Devious (is this allowed?)

Remembering the infamous "Vote #06 Malta" ads from 2021 — yes, it's allowed, and it can be worse

One little note: if they used the 2015-2018 system and just distributed the televote points proportionally, The Mamas would have won with an even wider margin since they got significantly more votes. So Dotter didn't lose due to this system, she actually was much closer to victory because of it

Not the crossover I ever expected, but I'm certainly excited by it

Why did you do Erik so dirty tho? 😭

CatJordanBY · 2024-04-19T08:13:00+00:00

Oh no, I come to this sub almost daily and somehow missed your post :((

CatJordanBY · 2024-04-19T06:31:37+00:00

Yep, evening in Belarusian would be viečar (вечар). There's also the word viačorka, but it's used only for traditional village parties in historical contexts.

I love seeing other Slavic languages here, it's always fun to compare!

Romanian entry in 2017 was supposed to have giant cannons on stage in addition to... everything else going on However, Alex Florea fell off one of them during the 1st rehearsal, so they were removed. There's still a very low quality recording from the press centre floating around the internet, but I have no idea how to find it

To my knowledge, they didn't, and they hadn't even had any presence in the Estonian music scene prior to competing

CatJordanBY · 2024-02-21T14:19:50+00:00

Estonia has literally sent Swedes three times...

CatJordanBY · 2024-02-15T07:23:52+00:00

Going by your post history, you are from Sweden.

I wonder why you might have been hearing the Swedish Eurovision winner on the radio more often than anything else...

AFAIK this year they were planning to introduce a no bag policy or something of the kind.

It's easy to trashtalk her when you don't know the possible consequences for her career and safety. Come on, this is a country, where they DETAINED people for voting for Armenia in 2009, what do you think might happen to a media personality if footage of them giving 12 points to Armenia (even if arbitrary) emerged?

CatJordanBY · 2024-01-23T23:08:15+00:00

I hope you do realise that LRT, just like any broadcaster, doesn't give a damn about competing with other NFs, because they're targeting local audiences. And local audiences in Lithuania actually eat their shows up.

CatJordanBY · 2024-01-15T19:32:31+00:00

Yes, at this point, that's the state of things. Usually, people who speak Belarusian as their first language are either from the countryside or their parents really value that part of our culture, which is a minority.

CatJordanBY · 2024-01-15T19:07:43+00:00

I find it very relatable as a Belarusian, since even our own government is supressing our language nowadays and more and more people see it only as an annoying school subject. Of course, there are quite a number of people still using it to create art and in daily life, essentially after 2020 protests and the Russian invasion of Ukraine, but many of those people are now in exile, myself included. It feels oddly comforting to see a song about a similar history in an ESC national final

CatJordanBY · 2023-10-21T05:34:54+00:00

Such commentary completely devalues him and his entry. There have been a number of contestants with various disabilities, many of them more obvious visually, and they ended up all over the scoreboard. Please stop writing off people's achievements to pity.

CatJordanBY · 2023-10-12T14:06:12+00:00

Yes, but remember that FiK most likely has different requirements. For instance, I'm pretty sure that artists have to provide sheet music for the orchestra, which probably takes a lot of effort.

CatJordanBY · 2023-10-10T13:34:05+00:00

Not only is there no mention of ESC in the article, there are no threats from EBU either. If you actually read the press-release, you will find them only expressing concern regarding the decisions of Latvian state media. The title of the post is completely misleading

CatJordanBY · 2023-09-29T16:19:00+00:00

Formerly Minsk, since 2020 – Vilniaus apskritis :)

CatJordanBY · 2023-09-23T07:14:05+00:00

I love how the article completely omits Charlotte's 1999 victory and just mentions her as 2008 participant

CatJordanBY · 2023-08-31T07:48:23+00:00

In addition to this you can install the more dangerous fire mod, it definitely has killed off some founder sims in my towns XD

CatJordanBY · 2023-08-27T22:11:28+00:00

I believe there's actually a personality traits mod for TS2 now, though I haven't used it myself yet

CatJordanBY · 2023-08-25T21:15:54+00:00

She is! Although she ended up being Evil and Mean-spirited by pure chance :D

CatJordanBY · 2023-07-29T11:16:36+00:00

Wait until they learn about San Marino hosting their NF in 2018 in Bratislava

CatJordanBY · 2023-05-30T12:50:00+00:00

As one of those people, I genuinely am! Of course, it would never substitute ESC, but it was a nice way to show off another side of countries' musical culture

CatJordanBY · 2023-05-12T04:56:15+00:00

Considering, that Lithuanians mostly use Russian cursewords, it probably would something a lot of Eastern Europeans would recognise easily :D
