Switzerland’s Nemo is first nonbinary singer to win Eurovision Song Contest
A politically charged finale also saw Israel booed and the Dutch entrant expelled.
You're viewing a single thread.
Did Switzerland win because it was the best song or due to positive discrimination?
If it was because of political favours it would have either been Ukraine, Israel, Italy or Greece. (Maybe also the Netherlands if they were allowed to participate because their song (Europapa) would have gotten a lot of votes from european federalists)
We swiss are more neutral in europes perception. They don't hate us, but they also don't really love us. At least not as much as they love other Countries that are less.... "complicated"
That's not really the point I'm making.
I'm asking whether the song was best or whether countries were scared to look like they were "non-binary" phobic.
Edit: you can downvote all you want, I'm just asking a question and downvoting without an answer is in its own way an answer, because apparently no one is brave enough to say, "yes, it was by far the best song" 🤷🏼♂️
Ah yes.
No, Nemos performance was absolutely amazing. It wasn't any "wokeness" if that's what you're afraid of.
I mean, look at them balancing on the dish. That was just fucking amazing. Also the climbing. Truly amazing performance on their part.
Ok, that's what I was interested in thanks.
Nemo's vocal range was so impressive that the first time I heard the song I thought they were accompanied by an opera singer- nope, they were the opera.
Last year a transman participated for Serbia (Luke Black) and I don't think he got out of the semi-final, if that makes you feel better..
The popular vote was for Baby Lasagna (Croatia) but I think the jury tends to like solo acts and pop better than bands and metal/heavier rock. It was a big deal when Maneskin won a few years back.
I have no stake in this, I was just interested, don't worry about me needing to "feel better".
Thank you for your opinion.
Nah, the truth of the matter is that incorporating an amen break into the song instantly made it the winner. Genius move, really.
Yes is the best answer. They got a lot of votes from the Jury, because the song is musically one of the more impressive ones (subjective ofc). But, the audience also gets to vote, and can vote for whatever reason. Like: best song, nationalistic reasons, most catchy song?, identity reasons, Song of an artist that makes a statement. Similarly the jury is not immune to these thing so there is no such thing as a subjective vote for best song. So... Yes
