Eurovision 2024 Grand Final Live Thread
(lemmy.world)
Baby Lasagna channeling Rammstein
Feel bad for norway and estonia
Highlights from the Dutch broadcast (paraphrased):
- "The EBU reminded us that we're contractually obligated to do this broadcast."
- "Instead of the Netherlands we skip to Isreal, good thing they are completely uncontroversial."
- "Everyone makes mistakes, the EBU also knows a lot about that."
My tier list:
Top
- Ireland. Bambie Thug is a legit talent beyond this competition. I look forward to what they do after this.
- Spain. A classic. Top five, possible winner.
- Switzerland. Fun mix of genres, great performance.
- United Kingdom. The song grew on me, and the staging is still amazing.
- Croatia. Energetic, though there are a couple better performances in this competition.
- Greece. Sounds like Mediterranean reggaeton in the best way. Is it my imagination, or was the camera work better during the semis?
- Netherlands. It wasn't the very best, but it was a first-tier Eurovision song.
- Estonia. Lots of fun.
- Norway. Great song, great staging.
- Armenia. Fun song, energetic performance.
Mid
- Lithuania. Upper mid tier. Decent dance song, great performance. I like the outfits too.
- Luxembourg. Upper mid tier. Solid song, decent staging
- Sweden. I like it better the second time around, at the top of the mid tier.
- Finland. They're trying something fun, at least
- Ukraine. Another song that grew on me, but still mid-tier.
- Serbia. A very good, though not outstanding, song.
- Italy. Nice beat, awesome graphics, bland song and dancing.
Lowest
- Austria. Nice boots she's wearing though.
- Portugal. Nice masks on the dancers though
- Cyprus. Unimaginative.
- Slovenia. Ok song, but there's a lot of competition.
- Israel. Everything else aside, it isn't that great of a performance.
- Germany. ISAAK is giving it 100% but it isn't that great a song, and the staging is bland.
- Georgia. This is fine.
- France. He has a great voice, though.
Ugh, once again the public's favourite is shoved aside by the jury's favourite. What's the point of voting when the jury gets to decide ~~every time~~ anyway?
Every time?!
I am genuinely sorry if your favourite didn't make it, but that just… happens for most people when there are many songs. My favourite in 2021 was Switzerland, who won the jury vote but didn't win overall. But like yeah, Maneskin won and it's fine, because it's not just about me. Keiino was my favourite in 2019 as well, but yeah, Arcade was also a great song and a winner. And today, Nemo certainly deserved to win.
Who was the public favourite?
Croatia
Only by 14 points in front of Israel though (337 vs 323 points)
Political asside, i dont think Israels song was good enough for that!
The booing on israels jury was heavy
Also every time Israel gets points!
They got a fucking lot of them tho wtf
Yeah what? Like it was a grand tune but absolutely was not expecting that from the public vote.
Edit: Just saw the result of the Irish public vote and Israel got 10 in fairness with Croatia getting a well deserved 12.
Congratulations Nemo!
They got crowned by the Witch!
I saw that. It was very cute and he took the crown on stage with him. Lovely stuff. They seemed to have a genuine bond.
Ireland is quite unique and should get extra points for a their original performance.
Lordi won, so Bambie Thug has a chance. I'm guessing top five, though they're my favorite.
What's going on?!?!?!
This really means people rallyed around Croatia (and maybe some around Israel or Ireland too, in general the popular ones)
I expected Ireland to do a little better on the public vote but happy to see Croatia get the public vote win. Superb tune and performance.
Switzerland deserved it, im suprised about germany, ireland deserved a bit better and i think fuckery happened with israel. Really bummed about netherlands tho.
If Netherland wouldn't have happened, this would have been such a great ESC. But yeah… they just needed to fuck it all up.
Honestly, while I'm happy about Switzerland (and Germany tbh), I'm just… still feeling awful, because I feel so sorry for Joost, as this was so important and emotional to him with his parents. I really despise Österdahl and the EBU right now for taking that from him.
I dont get why the jury from netherlands was banned aswell, felt really awful
Correction from comments: Not banned but stepped down, still felt wierd
As far as I know, they weren't banned, there was just no-one willing to be a spokesperson lol. But this is just what I heard from a comment in a thread, so don't take it as verified.
Nikki de Jager (who was supposed to be the spokesperson) said on TV that it didn't feel right to hand out points. The Dutch broadcaster then told the EBU to just figure it out themselves.
Käärijä (Finland) also stepped down but got replaced, and Alessandra (Norway) already stepped down earlier because of Isreal.
Austria is peak 90s eurodance
Yea but "ram di dam dam" is just too ridiculous imo. Love the show, the song, dance and everything but that text sounds like satire of the genre
Easy to sing along and speaking of ridiculous: heard of Scooter? How much is the fish?
Ofc i heard of scooter
