The juries have actual written down criteria for their decisions which I posted earlier. Technical singing skills is only a fraction of it, otherwise someone like Saara Aalto would even have a chance.

ESC has never been a mere singing contest like Voice or Idol shows. Even its name is Eurovision Song Contest. The main thing is to have new catchy songs, not that the singer has the widest sound range.

yes, and he needed that fraction, desperately

Just saw Loreens stupid nails and thought nope, give it to someone else. But I guess the conspiracy was in full effect. Sweden had to win because of ABBA or something.

Eurovision needs to stop using juries or at least make them have less power in the future.

As for Sweden, they should enjoy their win but also let the rest of us grumble in peace. Loreen wasn't even close to winning the public vote, but she legitimately won the competition under the current rules. The circumstances will be forgotten before long, but for a few weeks or months more her win is going carry an asterisk, especially for the Finns.

Reminder that people were saying "gently caress the juries" from the first page of the thread - it's not targeted at Sweden specifically, it's a recognition (partly self deprecating) that the tastes of ESC juries usually aren't going to be in line with us, the song contest sickos. At least that was my intent when I made the image that got adapted for the tag.

Imo, while there’s nothing in the rules against fielding a previous winner, and a global platinum-selling one whose prior song still gets played every day in nightclubs around the world at that - it is a little against the spirit of the thing.

Only way the Sweden can redeem themselves, if next year they send a comedy act singing in Swedish.

Yeah, it's not that serious, and it's not directed against Sweden as a country or even their specific winner. Just some 4fun raging about how the goon / internet favourite was robbed.

Personally I think it's fine, but if it makes Irish fans shut the gently caress up about Johnny Logan then I'll take it.

Sweden double-loving Ireland on no longer being the only country with 7 wins and to have a twice-winning singer makes it all worth it and hopefully forces them to start caring again!

I rigged the jury. I placed a box in front of them with a button that said "press here for one million dollars" but it actually cast their vote for Sweden, and I also told them voting for Finland is gay

Remember about six years or so ago the jury went huuuuge for that Macedonian singer and she was in first by a landslide, then the public vote came in and she got like 30 points?

According to Yle, Käärijä has risen to become the most played Finnish-language artist, so I'd say there is at least one Finn who is currently pretty happy with Loreen.

Most played song, not artist. He has still long ways to be biggest artist.
But apparently he's going to be able to upgrade from his 20m^2 apartment, (215 square feet for yanks)
