My Mum heard it on the radio and said "There's no oomph to it", and I think that's the best description I've heard I'm hoping for more press release about Eurovison here now that we have our candidate, I can keep an eye out for any magazines/papers that mention Mika! I didn't know that Ukraine were entering, I'm glad they are and I hope they do well! 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might do really well just on the sympathy vote. 15 minutes ago, TinyLove_CJ said: I didn't know that Ukraine were entering, I'm glad they are and I hope they do well! 🙂 I think all of Europe is behind Ukraine in the current situation. I also believe that they will get many sympathetic votes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver Posted March 10, 2022 Author Share Posted March 10, 2022 I think there are about 40 entries altogether so there are a lot of songs we haven't heard yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, they are all men of compulsory service age, they will probably not be allowed to leave their country, unless they were already abroad, of course. Then they would probably have to participate from Ukraine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krysady Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 14 hours ago, silver said: Moldova I don't know what to say about this This one is in Romanian language, the official language in Moldova, and it's about Moldova being actually a part of our country as it was in the past, before Russia took it from us. Many people here and in Moldova plead for a union for many years. The lyrics talks about the irony of having a border between us and other inside jokes, it's funny but probably won't get too far. This band represented Moldova at Eurovision in 2005 and they went on the place 6th in the finale with this song, also a funny one: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaureenG Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 How are the Eurovision 2022 - national entries judged? This is my first time seeing this. I would appreciate somebody explaining how everything is judged with these video entries.❤️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Romania would be the votes from 5 judges and the tele-votes from the public, the tele-votes being counted as the equivalent of the sixth judge.

I would appreciate somebody explaining how everything is judged with these video entries.❤️ Quite a lot of countries choose their song from a selection of songs performed by artists on a live show, so as @krysadysays, there can be judges, votes from viewers or a mixture of both. In the UK we have no say in the song or the artist, the TV company chooses the entry. For the actual contest final, the artists perform live, and there is a professional jury vote (each country's jurors are usually musicians, people from radio/record companies etc) and a viewers' vote. The voting can get exciting, especially with the viewer votes, but goes on for hours. Some years ago as the number of partcipating countries increased, they introduced two semi-final stages, so only the top 10 songs from each go forward to the final. Sadly there can be a lot of political voting (eg Greece won't vote for Turkey and vice versa). The videos are just normal promotional videos so the production and and performance will differ from the live performances. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
