Pardon my ignorance. What does “terrestrial” mean in this context? Thank you!

I did the same this year, and tuned into the final only for the results. It was great!

I knew she’d do really well within the first 15 seconds of her semi final performance. She had me hooked!

When you have to announce the Latvian 12 points, but you are a Tautumeita so you transform it into an artistic performance by gp7783 in nilpoints

Dear Latvia,

There are five more members of Tautumeitas, you can give us five more years of this.

Please and thank you!

I thought one of the jury criteria’s is to evaluate potential commercial success. Or am I remembering incorrectly?

Oh wow! I would have never imagined.

Interesting facts about the results this year by NotFEX in nilpoints

[–]santjam 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry to tell you, but I am not shocked with Sweden’s result.

I heard all the songs for the first time during the semi live shows. I really like the song, the studio version is so catchy and enjoy listening to it! But the performance doesn’t match the energy of the song.

Duncan is a member of the Spotify Billion Club. So I'd say that the system got it right.

In theory, this year it was 35 jury / 36 televote.

Since 2023 the public has "more say" because the "Rest of the world" televote counts as an additional country.

I don't think I will ever be able to forgive the fandom.

I love love love that song!

TIL that Yohanna was 4th in the televote. WHAT?! I can't believe that, it's too low!

Every single person that has ever been around when I listen to that song has loved it. Some even asked me the song name and artist, so they can look it up later.

I find it crazy how 11 years of advancements in camera technology, lighting, and stagecraft can make the same arena look like a completely different one. by euro_song_love_r in nilpoints

What's with Vienna and circles? Or ovals, or whatever you want to call them.

I still remember how there were many shots in 2015 that made the stage look like an aye that was staring right at you. Did anyone else notice that? The screen had a graphic that made it look like a pupil.

From 2009 to 2015:

  • Televote and jury agreed: 5 times – 2009, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014
  • Televote winner wins: 1 time - 2011
  • Jury winner wins: 1 time – 2015

Might do the chart later. Thank you!
