Konig, we've competed in 14 contests. You should know you and I will never see eye to eye But when we finally do, the whole world will end.

Vektor 3,326 Posted April 11, 2020 #2762 Share Posted April 11, 2020 As I have said months ago, just be glad about that the US didn't pick Bad Guy or Old Town Road or a song from Lizzo or from Ariana Grande. dezbee2008 and dcro 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinipereira 3,240 Posted April 11, 2020 #2763 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Remembering the time I used some footage of the Rock in Rio (2017) Shaw Mendes concert at the Olympic Park for our annual contest in 2018 Spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What? 1. "Bad Guy" is great. / 2. I honestly believe it would have scored more points for USA. But to each their own ofc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I get now, but I seriously don't believe Old Town Road or any Lizzo song would get many points either. "Bad Guy" on the other hand was a worldwide hit and I think could get more votes that the Charlie Puth entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, there's always enough of a crowd that don't vote for songs such as that simply based on principle. Billie would probably not be any lower than 3rd, but might face the same antagonisation that Shawn faced today and some other artists in previous contests We're in this cycle of "Why can't UK and USA send their best representatives" and then we don't vote for them, because it's "unfair" for smaller countries that can't present a global artist or it's overplayed on the radio etc. Totallympics is fairly indecisive in this regard, because some global artists slipped through without any fuss and even won contests, so you actually never know how everyone is going to react in that particular year.

Wanderer 1,726 Posted April 12, 2020 #2769 Share Posted April 12, 2020 I think it is all the matter of the audience. I mean, you can pick All Shawn Mendes, Ariana Grande, Lady Gaga, Adele of the world they would still get big fat zero from me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderer 1,726 Posted April 12, 2020 #2770 Share Posted April 12, 2020 And The Stone Roses got 12 from me even thou they are really well... well known. But then again, there was @vovanA's legendary song: Pesnya O Tom Kak Gus Nashel Omlet which also got 12 from me... I want to believe people here vote on quality and preference, not on that whether the song/artist is famous or not. Also, I hope language is not a barier. Lithuania's Kitoks Pasaulis is something I will never forget, I sing that song in Lithuanian and but Werlocs provided translation which made the song even more perfect for me. I gave French song 12, lyrics are not something "wow" but all together made perfect combination to my senses... konig and Werloc 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
