EUROVISION 2023 - FINAL REHEARSALS AND LIVE SHOW DISCUSSION

[MopManMoss]

I think it was a brazen move to show a table of historic number of wins this time. it hasn’t happened before, but this time it was meant to give away a spoiler that it’s gonna change.

I took that to be about the return of Luxembourg

When will the EBU Board of Executives start to celebrate diversity? Last 20 years and going forward, we have 2 Swedes and a Norwegian running the show.

What would eurovision look like under Eurovision Executive Supervisor Ezio?

I don't what deranged Austrian representation would be.

However, I would only implement meaningful changes, such as forcing juries to vote for Austria, we have a 10 year anniversary in 2024 also, but then again in 2026 a 60 year anniversary, and I would make sure that Sweden gets bad running orders in every contest.

Mae Muller is still on vocal rest btw shes gonna smash it when she comes off it when the sun explodes

Hold the fuck on… Armenia was NOT last in Azerbaijan‘s jury voting.
It was Portugal apparently.

 

[Ajeje Brazorf]

All talking about the juries, but Finland giving 0 to Sweden in the tele is sus aswell... Expecially when you think of the voting patterns between those countries in recent past.

Nope, Portugal was last on Azerbaijan's televote.
Armenia didn't finish last on either their jury vote or their televote! In fact, they even came 20th in the jury voting

I read somewhere that their commentators told people "to vote strategically": Incredibly ridiculous, if it did indeed happen.

Dear @MopManMoss, as I write this, I am very sad. Martin Österdahl has been overthrown and replaced by the benevolent General @Ezio. All hail @Ezio and his glorious new regime.

Yea you are right.
What’s even going on with this world? Greece not giving 24 points to Cyprus, Armenia not being last in Azerbaijan, Finland not voting for Sweden…
I am shocked.

Its ok every Serbian juror put Albania last not everything is weird this year

Expected. She said a day prior to the GF that Kosovo and Albania are 2 daughters of Great Albania. From Serbian POV that's like - instant byegones.

It's wondrous what a major jury scandal can do. For one year, at least.

 

[popavapeur]

I wonder how much Sweden lost in televote points being called "huge favorite" there's always this thing where people hate to be told what they're supposed to do or think. So we say "she has a huge chance to win" so people are overly critical about the act. I felt she could have won more televote points if commentators would shut the f up and that will make a more interesting tv event to watch if commentaotrs didn't spoil people beforehand.

besides that, i'm wondering what is gonna be the next trend. obviously 2023 was the Slomo dance break as saw in Poland, Israel, Armenia (did I miss someone ?) so which country that placed well but didn't win will influence 2024. Hope it's not ballads lol cause hell no

This shows everyone was trying to vote fairly except for most juries.

Honestly, Sweden‘s backlash is their own fault because they were trying soooo hard, by every means, to make that victory happen. They wanted it and they did it, by all means.
I think this is the reason why people are fed up with Sweden. Nobody likes overachiever if they reach their goals by foul play. They are imposters. They built the myth around them being Europe‘s greatest and people now standing in awe when they hear the name of Eurovision and Sweden in one sentence.
Even people who have nothing to do with Eurovision know the legend that Sweden is the biggest country in Eurovision. I had this talks a few times with casual people.
I wish Germany would give their big 5 spot to Sweden. So Sweden would have to pay at least for their own show.
