Despite Eurovision’s denials, an analysis reveals that the broadcast silenced crowd discontent during Israeli singer Eden Golan’s performance.
I’ve heard that it’s because their selection process is dumb and dominated by a handful of out of touch “experts” and the public only votes in the finals.
That’s basically it.
A famous example was a few years back when Electric Callboy wasn’t even invited to the national finals for selecting the song because the selection committee knew they would win but “didn’t feel the song was fit for radio”
The song in question, it would’ve been glorious.
They don’t want to win because then they would be on the hook for hosting the event.
There is also a satirical song about Germany always getting 0 points
