In 2007 as wellI agree soo much on this ! The Eiffel Tower on a french staging at Eurovision appeared only 1 time in 2017 with Alma and this was the only time I believe for the adult contest. In Junior Eurovision, you had Valentina and Angelina only in 7 editions. So only 3 Eiffel Towers in more than 70 participations but people act like we do this every year.
It's weird but it will continue again and again
It should surprise a total of zero people if this ends up topping the jury score. If they admired that absolute dirge from North Macedonia in 2019 out of nowhere, it's fair to assume this meets their safe and conventional requeriments. This also has the potential to hit with the older generations and earn a respectful result televoting-wise in Marco Mengoni style. He's a beast vocally but i just can't connect with this no matter how hard he tries.
I usually understand the jury's decisions. But N. Macedonia from 2019... that remains a mystery. Especially with songs like Arcade in the final.
I guess the feminist message? Her facial expressions? Don't like to be too harsh on an underdog country getting their moment in the sun but that song was such a nothing burger...that year in general proved that juries can reach new levels of stupidity.I usually understand the jury's decisions.

if the juries help this after they slaughtered Grande amore.........
About the level of 'Spaceman' ? The song that would have won but for the war in Ukraine. Let's hope soIf France comes second, what will the winner be accused of:
Bets are open
- That he took LSD behind the scenes.
- Human trafficking.
- Of being part of an alien race that wants to conquer the world.
P.S.: defining "Mon Amour" at the level of "L'Essenziale" and "Due Vite" is a mortal sin. Personally it's not even the level of "Voilà" and "Tout L'Univers. It's probably closer to "Spaceman" with the only difference being that Slimane is vocally superior to Sam Ryder.
In my opinion Chanel would have won. Third in the televoting and third in the jury vote in a drugged edition. The United Kingdom, on the other hand, benefited more from the jury's higher vote because it had already been chosen as the venue to help Ukraine host. And also because the UK is anti-Russia par excellence. However, the conspiracy theory holds up. In fact, only one Big Five could have second. Why? Because if, for example, the Czech Republic, an extra-Big Five nation had hosted the competition, the same nation would have acquired the right to qualify for the final.
