there's a youtuber called stuart maclean who explained the show's downfall very well - the main reason why the show failed was because american tv is DEPENDENT on advertising and having numerous ad breaks throughout each broadcast
you gotta love ghali and dargen for being very loud about their support for palestine on national television during one of the biggest events of the year
"omg we can't lose israel and azerbaijan there wouldn't be enough countries😤🥺🥺" well no!
🇲🇰 north macedonia is most likely returning this year, 🇸🇰 slovakia is probably returning next year, 🇲🇨 monaco is also definitely returning soon and we just got 🇱🇺 luxembourg!
I get that russia is a terrible country but you can't go around blaming everyone just for being BORN in russia she literally left the country a long long time ago
right okay this is fair and the situation in slovakia is extremely fucking concerning but like there's also another certain broadcaster we should be focusing on😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃

i think a lot of people fail to realize that escz is mainly a way for czech artists to promote their songs to an international audience
the czech delegation is not big and it doesn't have a lot of money and yes the selections aren't the most professional and prestigious...
🔹 The Big 5 + host country will perform LIVE in the semi-finals.
👉 They will perform live in the same semi-final they will vote in.
👉 Their performances will be mixed in between competing countries' acts.
FINAL:
Let's now take a look at the average final results, with the 10 most likely Q's from each semi. As you can see, Italy is the most likely winner, but were looking at a very tight race, where the distance from 1st to 7th is only 85. Let's now look at each country one by one
think about it, during eurovision most broadcasters go insanely long times without showing any ads, some even showing no ads for the entirety of the programme. in america that's just not possible, and nbc had to do ad breaks after every two or three asc performances
🚨🇨🇿We found a video where the representative of the Czechia at Eurovision 2024, Aiko, violated one of the strictest rules of the competition. In the video, the singer performs her competition song at the Czech festival, which took place on June 23, 2023.

i'm so dissapointed wtf. i used to look up to jan, i saw him as one of the few people in our country who actually cared about eurovision and tried to make a change. what the actual FUCKKKKKKK idk what to feel rn
Not only is this video slanderous and full of lies about me, it also suggests that the Holocaust happened because Jewish people didn't stand up for themselves (clip attached)
Please report it.
i love eurovision and appreciate it so much. it's given me so much joy over the last years. i will never ever forget the eurovision song contest truly i won't. 🫶
the worst thing about this is that it will backfire massively!
people WILL boo israel people WILL sneak palestinian flags in people WILL send hate to the artist and the delegation and people WILL start to boycott the contest how tf aren't they realizing all that
I AM GOING TO CRY IN THE MIDDLE OF CZECH CLASS OMFG THIS IS THE BEST DAY ON EARTH AIKO IS A EUROVISION ARTIST AIKO IS A EUROVISION ARTIST AIKO IS A EUROVISION ARTIST
those numerouds ad breaks meant that whenever viewers started getting bored, or whenever they heard two songs they didn't like, they just got the chance to switch the channel. and most of them never came back to asc.
the problem i have with i wrote a song is that this is a song that sounds like it was literally written just to be like tiktok succesful or some shit because the lyrics are so awful and gimmicky
🇽🇰 alternative scenario if KOSOVO got accepted into eurovision 2024:
- first confirmed song in october, it's "oj kosovë" by la fazani
- nobody cares abt it, ppl consider kosovo to be doa
- they get drawn into semi-final 1 (cuz equal semis duh)
in a contest where ai is an extremely controversial topic i actually find this song almost disrespectful tbh! like how are you singing abt having an ai lover when ai is actively destroying the industry that pays your bills 😭it's all a bit insane to me
this was just absolutely perfect. the vocals, choreo, atmosphere, energy, just everything about this was really really polished. agoney is such an amazing performer and even tho i don't love the song he managed to compeletely convince me
people calling vesna's song eurovision winning worthy 😭😭😭 btw y'all also did that with frey and it didnt went welll pls be serious for once they would barely qualify if anything
this year's eurovision has helped so many right wing conservatives spread their harmful narratives. i've never ever ever seen so much hate directed towards lgbtq acts in eurovision. what the fuck. cancel this shit immediately.
literally like... just two weeks ago if you told someone that belgium, estonia and australia would make the top 10 and place above spain and france they would LAUGH in your face and call you a bad liar WHAT ARE THOSE RESULTS
y'all omfg big brother czechia and slovakia is such a mess it's honestly incredible😭
there's this one dude who acts like a loving christian (lowkey homophobic) but now he got disqualified because someone found out he was in one of slovakia's most dangerous gangs???$?#! HELPPPP
@itsweirdasitis
one company cant keep the entire contest alive. it's been revealed that it was already difficult for the ebu to find sponsors for THIS year's contest and israel is "just" competing
well yeah this SURELY isn't the way to go. i really appreciate čt making these steps towards what could once be a huge nf with amazing production but so far what we're seeing is genuinely not good! not good at all!
i don't want croatia to win as a song but real talk croatia winning would be the best thing for the contest
it would be cheap for all the countries to attend (or at least way cheaper than this yr) and it would attract at least like 3 or 4 ballan countries back to the contest
Y'ALL
together with eurodavid we are working on this fun project called our second eurovision!
basically it's like our own ogae second chance contest but much better because y'all get to select the entries😍😍🙏
