@BumbacComeback Their comment in December generally was along the lines of 'we're happy there's no politicisation now', so the short answer is I don't think they care

@skyginge Yeah exactly. That is a violation, even with the previous code of conduct. And it's just strange we haven't yet got a comments from the EBU. I've only seen one journalist asked the EBU with only a response to forward the questions to ORF (quite not a worthy response). 🫢
English
You should e-mail your national Eurovision journalists about ORF and KAN's violence of the code of conduct when their heads met with the Israeli president.
The more of you who do so, the more pressure and demand for a response from the EBU we will push for.
Let's do it! ✌️

i love strobe lights he definetely should have qualified but she had a locked top 10 place last year

This is the DM YouTube sent me. I want to say I truly appreciate everything everyone did for me, but it looks like I'm not going to get this resolved. I won't forget what you did to try to help get my channel back. Seriously, just thank you so much. Best 10 years of my life.

@iheartguts_ I don't see the jury giving Israel enough to beat Finland and probably Greece/Sweden, especially as Israel shouldn't have disproportionate government-funded ads this time
English
@hirosafir_ I love this song but it reminds me of my ex as we started dating that spring
English
i’m convinced that the people who hate this song are allergic to happiness
English
@Samissmitten In a weak year it's a highlight for me, but I can understand how someone might not like it, it's not that wild of a take
English
@BumbacComeback Without Spain and the Netherlands the viewer number was always going to take a big hit
English
It's pretty clear that ORF and EBU are struggling with finding their top names on their Eurovision artists wish list
Names like Conchita Wurst hurt the most for them to not get to the big bang 70th anniversary
I fear a viewing figure drop to ~140 m and EBU can only blame itself
English
@ryannxescc @BolzLaggan You say that but the closing song regularly underperformed even when the voting window was after the songs (i.e. Ireland 2013, UK 2014, Spain 2019)
English
@BolzLaggan voting use to open after every song performed, and at that time closing had a much bigger advantage. now, voting opens at the beginning of the show. this mean the effect of closing is more neutral, or even negative considering many people may have already voted by the time you go
English
idk why everyone’s immediate reaction is to say that this is rigged for austria… i feel like them closing isn’t gonna be good for them, and austria literally closed 2 years ago with a much better song and flopped

🇦🇹 Eurovision 2026 hosts Austria have been drawn to perform 25th in the final, closing the show. The draw was done by Auri, a "new face for Vienna 2026". [🎥 eurovision]
English
@SchlagerKaty Think it's more heading for a similar score to Iceland last year, with around 30-40 from the televote but not very much from the juries
English
“Eins, Zwei, Drei” quite bangs ngl. But in terms of result, it can go from “Espresso Macchiato” to “Moustache” really… #Eurovision
English
@JeMappellePercy I don't think Austria is getting double zeroed but I do think it's likely our last place unfortunately
I'd love a Czech win and I think it could win the jury vote but I think the televote is going to be a challenge for it
English
Main thing I agree with: Austria getting the double zero (sadly!).
Main thing I disagree with: Czechia being outside the top ten. I just get a feeling it’s going to be their best result (even a dark horse to win).

Here's the full breakdown of The Model's first projection. There will be weekly updates that change as the race to Vienna continues - meaning that in seven days, a new song could top The Model's scoreboard. I think we'll see a lot of change - this #Eurovision is unpredictable.
English
@LikeATattoooooo It was wrong about an awful lot in ESC week both years. It's a reflection of various data pumped into a model with a dash of personal opinion, not a definitive oracle
English
I find this extremely hard to believe. Televote is always terrible for electro pop, and a more EDM number like this? I just can’t see it. Juries are going to be interesting given the changes though, less predictable than usual.

🚨🇸🇪 BREAKING: The Model's first forecast of #Eurovision2026 is in - and Sweden is in the lead. The system projects that 'My System' by Felicia would win the Contest if it was held today - but with 407 points, and up to seven other nations in the race. escinsight.com/2026/03/16/the…
English
@Bensvision The language you used however implied that you see it as authoritative ('the model is correct'). We need to be very careful about how we talk about it because thanks to its definitive name newer fans treat it as an authority when it has not been that
English
@skyginge Yes absolutely it is going to develop as more data feeds into it. Definitely not defending it as anything more valuable than other fan predictions, but good fun and talking points nevertheless.
English
1) The Model is correct in that, if everyone this year doesn’t deliver, Sweden stutters to a narrow victory
2) We need more data to make this more spread out as it will be. Moldova’s huge incoming televote an example of.
3) Yes, the City of Stockholm Finance Minister is aware

@IPilipchuk87005 Ukraine will be up there too given it's a song that really resonates with the diaspora
English
As much as I love My System, general public is usually not welcoming eurodance.
Greece, Finland, Denmark, Moldova, maybe France (I said what I said) and one more country (you know which one) are only contenders for 150+ public points.

I genuinely think ferto isnt even a contender for televote winner SHE is the most likely right now

@taylorwthelays People are smooth-brained about odds every year, egged on by certain sites/resources that over-emphasise their relevance

@Fergus_Gav @nicklyons96 According to wiki that's exactly what happened yes

@BarbaraYetaxa I'm going to go with the obvious choice of episode 12 so we can see how good Sara's death is
English
Fun game: if we could be greedy and have back another missing episode from the Daleks Masterplan, which one would you choose? I’m gonna go out on a limb and say Volcano so we could see more of the meddling monk

I can't believe it... I'm gonna cry

@ryannxescc I can normally tell through bad sound mixing, they were just straight up much more in tune in the final, really only one weak note near the end and nothing a jury would mark them down for.
English
@skyginge yeah they were much stronger in the final! i think it might’ve been partially sound mixing issues on dora’s part, which won’t be a problem at eurovision
English
new ryannxescc prediction just dropped‼️‼️ i haven’t seen a lot of people thinking georgia will nq but i just have a feeling they’re in danger
