I see zero chance that he does it, considering how extremely online he is and the inevitable backlash he would get for his anglosphere Tiktok-fanbase from doing it, picture the Olly Alexander scenario but worse.

Honestly I don't really think any of Jaen's stagings this year were at the same level of Doomsday Blue. Might be due to Jaen being spread too thin with having both three countries including all of UMK, and also the fact that all of his songs were much less interesting than Bambie's in my...

TOTALLY missed that Blossoms frontman Tom Ogden was one of the jury members this year! Remember suggesting them in the UK thread of 2023 or 2024 (can't remember exactly lol). Still think they would be a pretty great fit and looking at their career trajectory it seems it'd be a nice boost...

Fingers crossed we actually get a Sanremo winner next year.

Molly Sandén is doing Het Grote Songfestivalfeest in Netherlands..? Is this a hint towards a return? Most likely not, but still think it seems beneath her to attend something like that for no good reason, she isn't really in the bubble anymore apart from being good friends with Edwin Törnblom...

https://x.com/ESCdiscord/status/1930267045356097871 The results will be determined by 50% international jury, 25% demoscopic jury, and 25% televote. The bald heads of the Benidorm audience will be glowing red in anger after this announcement... :(

Yeah, I think that once an artist have found success after distancing themselves from the Melfest bubble we won't see them again until they are certified has-beens. Danny was washed up when he returned. Maybe Ulrik Munther could return, he was in Björnzone after all. :) Would be nice to have a...

EMD just reunited, that's not suspicious at all https://www.aftonbladet.se/nojesbladet/a/B09OAQ/emd-aterforenas-datum-tid-och-plats-for-konserterna

No clue if he actually speaks Armenian or how serious he is about participating, but maybe the easiest way to ensure he gets chosen is to link up with a singer who lives there, speaks the language and could maybe sing the chorus and help the song have a more traditional sound or something like that.

After all the hype this year I think the most obvious prediction is a Swedish language song in UMK.

The reason for this flopping can be seen in the first 30 secs of the performance. He's trying to imitate a TV salesman, but looks stiff, uncomfortable and barely smiles. The dancer next to him seems so much more natural and charismatic.

Given how much Norway seem to like KAJ, maybe next year is the year we see Staysman/Freddy Kalas return or some russemusikk act try their luck?

It's like every person in ITV has gotten hit in the head, they have forgotten everything they learned from their Swedish years

No offense, but what exactly do they expect to find in an audit? Israel's votes aren't fake or comparable to Azerbaijan, they're just from very highly motivated individuals. Israel has zero need to cheat (unless you consider the advertisement campagins cheating I guess)

In a vacuum I have zero issues about people arguing that the Eurovision televote is racially biased against Afro-European performers. However I think people argue this point poorly by bringing up so many examples that I'd argue in large part can be explained by other reasons. Are we pretending...
