I‘m just very confused right now tbh. Even more than I usually am.
This user even says "I have proof but I don´t write it here". Sorry but I can´t take this serious at all.

Also I apparently have personal connections to Sweden… guess I‘m part of the conspiracy then? Hopefully my Swedish cash is gonna arrive soon.This user even says "I have proof but I don´t write it here". Sorry but I can´t take this serious at all.
That was something that I was wondering about as well. Eurovision seems like a group project in school where Sweden is the nerdy dude (nobody really likes) who does all the work haha.The Swedish delegation are working to better the contest and I must applaud them for the hardwork, though. The change to the voting in 2016 is very refreshing and it works to acknowledge both jury and televote points. It's one of the best voting changes I've seen.
If we're trying to put it in another way, are other delegations simply not interested in working on reform? I feel Norway or Italy's delegations would love to take part. On the other hand, Melfest is pretty stable as a national festival, so I can see why it might be a model for the reform.
My question is, in some batshit unexpected alternate universe where Finland and Sweden swapped places (ie. Finland won juries and Sweden won televote but Finland won the contest in the end), will the ESC fandom be having this meltdown and conversation of an "unfair"/"rigged" win?
Or will it be "Oh yar, that's fine. Thank Goodness for the juries for doing what they are supposed to do."
Just putting this out there.
I only see alphanumerics. Did you post your password here?Results based on average ranking:
Maybe this is super random but can tell me if there was ever some beef between Duncan Laurence and Mahmood?
During the year they finished 1st and 2nd they had zero interaction despite also both winning some Marcel Bercenzon awards and being seated closely to each other in the green room (just like unfortunate Amira was next to Carola in 1991 and even prefered to hug with 2nd-runner-ups Duo Datz LOL). I wish we would've gotten any pictures of them as we did from Käärijä and Lorén this year but never. My hopes where raised up again when the two of them participated on the Liverpool Songbook this year but Mahmood was not even in the frame when all singers entered the stage behind Duncan for the reprise of You never walk alone.
The inner ESC-nerd in me always wants to have these iconic pictures from the winner and the runner-up as we had e.g. with Cliff Richard and Massiel and sometimes the interaction is just not caught backstage.
To see Mahoomd and Duncan commenting on each others posts at least would give some satisfaction. If I have missed something enlight me but for the moment they seem to me like the Julia Roberts and Sandra Bullocks of ESC in avoiding each other at any cost.
Idk about Australia (though the lead was definitely live), but I'm pretty sure Cyprus was live during the verses, but drowned out by backing vocals dubbing the lead in the "ooh" part, and Poland was just heavily dubbed most of the way through...Just rewatched Australia. No one has said anything yet but I feel like this is a complete performance from a backing track, besides the lead singing. Doesn’t sit right with me, together with Poland and Cyprus. How they pulled off the song the last minute on stage, I don’t believe that was live at all.
There is a comment that explains it very well. It's a chord progression and not protected by copyright laws. It's a normal thing. This hate train against Loreen is embarrassing. She won. Get over it.
That was a such a moment! I was so happy to see them, not just the queens but also the diverse group of dancers (in terms of body type, especially).This is still one of the highlights for me:
In a world where being queer is slowly starting to become frowned upon again - the BBC and UK rewrote the rule book and shoved drag on stage in front of millions of Europeans, including countries with a less than ideal history of supporting their LGBT+ citizens!
I was truly humbled to witness this in the arena during my show too! P.s, my girl Tomara (in blue) features here and I am still GAGGED she got this huge gig!!
