Music Eurovision 2024

Come on. I reckoned it was one of the contenders when I heard it tonight.

Nice one Italy. 10 pts for Ireland

But surely you wouldn't expect it to be random? It was a good song, I can see why it's getting so much


It's not rigged, it's just they're all basically the same people. They all think the same.

Surely few of them should disagree now and then on giving Switzerland 10 or 12 points? Literally 9 of 10 countries voted 12 points to Switzerland, and they weren't even the favourites. I find it unbeliveable that no more countries gave Croatia, France, or someone like Italy at least 12 points few times more, absolutely unbelievable.
 
I've wondered what the type of Eurovision was about. Seemed like a silly singing competition but now, now I get it!
It's all about the ass! Thanks all and especially @HookedOnAPhelan

They were overwhelming favourites for the jury vote, in the odds.

You're saying this but sure what would be the motivation? Pick a random song and everyone votes for it?
 
Croatia or Israel will 100% win the public vote, but Switzerland will get enough points to win.

If not for Israel think Croatia would easily win it. They'll steal enough of the vote from Croatia..
 
Norway bombing as excepted. The reward for sending shit songs.
 
They really should change the system. It's crazy how the "big" deal is what a handful of people around Europe thinks, and the millions of people voting is just added on top after that.

The jury primarily evaluate the technical aspects of performances, so acts like Switzerland and France are perfect for them. I'm disappointed with the current rankings of Spain, Estonia, and Finland, but it fits the same perspective: fun songs, but not the technical sort of performance that these juries appreciate.
 
I might have been wrong about Norway being top 5 :nervous:
