Well these 2 songs were in different groups so you cannot say it was an upset for sure because these 2 songs did not meet until now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah...I’m pretty sure this was a strong upset. Nearly everyone complaining about a song’s success, and then, all-of-sudden, it flames out “Sport has the power to change the world.

dcro 10,210 Posted August 14, 2020 #1297 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Also, 'manufactured' loss of 7:0 seems like a stretch... It's not like mainstream songs always do well here. Often it is quite the opposite. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearly everyone complaining about a song’s success, and then, all-of-sudden, it flames out I get your point but I'm just stating fact. How can you say it is manufactured when this jury line up has never voted on these 2 songs before? Remember the jurors are shuffled as well as different nations meeting each time. And even if Costa Rica bomb out in the semis now it doesn't mean it's manufactured either . But I do understand your overall point. It is a messy format but it's a fun change at least. And that is the overall aim of this special edition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t want my experience of the annual and open ruined by a third contest. Yeah, I get your point. I realized it's not a good idea to do it annually, but it's just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
