“If we remove the juries this’ll be a popularity contest with just the wackiest acts making it through and do you want that?” YES? In this economy? In this depressive state of the world? I wanna have one week when snorting glitter and putting cabbages on your arms would be encouraged, not ridiculed thank you very much
– Reduce jury votes: I get that eliminating them completely is not a possibility. The EBU wouldn’t agree to that. However, maybe their importance should be lower. Make the vote 70% Public + 30% jury. In the end, people should be the ones selecting the winner, not a 5 person jury often selected in a non-transparent manner.
– Winners shouldn’t be allowed to come back. And not only past winners, but also consolidated artists. Harry Styles shouldn’t represent the UK nor Rosalía with Spain. They already have the spotlight. Past winners also had their moment and enjoyed the momentum. The opportunity should be offered to those who haven’t tasted it yet.
– Israel shouldn’t participate. This one is self-explanatory. It’s hypocritical for the EBU to ban Russia from competing and not Israel. They should do better.
Good luck to everyone not interested in the pop juggernaut that is Eurovision over the next week. You’ll get absolutely no sense from me, especially next Saturday. 🎉🎉🎉
