Off-Topic / Eurovision - Today I will be ashamed to be Polish [586]

I detest music that sounds like it's from nowhere (or could be from anywhere)

*nods*

One of the main reasons Germany ends up so often where it does....instead of skilled artists with experience and a fanbase and a style and a recognition factor we send nobodies with totally interchangable, generic songs/lyrics written by people who just don't care....not even a show is thought out.....nothing to capture the people....totally forgettable....

But it seems that is exactly what the old people on top of the NDR want and like....it boggles the mind! *throws hands up in the air*

And lost respect for France and Germany.

Nah....France got zero points last time....there was no war in Europe back then....and Germany ended down there before too before, or won with Lena in the meantime....to put it all on political reasons doesn't explain everything...it's to easy..."they don't like us sniff sniff* is crap!

We send sh*it regularly....that's all there is....the german broadcaster NDR is to blame for that (Lena for example was managed by a private station for a change to make all the difference, but it was the same Germany which got low or no points before and again afterwards with entries from the NDR, heh:)

....maybe it still makes the waves in Serbia and things change for the better....the power of music, you know?

I was surprised that Ukraine got still 7 points out of Serbia, from the public vote at that...with all that Putinistas there! :)

....but I've heard that the singer complained with the song about the bad quality of hospital care in Serbia....people die needlessly....a serious problem there it seems!

Apparently because the Polish jury's choice was deemed not objective, but political

It's the Eurovision!!! Heeelllooooooo??? :)

That is so cute....a great summary for this years contest.....not for Germany of course!

Ewan Spence from the Eurovision Insight Podcast told the Guardian from Turin that "throughout the week, the singers, the broadcasters, the community have proudly stood with Kalush Orchestra and Ukraine. This will always stand as a victory at Eurovision; but it means so much more. It is the grandest gesture of love to the people of Ukraine from every single corner of every single country in Europe and beyond."

congrats!

....still....it's time to change a system that is so obviously not working in Germany (and shoot the responsible)😎

But that was such a clear vote from the whole of Europe for Ukraine!!!! YES! :)

Abit sad for the "Space Man" though....in every other contest the UK would have won with that....he was good!

YEEEEESSSSSS!!!!! πŸ˜ƒ

The public knows you need to support a people fighting for their very lives!

Can you name interesting German songs/artists in the last couple of years?

My personal favourites during the '20er:

Unheilig - Geboren um zu leben

Xavier Naidoo - Dieser Weg
(our football hymn back then)

Glasperlenspiel - Geiles Leben and Nie vergessen

Sportfreunde Stiller - Ein Kompliment

Peter Fox - Haus am See

Just a few out of my mind....there are more because we have some real good stuff (Rammstein?)....but we never send any of them and nobody knows why???

I can't believe that we've sent something that good to Eurovision

*looks enviously over at Poland*

Whereas Germany is set again to go out with ZERO points....can you believe it! πŸ™„

I ask if them are OK for EURO - vision why not USA, New Zealand, Canada?

It seems there needs to be a connection with Eurovision:

...Although Australia is not in Europe, Eurovision has been broadcast in the country for over 30 years. In 2014, the year before it would compete for the first time, viewing figures in the country peaked at 2.7 million....

walesonline.co.uk/lifestyle/tv/eurovision-2022-can-australia-compete-23944239

And Israel:

...Israel showed strong interest in the competition from the very beginning and it paid off very soon; they won for the first time in Paris in 1978 with the song A-Ba-Ni-Bi performed by Izhar Cohen and the Alphabeta. The Eurovision Song Contest travelled to Jerusalem in 1979 where Israel won the competition for the second time in a row...

I can only guess that the Eurovision isn't such a big thing in Nigeria....is it in the US?

.... "It's a daring and at the same time incredibly exciting move. It is our way of saying; let's celebrate this party together!" said Eurovision Song Contest Executive Supervisor Jon Ola Sand.

"At the very heart of the Eurovision Song Contest is the importance of bringing countries together to celebrate diversity, music and culture. We have admired and respected SBS's support of Eurovision for many years now and wanted to extend the invitation for Australia to join us in this special 60th Anniversary of the Contest. It would be remiss of us to throw the world's biggest party and not invite our Australian friends, who have such a long history and connection with Eurovision," he added....

Why the hell not?

Nobody said they are now part of Europe or will become a regular contestant....

Interesting info:

Why does Australia get to be in Eurovision?

Australia was invited to get involved as a gesture of goodwill for the show's 60th anniversary, which had a 'Building Bridges' theme. Then on February 12, 2019, Eurovision confirmed that Australia has secured a spot in the competition for the next five years until 2023.
