ESC Stats

Argentina is to Fifa in the #WorldCup, as Israel is to EBU at #Eurovision. Both are allowed to do whatever they want, even if they break all the rules while doing it. 🙃

I would actually burst into laughter if the late 0-2 curse would continue again although the chances are very slim #FRAMOR

"Group G is def the weakest in this World Cup!" Are y'all still so sure about that??

Norway's strategy to lose with their B team to France, so they end up on the easier half of the draw and France has to take on multiple great teams 🙂 #NORFRA

@ka_morian0121 Not them spoiling the wildcard themselves (color between Akeria and Crystal, name isn't shown) 😭

"Idk if April is a sister" - Salina. Guess who gave her 2 points in the previous episodes while tres leches alliance is about 3 people, so one person was left out this whole time. April and Vivacious were the only people actually honouring their promises. #AllStars11 #DragRace

Now the votes collected OUTSIDE the allocation pot for semi 2. 🇨🇭 rising to 8th (!) in tele, still losing to 🇨🇾 with 2 pts. 🇨🇾 got helped a lot by their pots compared to 🇨🇭. The "nordics" and "balkan" pots voted heavily, while "caucasian" did not seem to care #Eurovision

How many points did each country get OUTSIDE of their allocated voting pot? No big changes, except 🇵🇹 Q in televote instead of 🇲🇪. 🇫🇮🇷🇸🇮🇱 most helped by pot in absolute points, while 🇲🇪🇪🇪🇷🇸 had biggest 3 shares compared to their actual results from their pots. #Eurovision

Looking back people were asking what went wrong with Montenegro during the ROTW recap, but then when the juries think the same thing the juries robbed her?

Just relistend to asteromata and damn the downgrade that Greece had this year for me...

@MikeK_ESC It feels like the same thing happens as in The Netherlands, many great artists and songs are submitted each year and then Avrotros picks to most safe jury song (except Joost).

Belgium, and Belgian artists can produce some seriously good music. Most of those don't get submitted to RTBF & VRT. And when they do, the best songs don't always get chosen because of other factors. Taste, and liking the presentation of staging idea's are always subjective.

@LordeGhost24 And it's RTBFs fault by choosing DOTI 😶

ESSYLA I HATED ON U ALL SEASON FOR YOU TWO ACTUALLY SERVE THIS MASTERPIECE WHATTTT?

Now I wonder what songs get submitted to RTBF and VRT each year and why their main priority is picking the most paint by numbers dark English pop song. I just feel like we have missed out on probably a lot of great songs throughout the years.

It's interesting that rtbf chose DOTI considering Essyla said she liked singing ballads more AND is not a dancer. We also would've finally had a song in one of our native languages. Maybe the first part of the song was really mid idk, but you could stage that ending really well.

Essyla released a snippet of the demo of the second song which was not chosen to represent Belgium at #Eurovision called 'Regardez-moi". Do you think RTBF made the right call or not between both songs?

So how were the charts for the amazing, record-breaking Western European televote winners in 2024-2026?

Essyla was naked when she met Bandidos do Cante for the first time??? 😭😭😭

@Wysteria00 But now they're joined by 2 other friends lol

@escstats_be 🇦🇹🇩🇪 0 with the old system in Vienna. Where have I seen that scenario before

The final under the old voting system would been one with highs (literally Bulgaria demolishing the rest) and lows (4 countries with 0 points, only UK not getting even close to 1 point).

@nbhd98769671 Would've also had the same Q

@escstats_be what about the first

The second semi would also have had the same Q using the old combined voting system.
