Ireland coming TOP 6 and so many juries giving high points to Bambie is what made my night. ❤
This Eurovision is almost incomprehensibly disastrous, in ways that will take days/weeks/months to digest, but a glimmer of a silver lining is our victor Nemo
To be fair no one making a fuss about it except for the “fandom” you won’t see anyone talking about it even the “peaceful protestors” in the next two weeks. So I suggest you to only keep off the toxic Eurovision blogs and voila problem solved.
I was so confused when Serbia got 22 points from THE JURY like 75% of the countries should find some new jurors because this is crazy, same goes for slovenia and georgia (who can probably outsing all proffesional jurors) getting less jury points than spain💀
So happy that Switzerland won I predicted the winner ages ago
I told you all, Switzerland was the only one who's going to get that trophy "and breaking it LOL".
time to save up and get them loans ready for next year.
Sadly could not watch it live. Very happy Switzerland won. Shocked Norway ended last, and Germany on the left side of the scoreboard?!?! Also this was Raiven's best performance. Did not expect Portugal to do a bit better than Greece, but dang. 6th for Ireland after bad results for years? Yeah she an be proud.
This year was a RIDE
Your reaction and analysis of the final is a cornerstone of my ESC experience every year. While it is sad we do not get that this year, I respect your decision to not cover it Alesia. Thanks for acting with earnest purpose and true to a moral compass.
This whole year depressed me. I’m ok with the winner, anyone over that country but Joost was the only reason I cared about this year and he wasn’t there. It didn’t feel right💔
You can still follow him and his music it doesn’t end here if you’re really interested
I hear you. It would have been great to have him on the stage
@@AlesiaMichelle He was a fan favourite as well, so the final result would have been different. Better luck next year for us Dutchies, but I’m glad we tried something different. Thanks for your nice vid’s, and CU next year although deep in my heart I hope we will skip a year or two.
Ireland doing better in the juries than in the televote is CRAZY. Bambie got 6th in the televote, 6th in the jury, and 6th overall 666🇮🇪💙💀 germany coming 12th!!! Norway coming last😮 latvia and Slovenia qualifying!!Switzerland WINNING!!!! The way im already excited for esc 2025💀💀💀
So so happy, ireland top 10, switzerland win just amazing
Croatia same situation like Käärijä and Finland... I'm so sad and happy at the same time...
Norway 🇳🇴 last 😢 THAT IS CRAZY....
So what are you suggesting more televote power because neither Finland nor Norway would’ve benefited for it. The problem was to many songs in the same genre to actually make you vote for all of them.
And the Israel/Ukraine mass voting would make it messier.
Not exactly because Kaariia’s biggest competitor wasn’t disqualified
Please, Alesia make sure you're back, otherwise the "end of Eurovision season" will be worse. We we will survive this year and the mess and as Iolanda so well said, "love will prevail" Love from a Portuguese in the UK
I still think, in a way, that Joost’s disqualification helped ensure *that* country wouldn’t win. Joost would’ve eaten yet another couple hundreds of points, which would’ve split BL and Nemo’s points even thinner. Justice for Joost’s tho.
no reaction to the votes?
We've watched it with friends in Rotterdam and I did still enjoy it. Switzerland winning is deserved. But I have to be honest; there is this nagging feeling something isn't right. There are too many signals. It was a slick show but there was no room for anything. Joost wasn't even mentioned. If this is the future of ESC the only thing I can say: Welkom in Europa, jongen. Let's just say giving 10 points to Germany and 12 points to Luxembourg?
Alesia, I feel you're pain but Bambie did great with the juries. There is room for us.
This is one of the strongest years of Eurovision of the 21st century, it's the year with the most queer representation and lots of delicious genre and Sonic diversity, and yet all of it was overshadowed by the EBU effing around and finding out by not disqualifying Israel the moment they openly submitted a propaganda song... Critically, something that the Ebu banned Belarus for doing just a few years earlier. Slap on the wrist and a Fresh coat of paint over the same propaganda song to make it palatable for the ebu, and now here we are... Two of the biggest stars of this season in exit interviews basically saying they were miserable for the entire contest and wish it could have ended sooner. When the winner of your contest is telling you that your contest is broken, you're in deep trouble.
Happy for Switzerland , he deserves it. What I don’t like is Switzerland hosting 2025, as it’s the home ground of the EBU, putting let pressure on them for next years contests.
Love and respect to Alesia.
I voted for Switzerland and Ireland. Ireland my nunber one. Switzerland deserving winner.💜
The problem with Eurovision is the same as with all social media nowadays; Anybody with a CZcams channel and a following can claim to be a 'Eurovision expert.' No experience or background in journalism, public relations, music, critical thinking, or basic professional etiquette is necessary. Granted, these skills can always be acquired. But too many of the content creators we're seeing today- in all forms of social media- are really only interested in their own self-promotion. Eurovision isn't their central focus; they are.They don't discuss the merits of the songs. They have no knowledge or respect for the countries' cultural and musical influences --Instead it's all, " I LOVE THIS song, I HATE THAT song," and the viewer is supposed to be entertained and informed simply by watching these podcasters' facial expressions while they watch videos.
It's narcissism. And it's also what gives so many of these podcasters the belief that they can behave however the hell they choose. Because thousands of subscribers tune in just for THEM, after all. So, if acting like a petulant a-hole gets them more subscribers, then that's exactly how they're going to behave.
I remember when cameras were brought into the press room back in 2014.. The atmosphere was like that at a college library, with reporters'' faces pressed in their laptops as they feverishly typed in silence. They were there to report the story of that days' events. But in 2024, the people in the press room now see themselves as the main story. They don't serve Eurovision, rather Eurovision's purpose is to serve them.This statement doesn't apply to everyone, naturally. But it's still the direction where I see it heading, and it may soon prove very detririmental to their involvement with the contest down the road.
Now for my probably very unpopular opinion regarding Eurovision's biggestt drama this year. I believe the EBU should accept full responsibility for its decision to allow Israel's participation, and for all he problems that resulted because of it. It created a toxic, stressful, and potentially dangerous environment for everyone involved with the contest. Keeping everyone safe from harm should be the EBU's top priority, and it failed. Thank God no major crises occurred. But the worries of some impending threat of radicalized violence was something many of us carried with us all week.
That said...The EBU permitted Eden Golan to perform this year. And so by their permission she had every right to be there. The treatment towards her by the press, podcasters, and her fellow contestants was abhorrent. Regardless of how justified or deserved people believed it was, it still amounted to bullying.
Now, we can remember back in 2014-15 when the Tolmachevy Sisters and Polina Gagarina received audible boos, -due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. But they were nothing like what went on this past week. Eden was suibjected to harrassment, ridicule, and death threats. She required bodyguards around her at all times. And all because she's from Israel snd agreed to participate in a song contest.
And no, I'm not pro-Israel. But I'm against seeing anyone getting bullied just because of who they are and where they come from. The level of torment became so elevated, that at one point other contestants were being threatened with boycotts simply for agreeing to participate in the contest with her.
We all knew the EBU's decision, and we could've boycotted the contest and stayed away from it this year.. Joost, Bambi Thug, Marina Satti, and every other contestant could have chosen to withdraw, as plenty of countries had threatened to do before ultimately agreeing to take part. We were well aware of the conditions, yet we still wanted things our way. And justified by a sense of moral righteousness and superiority, the collective aim became to make this as miserable of an experience as possible for the 20 year-old Israeli woman. Which it succeeded in doing. Only it ended up being a miserable experience for just about everyone. We can try to blame Israel for that.. But so many people contributed to killing the joy out of this year's contest. Because they refused to let this year just be about the music.
Nemo's win brings credibility to Eurovision...this is the only redeeming factor out of such a messy and politically ridden edition - (Israel gained what Italy lost in the public vote because of that leak - no one believe it was accidental and Angelina paid a price for that).
Anyway, the best and most creative act ever to appear in this competition has been recognized and awarded. I'm happy I voted for Nemo (and Angelina). This is good for Eurovision in the long term but something must be done to keep politics away for music.
Ireland was the best performance hands down, Croatia second. And this whole time I didn’t see Germany being bottom 5 at all. Never doubted izaak.
Are we seriously talking about this as a non-rigged competition? 2021 - Italy won (the first country in Europe where COVID ''outbreak'' started); 2022 - Ukraine (war started); 2023 - Sweden (50 years of ABBA + Sweden entered NATO; also, Finland was second - also entered NATO, what a coincidence that two best songs were from these two countries); 2024 - Switzerland - non-binary artist (should have been Israel but I guess they didn't dare to push it that far after all the protests and scandals from this year's Eurovision, so they went with a reserve winner).
I am not saying the winning songs were not good, but somehow always the most politically correct winners have the best (or better say, ''good enough'') songs in specific years.
Slovenia, Ukraine, Sweden were my picks.
oh well another year where I won’t be able to afford to go to the contest.
Is this the highest placement a country with the #2 starting position has ever gotten?
GOD SAVE THE JURY, putting israel where she should be
I'm proud of Croatia, ''juries'' really robbed him of a deserved win. Even France, Portugal, Ireland or Georgia were better than Switzerland which won the ''juries'' with a suspiciously high margin.
Please get over it, take that tin foil hat off. Juries vote for what they like, just how you did.
With love, he came THIRD with the jury- better than Finland last year. Switzerland is a masterpiece. The vocal- PERFECT. The staging-innovative. The song of paper is so challenging and Nemo delivered with ease
@@AlesiaMichelleWhile I appreciate Némo's talent, I don't see this song being big or memorable in years to come. Honestly think Baby Lasagna is the heart of this year's Eurovision.
Fair to feel that way ofc but time will tell, and to be really real. This result is not bad
@@sandrolucic2281 not memorable? Really???
I'm so done with the juries. 75/25 televote/juries all the way
I'd rather Israel win than "our betters" deciding everything for us dirty masses
And yet I agree with the juries more than the televotes almost always
@@RichardGambles I'm very happy for you. For those of us with more common tastes the past couple of years have been quite disheartening
@@renanthera2817 I would have been happy with a number of entries winning. Switzerland was just one of them. I think it is only disheartening if you treat the Eurovision as you have to Stan hard for just one song.
It's not really a jury problem. So long as Israel & Ukraine eat up the public vote with sympathy votes, the jury winner will win.
Thank you for your coverage during this difficult season Alesia 🫶🏻🫶🏻 you are truly a great community builder, hope to see the contest get it together next year
I hope so too!
