That is an odd statement. I mean, how does a woman sound or act like?

Like a woman??I am sorry but i am not much into all this new femenism speech so i dont really know how i have to answer to this... I dont know i just thought midnight was a man. I suppose i am sexist or heteropatriarcal or my ass.

Don't worry, I am not into feminism myself - I am a woman, but in my eyes it should be NORMAL to treat man and woman the same way. And actually it happened myself too when I started posting on this page, I thought a user to be a female just to find he was male and vice versa in some other cases. Sometimes even an avator can be misleading. Guys having female avators and I think automatically it's a woman. Just to make sure: I am not a dog.

I dont know i just thought midnight was a man.

You’re not the first one.
But, yes, in fact I am neither bi nor lesbian nor non binary nor anything else, just a regular straight woman. Doesn’t matter if anyone thinks I‘m male, it‘s alright, I'm not mad. It's simply not relevant in a Eurovision forum unless of course one is looking for tall men

 

[midnightsun]

Yeah, I remember it very well. An article published a few years ago claimed this country to be The Netherlands.

Comparing the numbers I‘ve posted it makes sense. The Netherlands are paying almost as much as the big five. I wonder what Sweden has to pay, I always thought they are pretty much involved too.

And in German it makes total sense. Die Mitternacht, die Sonne.
How could one ever think otherwise?

 

[Chorizo]

It is Friday afternoon in Spain, evening in Europe and I cannot be totally wasted in a gay sauna looking for love... I am at work... Life is shit. Please vote for Chanel.
191.. U?

You were writing on Saturday morning that it's Friday afternoon in Spain and evening in Europe.

I have to say you are quite tall for a Spanish guy. ¿Are you sure you are a Spanish man and not two kids playing an adult?, one standing on the shoulders of the other while wearing a trench coat or possibly a bathrobe, like Hong Kong Phooey.

I'm less than two meters, so not really according to your taste, I'm afraid.

Music video views are irrelevant to scores at the contest though, Efendi has like the third highest music video viewership of the 2021 entries and look how that turned out

Makes me wonder if I have been mistaken for a woman before.

On the other hand, I consider the numbers of this ranking to be relevant but I believe that the views of the official videos are even more relevant. We would be amazed at how many nations manage to get great views thanks to the light of the Eurovision Song Contest while the true power of a song is determined by how much it shines with its own light.

But the general Eurovision audience is not viewing the songs now, 85% of the Eurovision viewers see the song for the very first time on the night of the semi or grand final

 

[Zerocalcare]

You are absolutely right but we can say that there are similarities. The YouTube views on the Eurovision Song Contest channel are mostly "fans inside the bubble" while the views of the original videos are those of the general public that approaches the song regardless of the Contest. That's why I say to trust the views of the original videos more.

Makes me wonder if I have been mistaken for a woman before.

At least not from my side. But don't know about some others.

 

[Lindon]

WWB guys just said they will provide through out the week HD TV quality footage of the acts at the London Eurovision party. So we can hope for sound without terrible background sound.

 

[Ezio]

Music video views are irrelevant to scores at the contest though, Efendi has like the third highest music video viewership of the 2021 entries and look how that turned out

I'd still see Austria rather at the top than at the bottom of this list, given that we are a small country and 90% of the attention comes from abroad, but not from ourselves. Vincent Bueno only has 1 M views since more than a year, and his live performance is at 290K views.

No hate for Sheldon but I think Voyager were robbed they would have been my winner this year
