Hello Tom 👋🏻 Greetings from Cyprus 🇨🇾 I hope everything is alright in beautiful Ireland 😊 A big thank you for commenting about my country with love and maturity - something that doesn't happen with all Eurovision fans! 🙏🏻 I believe Cyprus 🇨🇾 and CyBC are sending something different this year as you noticed! Theo Evan brings freshness and uniqueness as far as it concerns the spirit around their participation! He writes music, lyrics, he dances and he is an actor! If all these tell a lot about a man's personality, imagine what he will bring on stage of Eurovision Song Contest 2025! Its promising!!! 🤩

Cornald Maas is usually well informed; he's been the Dutch commentator for years and has been a member of the selection committee as well. So I think he'll know quite well what the sentiment is like at the broadcaster. The talk here is that it's likely that we'll take part in Basel, but people are still very critical and urging for change in the ESC organisation.

I think there also might be some changes to the Vidbir itself (because last year (for safety reasons) a part of the show was pre-recorded and not only people didn't like that but also Дія (app where the voting was held) crashed when the voting was launched, which was near the middle of the pre-recorded show, people were quite annoyed when they were hearing: "vote before the time ends" all over and they just couldn't) and everyone in the show was acting like nothing happened because nobody could've predicted such a malfunction).

Would love a new video about momentum, average placings, etc. Outcome wouldn't be a surprise to me, because I've done all the maths myself. 😁 About The Netherlands: Cornald Maas really only gets some airtime on Dutch TV and radio during the Songcontest season. So Netherlands not participating would mean a little bit of a disaster for him PR-wise. Dutch broadcasters did a public poll on whether The Netherlands should participate, and a vast majority of the Dutch public doesn't want to participate in 2025, with a smaller but still significant percentage wanting to withdraw permanently. There is still a lot of resentment towards the EBU and the Dutch haven't quite forgotten that they were screwed by the EBU. People also would find it very weak from AVROTROS to participate, given the fact they lashed out to EBU regarding the DQ if Joost. So the public opinion isn't really in favour of participating, and I honestly don't know which way this saga will go. We'll have to wait until November 1, I guess.
@antoinemadelon1274

If I had to guess right now I'd say Netherlands does participate. Both AVROTROS and the EBU have said the discussions have been constructive so far, and I also don't think AVROTROS wants to lose the ratings (which were still relatively high last year even with the disqualification). Could be wrong obviously but that's what I feel at the moment.

Tom towards Montenegro and Montesong " why would want to be like Dora when theres PZE ". The answer is Eurovision isnt everything.. Most of you Euro fans dont even know this, but Dora actually stands for a long tradition. Since the 90s when Dora first aired, it was hella prestigious, like Sanremo in Italy because it brought Croatia after the Jugoslavian war together. It stood for national pride & our national music but sadly some how the music in Dora took a wrong turn. Its named after Dora Pejacević, croatias biggest and most influenatial composer to this day. The winning thropy of Dora also resembels her, so please stop with those Dora name jokes. One quick google research and you can find all of this infirmation on Wikipedia. But you see, Dora is WAY more than just a Eurovision preselection like PZE and I think thats what Montenegro also wants and thats why they said they want to be like Dora and not PZE. You just cant compare Dora and PZE when they have totaly diffrent meanings and origins. Dora sadly lost its charm a little over the years, because of HRTs horrific decisions, like going internal 2012 - 2018, but it is still is the oldest croatian music festival and holds a LOT of history and national pride and thats also why we croatians are hella pissed at HRT, that they did not only go internal but also totaly clashed the actual Dora we knew from the 90s and 10s. I highly recommend watching into Dora 1993, its here on YT and you see what Dora actually means to croatian people. That's why I ask the Eurofandom to stop making their condescending comments about Dora, you don't have to like Dora and its music but we're still talking about Croatian history and cultural heritage here. Then to say that Dora should be more like PZE is beyond disrespectful. Please let that go, thank you Oh and by the way Dora is celebrating its 25th birthday next year and we croatians are wondering if HRT finally learnt from their mistakes and if we will get the Dora back we know. Would be more than appropriate to its 25th birthday and Baby Lasagnas second place this year. And another interesting thing to know is, that we croatians actually prefer to withdraw from Eurovision, especially after this year and to focus more and only on Dora instead.

JoJo just wants a bigger international platform because her "adult" solo career isn't exactly taking off the way she expected, if reactions are anything to go by. And don't even get me started on her "gay pop inventor" blunder, the LGBT community at ESC would shred her to pieces. If she were as big as she aspires to be as a solo artist, she wouldn't even consider representing Poland at a competition that's not nearly as big in the US as in Australia. I doubt she can even find Poland on the map.

@@sav0001she can definitely find Poland on a map, she's also half Polish and probably speaks it better than Jann and Luna are speaking English. She's been there. And while I don't even know her, I looked at her Wikipedia page and found out that her song Karma was 22nd in the Billboard Charts, so that's definitely better than the pre contest success of most participants in recent years. And secondly, that's probably also misogyny. Last year, when Olly Alexander (whom I didn't know either, I just don't listen to Charts Music) was announced as the UK's representative, everyone was stoked about him, even though his entry (as well as his songs before) were totally bland and even though this guy can't even sing. But now, when a female from the charts wants to enter the contest, everyone's against her.

@@in_wino_veritas oh, it isn't misogyny, I promise, at least for the vast majority of people who dislike her potentially entering Eurovision. You say yourself that you don't know Jojo, so you can't really grasp how her persona of a "gay pop star" comes across. Especially to the LGBT+ community, and with her apparently claiming to be the one to invent gay pop. She's artificial - by which I don't mean that she's not queer, it's just the way she's going about things right now to push her career that makes her very unlikable. There's so many (queer) female musicians that people would fawn over if they participated. Just imagine Chapell Roan announcing her involvement, people would be besides themselves.

I am one of the few Dutch people who actually want AVROTROS to permanently withdraw. Every year, loads of Dutch people state how badly they want to witdraw from the competition and how AVROTROS is basically blinded by the money. Ever since Jan Dulles (3JS, Netherlands 2011) said that Netherlands should withdraw, which he stated back in 2011, I have been agreeing with him ever since. Netherlands should withdraw and I don't see the appeal of us being in Eurovision anyway, we are nothing but fucking clowns. It's time to act and time to withdraw, that's better for every single one of us.
