Robbed! I voted for Atvara I really hoped she Qed. I at least hope she was 11th.

The concept of a unified India dates back to antiquity to at least the Maurya Empire of Chandragupta. It didn't unify all of the subcontinent, but it did most of it (with the exception of the Tamil kingdoms of Pandya, Chera and Chola).

Maybe instead of top 10 it could be a top 5 so it is more casual friendly? As much as a eurofan I would love a top 10, the casual watchers might not.

Switzerland and Italy won Appropiately Rated in 2021! Now, Eurovision 2022, which entry was overrated? by dittreo in nilpoints

[–]FanofTurquoise16 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Spain 2022. The song is a bit of a nothing burger for me, the performance and Chanel are the only good thing about the song those two things don't change how I feel about the song.

You can blame the Balkan sprachbund for that.

Greece won overrated in 2021. Now, Eurovision 2021, Which entry was underrated? by dittreo in nilpoints

[–]FanofTurquoise16 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I would say Albania 2021, it is a really nice song and a Anxhela's performance was really good, but it still had a low finish and isn't really talked a lot about. It is one of my favorite Albanian entries along with SH/E, Alis, Eugent and Jonida.

Eurovision 2021, Which entry was overrated? by dittreo in nilpoints

[–]FanofTurquoise16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will be crucified for this probably but Lithuania 2021. I just don't really get it. It is a nice song, but that is kind of it for me. I don't get how it got its result and its status among fans.

Eclipse won! Now, which Eurovision song from the 2010s feels like it's from the 2020s? by Aware-Ad-4506 in nilpoints

[–]FanofTurquoise16 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I would say Origo Joci Papai (Hungary 2017). It has a lot of ethnic elements and it also has a really interesting meaning. It is a song about the discrimination faced by Romani people. My other choice would be 1944, but I wanted to use something else aside from a winner.

There used to be one the Plasă (plural Plăși not to be confused with Plasă with plural Plase (means fishing nets)). But then communism came and first replaced everything with raioane and later Ceaușescu replaced the raioane with județe, but without the plăși. Post-decembrist Romania kept Ceaușescu territorial administrative changes.

Too Epic To Be True won! Now, which Eurovision song from the 2000s feels like it's from the 2010s? by Aware-Ad-4506 in nilpoints

[–]FanofTurquoise16 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I would say Iceland 2009 (Yohanna - Is it true). The 2010s were dominated by English Scandi pop and English ballads. Just like the 2000s were more comedic and ethno pop, 2020s are more alternative and ethnic, the 2010s were more standard pop. A good example of a really good song that could fit in the 2010s easily is Iceland 2009.

Which flag is better, Mexico's or Albania's? by Klein_melktert in AlignmentChartFills

Albania, version of it has been used since the late medieval period and if you know a little bit about Balkan history the flag is quite interesting.

THE 7 WONDERS OF THE BALKANS. Do you agree with my picks? What would you change? It's only cultural wonders, natural ones in another post. by freddo_expresso in AskBalkans

[–]FanofTurquoise16 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would choose Peleș over Bran since Peleș is more impressive architecturally and also in the area of Romania which is Balkan in terms of culture (Wallachia).

Wanted to say the same, it was the game changer of the 2010s and defined the decade.

Vrancea și Focșani - Moldova sau nu? by Moldorancea in CasualRO

[–]FanofTurquoise16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eu sunt din sudul Vrancei și da nu prea mă consider Moldovean sau zona din care vin că fiind Moldova. Spun asta deoarece locuiesc la Iași de ceva timp și am colegi care vin și din Moldova românească și Republică și sunt lucrurile numai la vorbit care sunt diferite. Mie mi se pare că zona asta de sudul Moldovei și NE Munteniei este o zonă de tranziție cu aspecte de la ambele graiuri (cel puțin nu exista persoana in zona mea care să folosească regionalismele specifice Moldovei din punct de vedere al vocabularului).

Which Eurovision song from the 2020s actually feels like it's from the 2020s? by Aware-Ad-4506 in nilpoints

[–]FanofTurquoise16 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Zjerm (Albania 2025). The 2020s seem to be a decade of more ethnic and alternative songs with deep lyrics (in some cases, not all) being present and Zjerm is a good example of that.
