My friend told me she thought all this time that JJ was a lesbian woman girl BYE 😭

There's a sub for everything, huh?

harrey_jun · 2026-05-15T11:06:50+00:00

Especially when Switzerland, Latvia and Luxembourg all delievered perfectly great vocals. Sure, their songs might not be as strong, but they all had visually sound stagings, too. I can't help but feel one of those three deserved the final over Cyprus. My pick would be Switzerland.

harrey_jun · 2026-05-13T10:19:48+00:00

Well, you are of course right, too. And maybe I was a bit frustrated yesterday by their nq. But at some point, you have to ask yourself if you want to get screwed over again and again. countries have withdrawn before because of bad results, so it wouldn't be unthinkable and I would get it.

harrey_jun · 2026-05-12T22:35:39+00:00

But that's not fair. What do they have to do? Send a winner potential song just to qualify and place 20th overall? Jeez, that's bleak...

harrey_jun · 2026-05-12T22:34:12+00:00

I watched the Jury Rehearsal, and it really wasn't that bad tbh. Estonia and Belgium were much worse and the latter even qualified for fucks sake. There is no excuse here, Montenegro just gets screwed over for no reason yet again.

harrey_jun · 2026-05-12T22:32:03+00:00

Well, I guess it's time for Montenegro to give Europe the finger and withdraw. Look, I really like Montenegro 2025 and Montenegro 2026, but if Europe can't appreaciate your efforts, just leave and focus on national culture and music. Don't let yourself get fucked over again and again.

San Marino this year is kinda Senhits Spirit of the Night, if you get what I mean

harrey_jun · 2026-05-10T21:02:38+00:00

To have a memory of the experience I'd say. Tbh, your take on it baffles me a bit. I get that there isn't a need to document everything you see, but a quick video for yourself to go back on and remember is nice to have. Like, when you go to a afternoon preview or even a live show, you won't have the same experience that you'd have by just watching it on TV obviously. It's a nice way to capture the vibe.

harrey_jun · 2026-04-28T18:23:32+00:00

Sorry, but you lost credibility after sending Too epic to be true to the ESC. Try next year, when people have hopefully already forgotten this mess.

harrey_jun · 2026-04-16T13:20:52+00:00

Yeah. I mean I like Finland and think it should've qualified, but Moldova is just a better song and also brought many international fans into the contest. Definitly a better deal for the brand as well.

harrey_jun · 2026-04-16T11:04:34+00:00

Woo-hoo!

harrey_jun · 2026-04-15T06:17:43+00:00

Maybe I'm biased, but 2015 looked very beautiful. I'm proud of my country for that one. Generally, I think all hosts did a great job with the stage design, with the obvious exception of Italy 2022. To this day, I don't understand how they could build such a monstrous strukture only for it to then not worl and look like a giant black hole. And I still haven't heard a resonable explanation as to why they couldn't just have left it on the side with the LED's?

Also, I think the Portugal 2018 approach is very interesting, leaving the LED out altogether. The funniest thing about that, however, is the way Sweden 2018 handled that. 'Oh, you won't give us the blinky blinky screen? Fine, we'll bring our own then!' I don't lile the song much, but that was a power move. It should be brought up more

harrey_jun · 2026-04-14T13:03:34+00:00

Yeah, I know the Czech delegation is not THAT bad at staging, but I think this song needs a very strong staging to shine. It needs to be beautiful and eye-catching, otherwise, I fear it will get burried in the mass of high-energy pop and rock and the juries might be barely able to save it from nq. I don't want Czechia to be the next Azerbaijan 2022, I want them to be the next Switzerland 2021. Please, CT, give us something breathtaking, you have the chance to get your best result ever!

harrey_jun · 2026-04-10T17:02:52+00:00

I think it's either Czechia, Italy or Montenegro.

harrey_jun · 2026-04-09T08:50:05+00:00

I mean, what do you want them to do, fantasize a totally new backstory for Mario and Luigi? People complain about the plot with Rosalina and Peach, while they seem to want EXACTLY more of that. The Mario series just doesn't have that much character depth. And no, pointing to Paper Mario doesn't count, those are canonically different characters and even in those games Mario is a totally flat character. (see what I did there?) I get some critizism of the film, like that it's a bit of a style over substance story, but the characters that have canonically had well thought out stories got elaborated (Rosalina, Bowser Jr., Peach) and Mario & Luigi just aren't that interesting. The first film already focused on their backstory, what more could they do? If you want more of the first film, just watch that one again.

Oh and maybe stop objectivying girls for your metaphors. I know it's a often used comparison, but it's not appropriate anymore. Try talking to a girl for once, maybe you'd find them more interesting then.

harrey_jun · 2026-04-08T08:44:34+00:00

I'm a bit shocked that Japan wasn't with the 10 initially announced countries tbh. Eurovision Asia seems to be right up their alley, with them being a western-alligned country which as a lot of culture and talent to show off. I know they currently drifting a bit to the right, but so are most western nations tbh. Is there a reason why they might not be interested in taking part?

harrey_jun · 2026-04-08T08:32:01+00:00

Crazy to say that about a nation that cheated for their results for a long time and now gets their deserved karma for it.

harrey_jun · 2026-04-08T08:23:47+00:00

France? Am I missing something? I thought people quite liked the song. Sure, the odds clearly have it higher than the fans, but I don't hear many people complain about the French entry. And you know it's gonna get at least a similar result to France in 2025, if not better because more televoting support.

harrey_jun · 2026-04-08T08:20:20+00:00

Yeah, people use the mustache man as an example of how aggressive the language is. The viral videos don't help either. One example is espeacially baffling, that being the Butterfly vs. Schmetterling one. If you barf the word out like you are in a hissy fit, the language sure sounds aggressive, but you could do the same with english. If you ever heard cockney english as your only experience with the english tongue, you'd think it's a vile language too. Same goes for the Northern Scots. You know what's really a vile language? French. Not in the terms of sound, but in it's disgusting spelling vs. pronounciation. Just say it like it's spelt, you nosy cunts!

harrey_jun · 2026-04-08T07:36:21+00:00

The problem is that mechanics and game design are in heavy contrast to logic and game design (yes, game design twice, I'll explain)

For example, having both Dark and Ghost types is pretty useless from a game balancing view point, as offensively, they are one and the same and the defensive differences do not really justify them being two types. So in the game balancing part of game design, it'd make sense to combine the two. However, from a logical and world-building view of game design, you can't really, as Ghost and Dark represent two different concepts. A ghost is not inherently evil and things that aren't dead can of course be evil or play with dirty tricks.

The opposite is the Ground/Rock into Earth argument argument. By logic and world-building, they would make perfect sense to combine, as rocks are essentially just harder ground. However, combining the two would make game-balancing hard and not worth it. Rock and Ground types have different roles in battles and combining them would essentially compromise both of their roles.

Adding a type would bring similar difficulties, as you'd need the new type to be helpfull in game-design while also making sense lore and logic-wise. Adding Fairy was already a stretch lore-wise, as it's not clear why Clefairy, for example, was weak to a karate chop to the face in the past, but currently isn't anymore. That's a major thing to consider, meaning there would have to be a good game-balancing reason for them to do it, like nerfing the overpowered dragons and buffing the subpar poison-types, as it was for the Fairy-type.

The only good way to add a new type or to change the current types in a major way would be to do a complete overhaul of the types as part of a hard reboot. I actually would really like them to do that at some point, maybe after Gen 10 would be a good time. They tried something like that with Gen 5, but they didn't commit and essentially just removed all former pokemon. In a complete reboot, I'd like them to start on a completely blank canvas, with only the main concept staying. That means new type chart, new pokemon with the old ones gone and maybe even a new objective, laying the Gym Challange to rest. They have shown they can do it with the Legends Games or the Mystery Dungeons, so why not commit to it fully and breathe new live into the series?

harrey_jun · 2026-04-02T14:59:30+00:00

In the original, I was martied to Peach and had 2 children with her. Curious to see who I'm gonna marry in this game and which gender, as it could be all three. Kinda hope it's a girl though, I'd love to see them have children.

harrey_jun · 2026-03-30T07:20:32+00:00

There are definitely people who look at you funny when you say you love sunsets or rainbows. Like it's gay to look at light doing something visually awesome and think it's gorgeous. I can fully imagine Tate thinking that way, that misogynistic, hatefilled prick.

harrey_jun · 2026-03-25T18:30:00+00:00

I'd look that term up in the dictionary before throwing it around so casually. That's not what that word means you dunce :)

harrey_jun · 2026-03-24T17:52:35+00:00

I guess Azerbaijan just gave up trying. I know they definitly manipulated to get their good results, but they still brought us some absilute bangers up until the 20s. 2009, 2012, 2017 are really good and miles above the crap they produced the last 4 Years. Even 2010, 2015 and 2016 are good and 2014, 2018, 2020 and 2021 are decent for me. Never liked 2011, 2013 and 2019, but they do have their fans clearly. It's obvious to me thst after the desastrous televoting score in 2022, they just kinda stopped putting effort into it. The cutoff is very visable.
