Max 21,675 Posted Sunday at 01:40 PM Share Posted Sunday at 01:40 PM (edited) Interested cities as of now: Wels, Innsbruck, Oberwart, Graz and Vienna.

AyeshaErotica 1,640 Posted Sunday at 01:52 PM Share Posted Sunday at 01:52 PM (edited) The topic should say "in Vienna". Vienna is the absolute primate city of Austria, at 2,0 million inhabitants, having more inhabitants than all of Austria's 25 next-largest cities combined. All power, history, music, culture, business, shows, arts, entertainment is centered on Vienna and other cities are third-class cities compared to Vienna. There is only like a 1% chance it will be hosted in another city. They have almost zero chance to win against Vienna. Austria is not dezentralized as Switzerland is.

Dutch 90,615 Posted Sunday at 02:13 PM Author Share Posted Sunday at 02:13 PM (edited) We’ve had Tel Aviv, Rotterdam, Turin, Liverpool, Malmö and Basel. I don’t think Vienna will be a sure lock at all. They hosted it not that long ago. Edited Sunday at 02:13 PM by Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
River 113,839 Posted Sunday at 02:17 PM Share Posted Sunday at 02:17 PM 55 minutes ago, Dutch said: They actually banned Russia only because other broadcasters were withdrawing if they stayed in. EBU never had a spine. Broadcasters NEED todo the same again. Enough is enough. to be fair, Russia censored LGBTQ+ content from the Eurovision so I don't want them back regardless of the reason why they were banned in the first place.

I don’t think Vienna will be a sure lock at all. They hosted it not that long ago. The countries you mentioned are less hypercentralized than Austria except for the UK. Vienna hosted it already 2x, exactly because it is Vienna and it can a 3rd time. The ratio Jerusalem-Tel Aviv is 1:2. Jerusalem is not a primate city. Rotterdam is part of the Rotterdam-The Hague urban area and the Rotterdam-The Hague urban area is as populous as is the urban area of Amsterdam, also Rotterdam is only 45-50km away from the largest airport of the NL. Rotterdam is not a third-class city within NL but one of the 3 major big cities, perhaps 4 if we count Utrecht. Italy is a dezentralized country with Milan, Rome, Torino and Neapel being the 4 main centers and Rome not a primate city, as Milan is the financial centre and Torino has about 1 million inhabitants with important national function. The ratio Stockholm-Malmö is 1:3. Malmö has lots of music academies. Also Malmö is connected via bridge to Copenhaguen, the capital of Danmark with has 600,000 inhabitants, only 30km away. There is a major airport aorund Copenhague. Switzerland is a dezentralized country. The 3 main centres are Zürich, Basel and Geneva and seat of government is Bern. The ratio Zürich-Basel is about 1:2. The urban area of Basel extends to France and Germany. And Basel is the major arts centre of Switzerland. Basel is more internationally acknowledged than Innsbruck/Graz. Düsseldorf is part and in the centre of the Rhein-Ruhr metropolitan area, which at 10 milliion inhbaitants, is larger than Berlin. Liverpool so far is an example within a very hypercentralized country and rather unusual and perhaps the one and only example of a city in the very shadows of a primate city in the 21st century of the ESC. Liverpool city has 0,5 million inhabitants and Liverpool City region has 1,5 milliion inhabitants on 903km². (The area is similair to the area of Berlin). It is 52km away from Manchester. So Liverpool's greater area isn't small. According to Wikipedia Liverpool airport has 5 milliion passengers, while Manchester, which is 52 km away, has 30 milliion passengers per year. So Liverpool's airport infrastructure and number of hotels is still much better than is Graz and Innsbruck. So if we compare Liverpool's 5 milliion airport passanger's to Graz 0,7 million passengers.... @StrawberryBlond aren't you going to a Gaga concert to Manchester? Wouldn't you say Liverppool and Manchester are somehow well connected with each other? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_busiest_airports_in_the_United_Kingdom https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liverpool_City_Region The ratio Vienna-Graz is 1:6. The ratio Vienna-Innsbruck is 1:14. Let's face it. Innsbruck and Graz are periphery cities in the Alps or at the edge of the Alps, and their whole regions have rather low population density. They do not offer as good infrastructure and hotel rooms as Vienna does. For such a big event as the ESC, I don't think any city other than Vienna will make it. For us fans, Vienna will also be a better choice. Edited Sunday at 02:54 PM by AyeshaErotica I'm looking gorgeous tonight Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though Graz & Innsbruck can host it as they have the capacity for it and the infrastructure.

rocketn9 442 Posted Sunday at 03:09 PM Share Posted Sunday at 03:09 PM Austria had a great song but this whole competition has been rigged af since years ago.I stopped watching/following the competition, after they banned pride flags while still letting certain countries competiting.Imagine having a predominantly queer audience and contestants ,just to ban pride flags. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Walrus 75 Posted Sunday at 04:45 PM Share Posted Sunday at 04:45 PM Results this year were a bit weird. JJ was good, but he came 4th in the Televote and got carried by the jury Then we have Israel that definitely seems fishy. How can they come nr 1 with the most bland song and a hate train behind you. Estonia and Sweden are the real winners. I am the walrus, goo-goo g'joob 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh don’t get me wrong, I think Russia should’ve been out much earlier. I’m just point out that the EBU gives 0 **** about morals. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
