This thread is for any general Eurovision 2023 discussion not limited to or specifically about any country's national selections or song choices.
still: nope!Sorry... 10000000000000x2 % lol
Obviously I know 100% is the max but the point is still the same
Girl I swear some ESC fans cannot understand what they read kldfgjdfhk
If grannies baking bread or men on hamster wheel qualify, it's not going to be because of the new system. They would have qualified regardless, and in the final the jury will be able to balance out their points just like they used to do. It is not changing the final outcome at all. As a matter of fact, the jury rarely impacted the qualification chances of a gimmicky act.
The main motive of the new system is to avoid fraud. Indeed, a pannel of 6 juries is so easy to rig. It blows my mind why it took so long to actually realize. I don't think the incident last year was the first one of its kind.
I'm not against the juries per se, I am radically against how they are being used at the moment.
There should be at least 50 juries, and a clear guideline to remind them this is not "the Voice of Europe" but a "SONG CONTEST!!"
I can't believe how many ESC fans are against democracy and supporting corrupt groups of people to have so much influence
Also, do people even remember the days when juries had all the power? It was dreadful, the more dated ballad the song was the better it got treated (and there was an extreme skewed bias for English and French on top of that). Eurovision was like literary 30 years behind any music trends (and not in a charming retro way, it was just pathetic), and we can see the juries didn't change much in their "taste", still being years behind and afraid of anything that is being different than pushed on Western adult radio.
Why do we want a contest so dreadfully dated and boring that it's being laughed at? People claim that it's the few gimmick acts that people laugh at, well in every year I have been watching ESC together with fans and non-fans alike, it's always those dreaded dated generic ballads that gets the most criticism, people literally leave the room. No one wants "The Voice of Europe" with 5 wailers after each other trying to recreate some 90's Mariah Carey ballad (but worse), yuck.

I think they should change televoting so that people only have one vote, that would be a fairer system.
According to Leaks, Loreen will be dethroned this Year.
