heywoodu 13,540 Posted May 19, 2019 #451 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Can't we stop putting opinions down as 'facts'? Norway having a mediocre song is not a fact, it's your opinion Which is fine, but not a fact. 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!

And thanks Europe for the well deserved 0 points in Televoting. It's the deserved punishment for broadcaster NDR who did nothing to promote the Songs or singers in the last months or to help them in any way. And as always those that get punished in the end are the artists. To this day, I still can't understand the last place you got in 2016. One of the things that I dislike most about Eurovision is the attitude towards the Big 5, where only Italy gets praised and showered with love every year, while Germany, Spain and UK have an all-out brawl with the hosts for last place, combined with France somewhere in the middle.

I'm honestly most sad for Czech Republic. Apart from Mikolas Josef, the televote is brutally murdering them every single year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole thing with having pre-qualified countries (sure, apart from the host) is annoying.. I mean, I get it, they pay. But still.

THEY DON'T GET TO PERFORM IN THE SEMI-FINALS. They are shooting themselves in the foot hard with this one as they get the least exposure compared to other Eurovision artists.

Unless they can somehow pull it off of Lena did in 2010, I always believed that she was the exception to the rule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hated our last place in 2015. I loved Ann-Sophie and Black Smoke and think it deserved much better. 2016 was fine, I guess. I would never have ranked it last and felt sorry for her, but I didn't much care for the song either. But after last years (IMO, well deserved) success, NDR did nothing this year. They had a lackluster national decision, did nothing to promote the song (not even in Germany) and just look at their stage presence tonight. Oh wait, you can't, there wasn't any. Heck, NDR put the official Video on YouTube last Monday, literally months after everyone else. Oh how I miss the days of Stefan Raab. He knew how to promote his artists and how to set them in scene. Every single of the 6 Raab-entries finished in the Top 10. Out of the non-Raab entries there were only two this century. Michelle and last year Michael Schulte.
