This thread is for any general Eurovision 2023 discussion not limited to or specifically about any country's national selections or song choices.

All those times they gave us 12 points as 'close neighbours', oh wait this isn't Greece & CyprusI believe that the EBU somehow wants to "slightly push" since the is hosting and it´s always nice to have "close neighbours" in the final (look at and and , for example).
Also, I think that the Irish entry is quite anthemic. You can sing along to it very easily (it´s really bland, generic and slightly dumb, I´d say) - it´s perfect for being performed before a tiny break, imo. It´s an entry the general public could get behind because it´s so effing beige like 2019 or 2011 ... and aren´t Wild Youth kinda "known" in the UK? - I don´t think that the EBU/BBC want well-established and "semi/(lowkey)" popular artists to perform at #2.

I get the vibe that they'd rather re-join the Union than ever change their current Eurovision waysLiverpool is the closest Eurovision will be to Ireland in the 21st century
Ah yes that totally willing joining of the United KingdomI get the vibe that they'd rather re-join the Union than ever change their current Eurovision ways
The last time Switzerland had to follow the uber-favorite Sweden was in 2015, and poor Mélanie got an undeserved last place with 4 points (lower overall than San Marino and Finland) despite what I thought was a great live performance. I hope the same fate doesn't befall RemoI have nothing else to do:
SEMI 1
SEMI 2

Based on their selections this year, it seems like most of the cheating countries chose to punish themselves...I'm expecting :
SF1 : Malta opens, and maybe Israel close (or is in 14th)
SF2 : Belgium opens, australia close
I wonder if they will "punish" the cheating countries of last year...
Badly phrased question but no bbc employee gave an answer it was the guy from Eurovision hub, Alesia Michelle and some random scouserNot Eurovisioncast (an official BBC podcast) asking the question “who has the worst song this year?”
Spoiler alert; they chose Romania
