Ibrahim Tall Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 What's the Ukraine song this year? They went for something less political this time, maybe just a song called '????? ???? ?????' instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cade Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 That winning song from last year was shite. They need to find a better way of allocating the points. The judges are crap. They just changed it last year so that public voting gets a much bigger say. Each country's jury gives scores 1-12 as normal then that country's public vote also scores from 1-12. It really shows up the disparity between the judges and what the public want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooperstar Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 They just changed it last year so that public voting gets a much bigger say Aye but the judges probably all know each other and have a wee chat about their favourites. Too easy to influence each other. The favourite recently seems to win more often than not and it tends to be a shite song. I want nonsense euro trash to have a chance of success.

The favourite recently seems to win more often than not and it tends to be a shite song. I want nonsense euro trash to have a chance of success. Also, many of the songs are released months before the event and become huge smash hits across Europe so the public already know them and vote for them (see Satellite, Euphoria and Only Teardrops for prime examples) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His video has over 110m views compared to Portugal's 2m. Portugal's odds have only dropped due to the semifinals which of course Italy don't compete in.
