake.

 

[heke1988]

My succession: 25% juries - 75% televotes.

 

[Verjamem]

46 too many!

Actually, in 2021, Sweden shouldn't even been in a final, but it's not time to scratch old wounds

 

[ollibox]

WOW! A night full or surprises, eh?

 

[Etanna]

by the way wasn't there a surprise guest rumoured? People talked about Paul McCartney, Kylie Minogue and other names but nobody of that sort seemed to show up unless you count the introductory sequence
