Eurovision song contest 2022

This song by Spain came 2nd in 1995. This is a wonderful performance with no gimmicks just a brilliant song and a great voice.

Traditional singer traditional song...

When did things change in Eurovision? what year?
was something gradual or sudden?

Someone knows?

[Cybele]

dunno if it was mentioned but some countries, like Romania, now say their jury vote seen the night of the final WERE NOT the ones they handed over, but were modified to score extra points for Ukraine. points were stolen from Moldova especially, at least in the case of the Romanian vote.

didn't watch the shit, but it's funny and scary to learn the West frauds voting like their archenemies. does it happen to elections as well?

Indeed. And, if I'm not mistaken the participation fee, was around 180.000-200.000 euros. So, a fraud paid from our taxpayer money.
At this point, Romania should stop participating in this rigged contest.

I've just watched Spain's performance. It is the type of performance that is very popular today with all the twerking and sexploitation that goes on. Like everything now there is no uniqueness. This is the oversexualised performance that is in your face that Cardi B, J Lo or Ariane Grande have perfected. It is just objectifying women and I think it shows the degradation of society. I think this is reflected in programs like Eurovision. It's quite tacky and compare to Spain's entry in 1995 which was pure class.

I liked the British, Ukrainian, Greek and Spanish entries but I really liked Frenchy entry with the Brittonic Celtic EDM song, also their Pagan/Satanic aesthetic was pretty cool. I appreciate hearing different languages on a platform like this, especially an almost extinct language.

The Cypriot entry was good as well but the live performance didn't go very well.

Just skimmed through some videos out of mild interest and curiosity about the symbolism that usually permeates such popular culture events.

In a few videos, I've seen multiple devil signs as part of the choreography repeated over and over again, Seth masks and mk-ultra outfits, as well as an oozing display of vulgar sexuality ...

No surprise, really.

If Ukraine hosts it next year that's one day I'll be supporting Russian precision bombing on Ukrainian territory - do the world a favour Vlad.

[Finnish Swede]

I haven't seen it. The only entry I've seen was Australia and that was bizarre.

At least she had clothes on ....

I thought the French entrie was Arab.

I liked the spanish perfomance, I don't understand the negative reviews.

I thought the French entrie was Arab.

Nope. I actually was also confused why the French song sounded not very French, but it didn't sound Arabic to me.

They probably had a French accent whilst singing in Celtic but I appreciate that they're trying to revive an old European language that is rarely heard.
