In a year with mostly quiet songs and ballads Moldova would have stood out, but in 2022 where you had Ukraine, Norway, Serbia and France it felt like the least "weird" songs of the group. I think it was a fine song and show, but i'm not sure why people love it so much.

Just as a comment, the only reason that Chanel got to represent Spain was that it was pushed through by the Spanish Jury. The Spanish public unanimously voted for Terra to represent them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uGN9efcACw Literally only 4% of the public voted for Slo-Mo.

As a viewer it doesn’t really make a difference to me whether a number comes on first or last, especially not since they show clips of all of them several times when it’s time to vote.

It’s more the fact that Moldova were later and smack dab in between a billion slow ballads. Being different from who is around you is a huge advantage as you naturally are going to stand out more. Anything that helps you stand out from the other songs will give you an advantage and Moldova was the perfect song to do that this year.

Ralph Crammed In posted:My son listened to Portugal - "This is a boring one and the Netherlands is boring one also" which is great cause we live in The Netherlands and he can already cut through the bullshit at 3. But Moldova and Ukraine are "dancing songs" and he really like Estonian as well, but didn't know how to dance to it. Moldova is my kid's favorite song this year. He didn't like the Dutch song much either, but had hoped she would win because Netherlands.  He's a little annoyed at Serbia since he can't get it out of his head. bit bit bit

SlowBloke posted:A good night of sleep after, I still can't understand how Italy got so many points from the public, that song would have got boos at SanRemo for being too amateurish and boring Is this a bit? They literally won Sanremo this year with the song. That's why they were in Eurovision. I liked Italy, it's a shame their performance in the final was terrible.

I wasn't a fan of the Italian song in general since that type of ballad just isn't my style, but their singing at the finals was absolute dogshit and they shouldn't have come 6th.

Nenonen posted:fwiw I don't think this is a good year to run a comparison between public and jury votes. In nearly all countries the public's 12 points went to Ukraine, and on a normal year this would not have happened. You can't expect the juries to give points out of sympathy, though - unless you can pay for their sympathy. I don't know why everyone dissed France though, I thought their entry was pretty good.

Moldova had extreme dance energy and sang about a train. I don't understand what else could possibly improve a song. France was a good "one of those" Eurovision folk songs but there has been tons of top tier yodelling and ululating in the past few years so they ultimately compare a little mediocre.

We were all trashed at my party, and my friend who has never seen the competition before is calling the competition rigged because France didn't end up in the top 5. It's amazing how fast people adapt to the ideals of Eurovision - irrational anger because things didn't go their way. One of us. Also, listening to the CD release of this years competition I'm thrilled that Eat Your Salad is uncensored.

This is the relevant bit to chew: quote:In the Second Semi-Final, So there was this abnormal voting block where everyone's juries were giving each other 12's or other top scores, whereas none of the 15 other countries in the semi-final had any of them in their Top 7 (points 12, 10, 8 and 7-4). Obviously this is fishy even in the context of usual block voting because San Marino, Poland, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Romania and Montenegro are not some cultural siblings who always support each other.

A bit fishy how they then changed those jury votes so that every one of those six countries gave 12 to Sweden and 10 to Australia, but that probably didn't affect the end result and those were the two favorites of the other juries anyway.

I think the mechanical explanation for that is they averaged the scores of the other juries, translated that into a points list, and applied that list to the six offenders. Mechanics right-or-wrong aside, it was quick, and the Eurovision machine kept rolling and on schedule

I liked Georgia but they were kinda lazy? How do you write a 2 minute pop song with funk and proggy King Crimson nods and still make it feel unnecessarily repetitive. And then for the performance they just dressed up in costumes and stood there. If you're gonna flame out with something too highbrow and high-concept for Eurovision at least loving smash it like Hatari did.

I guess juries like lazy ballads more than stuff that makes me think of what I listened to in high school.
