the thing is, even if the landslide televote victory isn't enough for them to win, why would I put myself in front of that split screen situation again? I've been there, it feels like shit. It's not about the joy of whoever wins anymore and their fans, it's about the relief of who didn't (yet). martin green was right in his response to that nyt article that it was another story about who didn't win, but that's the contest they have now designed, the focus will never entirely be on the actual victory and it won't feel as celebratory as it should. and it's insane to me that I'm supposed to be rooting for the juries to be colluding to a) vote them down and b) vote for the same favourites. what the fuck kind of competition is this?? and then do this bullshit again, just somewhere else next year?? absolutely not

have you seen the posts comparing the streaming numbers a week before the contest for the last few years? because lol - lmao, even

ok so who are your favourite people still covering euro/vision, with a critical eye, but also post about it in a text based platform that is not twit/ter

the official channel uploading all the old winners in HD is the most joy this contest has given me in a year

idk I think it could very fun if the ebu pissed off svt
