He's entered it into a competition where the purpose is to have it ranked by people across Europe, but he really doesn't deserve to have his appearance ripped to ss also. That's just mean spirited and unpleasant. It's not enjoyable to read at all. Appearance shaming is real and I'm not afraid to point it out, and let me join in too whilst I'm at it ⬅ basically your messages.
Nah, I'm just really blunt in expressing myself (um in addition to a bad case of foot-in-mouthitis), though I'm also the first to admit I'm also really shallow and judgmental myself.
but I assume you could read the latter two simply from my posts lol. Having said all of that, I'm pretty chub myself and I absolutely loathe body-shamers myself, especially the fat-shamers, which is why people laughing at Netta's weight upsets me majorly. I regret that i gave off the impression that I enjoy look-shaming people, while the opposite is true. I don't think less of people because of their looks (I'd make fun of anyone's appearance, including my own, as long as I can find a fitting analogy), though I do tend to think more of others if I find them attractive, but that's normal human behaviour, right? Don't tell me your gay heart didn't start pumping at an excellerated rate at the sight of Lina Hedlund?
Oh of course not. Plenty of people that I find unattractive have won (or even won my rankings), but most of them are considered good-looking by others regardless.You are of course correct in pointing out that beauty is in the mere eye of the beholder, hence why you find Kobi attractive, while I think he's really homely. I was hasty in my judgment and foolish in assuming others would feel the same. Mea Culpa.
Having an unconventional look does put you at a disadvantage against people that have, say, more um, conventional charm, let us not kid ourselves. Song and message can alleviate it, with the caveat your song has to be effective at what it aims to be, of course.
It all comes down to charisma I guess, which is defined by all sorts of instinctive characteristics which take into account the physical but other things as well. For instance I think Victor Crone is a really handsome dude, but good lord the man is about as telegenic as a damp rag, I just can't with him. Likewise, I think Kobi lacks a certain charm, irrespective of looks (It would help if he, you know... smiled every once in a while) and the dirge-like style of his song sort of undermines any goodwill I could build towards him as well (a hurdle others do not have). It would help if 'Home' told us which oddshe overcame and what type of person he became, but it does none of that. The text is just white noise of the most depressing kind. it comes off as shallow, confirmation-starved and whingy which is not the intention, but nevertheless that is what I'm forced to perceive it as. And that sucks.
So I'm trying to understand you:
Fat-shaming is not ok to you bcs you can relate to that, but when people don't look good enough to you its funny to laugh at them. Nasty personality.
Let's not forget the fact that being obese is a choice while your facial features aren't.

Sad that people bash an artist like that based on nothing but appearance here in this forum... [MENTION=16481]BorisBubbles[/MENTION] I also challenge you to share a picture of yourself here, and let us judge how you need to compromise for your looks and lets see if you enjoy that
Normally I would decline, but you know what? Challenge accepted. It is precisely what I deserve
Bash away sweeties. (Until I delete this post next morning)

Oh no, i jest at anyone based on anything. There's a difference between mockery and downright bullying. I only do the former and mostly with affection. I do not intend to cross the line with any of my comments Deniz, but I realize that I have and I formally apologize. Certainly not my intention. Feel free to drag me tonight ! I more than deserve it
I remember at school there was this girl once that bullied an Indian friend of mine bcs of his looks and ethnicity and this reminded me of that, which is why I got enraged. What I did with her was, in NL we have kanalen as you may now, so one day when she did it again and we came back from a school trip I pushed her in it. She came back looking like an overcooked piece of broccoli and 3kg foundation = gone.
*duwt [MENTION=16481]BorisBubbles[/MENTION] in kanaal*
I will push every single appearance-basher into a canal untill the world is a better place
Apology accepted but pls be carefuly from now, I know its just way too easy to say something mean online...

WHAT??? That is horrible. I hope you don't equate me with those bullies, like... all I wanted to do was point out that people are shallow and nasty and that affects their actions, for the worse. Same as you do with this post, really. Although I totally set the wrong tone by comparing Kobi to a root vegetable and that's entirely my bloody fault (*rinses off all the canal water*)
(Maar ik ben wel opgelucht dat je mijn excuses aanvaard hebt. Dat doet me wel wat. Bedankt.)

[MENTION=16481]BorisBubbles[/MENTION] well kind of like how you detest people who fat shame (and rightly so), it just bothers me when I see people being called ugly etc. That stuff scars. I know from personal experience what it can feel like. Took me a long time to find any confidence in myself, when I shouldn't have lost that confidence in the first place. I could write a book on this weird journey I've been on. The emphasis put on appearance is what has distanced me away from a society I think we live in that's very shallow and mean, and Eurovision I guess is the closest I get to taking part in anything that could be considered close to that world I ignore. Sometimes the contest gives me sharp reminders of realities I try to forget exist.. if that makes any sense.
But anyway, I hope I didn't look too much like a police officer there. You can say what you want of course. It's just that I can only witness so many of my Eurovision husbands being called ugly before I say something. I think you get the point why I (and others) reacted to your post.
p.s. you've got a lovely charming smile. You might have deleted it now but I caught the pic!

Okay, after this there are only 2 options:
1) I kill you
2) I save your life but you manage to make Bulgaria return and pick Lili Ivanova for 2020...
Ok, Oto is not that good as Cher tbh
Serhat is too poor to be a sugar daddy
And while we're at it: your Johnny Sins voice cracks in each one of his live performances
*insert Alyssa Edwards gif*
Sorry if that was too much
I might have crossed a line here

Who is Johnny Sins though? I don't know him. And Oto is perfect as Cher. Even Cher can't do Cher as good as Oto Nemsadze. His John Lennon is perfection too.
Ladies and gentlemans..... JOHNNN..... LENNONNNNNN.
Wait.. at first I wanna say... cheerers. And glad gotin tambourine...... I say hi. I woll sing a song, the last in my life. How's that?
