Nobody cares for it (well, we're a small minority who do), still ends up watching and gets pissed by the result more or less no matter what. Nothing spells caring like the Danish jury awarding 8 to Finland, 10 to Norway and 12 to Sweden. NearPup and Olympian1010 1 1 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan Laurence was actually heavily involved in this year's act. As in, apparently he picked them, guided them and so on..... At least he can sing, because guiding and picking an act didn't go so well...

Europe is a continent defined by cultural homogeneity (whether it be clashes over differences, or bonding over similarities), so it’s not shocking “foreign” sounding entries struggle to garner votes (Albania and Spain as good examples). It just sounded very generic to a lot of ears. This is quite literally the first time I hear anyone say it sounded Arabic.... Plus, Europe voted someone with Arabic roots as winner....for the second time.

They should just accept at this point they have to embrace the latino reggaeton-type trash in order to have a chance It’s funny people think that is “Spanish” music. It’s certainly Latin American (and I’d have no complaints if they go that way), but this year’s entry is more true to traditional Spanish music. “Sport has the power to change the world.

In all these years have never seen Totallympics members happy about a winner I still remember the awful comments when Conchita won, for me one of the best song winners ever. Probably "Arcade" was the best well-received here in recent years? Olympian1010 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
