Oh, really? How thoughtful. I am sure at some point the glass will start spilling. We already had a big low in the past two years in terms of participants, and maybe from next year onward is gonna go down again.
This person has a big influence over EBU and he is meddling where he shouldn't be. The goal is not to make Eurovision like that Swedish festival - Melodifestivalen. The point system has been there before you were born, surely. Why change it? Changes were made during 2013 - fixed draw, ranking of the jury. Now, hosting again in 2016, changes to be made to make it look like MF. There suppose to be one set of 12 points. Most viewers, yes even the ordinary ones, will expect the 1-12 and the show to be over, not to wait for the televote total tally for each country.
It's not a good change. One can live with the ranking of the jury (if that was to whatever bring the diaspora vote down and have a more precise outcome), but this now is too weird. This change does not make the contest exciting! Just saying!
