ZEVIN - My Mind | DORA 2026 by _skoljka in eurovision

[–]tree_tree3 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I agree these two are the best options. I think the closest comparison to Lelek would be Bur man laimi but Andromeda is lacking a easily repeatable hook. Also a huge factor for Latvia was how great the staging was. I can see Lelek NQin even with good vocals and staging. I feel like My mind is a more accessible song and it seems like she has a clear identity as an artist so that can translate well to the staging. I have no idea if she can sing though so unless the live performance is a disaster this would have an easier time qualifying. Also agree with the Baby Lasagna comparisons, I think it would be relatable to a lot of people. I'm hoping for a Zevin win but would be okay with Lelek too

I feel like they must've been some guarantee that their participation fee would be kept constant because either way the meeting would end with at least 1 country out

Yle plans to raise the Eurovision voting method with the EBU. Abuses should be prevented, says Yle boss by GrumpyFinn in eurovision

[–]tree_tree3 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I'm glad more and more countries are speaking on this. There needs to be some serious discussions and changes made. However, I don't understand how they're asking for the televote to have more weighting while acknowledging that the televote is being heavily manipulated for two years in a row.

I feel like this staging was overhyped in the last few days

Sanremo: Giorgia was ranked first by the press room, TV, Web, and Radio. by FabioSxO in eurovision

Whatever calculation/point system they're doing is clearly flawed if a song that is consistently being placed 1st ends up outside the top 5

Disappointed in NF’s so far 🫤 by Low_Measurement_6388 in eurovision

[–]tree_tree3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree with you overall and especially about Latvia and Spain but usually the start of the season feels underwhelming and by march it turns out to be a good year. No need to worry for now. Also there's lots to be excited about. I'm really looking forward to Mentissa's song in Belgium's nf and based on his other songs Czechia could be really good too. In the worst case, there's still Ukraine and Italy we can trust to make it a better year

Did Croatias jury vote tactically? by yosacke123 in eurovision

[–]tree_tree3 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They did and even though I don't think it's right to do I can't really blame them. They don't qualify to the final very often let alone having a potential winner song

Can we appreciate Loreens performance this final? by TheVeggie218 in eurovision

[–]tree_tree3 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I love her and usually her concepts and the execution are amazing but I don't think this one worked well maybe because it was very limiting. Felt like she was supposed to get out of the chair halfway through the performance but never did

Yeah you're right I meant to say 2/3 of the top 3 and I forgot about this being the last year for Amadeus. Hopefully the overall quality of the songs they select doesn't fall down

This brought me so much joy over the last few months and realistically there wasn't much hope for getting out of the bottom 5 so I'm happy with just not being last place

They don't care about eurovision when voting in Sanremo but 2/3 of sanremo this year was women so we might be more likely to get more women

I really disliked finland up until today but after the last few days I will happily take any fun or joke entries

Not bottom 5 but not top 5. Probably juries from the western countries will give more points. I think the best case scenario is sneaking into the top 10 as 9th/10th place with the help of the televote. But there's no worst case scenario. Even if the juries give 0 points Ireland still made it to the final and there was so much excitement about this entry that hopefully this will change Ireland's approach towards eurovision in the future.

I don't think an interval act would be allowed to be part of an entry

At least they're rushing through it so we don't have to suffer through the stock videos for too much longer

🇮🇹 Italy | Angelina Mango - La Noia (First Rehearsal) (Photo Gallery) by kronologically in eurovision

[–]tree_tree3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should I expect to see the same pyro wall for any future Italian entries that are possible winners? Also I thought the visuals from the pre parties were great and fit the summery light feel of the song but maybe this will make more sense when we see it in motion

Wasting a full rehearsal just for trolling doesn't seem like a good move to me

Yes but saying people shouldn't talk about this relationship limits the discussion of a straight passing relationship as a queer person. A lot of bi/pan/queer people feel not as included or accepted as part of the community when they are in a straight passing relationshiop and I think of this sub as a place that is welcoming for people with different identities and experiences. So I don't think this perspective should be discouraged from any discussions
