Let’s discuss the voting system! Thoughts on how to improve it? 100 % televote, 100% juries or in between? How can unfairness in televote and juryvote be prevented? How can influences, like betting odds, manipulation and other stuff be prevented? Let your thoughts flow!

Another little fun "game" while we‘re waiting for the finals… (you don’t need to answer everything) 2000 - 2023 Which ESC country / year had the best… a) stage b) hosts c) interval acts d) postcards e) green room / artist lounge f) logo g) slogan h) displayed song title / artist info at...

It’s time for the annual thread. Go ahead and tell us, what your people think of the Eurovision songs!

Fan Favourite Flops: songs that are very popular here in the forum (and the forum ranking) or on Social Media but flop hard (NQ or bottom 10 in the final). Dark Horse: (Unpopular) songs very low in the betting odds or last places in rankings that qualify surprisingly or get a surprising top 10...

::de Semi 2 Tough choice. Almost all of my favs are in there. Should I neglect my #1 Poland to spare votes for songs that need them more? What do you think? My votes go to :fi: :ee: :az: :mk: :au: (and :pl: maybe) And yours?

I don’t have any faders right now. Grower: ::it and ::no

And of course everyone else you‘d like to give the pleasure to. I started with my husband yesterday. Showed him all songs that have been released so far. Him not being a Eurovision fan I knew he‘d despise most of the songs and I was right. I was especially surprised that he didn’t like...

I have just listened to a relatively recent NDR podcast (October 2020) on the German jury and the way of voting. It might differ in other countries but I think it will be similar. It all starts with a jury casting: Markus Pingel, the NDR’s entertainment-editor, is looking for music...

Here we can discuss which gem has not been discovered by the masses but will later and which song overhyped by fans will fall from grace eventually (or, in the eyes of the public, in the finals). Dark horse: This year has potential for a lot of dark horses because due to the similarity of many...

And, of course, your dad‘s, brother‘s, sister‘s, lover‘s, cat‘s... What do people that are usually not into Eurovision like? I got the husband watching all videos with me tonight. It came as no surprise he didn’t like almost any of the songs. Since he‘s usually not into ballads this has been a...

Fader: none so far. all so good. :love: Grower: Moldova, Spain

Another year, some new songs - so far - but I did not have time yet to listen to each of the songs properly more than a few times. Which is good in so far my first impressions are very fresh. And as we know it might be a good hint what will go well with the public because most of the audience...

Feel free to state! Feel free to react or discuss! One statement per line. Simple and straight forward. No need to explain. It's YOUR opinion and it's ok. (Well, mostly. :mrgreen:)

I noticed there are two major and one minor genre of music in this year‘s Eurovision. Main genres this year are dance and ballads. I would like you to pick ONE song of each group, your favourite. I am thinking that in the final only one or two songs will get most votes, meaning that some others...

The first one is the most important, so I decided to start this thread again this year. I would love to read your very FIRST impression of the released songs after listening to them only ONE time (the first time). Most people change their opinion on the songs after they heard them an awful...

Guys, we're between ourselves here. You can admit it right here and now! What (ridiculous/funny/terrible...) song that no one seems to like but you stole your heart? I'm talking about songs that were voted dead last or didn't even qualify because people were laughing about it or found it...

While I'm constantly rewatching different song contests of all decades throughout the years I've been noticing something very interesting. It's my personal opinion though. There were lots of countries in the past that had a great song with the potential to win. Or, at least, do well. But they...

So - which are your most favourite songs ever that won the Eurovision Song Contest? I'd love to see your ranking. Please do at least a top 10, but if you have enough stamina, feel free to do the whole 66*-winners-list! (*since there were four winners in 1969, there are actually 66 winners in...
