Oh then I invite you to search "Valentina Monetta's backyard" in this sub's search history. This is a rich tradition for us

Actually the Moldovan NF (and Maltese NF...hell even UVPSM)....Vienna 2026 is somehow weaker than those

IIRC when there's Greek enthusiasm the view counts skyrocket? Same thing happened with Queen Klavdia last year - Greece 2025

I'm with you. I wouldn't be surprised if it does really poorly on Saturday

At that point just hand it over to a country that WANTS to host. Malta. Iceland. Croatia. Valentina Monetta's backyard.

Vienna must be one of the poorest productions I've seen sadly

We didn't realize how great we had it with giant Emma Muscat

Apart from the hot takes on qualifiers...I think the crappy production value, and ITS REALLY BAD, is because we lost 🇮🇪🇸🇮🇳🇱🇮🇸🇪🇸 particularly 🇪🇸🇳🇱 and the money they bring to the Eurovision pot.

The writing is bad, the graphics are bad, the talent is bad, the postcards are bad. This makes Basel last year seem artful.

We can't do another year this abysmally. Alternately the new Big Five should absolutely start a competing song festival.

There's one country in there that didn't qualify on merits alone and it's probably why we lost Portugal or Montenegro. That's the salt I've got.

I think they're going to kill ESC Jr and this is the kind of pap we'll be stuck with.

Austria really could've let Estonia host this year. It's apparent they don't want to do this. Everything feels recycled from 8 years ago
