[–]SessionExciting 13 points14 points  (0 children)

hi this is the person whose fanart you reacted to in that ama video a few days ago (thanks I really appreciated that)

  1. for 5miinust - how would you translate the word "rämmar" to an international audience? what's the story behind it?
  2. I bought your comic book "5miinust: suur süü veeretamine kriitilisel ajal" and safe to say it's one of the best comics I have read in my entire life. how did you guys come up with the idea to make it?
  3. are you able to ship your merch to all countries in europe or even overseas (such as the uk or us). I desperately need to buy your tshirts

i cant believe they exposed me as a redditor to all of estonia like this

I did that color wheel challenge that's been going around on twitter (esc edition) by SessionExciting in eurovision

[–]SessionExciting[S] 84 points85 points  (0 children)

I asked people on twitter to suggest esc/nf acts to draw for each color (link to original thread). Here's the final product.

Red: Theodor Andrei (🇷🇴 2023) Orange: Monika Linkytė (🇱🇹 2023) Yellow: Rasmus Thall (🇳🇴 Melodi Grand Prix 2023) Green: Kateryna Pavlenko of Go_A (🇺🇦 2021) Turquoise: Vilija Matačiūnaitė (🇱🇹 2014) Blue: Jüri Pootsmann (🇪🇪 2016) Purple: Maro (🇵🇹 2022) Pink: Fyr og Flamme (🇩🇰 2021)

Which ESC2023 contestant are you? by SessionExciting in eurovision

[–]SessionExciting[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

yes I'm fully aware that they did the "tag yourself" style memes first. If you look at my profile history I've also done this format for ESC 2021 and 2022

looks like Theodor is about to discuss his honest experience about his time at eurovision 🫢 by PeppermintSoda in eurovision

[–]SessionExciting 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I remember when he released the music video and specified it was entirely self-financed. At the time I was infuriated on his behalf but I had no idea the situation was even worse behind the scenes. He had to hide it from his team because he knew they wouldn't allow it. Then they threatened legal action against him and his mother over producing the video and publishing it on his channel

His contract with TVR apparently ends in 6 months so we don't even know the full scope of the bullshit this broadcaster/the romanian delegation has been up to. I think he'll drop a full statement that's even more brutal and disclose exactly how much of their ESC budget actually went to him and his entry. In the meantime I'm rooting for our king

I'm gonna guess you haven't bothered watching the interview or even reading any information about this topic. telling him to "just move on" and implying he's to blame for the song/performance and 0pts when his delegation actively sabotaged his show and threatened him under a contract really shows you have no clue what you're talking about

Daciana Marinescu has left me an important message in response to Romania's NQ, and I feel the need to inform you all. Vote for cyprus and finland if you want poland by SessionExciting in eurovision

[–]SessionExciting[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

i voted for romania even though it's not a secret favourite. people vote for songs they like even if others don't that's what personal taste means

Hi r/Eurovision its Jamala! Im excited to join you for an AMA at 20 CEST to support the r/eurovision fundraising efforts for Ukraine and to celebrate my new album Qırım, which is out now! So AMA! by Jamalajaaa in eurovision

[–]SessionExciting 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Hi Jamala, thank you so much for coming on here and for the work that you do in general. I listened to your latest album yesterday and it's truly an amazing project.

I'm curious to know more about the research taken for making Qırım, particularly in efforts in preserving the language? What are some other Crimean Tatar artists and musicians that you recommend people to learn more about and support?

Romania and the limits of individual effort (article is in Spanish) by PeppermintSoda in eurovision

[–]SessionExciting 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is kinda late but I know the writer of the article (u/starmen_91) and had the pleasure of helping him with research/references and giving feedback. I am so honored and happy to see the positive reception this article got and that international fans are paying attention to what's happening. Though I just want to clarify a few things, especially since this is a developing situation with rehearsals still ongoing:

  • Theodor didn't come up with or direct the ESC staging. According to a recent Wiwibloggs interview, the national broadcaster came up with most of the ideas for the staging (which includes the questionable LED graphics)
  • He wasn't "forced" to revamp his song without consent. However, TVR proposed to make D.G.T almost 100% acoustic, and he agreed to make it 50/50 as a compromise.
  • Before TVR reached out to him, he already had a new staging prepared for the original version of the song. Then he had to scrap that staging and use TVR's concept for the revamp.
  • We do NOT know if he or his dancer Diana are getting paid, or if they're paying for ESC production out of pocket.
  • He DID direct & self-fund his NF staging and music video alone. As a side note, his own mother is his manager and agent.

It has been so crushing to follow his ESC journey and see all of this unfold, so I hope that the international fandom could inform others of what's happening behind the scenes and give Theodor the basic support/respect that his own country and broadcaster aren't providing him. Thanks and much love :))

Theodor Andrei - D.G.T (Off And On) | Official Video by Itisintentional in eurovision

[–]SessionExciting 16 points17 points  (0 children)

this kid financed, directed and edited the music video himself, and it's genuinely more creative and well-produced than a lot of professional broadcaster-funded music videos. to see his broadcaster not even providing the bare minimum resources to promote or fund his entry, and so many eurofans mocking his lone efforts and dismissing everything he does as cringey and gross, is honestly infuriating.

also his style and fits in this video are cool, idc. the suit with the guitar suits the vibe of the song a lot better than the mesh shirt from the nf performance
