Romania please bring the opera singing gay vampire goth king back it‘s been 10 years

I’m not even surprised by how horribly the esc participants are being treated because I remember how Theodor Andrei was treated last year.

He was 18, still in high school, and was constantly being threatened by his own delegation for daring to have opinions on his own performance. They forced him to finance everything himself, they gave him no support whatsoever.

The ebu did nothing about any of this. The ebu doesn’t care about these artists, they only care about money. Delegations get away with appalling behaviour all the time.

I’d rather eurovision be over entirely than have more artists suffer being treated like commodities and the property of their countries broadcaster.

intro post

good evening europe!!! (i know it's not evening over there but... it's close enough)

are you upset at your fave not qualifying? do you want to prove to tumblr that they were the best in their semi? or are you upset about your favourite qualifying but doing poorly, possibly in the jury but especially the televote? that's what this bracket is here for.

how does this work? there are 11 non-qualifiers, and that's not a power of 2, meaning i can't make an even bracket of that. so, side a will be made of 8 non-qualifiers (3 from semi 1, 5 from semi 2). these will start at 7:00AM GMT. the other 5 competitors come from the bottom 5 places of the grand final televote. please send in via the ask box which one you thing it should be!! today (13/05) will be round 1 side a, tomorrow (14/05, 12 hours after the final) will be round 1 side b. then both sides will go at once, so all of round 2 will be on 15/05, round 3 (my semi) will be on 16/05, and round 4 (the final and 3rd place) will be on 16/05. this does mean once one poll finishes, the next will start. and that's why tumblr has queues!

how was seeding decided: side a was seeded based on the eurovision world betting odds and shit i've seen on tumblr, side b is be seeded on the placing of the bottom 5 and also shit i've seen on tumblr

so is there just no ability to submit? nope!!! if you want to send through an argument for others to vote for your snubbed fave, you can pop it through the ask box and i might put it on the vote to provide context and also because tumblr is way funnier than i am. but you can also totally reblog the poll onto your own blog with your argument and depending on my activity i'll reblog it :)

i know nothing about eurovision. please vote based on vibes and argument and staging it's so fun

who the hell is the mod: my name on here is aurora <3

see you in a couple hours

Theodor is only 18? The fuck? And that guy from Denmark is 25? No way, someone definitely got their ages mixed up or something…

[calandrinon]

He is a very patient man and I am very lucky <3

I see that there are rumours about Romania leaving. On one hand too bad, we have tons of talented artists in here that could miss out on a good result and hopefully restore the faith of Romanians in this contest. But on the other hand I think it's for the better, that said talented artist could have suffered the fate of Theodor and Roxen and get dragged through dirt and get a shitty staging just because we have an absolute wonderful broadcaster that will make sure for them to fail. Beautiful ❤
