It’s not funny anymore
I don’t receive anything on my youtube channel personally. And some people here are complaining about the fact they’re receiving news about Destiny on their Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. I’ve never seen a single YT video being promoted on an ad with those social medias since I’ve started using them. If those people are receiving those kind of news, isn’t it because they subscribed to Destiny’s channel or the official ESC one ?
That’s just my opinion, people. Take into consideration that we’re not all living in the same country, and even continent. In mine we don’t have ads promoting specific YT music video. It was the case 10 years ago with VEVO, when it was promoting the mv of such American big stars like Madonna, Britney, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry or Nicki Minaj but not anymore now — at least for me, idk about y’all.
I’m subscribed to ESC official channel of course, but shouldn’t I receive pubblicity for every country? Why only Malta?
And Youtube is ridiculous counting an add as a view. Without that Mlata would have something like 2M views instead of 5M, falsing the odds and creating fake hype, manipulating the odds and then the running order and all the sheeps jumping on it already ready to send their SMS on D day when they wouldn’t pay any attention on it normally like theu do for Slovenia.
Sounds like you’re from Slovenia since you’ve mentionned the country a lot of times when you’re criticizing Malta.
I don’t understand that ad/view system tbh, cause it’s not happening in my country. Can someone explain it to me ?
And Malta was first in the odds before getting 1M views with the mv of Je Me Casse. So your ‘they manipulated the views to then faking the odds’ comment can’t be accurate, Doris.
And the running order is decided by the Dutch television, I honestly can’t see it being manipulated by the broadcaster of such a small country like Malta tbh.
And above all on the YT views, if they were that influent on the odds, why Russia, Ukraine or Serbia aren’t that high in the odds ? Tell me your thoughts on it, Doris.
You’re receiving news about Malta from the ESC channel ? And just about Malta ?
Oh yeah, publicity. Then I don’t have any answer to give you. I don’t receive ads of that kind on my channel.
Yes, that’s the problem. Official Eurovisio channel promotes all the entries, some more some less… but receiving an ad with “vote for Destiny” even “wiki math” is a bit annoying
Are we dealing with the same Official ESC channel ? Cause I don’t see any specific promotional ads about Malta on it.
https://youtube.com/c/EurovisionSongContest
The ads are in Non Eurovision-related sites. Destiny’s pubblicity only appears as youtube’s pubblicity! I am not blaming the official channel for that…
But for example, yestarday I was searching for a mathematics topic in the Internet and announces with “vote for Destiny” appeared everywhere.
Oh ok, I thought you were reproaching to the ESC YT channel to promote ads about Malta.
What non-Eurovision sites in particular ? Cause it could have also happened to those I’m consulting — like Wiwibloggs — but I didn’t notice any ads about Malta tbh. But I trust you if you’re reporting that. You’re not the only one with the same case. A few people here noticed that.
*reproaching that it was promoting ads about Malta
France doing well in OGAE poll and INFE poll but doing so poorly in Eurojury where it’s not the fans who vote but more professionals singers, I’m sad and afraid for Barbara….
How does ir work with Eurojury? If they select the winner, is the winner going to get that 50% score on a bug day? Or is it a separate competition?
No, it’s separate but it can give indications, they have predicted the victory of Netta and Duncan.
The results of eurojury is the reason why Barbara is in red in the odds, so I’m afraid, France in general is not very liked by the others countries, they are appreciated only by the pure fans, and here the proof again, it’s sad.
Is Malta already buying the eurojuries too ?
I think they already spent all their money on pubblicity for Destiny.
True but it shouldn’t…
Where can we find the partial results of Eurojury?
On twitter 😉
Thank you 🙂
It looks like Switzerland and Italy doing the best on there so far. I do like that the poll has much more mixed voting than the top 10 OGAE votes. Keeping my fingers crossed for France, love that song.
Would also just say that some of the more favourite songs this year such as Lithuania, Greece and San Marino are not doing very well at all on that poll, in fact i think San Marino only has points from one country so far but countries with zero points in the OGAE poll like UK and Portugal are doing quite well on there.
Obviously, Eurojury results are much more realistic than Ogae ones, but still they usually understimate songs like Voilà or Amar Pelos Dois. In 2017 They ranked Portugal and Bulgaria 5th and 6th respectively, while Gabbani won by a landsliade so I am just a bit worried for Barbara, but not too much 🙂
Thanks to be reassuring but….I’m worried too 🙁
We have to wait for the live performances, I really hope in a Sobral’s effect. The Roop and Victoria never stood a chance for me (even though Victoria is in my top 3). I still think Gjon, Barbara and Destiny are the main contenders for the win with Måneskin and Dadi as big dark horses.
Just hope it won’t be Destiny, unless she really upgrades her song with her amazing live skills
She can and she will I think.
Switzerland is going to win I think at this point and with or without a great staging, everybody seems to love his song, and he tops all the polls….Ogae Infe Eurojury by very big margins….. so we have to be realistic he is on the way of Netta and Duncan
So definetely a very good sign for him even if he is not among my favourites ….
And like that the France’s haters will be happy and very satisfied.
Until overhyped Malta with their aggressive marketing and manipulations doesn’t win then it’s good.
What manipulations? But anyway I think it’s done, it will be between Switzerland and Malta at the end, for the others “favourites” Dadi, Barbara, Maneskin, Victoria, the Roop, I’m sad but we have to be realistic.
Having something like 3M fake Youtube views isn’t a manipulation ?
No the number of views is not something that is determining for the odds for example, so each country can do what they want to promote their songs, to make known their singers and to have many views it won’t affect the final result of the contest.
Your hate comments towards Malta are non stop. For god’s sake stop it…just make sure that when it’s Destiny’s turn to sing, just switch channel and that‘s it.
Yeah Switzerland not one of my favourites either but i think unless they mess up the staging big time or the live vocals are off its looking like a likely winner this year. Personally i would love to see France pick up the win but i just dont see it happening.
Yeah I have the same thoughts as you and it makes me a little bit sad, since few days I’m losing the big hopes I had.
We don’t know which version the “jurors” are watching. The music video doesn’t have the same appeal as the live performance, which is magical! Besides some countries have only 1 juror..
1 juror ? How is it possible ?
On the Eurojury yes, like Andorra for example. It doesn’t obey the actual Eurovision rules.
Sweden 7th??? xD what a joke… Always overated… I hope Italy or Swisserland wins…if not France or Lithuania!
Italy, are not gonna winn. Thats a bog joke. Sweden nr 7, its should be in top 3
I don’t think Sweden will be overrated. I don’t particularly like the song but it’ll appeal to the general audience and juries. Don’t be surprised if it places top 5!
Maybe! Nothing against him…i just think the song lacks in all departments…
I think a place between 13-17 would be suitable, in my opinion…
So is this really a 3 horse race this year?
Don’t count out Italy, Iceland and Russia
And don’t forget about Lithuania.
To me, it feels like the most open race in years. I’m really not sure Europe is craving for sad songs like ‘Voila’ and ‘Tout l’Univers’ after two years of lockdown. Also, ‘Tout l’Univers’ might be a tad too similar to ‘Arcade’. And the last time sticking to the previous year’s winning formula actually worked was in 2005.
Equally I’m not fully convinced of ‘Je me casse’. It’s good, yes, but is it really much better than the songs you’ve mentioned? I’m having my doubts.
Iceland? You don’t really expect them to win with that song, do you?
There’s another poll too called eurojury with participants of jesc or esc as jurors for each countries, and the competition is even rougher than in the ogae poll….. France giving their top points to Switzerland and Malta but Switzerland not giving A single point to France (as usual) for example, let the fairplay begin!
I’m not saying they are obliged to give points to each others but it seems that Switzerland knows who are their main competitors it’s blatant. Fortunately all the countries don’t do that.
I’m not saying France is an example of fairplay but in that particular case, yes they are.
Out of all trash Italy France and Ukraine gets my votes
Out of trash Italy, france and Ukraine gets ny votes
East Europe vote for eadt Europe
With 16 or so Ogae votes in, it’s notable how consistent the choices are: same core of countries getting the votes every time….I think these are gonna be top six..with perhaps Italy and Finland being undervalued by the ogae base.
Completely agree re Finland. Think it will really stand out compared to everything else
Totally agree about Finland and Italy. Hope both get good results.
Is anyone getting bored yet of the over-promotion of certain songs in this year’s contest?
It’s not suspicious anymore. Statistically Malta’s YouTube views are not legitimate with 99.99994% certainty.
My only view was for a dislike.
Malta did the exact same with Chameleon in 2019… the song was literally on my YouTube adverts!
You’d think they’d spend this money on…I don’t know…a better song instead.
Let’s discuss the bias of Czechia’s popular vote towards Azerbaijan. There’s no such big Azeri diaspora (compared to Ukrainian and Russian), but they receive 7-12 points from the Czech televoting every year. I got a theory but want to listen to others.
Same case for Armenia.
As a Czech person, I think the only factor is that we LOVE ethnic sound in music, and Armenia and Azerbaijan are bringing that every year!!
My theory is that average Czech viewer goes – “Well, Slovakia isn’t competing. Germany or Austria? Ew, no. Poland? Nah. Any EU member? Heck no! Wait! There’s Azerbaijan! Sure, why not.”
Guess it’s for the same reasons the Maltese always ‘loved’ every Azerbaijani entry a few years ago until the twelves stopped all of sudden.
Am I the only one who always receives Destiny’s pubblicity on youtube or in ads on the Internet? I’m getting a bit tired honestly
Lol
I have an ad blocker on each of the browsers I use, so I don’t really worry about it. They did the same stunt for Michela 2 years ago and it kind of backfired – Malta ended up in the bottom 5 with the public
Always a fan fail every year remember this….
The fan fail this year will either be Ukraine or Cyprus.
?? Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz ?? Zzzzzz Zzzzzz
Weirdly we don’t have the joy to have your childish reactions when Sweden got more points than they got here….
