The jury has never added anything of value to Eurovision, and without Russia in the mix, there’s no point to their existence.
gently caress the jury.

It was pretty funny to watch the Maltese guy realizing that they got just a few dozen* points from the televotes after being 3rd with the juries.

*The other top countries got hundreds

Oh, right, he got pretty ok score, but dropped from 1st to 3rd.

Malta is the one that always gets destroyed by the televotes (lack of neighbours), so it's less funny.

As per previous post, due to some weirdness I couldn't fix on time... names are now randomly generated. Refresh if you don't like the one it gives you until you lock in the vote. Votes set from now on count towards Semi Final 1.

I voted according to my post from yesterday. I got assigned Lordi as a name :cool:

I don't really feel strongly about any of the entries, so Ukraine can win it as far as I'm concerned, for their courage in competing despite currently being invaded

What's your opinion on would Ukraine's original Scarlet Witch have been better than Kalush Orchestra? Both are folksy songs with some rap which is apparently the only genre made in Ukraine these days.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rz6aQLKyBHc

This placed third. Again some folksy elements, though maybe more gipsy-like pop?

Last year they were represented by this.

It's just an inoffensive rock song, isn't it? I thought it was decent, but I'm known for giving extra points when there are actual guitars involved

Precisely. It's so nondescript that I have already forgotten it. There have been some great rock acts last year and this one, you have to put some effort to stand out.
