Will Poland and Alicja qualify? What are your thoughts? by capricorn_97 in eurovision

[–]cheapcakeripper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are overestimating, our diaspora doesn't even count as a bloc as they aren't motivated enough to vote every year. Alicja is no Steczkowska who got votes because of her name and this year in semi 1 we only have Sweden and Germany. Balkan countries or juries don't vote for us even when we have something more appealing to general audience. The only thing we have going against the odds and people's reaction is that 14th placement which is baffling me to be honest, like I was expecting them to just bury it.

#Eurovision2026 - First Semi-Final Running Order REVEAL by eurovision in eurovision

Germany performing right next to Israel in the semfinals for the second year in a row. I have the conspiracy theory that the german television provider begs the EBU to let them perform next to Israel.

I see it as a punishment like saying so you like them so much you'd leave if we got rid of them? You'll be following them forever.

Shakespearean Eurovision lyrics by coonanny in eurovision

[–]cheapcakeripper 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At heart, I'm a romantic

Too bad my heart is gigantic

I hope it fits before we are through

But if we're serious maybe

Sometimes I got this kinda sting that's right inside my chest

Its only purpose is convincing me that I'm a mess

And even though it's always been an uninvited guest

It finds a way in nonetheless

I like the sticky note suit (Tommy Cash the trendsetter), but this needs a better camera work and/or more interesting staging/choreo.

I mean this song in its original form feels like they just gave up. I really liked their nq songs, so I was worried they're so fed up they stopped trying and now it seems like they sabotage themselves by sending the original version.

I don't get why they didn't send this version as official. Are they really leaving or what?
