EVERYONE LISTEN TO THIS RIGHT NOW

Thought I'd share with everyone, who doesn't speak German. In yesterday's livestream with ESC Kompakt, LOTL shared some thoughts about the voting system and the impact of juries in Eurovision. I think they speak for a lot of us here, bc these are issues we point out every year.

Chris: "Generally I have an opinion about the ESC, specific things and the voting system. I don't say this because I'm searching for excuses or I want to say "yeah, but we were actually in sixteenth place in the televoting and blah blah blah". I'm not trying to sugarcoat the result but generally I think if I were responsible for the ESC and could make changes, I'd firstly get rid of the big 5. We realised it backstage at the semi finals, everyone was so happy, they fought hard, they did it and you walk along and... nobody gives you dirty looks but everyone is congratulating eachother and you're just there and feel bad because you're automatically in the final. That's the first thing.

Secondly that only the first ten get points. When 26 countries are competing, it would be nice if we could implement a system where everyone gets points. Maybe weighted differently but still get points. I think that would be nice.

And finally, sorry if I'm getting ahead of myself, I don't want to start arguing but I'm a big fan of the people's choice! I think it doesn't matter how good and professional a member of the jury is, we're all human and we all have different preferences. And maybe there's someone (in the jury) from country xy, like a great schlager singer that won the ESC in the 60's confronted with a guy like Käärijä. Maybe she doesn't understand why an entry like this is a smart, artistic, great entry in today's ESC world, and says "What's this trash? He doesn't even sing." You know what I mean? Those are three things I'd change."

Pi: "You have... how many was it? 136 from all countries? And you have millions of audience votes and the fact that this is weighted 50/50. A small handful of people have the same impact as millions of people, in direct comparison, they actually have more impact. I think it's always problematic when a small group of people have the most power. For example, without trashing the rich, but the billionaires of the world, as few as they are, have more influence than regular people. And that's... I think that's questionable."

Despite the criticism I really like how positive they are and say that they'd participate again anytime, just because of how much they enjoyed the general experience.

'scream for me liverpool' was the hardest way to enter this madness of a song

On a not so angry note like all my last eurovision posts.

It's really touching to see that so many people that aren't German agree that we had a good song for once and deserved higher points.

Barbara: Freunde, ich bin optimistisch.

Publikum lacht ungläubig

Barbara: Ja, was soll ich denn sagen?

Unpopular opinion but Germany was better than Sweden and deserved better

Just leaving this here. For reasons.

Not gonna lie, actually rooting for my own country this year makes watching eurovision 100% more stressful

I hate everything, Finland was robbed and it was embarrassing to have Germany and Portugal so low on the charts.
