Juries didn´t make "Blackbird" 2017 qualify - they wouldn´t have saved "Aija" either.

Yeah pick one random act and generalize te hell out of it, this doesn't make much sense lol

I can totally understand the "perks" of having juries around if they save songs like 2018 or 2021, for example but it´s basically just "one song per semi per year" (max.) in recent years and they´ve been "outrageously wrong" at times as well (like killing off huge fan favourites like "Igranka" or making "Blackbird" fail.

But after last night´s results, I really don´t get such comments.

and might be a bit "meh" in terms of vocals or staging but it´s not like we had much to choose from.....
And would have probably qualified in a 50/50 semi... and it got the MOST views from ALL participants - including and - Isn't it just fair to see "the public´s favourite" to advance to the final? - I don´t care if they get 0 points by the juries on Saturday but at least, a fan favourite didn´t get killed in favour of 5 random people who were part of a talent show a decade ago voting upside down and prevent and from qualifying in 2019.

Im generally fine with no juries in the semis now but Ronela would have been in the final last year and she had no business being there on the Saturday

Fans chanting for juries basically just pick "" as their "argument" - and people are being pressed that didn´t qualify (eurovision.tv, eurovision.de, etc.).

Does it make sense?

Yeah, sometimes you win some and sometimes you lose some... no system is perfect - but dunno... most fans got 9/10 or 10/10 right after tonight´s show... I fail to see how juries would have prevented countries from qualifying last night.... Do we really miss in the final? ? ? I mean, I wouldn´t mind them but it´s not like they deserved to be in a jury´s Top 5 last night.

Also the most generic ballad/song accompanied by the best vocals of the night coming from a country "without diaspora in Europe and no real voting bloc" qualified () - And I´ve noticed quite some posts of fans whining about "no juries" because "such a quality entry" would never qualify... and here we are.... having to endure this watergun-body bags-mess on Saturday again.

Don't forget that if last year the semi was 100% we would have had Andromache also in the final

 

[Looren]

I´m sorry but I can´t stop laughing at comments wanting to have "juries back in the semis" because and didn´t qualify.

We want juries back to prevent stuff like to make it lmao

And well I thought that banning them was some stupid shit from the beginning, I thought 50/50 was the correct formula

 

[Citelis]

T/V only would have qualified even PKN in 2015

 

[Ezio]

I’m jealous

I have travelled to the UK 4 times. Jealous? Ireland once.

Why do you hate Wales

 

[Ezio]

Why do you hate Wales

Because I don't. Haven't had a chance yet.

 

[midnightsun]

Did you all want to qualify with that song?!

YES!!!!

But apart from that, you‘re absolutely right. Although some of my favourites might have been saved by the juries I don’t want them back for now. Let’s see how it’s gonna evolve in the future.

All NQ yesterday weren’t safe Q with juries either. The only borderline song that was a safe jury bet was Switzerland - and this qualified even without juries! So we don’t need them…
