So what’t the deal with all that Eurovision nonsense and why are Finns so salty about it this year?
Eurovision (ESC, Eurovision Song Contest) is an annual song contest organized by the European Broadcasting Union, an alliance of national broadcasting companies such as BBC, or Yle here in Finland. Sort of like Eurocup but for songs.
(Europe is a fairly broad concept here tho, with countries like Israel and Australia taking part.)
(Please don’t ask about Australia)
Anyway, each country taking part picks an original (meaning it has to be made for the contest) song in any way they see fit, and sends in a representative to perform it. Some countries (UK, Spain, Italy, Germany, and France) get a guaranteed spot in the grand final, but the rest of us peasants have to go through semi-finals to get in.
In the semi-finals, audience gets to pick the entries moving on to the grand final, but in the grand final the winner is chosen by the public votes and by national professional juries, 50/50%.
(I think there used to be juries in the semi-finals too, but this year it was just public votes)
(You can’t vote for your own country, and you can only vote in the semi-final your country is in)
This has always been a contended point, ever since the juries were introduced in 2007 or so, because the public votes and jury votes very often go to very different acts.
Now, why are Finns so salty this year?
It’s pretty much because of the voting system - our entry won the public vote but not the jury vote, and ended up in second place, losing Sweden.
In salty summary:
Finland won the public vote but lost to juries
We lost to Sweden of all countries
Which is extra bad, because
”Losing is fine as long as we beat Sweden”
We never beat Sweden in Eurovision
No seriously, Sweden has won the whole thing like seven times
Their representative this year alone has won it twice!!!
Finland has won once
And our next best placement before this year was like seventh place
And we came so close this year
So close!!!
We would’ve gotten away with it too, if it wasn’t for those meddling professional juries
So yeah.
Finland is basically in mourning. Well get over it eventually.
(Or not)
(Probably not)
