I'm from Ireland and I love our entry this year (video related), I actually think it could win! It's been a while since we've taken the contest seriously because we couldn't afford to host it. It's a little bland but I've had it stuck in my head and I like that it's stripped down to just a guy singing on his guitar and not flashy.
I'll be watching it online (hopefully). I find it really annoying that I can't watch any BBC streams here despite the fact that their host IS Irish? I really like Graham Norton's commentary.
>>249061 he was Irish too lol. I'm watching with my boyfriend this year. We're getting some alcohol and ordering food, it's always a big celebration for me. I'm so proud to be European.
I haven't watched any of the other performances because I want to keep it as a surprise. I'm always a big fan of Italy's entries, so I'm looking forward to hearing this year's entry. My only complaint is that most of the countries sing in English and I know it's to appeal to a wider audience but I don't think it's really in the spirit of embracing European culture. In saying that, I'd also love for us to send a performer next year that can sing in Irish for once.
I think that's all my thoughts about it, lol.

I just watched once, when Lordi won, cause I'm a sucker for ott heavy/doom metal.
>>249065Frenchfag here too. I didn't know our entry and now I just wanna die. What a shame.
But the real shame is that France Television (public broadcasting for our beloved non-baguette anons) still refuse to communicate about the cost that is incurred by this stupid contest.

>>249062Honestly? Since germany is automatically part of the ESC because we support this event with fuck tons of money, we could send the most ridiculous acts there since this entire show is just for the lulz and nothing more and nobody will truly vote for us no matter what or who we send there.
I watch it every year and nobody really watches this to expect good music or some shit like this, it's just about the trash show.
Where are the people from the Musikantenstadl when you need them lmao

>>249063Hey, Irish here too! I really love our song this year and I'm delighted we qualified. I adore the dance onstage, any time we've sent in an act with a guitar there's never anything else going on onstage. Remember Mickey Joe Harte with We've Got The World? I firmly believe that could've won if they'd done something onstage other than just him standing there with a few backing singers swaying.
Good luck to all countries! I love how fun Eurovision is, but man the new way they present the points is excruciating.
No. 249108
I'm German as well.
I don't know a single family member or friend who watches that shit, but I think it's of more "importance" in other countries according to some other Europeans I know from tumblr lol
It pisses me off that we put so much money into it, knowing fully well that we'll lose again, every fucking year. There are so many Eastern European nations who always support each other, some Northerners do the same, but Germany doesn't have a single "friend".
Maybe it would help if we'd stop sending cutesy little girls there, since other (especially the Eastern) countries obviously prefer more mature singers and over the top performances (sex simply always sells)
I haven't listened to this and last year's song yet, I didn't like Lena's songs, same for the one from 2016, however I do think that at least her voice wasn't the worst, but again, we're simply not exactly a popular country kek
No. 249116
>>249062Also from Germany and I don't hate our song but its so so boring. I really don't understand why we aren't going for something more individual. Something that has a special style not the usual pop shit.
I feel like Germany doesn't even want to win.
Anyways I am really digging Denmark's song. Love it you go guys I hope you win.
No. 249118
>>249081Totally agree kek. At this point we should send anyone at least it will be fun.
On a site note I would love to hear more people singing in their native language. It sucks that almost everyone is singing in English.
No. 249120
>>249116Actually, Germany doesn't want to win because all of the promotion costs too much money.

As much as a I personally disliked the winner song, I have to admin that it was at least something more entertaining than all those other ballads. Which makes me also hope that the next ESC will be more full of more wirdo performances again.
I think this is also a reason why the walmart beyonce for cyprus got so many votes as well. It was at least more more show.
I blame Conchita Wurst for the Ballade Hype for the past years.

>>249872>I also laughed at last year's winner Salvador Dobral ending his pause number with saying "bringing real music to Eurovision". Classic ESC drama.There was some drama over Salvador shittalking Israel's Netta.
Last year's Croatian competitor (Jacques Houdek - fat meme guy) called him out kek.
No. 249964
>>249953Wow. It's nice that at least Netta was mature about how she handled the comments from Salvador.
I kinda think that if you want to be taken seriously as an artist that maybe ESC just isn't the place for you. If you win you are doomed to be known to most people as "that Eurovision winner", unless you won with something that wasn't too memorable to begin with.
I've been following the finnish band who won in 2006 and they're still not able to shake off the ESC-label completely, even though they seem to try. Kek.
No. 251767
>>250793>And then the non-Europeans, who are still murdering in the thousands, are the ones who winNetta winning =/= supporting the Israeli government imo. People voted for the most catchy song, which happened to be the song of Netta from Israel.
This show has been around for 61 years, so don't expect it to die any time soon.
