>>386058>What do you nonnies think, do you think this will impact next year's edition in any way?I think the only way the EBU will kick out Israel is if their contract with Moroccanoil ends this year and artists/their country’s broadcasters spend the summer still pushing them to answer for everything that happened this year.
They’ll definitely have to review how staff and artists interact with each other after Joost. Hoping we see a lawsuit from AVROTROS against the EBU this summer.
I think they also need to do a better job of vetting journalists and make clear boundaries for them. The behavior I saw this year primarily from Israeli journalists was appalling and completely unprofessional. Unprofessional behavior should lead to journalists being kicked from the venue/having their press credentials revoked

>>387881>>387930>I haven’t enjoyed the full show from start to finish since 2021I feel the opposite. Looking back like 10 years the quality of the songs and performances were so shit, I always used to be bored with 90% of the songs and at most like 2-3 songs. The last 4 or so years maybe I've loved the show so much, I've enjoyed watching all of it even if I didn't like all songs. And there's significantly more songs I do actually enjoy now. The political stuff is annoying of course, but I guess since I never really care who wins it's not too big of a problem to me.
I think one of the best ways to enjoy the show is to quit all social media, literally don't read any of it, and just watch it with your friends. If you hadn't checked social media you wouldn't have known about the joost stuff or that israel was booed by the crowd. It would just have looked like a nice fun show.
No. 387989
>>387981Nta. There's no evidence but strong suspicions. It's not like EBU is going to give us the facts on a silver platter.
>>387881It's been less fun to me ever since I discovered betting odds a few years ago and how scarily accurate they are. There's a few misses every year obviously but they're at least 75% accurate. The show gets largely decided before it even takes place.
That said the song quality has gone up sooooo much in recent years.

>>387881Samefag here
>>387984Tbh, I don't check out ESC shit before the finale though, because I wanna be surprised at the finale on purpose, so as to not get spoiled of the fun. I even only heard about the Netherlands during the show when it jumped from contestant number four to number six suddenly. But, like I said, since 2019 if not 2018, the show has lost me because the actual fun has been put on the back burner to use songs, contestants and/or moderators to send
insert whatever message that is mostly biased if not as vapid as Miss USA wishing "World peace" out there.
Quality is a question of perspective and that's another thing we can argue about. Admittedly there were some older editions with ballads that bored me to tears too. But there were also other contestants that brought the fun spirit of what ESC represents to me, as someone who started watching on the year of Epic Sax Guy.
Quality and fun are not necessarily mutual exclusive, but I find very little quality music every new edition as far as my personal tastes go, and I see no fun, only big performances that want to rival with Beyonce's Superbowl performance from three years ago (if not more) and I don't care for that shit.
So yeah, even if you were meaning well, whatever you said didn't exactly concern my case, I only ever check out social media after the shit storm of the results pissed me off again, to see if I'm the only one feeling that way.
But now I'm tired of being aggravated and deprived of a good night sleep because of a tedious hour and a half of a nothing burger.

It would just have looked like a nice fun show.I know what you mean and it's 100% true but having known what was going on it feels almost like what you suggested isnt real like ones amusement would be based on a false picture,
i know this is true for a lot of things like when you find out one of the actors from a favourite film you had as a child was later revealed to be a sex pest or when you have a friend who you later find out is a shitty person, it makes you feel like the enjoyment was based on a lie

>>388191I'll agree on Estonia. Croatia I wouldn't consider "fun" but I looked up the Metal band that Baby Lasagna used to be part of before thanks to it, I would say the same for Norway. But that's about it.
I didn't have "fun" watching Spain, Netherlands I didn't get to see because I don't watch the selection rounds to not spoil the finale, same for Belgium, and Slovenia wasn't my cup of tea.
I've watched fourteen editions in a row and only truly found ten contestants from the different finales to have good and/or fun songs that I can still listen to now.
We can argue about what quality and fun means. Again. But that's moot because that's a personal tastes thing.

The ESC this year surprisingly had a live audience of mostly brits despite not being held in the UK, explaining why Israel got booed to hell while people of Europe actually voted for them enough to make it too the top songs.
