Do you watch or care about Eurovision?

no, but the song are so good, i have really liked this

Yes, it's part of European culture.

I do check it out almost every year but I don't care for rankings at all anymore

I wonder if it's because this past year has been somewhat dry musically around the world but I actually like a few eurovision songs this year

I like to watch the final show and the tally of the votes but I dont sit there watching the whole thing

I care currently I'm fully in eurovision mode and don't care about any other music

My faves this year are france and switzerland

I have many others but I'd want one of these to win

I cannot believe that after two years of waiting the time has finally come

No. I don’t live in Europe so couldn’t care about it.

Quote from 2yr

i only found out about it bc of that amazing movie on netflix with the amazing OST

I need to look up what songs were used.

People who mock eurovision obviously haven't watched in a while, nobody does gimmicks on stage anymore, the focus is only on the songs. In fact, people who like to mock it are upset countries started to take it seriously. Verka Serduchka is an icon but we've past that.

itiswhatitisss do you have your fave(s)?

Y'all don't know how nice is too read positive comments especially from fans whose country have a beef with yours. Balkan cannot function without political tension.

eurovision fandom is full of love and support and appreciate diversity

sveznalica come here and invite your exo friends, iirc some care about the contest :D

Quote from superyeah

I can imagine how great that would be. Imagine a song representing each state. I'd definitely like to see that.

There's actually a plan and it's expected to happen at some point but nobody knows when

I just checked and only salvador's song is an actual eurovision song. He won at 2017 contents

All other songs sounds so nordic lol

not really I know of it and unless it comes up on the news or something...

explain what it is in stupid people terms

Eurovision season is almost sitting next to Christmas season when it comes to my highlights of the year tbh

point and forgot about it haha

European song contest where each participating country submits an original song, and then the competing countries cast votes for the other songs to figure out a winner.

:)

This year the competition is in rotterdam because the netherlands won the previous contest in 2019.

Two more weeks

Quote from keaji

Trying to get me into Eurovision again? Argh there is a danger me drowning in it hahah, but i'll check it out (also the songs you said were good).

It does sounds like Eurovision became better music-wise in the last couple of years though!

Display Spoiler

OT: I'm fully busy with watching Kingdom right now though haha, but I'll try to add Eurovisian hype on my list :D

I recommend watching Kingdom (even though it makes me a but annoyed tbh), or Road to Kingdom from last year, even better!

No gimmicks and over the top stages anymore, and people who like to mock it are upset about it tho, norway wore wings on their national selection, let's hope they'll get rid of it

Your song is not good tho, it's boring as hell and itiswhatitisss thinks that ours is a bop

Quote from keaji

Ah yeah I've heard our song, but I don't even know how it goes, it's forgettable and boring, like you've said.

I just checked yours, since I was curious and it's not bad! (better than ours for sure haha) Video is a bit colorful haha, but otherwise it's pretty fun and uplifting song!

I remember as a child we all watched it for hours with snacks and counted the points and commented on performances. Nice memories though hehe

i remember western countries saying that only eastern european countries care about eurovision; hello? sweden?! They are obsessed with eurovision, a few years ago eurovision started using their voting system which is indeed more fun and nerve wrecking! Melodifestivalen is their national event. Most of the countries invited their last year artists to perform this year too (some accepted, some not) and ofc sweden wasn't one of them. It's been a while since west started taking it seriously too which is why their final rankings improved a lot.

Quote from keaji

From what I know Swedes are obsessed with Eurovision, as you said, I had a friend from Sweden and for them it's HUGE!

Oh I thought all of the countries has last years winners to perform this year! So Sweden selected a new one?

I'm not really up to date with it

Nope, if they invited the mamas back (their previous winner) that would mean melodifestivalen wouldn't happen and that's just not an option lol. I honestly haven't counted how many artists came back (yours and mine did), i haven't counted which is unforgivable for me :-D but most of them did

Demon_owl :D

Quote from keaji

Haha but you got me really interested now, I'm getting back into my Eurovision mode slowly :D

yes!

Lol. Love how you summoned me to this :D

Yes since moving to Scandinavia I’ve been blissfully aware of Eurovision and it’s huge here. I think especially Sweden that have won many times

I’m not that up to date with recent winners, which are actually quite slick and well produced music, but live for the old songs

Where else do you get over the top camp spectacles and ultra catchy music like this

I forgot this classic! The clothes, the clothes!!!

Demon_owl all bops! I miss turkey so much my fave turkey entries are

Sertab is great too

I don't want sweden to win for at least 10 years, let other countries win but on another hand petra and mans

:-D

itiswhatitisss do you like dum tek tek? It's a classic :)
