Eurovision Song Contest Turin 2022

I love Eurovision. Something political things has been going on for the past few years. This year has been one of the weakest years I have watched, perhaps the weakest. First of all, the surprising thing is that every time the televote was more interesting and fair, this time the jurivote was fair. I love and support Ukraine very much, but it is ridiculous and unfair for them to win. What about other countries ?!. Why did you do the contest then? Would you give the award directly to Ukraine.... The song was good, but it shouldn't have won. Again, I love Ukraine very much, but it shouldn't be like this. Really Eurovision was excellent last year, this year it has dropped and lost interest. People's faith in this competition has decreased.

I am really sorry. 6 point for just good songs and performance for contest 4 or 3.

As an exercise, try making a video playlist equivalent for the 2022 songs that did not make it to the final. I found these to be as good as the songs that made the final. This year has a quality at the level of the Junior Eurovision of 2012.

I was happy that Ukraine won without the sympathy votes. Because I actually like the song and I knew that they would win anyway. I am so proud of the UK, Sam Ryder was amazing and so is his song. My favourite was Azerbaijan but I did like Spain and Sweden too. Well just need to wait a few months to see if they'll be able to host the next contest in Ukraine or not.

The political vote, in the case of the last decade of Eurovision editions is far to be a surprise. 2022 has only the sin to virtue to propose from the start the winner, the vote becoming a sort of polite gesture. Stefania is a beautiful song but this can be the problem - its virtues are not important and Ukraine was the chosen from the first second for seltimental - political reasons.

But , for some years, Eurovision is only a game of negotiations and political reasons , simpaties and antipaties, the music becoming only a very, very small detail or, in happy case, pretext for demonstrations of solidarity.

I appreciated Moldova and Serbia. But the final verdict is so expected than nothing matters.
