The Eurovision thread

It’s going to be an amazing year this year. We voted on who we’re sending for the first time and she’s amazing and tel Aviv is such a perfect setting
 
Snore. So it’s pretty much American idol? I get what they’re doing though, the want every country to have a go and then do worldvision.

Then again, Eurovision was formed to stop countries from warring with each other. Maybe that’s what present day divided America needs?
 
I really loved the Cyprus entry this year. She seems really fun and the song is catchy.

Australia’s is pretty epic but hard to sing to for the average person
 
The favorites to win according to the odds are at the moment:

1. Netherlands
2. Australia
3. Switzerland
4. Sweden
5. Italy
 
Good pics eek! You guessed the winner!

It was a wonderful event. Bit shocking that Iceland made that political statement! But I loved the Israeli hosts in general
 
Devastated. I really look forward to it every year. I get why they had to do it but still really upset.

I wonder why they couldn’t just do it without an audience?

How can they realistically host it still? All these different countries would have to fly into a host country, and there are all these flight restrictions and lockdowns. And on top of that, all these performers would have to handle the same music equipment (eg microphones etc) which could be contaminated. There would be enough musicians to still infect each other if one of them has the virus.

The only way this could've been done, and with an online audience, is by each band/ musician filming their entry and then releasing it online. And then judges who are all located remotely would vote on the filmed entries. If the musicians had been practising for months already, they should at least have a rough recording or even video of it. Of course, it still takes sound engineers to properly mix it and a video crew to film it more professionally for the best presentation, so even that might not be feasible.
 
Icelandic folks must be salty since a lot of people where saying 2020 would be their year to win with quirky track think about things
 
That was one of my faves from this year. I love the quirky ones like the Russian one this year was bonkers

 
Soooo...American idol? Lol but ok let’s see what happens.

they were making an Asian version at one point which would be fun too once things calm down
 
Yeah I’ve heard of that. It’ll be interesting but I can’t see it competing with like, American idol. Still, Eurovision is all about uniting over differences with music so maybe that’s what america needs right now?
 
I definitely think people are in the mood for a wacky dance song this year obviously to distract from a rough year. So far I’m loving Lithuania and I think the Ukraine is really interesting
 
Looking at the odds the favorites at the moment among bookmakers are:

1. Italy
2. France
3. Malta
4. Switzerland
5. Ukraine
 
Yeah it’s a very strong grand final this year. No skips.

greece was fun and so was Iceland. I would love to listen to more music from the Iceland band
 
Wow that was an amazing ending. Never thought
italy
would win but I love that a song in another language other than English won and to be honest it’s very catchy.

In general I absolutely loved this years event
 
Ha. Yeah should be interesting. I think Eurovision is gifted with uniting people, even if it’s just for a bit, so an america vision couldn’t hurt. Still wish asiavision was happening though
