#Eurovision2023
The new Eurovision season unofficially starts tomorrow, but here's one last look back at 2023, in a lengthy blog post I originally planned to put together in late May, but... you know... things happen in life.

I’m only now noticing that someone snuck a United Federation of Planets flag into the arena. Good job, that citizen.

I'm listening to my #Eurovision playlist again. I never truly escape that Eurovision mood.

I think Käärijä works for Bolson Construction #ZeldaTearsoftheKingdom #Eurovision2023
I was watching through the Unser Lied für Liverpool performances and to be honest I think the televote and jury both made the right choices. Lord of the Lost won the televote and I think they had the most unique and complete performance. Will Church won the jury, and I think it could have done well in Liverpool too!
The others, I don't really see doing better than LOTL, although I really liked Anica Russo's song, and I'd love to see Trong represent Germany with a better song.
Also I would like to thank the international juries for almost unanimously tanking Ikke Hüftgold's points. Jesus Christ, that was bad. Plus, he has a history of racism and sexism, so I'm glad Germany didn't send them.
LOTL's Eurovision result was obviously very disappointing, and I think the jury robbed them! The televote, I can understand, as this year was a band-heavy year, but the whole point of the jury is to apply their musical expertise, and they failed to do that. Although I suppose they wouldn't appreciate LOTL's song since the majority of them only have pop or classical expertise. ThePeaceAround did a great video on this topic which I would highly recommend!

Dix jours après #Eurovision2023 qu'en ai-je gardé ?
Cha Cha Cha de Käärijä en boucle avec tous ses remix et reprises. 💚💪🏻🕺🍹
Un peu Auto jää (la seule autre de ses chansons que j'ai appréciée), Mama ŠČ de Let 3 (pas envie d'enquêter plus loin sur ce groupe, lol) ,Who the Hell is Edgar (je dois encore regarder le clip et me pencher sur leur discographie).
Et enfin le groupe slovène Joker Out, dont j'écoute tout, et qui est juste ma tasse de thé, je vais acheter leurs albums si ça continue. 😍
(mais Cha Cha Cha reste le vainqueur de l'Eurovision)
Sweden winning #Eurovision2023 means we get Måns back as host next year, right?!?
Ich hab den Gewinnersong des #eurovision2023 so oft gehört, dass er mir inzwischen gefällt. Danke, Privatradio.
So been radio silence for a bit now, mostly because for the last 5 weeks I was working on a job and NDAs and all of my energy was in it.
But now we're done, so I got the absolute pleasure (and pain) of working the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 as part of the sound team!
I'll share a little bit of the behind scenes stuff and try to explain what it was like.
Boosts welcome etc
It's been more than a week since the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 concluded, but my mind is working overtime and I'm working part-time so I wrote my thoughts regardless. Some of them actually make sense, I think. If you're deep into the world's oldest TV musical competition, maybe you'd like to look at my overlong analysis and fight over how wrong I am (my guess is 80%)
Got around to ripping my Eurovision 2023 CDs today.
I had honestly forgotten what a faff ripping CDs is!!!
Even more so when the CD data didn't load from a metadata provider 😖
I definitely didn't then make a playlist to put the songs in the grand final order 😅
& I'm definitely not going to make to further playlist that only contains the songs I liked...
... & possibly ones for the semi finals too 😅
@DHS We were there for the preview shows the night before each semi-final (same show but without real voting) and it was fantastic! An amazing experience. #Eurovision2023
A little Eurovision colour.

@sekhmetdesign @chrisjrn @DevRhiana : I'm pretty crook, so I'm not quite sure what was a hallucination, but my tops were Finland, Australia, Edgar (Austria?), and then anything which made me feel like my fever and wonky consciousness was from participating in a shamanic ritual with reindeer filtered substances, rather than my upper respiratory infection. #Eurovision2023 #eurovision

Es kann nicht sein, dass die Jury des diesjährigen #ESC:s die Punkte fast ausschließlich an Schweden vergab. Es kann nicht sein, dass die #EBU eine Show fürs Publikum macht, jedoch nach der Punktevergabe der Jury gefühlt der Gewinner feststand. Für wenn macht man die Show überhaupt? Für die Jury oder fürs Publikum?

When Finland's entry was chosen, we all knew what it meant - massive televote victory, paltry sums with the jury. When Sweden's entry was chosen, we all knew it would win the jury and do relatively well with the televote. That's why the bookies got this right from the start - Loreen would clearly do better with the televote than Käärijä would do with the jury.
The idea that producers of Melodifestivalen, top Swedish songwriters, Loreen, and Martin Österdahl all conspired with each other to create a Swedish entry and then bribed the juries to vote for it is dumb, and it's baffling that people actually believe it
I'm not saying I like the jury, and it definitely needs reform, but it shouldn't be abolished (we don't need a repeat of the 2000s)
Anyway, this is unrelated, but my favourite Loreen song has to be her ATLAS version of Euphoria - it's hauntingly beautiful, and I wish she would release more songs like this! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqVoPg3AUg4

This morning I clocked that my monkey paw wish which was granted in 2022 that Euphoria was no longer #esc250 number 1 fully had a round two. #Eurovision2023

There is no irony that a festival of Music in Europe (+Australia and Israel) united not only the people present but also a good part of those watching on TV, eclipses entirely a manufactured festival by a Govt celebrating a country turning its back on the major part of Europe, an act of self harm.
The background singers for Pasha Parfeni at #eurovision2023 had a really cool design. Reminded me slightly of the KLF.

So I'm still listening to stuff from #Eurovision #Eurovision2023 and I was going to send my metalhead friend the song from Germany (Blood and Glitter by Lord of the Lost)
THEN
I discovered that Germany's entry did a cover of Finland's entry! This is the greatest thing I've heard today, and I share it with you now. #ChaChaCha
Really great interview with Loreen over in The Guardian.
Might love her a bit. 💚
Mit „Guildo hat euch lieb!“ holte er 1998 den 7. Platz für Deutschland – jetzt kritisiert Guildo Horn den #ESC2023 und hat den Tipp: „einfach mal pausieren“.
💙💛 The attention to detail Liverpool businesses such as Nova Scotia Liverpool put into welcoming Ukraine and fully embracing Eurovision is incredible!
💙💛 The location of Nova Scotia is ideal, situated on Mann Island, which is only a short walk from Liverpool ONE and across the street from James Street.

Today's mood after 6 hours at work.
Further reviewing of the detailed #Eurovision2023 jury results has resulted in me screaming about the WILL OF THE PEOPLE.
The UK jurors placed Finland 16th, 21st (2 of them!!), 22nd, and 23rd place.
The UK public awarded Finland 12 points.
Fuck experts, etc. etc.
There's a petition aimed at the EBU for jury votes to be removed from Eurovision in light of the controversy over their skewed voting in Eurovision 2023.
https://www.change.org/p/demanding-transparency-and-fairness-remove-jury-votes-from-eurovision
I doubt the EBU will listen, but it's worth a shot to make sure that future winners are also the public's favourite.
Fellow #Eurovision fans: what songs are stuck in your head since the contest? I’ve had a constant rotation of Austria, Finland, Belgium, Portugal, Germany & Malta stuck in my head for the past week.
A lot of songs is started off like ‘wtf is this’ and ended up ‘why can’t I get this song out of my head’ 😆
OK, so the dust has settled. I wanted Finland to win. Sweden has grown on me.
But only Norway has made it into my Apple Music library. #eurovision #Eurovision2023

”Someone else would have won if the rules , that we were aware of in advance, were different.”
Isn’t that true about every game, sport or contest ever?
En av de kvarvarande känslorna från Eurovision igår är ändå när hela arean sjunger med i ”You’ll never walk alone”. Det är nästan så att man kan bli Liverpool-supporter bara för stämningen. #Eurovision2023
Somehow there weren’t any GIFs of Loreen’s #Eurovision2023 performance, so it was my duty as a new citizen of Sverige to make some.
It was a big #Eurovision weekend special, but what if there were this many bikes on Liverpool's roads all the time?
Over 150 riders joined #PelotonLiv for a #JoyRide through the city, winding up at the #Eurovision2023 Village.

@SecurityWriter Great explanatory thread about #Eurovision2023. I don’t have a TV and haven’t watched it since childhood, so hadn’t understood some of the nuances.
Eurovision votes in detailed views, graphs and stats.
One quick reflection is that the public vote and the jury vote are really similar, and where the biggest difference between the two vote types were for Norway and Croatia.

Just wanted to say from the day after #Eurovision #Eurovision2023 #eurovision23:
* Finland was indeed robbed
* A massive thank you to to every server admin on the #Fediverse who tried to keep their server going under the tsunami wave of posts about Eurovision - whether your server was #Mastodon, #Calckey, #Pixelfed, #Friendica, etc. You all did a fantastic job on the night, no matter the result. I would like to think everyone cannot thank you enough.
* Seeing everyone participate in Eurovision on the Fediverse was spectacular. I've never seen so much excitement and chatter before. I felt like I was part of a wholesome community - something I've longed for in other social media platforms, but never truly got with all the anger, aggression, and trolling. None of that was here, and it made the Fediverse absolutely beautiful! ❤️
Times Radio this morning - too much focus on Liverpool, nowhere near enough on Ukraine. C’mon folks, let’s remember WHY Eurovision was in Liverpool

In the #Eurovision final, the public vote in 18 countries gave #Käärijä / #Finland the 12 points where as #Loreen / #Sweden didn't got the full 12 points from any country.

The semifinal results have been declared:
1. #Finland 177 points
2. #Sweden 135 points
3. #Israel 127 points
And as we know, this was purely the public vote.
So yes, #Käärijä was robbed by the juries in the final.

50th anniversary of Abba winning & the juries gave their biggest vote to Sweden 🤔
Coincidence much?
Jury vote needs to be resigned to the history books. It's not fit for purpose.
I live in the US, so I just get to decide the voting results don't matter and Finland won the whole thing. Yup. Totally doing that instead. #Eurovision #Eurovision2023
