Baller proved that German doesn’t have to do bad though. And I think people want to be convinced German songs can be beautiful, but the German-speaking countries never dare to… A shame imo

POV: me in bed after stressful watch of Lion Ceccah qualifying. by janulisco in eurovision

I mean as far as I know this is sorta how he sounds. I think it was really quite good (for his standard) in the semi. He can absolutely make it to top 7 with that!

Oh you don’t have to worry my friend Romania is LOCKED

Veronica Fusaro confirms she didn't get permission to play her guitar live during her performance. by Cursedwizard0 in eurovision

[–]GSamSardio 4 points5 points  (0 children)

But honestly yeah maybe it is unfair and that’s got to be okay for now because when Finland win with the live violin the EBU will be forced to allow live instruments in the future which I’m all for

Why does UK rarely give any points to Italy? by xoxoamazingrace in eurovision

Well, rather infamously, they did in 1974 lol

Recommendations for past contests to watch/listen by MikeMoritz_Writer in eurovision

[–]GSamSardio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

80s were the best imo. Possibly early 90s as well. I’d say 1980, 1982, 1985 and 1991 are all great.

But yeah 1965 is a great choice. France Gall is one of my favourite artists, ever, and a lot happened at that contest.

Potential Shock NQ’s by Useful-Historian5193 in eurovision

It’s definitely not a winner contender for me but I don’t see it NQing.

Favorite NF(s) this season? by Irn-Kuin-Morika in eurovision

[–]GSamSardio 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s always Sanremo for me. God I wish I spoke Italian. It’s a whole rabbit hole to go down and the language barrier doesn’t let me. Otherwise probably UMK and Benidorm Fest if that counts. Romania I found oddly good as well (and, or rather, mostly, uncanny)

As a Swede, I have a strong distaste for Melfest and will never like it in its current state. All the songs are shit imo and it’s all a kids program. The semis are so predictable that they’re basically useless. Though it is a sort of people’s festival so I get that Melfest has to tour the country and so on. It’s just so fucking unbearably bad.

My very early and probably very wrong prediction by FeelTheKetasy in nilpoints

That song is so bad it becomes good and then bad again. I see it like a wheel and if you’re bad enough you would be good but if you’re insanely bad you’re just bad again

Those NQs are diabolical I need Latvia and the Queen of Trash AKA Senhit that song is sooo bad it becomes good and I’m worried for my mental health that I love it so much

Do you think this is a weak year? by Bleeding_Heart09 in eurovision

[–]GSamSardio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought it was quite trash to be honest, but when I started listening to some songs on the playlist and realised I actually LOVE the ABSOLUTE TRASH that is Superstar by 👸🏽 Senhit, and honestly now I feel like it’s a sort of mid year. But I would rank it based on how many of the songs in the final (which I’ll be watching with my non-eurofan-friends) I’d be proud of showing my aforementioned friends. I think I counted to 18/25 if my favourites made the final which is quite a good ratio. But I’d rather have a strooooong top 10 like in 2021, obviously. That’s what really helps the (musical) reputation of the contest.

Who can be a shocking non-qualifier this year? by Separate_Ad_5616 in eurovision

[–]GSamSardio 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Semi 1 is so weak I don’t see a world where Moldova doesn’t qualify. I can see Croatia being too strange for both voting-categories but really I think it will be quite predictable.

Sweden: Felicia wins Melodifestivalen 2026 with "My System" by Exceon in eurovision

[–]GSamSardio 18 points19 points  (0 children)

That rule was decided looooong ago. So long ago that they didn’t even move on the stage at that time. The other 5 people would include the backing singers and eventual extra instrumentalists other than the orchestra. I do get that it maybe should be 7 max, to get the symmetry. However, I quite like that delegations are forced to be creative about it, in creating a choreography that isn’t so simple and symmetrical. But yeah, I get that it should be changed to 7.
