This thread is for any general Eurovision 2023 discussion not limited to or specifically about any country's national selections or song choices.
Sounds like Moldova to meIts about time Azerbajian NQ'd again, its been a long time coming. Corrupt country that shouldnt be participating in this contest
When do they not?
As a Scandinavian I kind of agree. But mostly, and usually, when it comes to Sweden.LOL. At this rate, may as well change the name to Scandinavian Song Contest. #justsaying
UK is in good way as a 3rd favorite Albanians countryAnd I will add Italy has by far the largest Albanian diaspora: approximatively 430,000 Albanians live here in Italy, just saying...

Slot 11 has the third worst qualification of any slot in the producer decided running order history I believeCan someone explain to me why production is apparently favouring Sweden, by giving them slot 11 in the running order? Isn't that just right after a break, so they have time to set up the LED sandwich? Statistically it's one of the worst slots. And the only Semi winner that started from slot 11 was Loreen herself in 2012.
As you said, i think it's for the echo with Loreen's participation in 2012, when she was the 11th. Nothing else.Can someone explain to me why production is apparently favouring Sweden, by giving them slot 11 in the running order?

And why is performing last apparently a statement that they want Finland to win?! Czechia and Armenia closed the semis last year, so was production rigging it for them? Aren't they just putting prop heavy stagings last and prefer to close with energetic songs, with Finland fitting both of these criteria?
These "EBU only favors Nordic countries" conspiracies make zero sense. It's exhausting.
I think that is putting meaning into something that's a coincidence.As you said, i think it's for the echo with Loreen's participation in 2012, when she was the 11th. Nothing else.
And it has the worst qualification rate if you only count televotes.Slot 11 has the third worst qualification of any slot in the producer decided running order history I believe
So... the producers gave Sweden the worst slot for a televote-only Semi. And people want to tell me that they give Sweden special treatment? They are probably just confident that Sweden can qualify from any slot and spared another country this death sentence.And it has the worst qualification rate if you only count televotes.
