Not bothering voting this year because desperate religious zealots are going to spend a fortune to give Israel the win anyway so there's no point.

And also, the whole "you get 20 votes but have to pay for each one" is just... well, catering only to desperate religious zealots.

That said - LA NOIA!

I love Loreen as much as the next guy (or girl), but this just seems like something for people with a gynecology chair fetish.

IIRC these votes are jury votes and make up one half of the result. The other half are call-in votes; that comes later.

And each country picks a jury somehow. In other words it is rigged.

Considering Norway hasn't gotten a single point from them yet, it clearly doesn't work.

Edit: 6 points from Albania, but point still stands imo.

Most fascinating thing about this is how big the delay is to all the juries they're talking to.

I mean - we can all talk to people across the world with barely any delay, but somehow the biggest music competiton in the world still has to deal with 5-10 seconds delay when talking to someone in a country right nearby?

These days they are only spelling out who gets the 12. In the old days days they spelled out every single point in three languages lol.

Yea, don't know how they think the current voting system is better.

Calling in to each country just to give the 12 jury-points and then have the presenters just rapidly rattle off the "peoples vote" is just a really bad way of doing this.

Switzerland won by splitting the single-issue voters. They must have watched The Wire.

Calm down, Denmark haven't even made it to the final since 2018. Maybe we don't have enough gays.
