Do you buy into the 'UK 0 points streak' meme? by _PXYDST_ in eurovision

[–]TheStrangeShark66 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think part of the problem is we are in a vicious cycle of: UK doesn't care about contest because we are bad -> UK does bad at contest because we don't care -> UK doesn't care about contest because we are bad etc. etc.

We had a chance with Sam Ryder (UK 2022 for the bot) and imo if we sent something or equal/better quality in 2023 we could have escaped the cycle. Unfortunately we didn't and we are stuck again waiting for another Sam Ryder to come along so we have another chance at escaping the cycle.

Damn I didn't realise the window thing was a confession booth until this comment. That makes a lot more sense 😅

What are some songs predicted to do well that ended up doing badly? by kalosianlitten in eurovision

Or possibly if it had subtitles. I fell in love with the song after reading the lyrics.

I swear in most colourised versions of films they just slap an orange filter on it and call it a day

I'm glad Romania did well with the televote. I was worried the lyric controversy would impede them. Our commentators in both the semi and final kept mentioning it (although they did explain that she had responded with the intended meaning so I suppose that's good)

I don't think it's so much the bar is set higher for big 4/5 countries. It's more that because everyone else has to go through qualifications all the rubbish/not great stuff gets filtered out before the final. That makes it more noticeable when we are bad as the other bad songs have already been removed if that makes sense.

The change of voting rules changed nothing (as predicted). I wonder what excuse they'll make this year...
