hogso Posted May 14, 2016 Author Share Posted May 14, 2016 I think the top 3 tonight actually shows a combination of judges and public voting is the best thing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Or tells us that the juries are pretty shite Got no issue with the disparity between the voting that's pretty much how the Eurovision has always been ( thanks to the politics of it all ) I just don't think time spent going through all the jury votes works if you then spend five minutes at the end dishing out hundreds of points in one go, Ukraine pretty much trebled their score, can't see why they don't declare the nations public vote at the same time as the jury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted May 14, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted May 14, 2016 Massively disappointing Eurovision. Nothing worthy of a pisstake, nothing approaching a good song in there, and a dreadful winner. And not much to look at either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Just goes to show as I said earlier how crap thus show is. Poland on 7 points then the audience vote moved them to top five. Ridiculous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) Can't imagine a worse sight than a massive collection of Euro trash singing absolutely awful songs whilst the flag waving dickheads in the audience clap like seals.

They were invited as a special one off last year for the anniversary (Not sure why it was them in particular). Anyway, People loved it so they got invited back again.

Chindie Posted May 16, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted May 16, 2016 Australia was invited because they've apparently had the largest audience for Eurovision outside Europe for years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted May 16, 2016 Author Share Posted May 16, 2016 Israel have been in it for years, Morocco and Tunisia have been in it too, and China and possibly Qatar will be soon. So there's precedent for it, and I imagine we'll see more and more non-European countries joining over the next decade. Plus there's places like Egypt, Lebanon, Algeria and more, I think, which are non-patricipating members of the European Broadcasting Union, whom produce the show. If you look at International European football as a comparison though, some places like Faroe Islands, for example, can't compete as they aren't independant of Denmark. Which is a shame as I'd love to see Greenland compete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
