Can someone explain to me why the order of either the semi-final rounds or the final rounds are not drawn? The fact that the delegations draw halves and production assigns them a running order seems totally unfair to me. Look at Czechia. Does it seem fair that we are one of the youngest countries at Eurovision and EVERY time it comes to the final (we have qualified five times) we get either 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 14th place from the EBU (with 14th place being first in the second half). Is this really fair? If this was a merit of draw, I can understand. But the running order is determined by the people!!! Then don't let the EBU be surprised that Eurovision has no popularity here (even if it is partly the broadcaster's fault) when they always assign us one of the first places. How is such a very unknown country supposed to make it in Eurovision when you always put it at the top which everyone forgets. In Czechia, everyone is focused on the result. If we do well, everyone appreciates the contest. When we don't do well, it's a political contest (yes this is what most Czechs think of Eurovision).

This is why I find the current system totally unfair.

We can only hope that there will be a longer break between Finland and Czechia.

Luxembourg coming back is so random, find it very funny that they haven’t been in since 93 yet have the same amount of wins as the UK

EBU is afraid of Eastern European neighbour voting. Benelux and DACH countries already thrilled. :sneaky:

This means they‘re going for televote only (at least semis) again next year.

This is why we need Belgium to break up into Flanders and Wallonia so Western Europe can win the televote wars

We‘ve seen similar experimental songs fail in the past. Conan Osiris, Alvan & Ahez, Eliza’s & Stojan‘s Samo Championi etc.
After the 2000s (when it worked back then because it was new) such songs never had a good result.

As Spain is popular and high in the odds I wouldn’t rule out it will be doing exceptionally well despite being such an experimental song. But at the same time I would not be surprised if it’s gonna end up as a massive fail.

Seeing EaEa be compared to Conan Oziris, Alvan, and Bulgaria 2013 (???), Echo...yall just be saying anything

Spain may not do well, but these comparisons make no sense when one performance is miles ahead of the other 4 combined.
