And indeed it's meant as a kind of ironic answer to Eurovision. This time with real human musicians, not necessarily and like 100% of the time not sponsored by the record industry or battling super producers.
Often but not necessarily be done among amateurs or semi amateurs, always 100% dedicated to their own music. And it's happening here, within the #Fediverse. There is a voting system to find a winner. However anyone taking part is already a recognized as a winner.
That should give you an idea. I'm not associated with the organizers, I'm just one of the participants. I hope I explained this right, else I'd ask @futzle to correct me, or getting more into detail - as she is one of the main figures of this positive movement.
You see, #Eurovision was a shitshow this year because of the inclusion of a genocidal state in the contest, but I think we can say #Nemo did deserve his victory. Not only does his act sound amazing but the message behind it is powerful and of utmost necessity currently. https://youtu.be/0JqxpaJot2E
The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) issued a statement to the press on Monday, saying they “regret that some delegations at the #Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) in Malmö didn’t respect the spirit of the rules and the competition both onsite and during their broadcasts.” This release does not appear on the Eurovision or EBU web sites.
“Some delegations.” “Spirit of the rules.” Suuuuuure.
The statement continues: “the EBU’s governing bodies will, together with the heads of delegations, review the events surrounding the ESC in Malmö to move forward in a positive way and to ensure the values of the event are respected by everyone.
“Individual cases will be discussed by the event’s governing body, the #Eurovision Song Contest Reference Group made up of representatives from participating broadcasters, at its next meeting.”
Place your bets as to whether KAN faces ANY consequences.
For anyone keeping score, the EBU has so far received reports of incidents at #Eurovision from The Netherlands, Ireland, the UK, Portugal, Slovenia and Switzerland. A number of broadcasters and artists have so far made statements, including Norway, Lithuania, Poland, Ukraine, Spain, Croatia, France and Italy.
That’s 14 participating countries out of a possible 37, including four of the “big 5” countries. The EBU has work to do, which we can so far assume they’ll just sweep under the rug.
Ein Regierungsratspräsident eines grossen Kantons behauptet einfach mal dass eine Organisation eines Musikwettbewerbs korrupt ist...ohne auch irgendeinen Beweis für diese absolute Fake News zu liefern.
@adfichter Da frage ich mich ernsthaft, ob diese Person als Regierungsratspräsident nicht eigentlich wichtigere Themen zu behandeln hätte :neocat_googly_woozy:
Elle a osé le dire: Ségolène Royal fustige la "laideur, la vulgarité, la grossièreté, et l'exhibitionnisme" de l'Eurovision "sanctionné par la loi" (?) mais "diffusé à des millions d'enfants", selon l'ex-candidate PS à la présidentielle, qui sous-entend un amalgame digne de l'extrême-droite. Venant de quelqu'un qui cachetonne chez Hanouna...
@paul_denton une casserole de plus pour elle... au fait il était pas question qu'elle aille bosser à TPMP ou un un truc du genre? Cette réactionnaire s'assume de plus en plus
Guardian reports #Eurovision lost almost a quarter of viewership in the UK this year compared to last. But note last year's show was organized in Liverpool, by the BBC.
Anyway, I'd love to see viewing figures in other countries as well; this should help prove the theory that #Israel got more points from the public thanks to other people boycotting it 🙃
@kexe@Flaky which is weird because the rules apparently states that the audience is allowed to wave the "current artists" national flag and the rainbow flag. I guess somebody only knows the old rainbow flag and nothing else?
@jess EU #Eurovision fans can avoid withdrawal by joining the #EuropeanElections fandom. 26 days to go, 27 countries, lots of far-right villains to defeat, 6 to 9 of June you get to give 0 points to fash trash, and LOADS of #eurodrama
