    The language in the Netherlands’ song is called Sranantongo. The language was banned by the Netherlands during colonial times because slaves used it to communicate with each other. It’s incredibly powerful that a song about slavery, sung in a language forbidden by colonizers is now representing set country without being censored.

      If it has very few votes but still made it into a country’s top 10 televote, then everything else must have got VERY few votes. 🤣🤣 Please just stop trying to justify poor scores. We know it doesn’t literally mean 0 votes because that is virtually impossible with hundred of millions of viewers. Did you just realise this or something?

      Or that if in televoting, 38 countries give you 11th place (no points) vs 1 country giving you 10th place (1 point) and the other 37 putting you down in last... but the second song will place higher because of that 1 point.

But they said that a country could still be in the top 10 televote of a country with few actual votes, but either way, anything ranked below that must have got even fewer votes so it doesn’t justify getting 0 points by THEIR logic.

    Fallen angel is a very different song from Tix's usual style
    The only other song similar to that is one in Norwegian called "angel don't go" that he wrote for a young fan of his, Aurora, who died of cancer. She loved him so much that she had asked for him to be to her funeral, as she knew she would pass soon.
    And he went to her funeral, even if he had a concert on the same day.
    So, it's possible that Fallen angel is also about her and him not being able to deal with how important someone like him could be to her

    I'm from the Netherlands and I think I understand why our entry got zero points from the public. It is because the song is 'fine'. The German entry described it best: "I don't feel hate". To be loved by some requires to be hated by others. Nobody hated any of the entries in the bottom 5, so none of these were in anyone's top 10. Songs need to stand out.

      Teenage Dirtbag isn’t about his personal insecurity: he laments his lot in life, sure, but he’s not insecure in himself, and by the end of the song he’s got the girl and been fully vindicated in his identity.
      You can tell that it’s not about personal insecurity from the songwriter’s description in interviews: “so when I sing: 'I'm just a teenage dirtbag', I'm effectively saying: 'Yeah, fuck you if you don't like it. Just because I like AC/DC doesn't mean I'm a devil worshipper, and you're an idiot.' That's where it comes from." - that’s not insecure.

Although we can do without any extra competitors, seeing we already have so many members in the European Broadcast Union (even Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Jordan and Lebanon, (bonkers a.f. I know)). Perhaps a contest like the ESF but with countries from the Americas would be cool, or just the States within North America (50 from the US and 10 or 13 from Canada) competing in such an event. Just a thought.

    Norway not only still vibes to "Mil etter Mil", the first song to ever get 0 points in the international final, but also made it's singer Jahn Teigen one of our biggest music icons, and treated his recent death as a national tragedy. I don't think we put too much weight on not doing well in the international final.
    Also with all the ESC2021 reactions going around, it would be interesting if Alena picked out some songs for other years as well. (This is my roundabout way to ask you to react to Iceland 2019. Because if we are talking about "step on me" we need to talk about Iceland 2019.)

    • @ahkkariq7406
      @ahkkariq7406 Рік тому

      I couldn't agree more about Jahn Teigen and the fact that winning Eurovision is not that important to us. The most important thing is that we send off the artist we as people want to send, regardless of the person's chances of winning. It's more about us wanting to show Europe what WE like, and not what we think they will like. Norwegians wanted to share Tix with the whole world, and sent him to Eurovision - which was the right decision.
      I remember when we still had a jury in Norway, and they chose a different song than the people wanted - people got very angry with the system, almost a riot. If I remember correctly, the jury was abolished after that, so now it is the people who decide who will represent Norway. Of course, the organizers help to influence through the invitation of artists and order in the Norwegian semi-finals and final of the MGP, and that's fine.
