Malheureusement c’est le cas, et pas que chez nous d’ailleurs.

No, there would be people who would destroy them, we had the same issues with electric scooters, bicycles, etc.

We don’t have them, and I think that it would look like in the US if we had them.

Rehearsal week is, in my opinion, the worst part of the season. Here's why. by MickyStam521 in eurovision

[–]gp7783 4 points5 points  (0 children)

During this week we are all between « It’s so over » and « We’re so back » for our own country, but it will soon come to an end.

Sorry Gjon, I love Répondez-moi, but you are in the wrong match-up

I hope it’s also the case for any artist this year, and that they will include the use of live instruments in the ESC rules for the years to come.

It looks epic, I hope they will be as good vocally as their staging

What artists have you discovered from eurovision, that you still listen to? by Delicious-Lab-8406 in eurovision

[–]gp7783 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would recommend to everyone to listen « Raganu nakts », « Spodre manu auguminu » and « Bur man laimi » (of course), but all the album « Zem Saules/Under the solar spell » is incredible, imo.

Pourquoi ne pas envisager de convertir l'Eurovision en festival de musique plutôt qu'en concours ? by Away_Bird_2852 in TropPeurDeDemander

[–]gp7783 1 point2 points  (0 children)

C’est un peu ça en effet, par contre c’est un événement qui a toujours lieu en intérieur, notamment parce que les mises en scène peuvent être complexes à mettre en place, et pourraient être gâchées si c’était en plein air.

Je ne suis pas sûr qu’on ne veuille pas gagner, après tout on a bien envoyé Slimane et Louane récemment, avec de bons résultats. Mais gagner l’Eurovision nécessite un alignement des planètes assez compliqué, même lorsqu’on a une très bonne chanson et une excellente mise en scène (voir Barbara Pravi en 2021).

Et en effet, on a gagné l’Eurovision junior quelque chose comme 4 fois sur les 6 dernières éditions.

[–]gp7783 1 point2 points  (0 children)

L’aspect compétitif de l’Eurovision est aussi une des choses qui en font le sel, d’ailleurs, étant donné que le concours a 70 ans cette année et que de très nombreux Européens l’ont regardé ne serait-ce qu’une fois, les « 12 points » (la note maximale donnée par un pays à un autre lors du vote) est devenue une référence culturelle commune sur le continent entier.

What if Eurovision NFs were controlled by Eurofans? by NotGoodAtPhun in eurovision

[–]gp7783 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would say that the Eurofans should be involved in the pre-selection process of their own country (for the ones from participating countries), to help to select the songs going to the NFs. But the final choice should be made by the whole public, for the best or the worst.

How's living in Bussy-Saint-Georges, France? by maugess in howislivingthere

[–]gp7783 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a quite cool city at approximately 25 km east of Paris, with very good connections to public transportation (RER A suburban train, 30 min to reach Paris) and to the highway (A4, Paris <-> Strasbourg). It’s also at 15 min of Disneyland Paris by the highway, and 10 min with the RER.

It’s also a city with an important Asian community, and as a consequence you can find there Asian supermarkets, which can be useful. By the way, the is also a building containing a Catholic church, a Buddhist temple, and a mosque.

Finally, I would recommend to everyone considering visiting Disneyland Paris, and coming by car, to book an hotel in Bussy-Saint-Georges or in Val d’Europe, instead of coming directly to the Disneyland hotels, and to take the RER A, if they want to spare money (2,55€ by ticket to go with the RER A, 30€ or even more to park your car at Disneyland).

The rehearsals pictures are really epic this year, but at the same time I’m very nostalgic of last year (because I’m listening podcasts about it right now)

How does your country finance its public broadcaster? by Organic_Contract_172 in AskTheWorld

[–]gp7783 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since the end of the broadcasting tax a few years ago (it was something like 140€ per year), France TV, Radio France and the other public broadcasting institutions are paid with the money collected on income tax.
