Hello my friend who knows Eurovision. What happened and why do we need to destroy the Swiss? (I think it's the Swiss)

I don't know if you noticed but the huge majority of the Internet (myself included) simply found their song boring and dull, especially when you compare it with the other contestants this year. Not only that, but Loreen, the singer that represented sweden, already won it for sweden 7 years ago.

Despite that, there is a gigantic cave difference between the jury votes and the Public ones. While the public gave them only 2 or 3 points, the ones from the jury ranged from 18 to 20.

And obviously there's a reason for that.

The way Eurovision works is that the winner of each contest gets to hold the next one, meaning that next year Eurovision will be hosted by Sweden.

Coincidentally an option that's pretty cheap and also coincidentally overlaps with ABBA's 50 year anniversary. Isn't that wild?

But this definitely isn't a new phenomenon. Sweden has handed in some of the most forgettable pop songs to Eurovision and still somehow always made it into at least the semifinals.

So basically, because of a corrupt Jury Finland (who deserved this win imo) got robbed of the number one spot which went to Sweden instead.

#but also the fact that Eurovision is completely corrupt isn't anything new #it just became painfully obvious this year
