I can imagine Switzerland pressuring as the delegation and Nemo were vocal about the situation there and I can imagine they don‘t want a malmö mess and I can also imagine Spain and France as those countries became very pro Palestine. Ugh its such a bummer, I hope something changes and the netherlands participate SwissMonster®️ - Creating controversy since 1999 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwissMonster 28,779 Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 (edited) On the bright side, for me at least nnnn, my hometown is officially the first city to confirm their hosting bid! Basel will also not only apply with the St Jakobshalle but also with our Soccer Stadium with the plan to build a roof over it! Basel seems eager to host ESC 2025 and with that spirit it really could work out https://www.bzbasel.ch/basel/basel-stadt/eurovision-song-contest-fuer-nemo-will-soll-der-fcb-das-fussballstadion-raeumen-ld.2628235 Edited June 7 by SwissMonster SwissMonster®️ - Creating controversy since 1999 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is simply not fair system and it happens very often that public is ignored with their votes due to jury concetraring Many points around few songs. Every year they say that public is the one that decides the winner but it is very rear. Not gonna lie, maybe we should trust the public. Initially I liked Nemo's song better and it was one of the songs I voted for, but for some reason the croatian song grew on me after the end of the contest and I kinda like it more now?

SwissMonster 28,779 Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 (edited) Geneva, Basel, Zürich and Bern/Biel (joint bid) are the four cities officially biding for Eurovision 2025! Production costs are estimated at 40M€. Geneva goes in their bid with a support of 30M€, Zürich and Basel with 25M€ and Bern/Biel with 8M€ (7M from Bern and 1M from Biel). They will announce a shortlist of two cities by then end of july and will announce the host city at the end of August the latest. Basel also released a video for their bid! They focus on the cultural landscape of the city and their knowledge about big international events (such as Art Basel or the Euros 2008) but also the fact they are close to the border to france and germany.

DesertWolf 42,387 Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 idk who was the "genius" behind the "crossing borders" slogan the only ones crossing borders here are the illegitimate state with their genocide and the EBU with their lack of proper managment of the contest.

I think crossing borders is meant because of basels geographical point on the map nnnn. The city has direct borders to france and germany. But yeah given the circumstances issa bit yikes SwissMonster®️ - Creating controversy since 1999 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeshaErotica 1,418 Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 (edited) I don't think that Bern-Biel should get the ESC because in the past the residents of Kanton Bern voted against a continental airport and therefore voted against international events. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schweizerischer_Zentralflughafen_Utzenstorf Bern-Biel is too rural, not urban enough to host it. Whenever something big is to be built or to happen, they host a referendum and block such plans. They are ruled by peasants and I think it's unlikely they will make it. I don't like how Geneva is using its money to buy the ESC and having secret meetings behind closed doors with EBU ... Anything smaller than Basel is too small.

Also hate that Geneva is playing a little bit unfair here. And I also don‘t think Bern/Biel will get it simply for the fact that they offer by far the least money SwissMonster®️ - Creating controversy since 1999 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwissMonster 28,779 Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 (edited) The shortlist for the hostcity will be revealed on friday before noon! The final decision will be made tomorrow. There are rumors the shortlist will be Geneva and Zürich. Welp, personally still crossing my fingers for Basel. Guess Geneva really used that money factor to pull it off. And I am still left wondering how they gonna do it (if they make it)… the required hight needs to be 18m, palexpo is only 12m. A mistery to me that geneva is such a favorite with that big issue? https://esc-kompakt.de/eurovision-song-contest-2025-shortlist-der-moeglichen-schweizer-austragungsorte-kommt-am-freitag/amp/ Edited July 17 by SwissMonster SwissMonster®️ - Creating controversy since 1999 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 51km form Biel to Münchenstein Jakobshalle and 25km to Bern. It is possible to drive in half a day from Biel to Jakobshalle and back. It's just one hour longer to Basel than to Bern in one direction. Well, they say Geneva offered 30 million, the most of all....And it buys it like that maybe? I think the fact that Geneva is EBU headquarter perhaps also influences it... But they aren't gonna increase the height to 18m in just one year. However, Geneva can buy EBU rules to change the required height down to 12m. I also am of the opinion it should be Basel and Zürich in the shortlist. Basel is roughly equally urban as Geneva, both are roughly same size in feeling. There was already one ESC hosted in French-speaking Switzerland, in Lausanne in the past. Never in German-speaking Switzerland. And Geneva is very much at the periphery, a longer distance from the rest of Switzerland. By the way: hoch = high Höhe = height The hoch - Höhe Vocal change is also reflected in the high - height vocal change.
