Junior Eurovision 2023

[D5K]

Why have France sent an actual song?

For me that was much better than the two they won with.

 

[D5K]

Why have Albania sent Creep by Radiohead?

 

[auretz]

I can only imagine the awkward silence whenever someone in Albania suggests *not* sending a wailing female to any Eurovision contest

 

[Kratz]

France is going to win again, right

 

[Ill Advised]

She had some good pipes on her

 

[D5K]

France is going to win again, right

Very likely, although their win last year was a surprise so I think the voting at junior can be a bit less predictable.

 

[auretz]

Only just realised Kazakhstan aren’t in it anymore, I guess they’d assumed they’d be allowed into the real one via this and gave up after they weren’t!

 

[Ill Advised]

I hate this

 

[D5K]

This Dutch one is apparently an "EDM banger"

 

[D5K]

I like the fact the French contest has an ashtag.

 

[Madíson]

UK, Armenia, France

 

[Madíson]

12 Armenia
10 France
08 Netherlands
07 Ukraine
06 United Kingdom
05 Albania
04 Georgia
03 North Macedonia
02 Estonia
01 I give up.

 

[Jacques]

My votes are for the UK, Ireland and Ukraine.

Realistically I think France is the best, but got to be a bit tactical to give our girls the best chance.

 

[D5K]

12 Netherlands
10 France
08 Albania
07 Ireland
06 Spain
05 United Kingdom
04 Ukraine
03 Germany
02 Armenia
01 Estonia

 

[D5K]

(but I agree I'm not sure I want to vote for France to win again)

 

[auretz]

UK, Netherlands and Macedonia for me, but I also quite liked Armenia.

 

[Madíson]

Any child that voted for this last year should be punished. Losing some fingers would be proportionate.

 

[Kratz]

UK, Armenia, France

Agreed. Those three are the best.

 

[Madíson]

Agreed. Those three are the best.

Oh, those were just my votes. I’d ditch the UK for the Dutch EDM.

 

[auretz]

I guess the new voting system makes it almost impossible that anyone will outdo the 1 point total Croatia’s disaster in 2014 received

 

[D5K]

I guess the new voting system makes it almost impossible that anyone will outdo the 1 point total Croatia’s disaster in 2014 received

I thought they all started on 12?

 

[auretz]

I thought they all started on 12?

They do, but I think even a child understands that doesn’t mean anything

 

[Madíson]

Those two tall dancers are phenomenal.

 

[Ill Advised]

I went Spain, UK and Netherlands

 

[Ill Advised]

Amir looks a lot hotter

 

[Kratz]

The Maltese entrant! Did the kid get sick and they sent her mum out instead?

 

[Madíson]

What an odd (but delightful) choice for a song.

(The first one, not Maria Carry).

 

[Madíson]

It’s so sad Michael Jackson didn’t live long enough to see this. He’d have loved it.

 

[Madíson]

FRAAAAANCE

 

[D5K]

Ireland robbed so far.

 

[Kratz]

UK doing so well!

 

[Ill Advised]

Very shocked nothing for Ireland so far

 

[Pingu]

I’ve tuned in for the voting only to discover the French girl looks really disturbingly like @Rowan Tree 🌳

 

[D5K]

Some of these points are wild

 

[Madíson]

Are the online votes based on raw totals, or weighted per country?

 

[Madíson]

No one’s had 100 yet. The winner must be massive.

 

[D5K]

Are the online votes based on raw totals, or weighted per country?

I don't think it's weighted and the Spanish Eurofans came out in force.

 

[Ill Advised]

What’s this fucking delay??

 

[auretz]

Are the online votes based on raw totals, or weighted per country?

Raw totals, non-participating countries can vote (170-odd did according to Martin)

 

[D5K]

This is the first time ever at Junior that the act performing first has finished top 3.
