I have to say that I am kinda a SVT apologist this year but other than the stage, camerawork and scoreboard design, they absolutely did shit in literally everything else in hosting. I know they might get much less budgets but SVT, I am honestly disappointed in you. Now let’s talk about the results.
Semi-final 1
I FEEL IT COMINGGGGG. 3 points lmao. This was locked for the bottom 2 since the start and it shows. Hera is iconic but I’m still pissed that she won the NS just because the Zionists wanted to prevent a Palestinian (Bashar) victory.
Despite the staging is cool, it doesn’t fit the song AT ALL. And the fact that the traditional singing thing is obviously pre-recorded is so :giggles:.
Well there is zero staging there so ngl expected
I thought this would narrowly NQ ngl. I do adore the staging and Luna herself a lot but well, her vocal performance that night was not it so…
SHOULD HAVE QUALIFIED (Not over Serbia tho but like Finland) The one time Australia finally showcased their real native culture, they had to flop </3
Semi-final 2
OK WHAT? No way in hell this deserved the dead last of the semi. This is solely because they are Malta. Well they would never make it to the final ever again unless juries are back in the semi and that’s just purely sad.
Expected. The pre-revamp would have at least boosted this at least one higher placement ngl.
The staging is cool af but her vocals were so :deadpumpkin:. Not even the locked Spanish votes can save this lmao.
Underrated imo. Yeah he did underperform a lot but it still sounds quite good ngl.
Expected. Juries might save this but then her performance that night was probably her worst ever since the national final ngl.
ROBBED SHOULD HAVE QUALIFIED. She improved A LOT and they have one of, if not, the best stagings this year. Heartbreaking </3
Grand final
(Yes, I’m including them here because they were always a finalist in my heart.) If the EBU wasn’t a jackshit and they were still be in the competition, things would have changed a lot imo. 2nd in the semi kinda showed that NL would really did well in the final, at least the televote. Sad that Joost had his dream got completely crushed by the double-standard of the EBU. If Netherlands still wants to stay in the contest, I would absolutely love to see Joost return and get his justice - but then I feel like he is traumatized and probably don’t want to hear or be associated with the word “Eurovision” anymore. I HOPE Avrotros will sue the shit out of the EBU and pull out from next year’s contest. This shit show deserved to be rotten in the hell after all the shits these few days.
WTF. EUROPE. WTF. This is the most undeserved last placer ever. Come on. This is the GÅTE. They finally came to grace this contest and last was what you rewarded them? Shame
This, on the other hand, deserved to be last - and NQ instead of Czechia. The song is a banger but god damn what is with Austria sending a club banger with singer that can’t sing. The supposed televoting magnet didn’t even get more than 20 televoting points and it shows lmao.
Expected a bit higher but super happy for Raiven She finally got her chance to be here just to be predicted as a sure NQ but in the end, she proved us all wrong.
Expected this to be at the bottom. Not that big fan of the song but it was really a nice addition of the final.
Well not that I expected this to do any better. Happy for Georgia to finally break the long-run NQ streak tho.
The supposed televoting magnet were not teleporting magnet-ing. [2] I wanted this to do much better but hate to say that their performance was kinda messy here ngl.
The supposed televoting magnet were not teleporting magnet-ing. [3] Love them as they are such sweethearts but the song (and the thong) did not deserve to qualify. Sorry.
FUCKING ZERO IN THE TELEVOTE??? Ok come on, Olly wasn’t that great vocally but his performance deserved at least, at least one point. Now I don’t know if establishing artists will ever want to do Eurovision or not after two televote flops.
Well it’s known that she would struggle a lot in televotes (and it showed in SF1 results) but glad that juries saved this.
The dark horse of this year. Happy for both
Dons the icon and Latvia for finally breaking the NQ streak.
Even tho I still don’t like what the broadcaster did with the staging, Silia absolutely ATE that stage, especially at such a young age. Congratulations to her
Kinda around what I expected. I’m still not that big fan of the song but his performance was such a vibe!
Well, I’m happy that Luxembourg had a great comeback and this doing well meant they would stay in the contest, at least one more year. Am I happy for Tali tho? Absolutely not, especially with what she said about Joost’s unfair disqualification. Now she can return to her khia era in her basement idc.
Yeah this song is destined to not be in the bottom. Isaak is a great vocalist but with absolute zero charisma, this is the highest he can achieve with the jury voting. It’s sad that Germany had to achieve one of their best placements in this decade with a guy who is an absolute tone deaf in politics and humanity.
YASSSS TA TA TA TA TA. Deserved top 10, over you know who and low key Sweden ngl.
Top 10
MOTHER. ICON. Glad that Portugal returned to the top 10 again
I love this song so much but ngl, their performance was kinda a downgrade. Would have switched them with Greece tbh.
This is such a vibe with loads of fund and energies. Happy to see them snatching Armenia’s best results since 2016 after being unfairly criticized by their own people
QUEEN. She still ate the stage as usual but that’s being said, dancers were honestly not necessary and the backdrops were too detailed that it kind of made Angelina not noticeable ngl.
MONARCH. ICON. In the fair world, this would have easily won but well. This is why artists should have a say in their performance. They may not win but they will forever be remembered as an Eurovision legend.
FREE #her AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA THEY REALLY THOUGHT THEY HAD IN A BAG BUT IN THE END, THEY DIDNT.
Also I hope I will never see anyone here proudly stream or talk about this lovely propaganda song and said “I just listen to it as it is good musically.” SHUT UP. After all these few days, it is freaking crystal clear that this song, this performance and this woman are absolutely disgustingly FAKE. To have a nerve to send this song while keep on bombing Gaza every minute like this is hypocritical. I do hope that our community should be civilized enough to not ever support this country ever again. #FreePalestine
Also after the juries saving us by tanking this country, I hope I will never see a discussion regarding the abolishment of juries ever again because we would have to live in a world where that country would have been SECOND. Absolutely NO.
PÈRE. Glad that Slimane still did super well cuz it would be such a shame if they flopped when they literally sent one of the biggest local super stars ever.
YASSSS. 3RD PLACE WITH 02 RO. Absolutely incredible and if there’s anyone that can do that, it’s Ukraine.
Congratulations for achieving their best results ever, especially with a song with meaningful lyrics and story. A big applause to Baby Lasagna as well. Hope HRT will learn their lessons from this cuz in what world, this song was in a waiting list - especially in that dreadful af Dora lineup…
That’s being said, here is my controversial take that I’m happy I can finally say now. I am happy that BL didn’t win in the end. Like, okay I would still love to see him win - especially since he was the only one that can pause #her and #thatcountry from winning the televote. But for real, I preferred literally almost all other main contenders to win instead. Not for the songs, but because out of all major front runners, he was the only ONE that kept on staying silent despite all the shits that happened - not just these few days but since the very start. Therefore, I relieved that we got a winner that have used their vocals properly and have a clear stance regarding that country in the end.
YES YES YES YES YES THEY DID IT. MY WINNER WON TWO YEARS IN A ROW. YES. I’m super duper happy that Nemo eventually won. As a non-binary myself, having a non-binary artist that is true to themselves winning with a song talking about their experiences to break the binary system is revolutionary. Them being one of the pro-Palestinian acts this year is also a cherry on top. However, I’m absolutely sad and anxious seeing them getting hates from local Croatian fans for “stealing their wins” - like what Loreen got last year. If anything, said that to the juries (who were always based and thankfully even more this year sns)
Congratulations to Swiss forumers for finally winning again after such a long wait. Absolutely deserved!
Now, let’s talk about our “beloved” hypocritical organization.
Like what Dutch commentator Cornald and Bambie said, FUCK THE EBU. FUCK MARTIN OSTERDAHL. FUCK ALL OF THEM. You already put this contest in the dispute back then when you allowed that country to stay and keep their propaganda song. But now, you had the nerve to disqualify Joost for showing that he was not ok to have his privacy disrupted when you still acted as if all the shits that the Isnotreali delegation did all these days were acceptable. Not one, not two, not three, but at least FOUR representatives were heavily harassed by that country’s delegates and yet you still left them free like that when there were even CLEAR EVIDENCES of what they did (unlike Joost)? Zero tolerance policies, my ass. You only use that to justify your damn ass and it terribly felt. I hope a very dead for the contest and especially, the EBU and the Isnotreali delegation for this.
See you (or not) in Switzerland next year and by then, I hope Eurovision is getting all the fixes as what Nemo said during the press conference. That’s all from me this year x
