Eurovision 2023: the show of unfairness and the triumph of people’s hearts

My god, this year left me exhausted.

It’s 1:30 am, the Eurovision Grand Final just ended and I am starting to write this post now, because I need some time to calm myself before going to bed. And maybe putting down some thoughts about this year will help me find some peace - at least for a couple hours.

This year has not been what was supposed to be, starting from the show and ending with the winner.

But let’s start from the beginning.

______________________________

Ukraine: robbed of their own show

We all know Ukraine couldn’t host Eurovision in their country because of the war, so they asked the UK to do that.

And the UK tried to be a good host. They reminded us of the reason why Ukraine couldn’t do it, they tried to call Ukrainian artists and make the show about them… only to systematically forget it two minutes later and start acting as if they won and this was their show.

I hope now you understand why last year I said to not give them power over anything. The UK has a tiny little problem called “massive ego” and if you give them a little crumb, they will immediately scarf the whole cake down.

This year should’ve been 70% Ukraine themed and 30% UK themed. What we had instead was the other way around: the UK gave us a tiny little interval show in the semifinals about Ukraine, then a massive show all about the UK.

The Gran Final has been the icing on this disgusting cake. It started with a bang, featuring all of our favourite Ukrainian artists in the span of five minutes: Tina Karol (I had no idea she was Ukrainian, what a nice surprise!), goddess Verka, my beloved Go_A with The Only Queen That Matters, aka Kateryna Pavlenko. And, of course, our favourite winners: the Kalush Orchestra. Man Carpet is still an icon and I still wonder what the singer sees behind that pink hat, but I don’t care. It’s perfect, it’s great, I want this but 200x more. I want them to steal the show, I want them in all interval acts. But no worries, I’m sure they will definitely appear more during the final. I mean, there’s no way the UK called them just to appear for 20 seconds, right? Right?

Oh sorry, my bad. I forgot this isn’t Ukraine’s show, this is UK’s show. We should definitely have Sam Ryder in the interval act and we should definitely make it all about English songs. I mean, it’s not like there are four of the most beloved Ukrainian artists in Liverpool. Let’s make it all a huge masturbation session of the UK instead.

I apologize if my metaphor offended someone, but this is what I felt while watching the UK celebrating itself. Like… can’t you do this in a private room? Do I really have to watch it? This is just one step below Portugal’s show, which showed a massive ego as well and tortured me for three nights straight, by repeating how cool they were and how nice they were and how I would’ve done a great choice visiting them.

But even if that was torture, at least Portugal was the winner of the previous year, not a host masturbating over the fact they are allowed to host a show they didn’t win.

The only choice I fully approve of in this show is the postcards idea: that was very elegant and respectful and I want to thank the person who thought about it. The cards show Ukraine’s beautiful places, UK’s beautiful places and every country’s beautiful places. It’s all beautiful and it’s a great way to both honor Ukraine and emphasize UK’s hosting role, since it looks almost like the UK acts as a “connection” between Ukraine and every other country.

Unfortunately for us, this is the last proof of elegance we will see for the rest of the show.

My esc 2023 opinions no one asked for

Way too many ballads

Switzerland having one of the worst ballads, being pretty insensitive

Käärijä on stage:👁👅👁💃🏋

Käärijä in the green room: 🧍‍♂️😐

Irelands literally going down in esc history as "the guy with the golden cameltoe" who was winy about not qualifying

CZECHIA BEING ABSOLUTE GIRLBOSSES although i wish it was entirely in czech cos i didnt really like the english parts

Austria girlbossing their tits off with a funny, original song that fucking SLAPS

Some of the most disappointing results in history. My stomach actually hurt after the final result because i did not expect the generic sweden ballad to actually win points with the audience when sexy finland man was RIGHT. THERE.

No i dont hate her. I hate the jury

And on top of that, even though I got the impression that Austria and Czechia were fan favourites, their scores were soooo low. Which saddens me because they really stood out between all the boring entries

"12 POINTS TO ISRAEL" 👁👄👁???

Im sideyeing anyone who voted israel

I genuinely do not remember anything from italy except for the trampoline and his glitter shirt

Sweden vaguely sounding like "the winner takes it all" by abba

Graham norton going 😐 when he was listening to his earpiece

The hosts utter confusion when the crowd was chanting "käärijä" and "cha cha cha" which they handled pretty awkwardly imo

EBU does not care what we think about the results. Any sort of publicity or engagement is still engagement.

Albania is so overlooked imo T-T i really liked that they were performing as a family and the song was pretty good! The vocals were impressive! And it wasnt an english ballad !

France is tall vampire mommy <3

the jury system is inherently rigged. This is not new. But this year it was just very apparent.

Netherlands was boring and no one was surprised

Australia casually eating sandwhiches during the jury results not expecting douze points from anyone and then having cameras on them while their faces were stuffed gave me life

Germany deserved better

look at him. if you even care btw

[ae-therr]

what do men need those big huge titties for if i can't hold them

[ae-therr]

That's what happens...

...when the guitarists don't have to play for a while...they find their one fun😊 (from YT account The Gallery - Extreme Metal Portal - Youtube)

The others were all at a specific distance from eachother so after some pondering where to wriggle himself in, Paul moved to the outside next to Richard. Making Richard decide to move to Paul's mic.

Quickly turning back to push his 'mic up' button so the mic would be ready for Paul (very considerate 😊)

...he needn't have bothered, because Paul enjoyed playing with the button as well..

before leaning over on Richard's station to see what the other guitarist was doing with his mic, then pointing at Richard in a "hey, you take good care of that" way

making Richard clean the mic very neatly 😊

...see what i mean with 'making their own fun' 😊

oh, and we have another thrashed mic stand, Till dragged it with him to the dick cannon and only there dropped it 😄

also when gerard was talking about how the sky seems to have cleared up and the second he finished sentence lighting was seen behind the scene in the distance💀💀💀

at the beginning of the warsaw show I was so nervous because the weather wasn't that good and then second support had to end their performance earlier because it started raining. and then the whole show got put on hold because we could hear the nearby storm and rain was getting heavier and I was on the verge of crying because whole thing could be called off, but then after like 20 minutes after scheduled mcr start they came on stage and gerard was wearing his silly little poncho raincoat or whatever it was and it turned out to be the best night I ever had
