No! I didn't use
as an argument! I just weanted to say that in GENERAL music experts say that Opera and Jazz are quality music!
So... why even use opera as an example? Opera has never fared very well in Eurovision...
Yes! Really! There is no good music or bad music! Is just music!
Then why even vote about songs? Just make it a 3-hour concert.
The only way to judge it is with your ear and that's it!
No it's not.
I am not upset that I don't have 100 %. I am upset that a jury member has 10 % of my country votes and he votes for free and I have like 0,001 % and I have to pay for it. Also he can vote 10 entries from 1 to 12, while I can't vote like that because If I would've sent 12 SMS's for
, 10 SMS's for
, 8 SMS's for
[....] and 1 SMS for
I would've payed 58 Euros and I would've needed 3 telephones!
That's because you apparently think there's no difference in quality between Portugal's entry this year and, say, Italy's. I'd pay good money to keep people like you from having 10% of the power.
Let me explain. I don't know who was in the Swedish jury, but in the German jury 3 out of 5 were ladies, either young of age or in a modern rock oder dance band that is in the charts at the moment or both. You can't call them a "professional musician". They are just band members. I don't think they vote from a professional point of view. They just voted with heir personal preferences just as the other German inhabitants did. So the jury makes no sense for me apart from the fact that 5 people have the same influence as thousands of people.
That's not a problem with the jury system, that's a problem with the jury selection system. The EBU needs to be better at selecting jury members, which is another thing altogether from how 50% jury voting works.
Jury members aren't
doing their jobs if they're simply voting according to personal tastes. And such incompetent nincompoops should be fired and never be allowed to be part of an Eurovision jury ever again.
You are right! I just can't get over
being in the Final when no one said they like it, but I will belive you that Evelina amazing voice had nothing to do with the song qualifying and it's because they liked it!
I've personally seen several people say they liked it and that they voted for it. Also, believe it or not, there are televoters who vote partially or largely according to who sings better.
But that was told by Nadine Beiler of Austria as well - I posted it in the thread about the final.
Except the story in the Armenian newspaper is about the 2010 contest and not the 2011 contest. Since Azerbaijan wasn't excluded from the 2011 contest, I must assume the EBU investigated the 2010 accusations and came to the conclusion that it was bovine manure.
And Nadine Beiler is hardly a credible source. How would she even know whether or not the juries had been bribed or pressured?
"Eric Saade totally killed som guy last week. He's also a child molester! And Christer Björkman totally bribed 7 different juries to give Sweden their 12-pointers!" - Me, 2011.
I guess that since we have
one source for those claims, they must be true!
