[OFF TOPIC] Eurovision Song Contest 2023

[AsensioWillemsen 158]

What intrigued me more was  getting 189 televoting points with a bland and extremely mediocre song, purely pity voting and diaspora. It had some fun elements, but it was nothing more than 'ok'.

 

With any serious contender they will be on top again.

I am sorry for the behavior of our French representative with this middle finger..

Peaking to see the big activity here and what a surprise, that we have yet again a "scandalous outcome" by the looks of it.  Best thing i did was to stop acknowledging Eurovision's existence last year, just too much unnecessary anger. Also, Rest of the World votes, hahaha

To be fair, it is the Eurovision Song Contest, an event by the European Broadcasting Union  

 

It would absolutely be cool to have a worldwide event of this, with say the top-8 or so of every continent's own continental song contest going to the worldwide event, but I doubt that would gain as much traction nowadays as the ESC has built up throughout the decades..

Of course not, otherwise it wouldn't be called Worldvision after all. Just like the Oscars it should be opened for everyone to participate.
