I'm willing to garner hate for this, but I seriously hope that the show doesn't become even more politicised this year. I don't mind there being casual references and all, that's pretty much part of ESC culture to some extend. But depending how the situation in Europe will keepn on going, I really hope it won't end with an endless show of contestants making shoutouts to the events in the Ukraine and just voting for Ukraine for symbolism. Because that just has the potential of turning real bad for the image of the show and potentially even for Ukraine if they are winning because of sympathy instead of a majority decided better song.
(That being said, I don't listen to (or at least try to avoid) any songs before the finale airs, mostly because else I find the show just too boring. So no clue how they all compare to each other and what I personally would vote on.)
no i agree! it has always been political despite claiming not to be, countries biases are showing (especially cyprus and greece lmao). idc about people voting symbolicly, but i hope the juries will keep it professional. when it comes to ukraine's song it's the type that probably would be more appreciated with televoters than juries- that was the case in ukraine's national final as well, where kalush won the televotes but the jury placed it third. i mean who know where we are two months from now, but the contest itself is meant to celebrate peace and unity we don't need stuff like we saw when israel hosted
yeah, exactly. and not just that. I mean the whole thing during the cold war where all the ussr countries had to vote for each other and all that.
