heywoodu 13,663 Posted May 12 #841 Share Posted May 12 (edited) Here as well the calls by the right-win politicians had their effect. Edited May 12 by heywoodu If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Swewi 306 Posted May 12 #842 Share Posted May 12 I wonder if some artists withdrew in last minute from the show acts of the final because I think the semi final productions were much better. A bit dissapointed as I ignored watching the songs and only watched the show acts and voting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Federer91 2,212 Posted May 12 #845 Share Posted May 12 After sleeping it over, i think i'm ready to change my opinion on yesterday. The protesters should have stormed the building, fought with the police, caused riots, that would have cancelled the contest and disgraced the EFU. It would have been a much better outcome.

He just comes across as very fake to me. He was also one of the ones who bullied the Israeli girl. Edited May 12 by Cinnamon Bun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajiv 27 Posted May 12 #847 Share Posted May 12 Viewing this as an outsider I confess that I am somewhat bewildered why this event is so popular especially with people here. It's full of music that no one would ever pay money for (admittedly there have been good songs in the distant past) and its greatest fans are either teenage girls or members of the LGBTQIA+ community (not that there's anything wrong with that) Guess it's a European thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think one problem with some Eurovision artists is when you make your sexuality your entire identity and it leaks out into the performance as well. I don't really recognise the Years & Years Olly nowadays, seems like an entirely different person. Only his voice sounds similarly at some points.

Fer GUA 138 Posted May 12 #849 Share Posted May 12 10 hours ago, Makedonas said: 11th place for us in the end was disappointing, I didn't really expect to finish outside the top 10 (thanks juries ) and I'm not sure where we go from here, because Marina is pretty big in Greece and many Greeks (including myself) always thought she'd be perfect for Eurovision. We haven't reached the top 5 since 2008 (although we've been in the top 10 many times since then). It's also weird to think that Stefania (2021) and Amanda (2022) got Greece in the top 10 but not Marina considering the hype she had how unique she was and how heavily favoured she was in the odds to finish around 5th-8th or so. It was that horrendous diaper skirt she wore, hahaha, sorry, just a joke, but the outfit was not good. I enjoyed the song since I first heard it, I placed it in my top 9.

Don't think Israel scoring high had a lot to do with right wing/centre left and right politics. Like I said before people don't like bullies, they'd have seen how much Eden was getting wrongly booed for doing nothing wrong and voted her to fight back against those who have been bullying her all week.
