Even though I'm not even going to watch it, I have no choice but to host this thread as the event is taking place in my own city.
So, who do you think is going to win? According to the bookies the favourites are Italy, France and Malta.
Germany won't win
shareAnd Italy wins!
Good luck organizing the contest with our money next year!
The UK got zero points.
shareTwo years in a row now.
shareBrexit or just not enough lobbying by the British delegation?
shareWe havenβt done well for decades. We treat it as a joke here.
shareDoes anyone in Western Europe still take it seriously? I honestly don't know anyone who does. Seems like a bigger deal in Eastern Europe.
shareIt is taken very seriously here in Sweden and in the other Nordic countries as well.
Is it really not taken seriously in the Netherlands?
After all, you did pretty well in the '10s and even won in 2019.
No, not really. I don't think anyone expected us to win last time. I assume you guys still have a national contest? We haven't had one of those in years!
I saw Sweden didn't do so well this year. How come?
And thanks for nothing, Europe! We organize a Eurovision contest during an epidemic and we only get 11 points!π
I believe that we all expected Tusse to do better than 14th place, but you can't make the top 10 every year.
And it seems like you simply followed the trend during the last five years now, that the host entry will flop.
It was true for Ukraine 2017, Portugal 2018 and Israel 2019 as well.
I guess we shouldn't have sent a song about broccoli...π₯¦
Did you like the show, though? People over here said they were really impressed with the effects during the Afrojack performance.
