I’m wondering if this song is about love? Amaia y Alfred, is this love? I'm cringing with you You had a discussion about how unfair it is that some great songs don't make it to the final when one semi-final is stronger than the other one. I think this is a bigger issue, how five countries can send anything and still be in the final instead of someone else. If they had to qualify like the rest of us 12 or 13 countries could've qualified from each semi instead. Lose control. Let go and fall. Do you get the satisfaction?

I think if they weren't going direct to the final, the final would've only 21 countries anyways. I think there will always go only 10 countries from each semi-final, to the final + the winner from last year + the big 5. So if you delete the big 5, you only have 21 countries in the final. I mean when Italy came back they added a extra spot for the final. So they are not really stealing a spot from the semi-finals if you think about it this way. I'm still rooting for one or two wildcards tho. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we'll never find out When Italy came back one other option was to continue with the Big 4 and let Spain join the semi-finals, as they apparently pay the least out of those five, but I guess they didn't want to mess with the Spanish people Lose control.

Monsterish 5,520 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Big 5 is not fair, simple as that All the countries should compete for a spot in the final Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellatrix 34,811 Posted May 4, 2018 Author Share Posted May 4, 2018 Italy isn't impressing either sadly. I still believe they made the wrong decision. I was rooting for Nina Zilli to come back.

hausofcy 20,325 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I like tu cancion but it’s cringey on a new level. Europe’s gonna eat this up tho I like how unpredictable this year’s winner will be. At this point I can see like at least 5 countries as possible winners. Israel has the favorite status but I wouldn’t count out France, czech, estonia, bulgaria and Cyprus emerging as possible winners. It’s gonna be exciting Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
