[ESC United Mod Team]

This thread is for any general Eurovision 2023 discussion not limited to or specifically about any country's national selections or song choices.

Given some of the wild predicitions I see people making online I'm convinced half of the fandom haven't ever seen a single second of Eurovision.

This is terrible!!!! Wtf

Absolutely terrible decision by the EBU, I feel so bad already for the NQ artists

Ah, so we are actually watching BGT this year.

This makes me so uncomfortable. Idk why they changed it? If it's not broken don't fix it. The greenroom celebrations were great and worked fine, those who failed to qualify weren't humiliated on national TV in front of a camera. Here they will be. Probably one of the worst changes, if not the worst change they've ever done.

I think it´s better if I don´t say what I´m thinking now.

It was a joke tbh, but i've seen people prepared to die on hill convinced of Lithuanias victory and things like that.

Whyyyyyyyyyyy?!

 

[Fierro]

Also not to be a bitch or anything @Fierro this is the first time a contest is hosted on one location (UK) attempting to depict the culture and love for another country (Ukraine) how can you not be interested? Almost ungrateful

Woah woah what's these personal attacks?

Yes, I will decide on my own, I didn't say that I'm definitely skipping it. But I'm really not in the right mood this year. And most of the rehearsal clips I saw didn't impress me, rather the opposite. Even though I love the stage and overall atmosphere

 

[Leydan]

It's the fact they don't even have their teams around them to celebrate or commiserate with either. Just stood there on their own. Tbh I hope the fans in the arena make noise and boo this.

 

[Gitte]

omg the talent show type of announcing the qualifiers looks so incredibly shitty. Why. I truly want to see their reasoning for this, and the apparently annoyingly charismatic and convincing person who proposed it needs to be fired.

 

[Bobjan FR]

Now there is a break, they interview the 5 first candidates, the others are still waiting. my gosh.

 

[MopManMoss]

Why are they also asking them questions during the qualification system this is so so bad and pointless

 

[ESC94]

Who had this stupid idea?? Österdahl?? I found him unlikeable from the first moment I saw him.

 

[Leydan]

Literally. Dragging it out way longer than it needs to be and then cutting it off for a pointless discussion people wont care or want to see in that moment.

 

[Wynnter]

Apparently they still show the delegation celebrating in the green room and just.....?????????

What is the point of all this changing?

 

[0scar]

Horrible horrible horrible

 

[Realest]

We should give this new System a fair Chance before judging.

 

[0scar]

A six-way split screen it is getting even WORSE

Why am I not suprised that you defend this??
