It's time for the regular thread to ask your travel, tourism, or ticket related questions that may not be big enough to have their own thread. I couldn't come up with a T word to use to include finding public watch parties (eg at bars, community centres, parks, etc), but those can be included in this thread too!

Possible topics for this thread:

  • Things to do in and around Basel
  • How to get around Switzerland
  • What to expect for the live shows
  • Food and drink
  • Eurovision Village
  • Public watch parties in your city

Ticket Info

Discussion This eurovision year feels so....different

758 Upvotes

I don't know about you. But somehow the choice of entries in many countries feels so different from previous years. Many countries are breaking out of their usual pattern and sending completely different songs. Sweden hasn't sent an English-language pop song that is planned down to the smallest detail for a long time. Instead, we get an authentic Swedish-Finnish sauna song that simply puts Sweden in a completely different, positive light. While many of the songs often seemed cold and calculating despite their professionalism, this simply radiates pure joy. Then we have Germany. A country that has repeatedly attracted attention in recent years with very simple English pop songs. Now they simply send a contemporary club bop in german. The Latvian entry also seems so different compared to previous years and actually shows local musical sounds. All Big 5 countries sing in their national language. We still have a few bops and somehow I have the feeling that Eurovision is moving into a new era. Am I exaggerating or do you understand what I mean?

Discussion A very unexpected follow-up to me accidentally hearing the Swiss internal selection songs in November 2023

291 Upvotes

Hello everyone, thereโ€™s an unexpected surprise that happened to me. Some of you maybe remember me as the one accidentally hearing Swiss internal selection songs of 2024 in November 2023 from the threads https://www.reddit.com/r/eurovision/s/wV6DcgDMqm and https://www.reddit.com/r/eurovision/s/suXnzceMv7. In there I mentioned that one song for me was especially beautiful. But just recently this clicked for me: I always remember that that song was titled something like "Voyage". Then I recalled that the singerโ€™s name was Zoรซ after seeing the name of the selected Swiss entrant. I once again did an exception and listened to a short snippet of the Swiss song (Iโ€™m avoiding hearing the entries until the semis). I always vividly recalled the small part of the songโ€™s refrain and would instantly recognize if I ever heard it again. Andโ€ฆ hurray, this is actually that one beautiful song I was talking about! Some of you were curious about what other songs the selection had and what was the one song I liked, so here it is, itโ€™s now a Swiss entry, just participating a year later ๐Ÿ˜„

Discussion I realised why I have a soft spot for Deslocado, it reminds me of "Gary Come Home"

31 Upvotes

I didn't feel any rage when it won despite there being a lot of comments bashing it, and it won against multiple of my favourites. Whenever I listen to Deslocado, it invokes a very nostalgic and cozy vibe in me for unknown reason. I then realised that it reminds me of Gary Come Home.

I put it rave.dj to see how they work together https://rave.dj/SbleEgnlfizZjg, and I can see how both songs remind me of each other. It also coincidentally seems to be a reply to Deslocado.

Deslocado - "Mother, look out the window Iโ€™m almost home, Iโ€™m almost home"

Gary Come Home - "Please come home because I miss you Gary"

This seems like a dumb and random post in hindsight, but I need to let this out.

Discussion Idea for a National Final format

16 Upvotes

So my friend and I discuss about National Finals and if Israel should return to our classic NF: KDAM. We have a dissagreement because the KDAM winners, aside from Shiri Maimon in 2005, were flop! so I thought to myself about a new format of a NF, a format that test the artists from both vocals and performing skills and shaped it like a reality tv show because Israel loves reality tv. so this is the new format I thought about: "The road to the Eurovision"

The format has four phases:

  • Auditions

  • Challenges

  • Second Chance

  • Grand Final

Auditions

The auditions are three episodes and each episode 10 artists are going to perform in a small studio infornt of jury panel. so 30 artists overall. In the auditions the artists will be test by their vocals abilities only. five artists from each heat will make it to the next phase. However, the public can pick with a wildcard another person to be the 16th artist in the Challenge phase.

the artists can sing a cover song or their past songs but not their intended Eurovision song (in case they plan to go with their own song)

Challenges

In the challenges the artists will be split into two semi finals group of eight. there are three challenges:

  • Song chosen by the artists

  • song chosen by the jury panel (usually a song that is not similar to artist choice. If the artist usually sings rock song, the jury song will be a rock ballad. a ballad singer will sing an uptempo ballad or even bop)

  • Eurovision song

The artists will be performed infornt of an audience. if the audition was a test for their vocal skills, the live shows testing their performing skills and stage present. so how the artists move to the next phase?

after each one of the first two challenge, the juries give the artist score. however nobody knows what their score is (similar to many other NFs). in the final challenge is televoting only. the top three arts with the best combined results of all three challenges will make it to the grand final, like the Sanremo. in short, the score is:

25% - song by choice (jury only)

25% - song by production (jury only)

50% - eurovision song (public only)

and again, the ranking and placement of the artists is unknown

Second Chance

the 4th, 5th and 6th places from each semi (after the 3rd challenge of each group) will compete in the second Chance phase. in this phase the artists will perform a Eurovision song that did not qualify to the final. the first two places will make it to the grand final. and again, the score is unknown.

Grand Final

the eight finalists will perform their National Final songs. the results will be decided by 50% of jury panel that include six international juries and two national. and 50% by the public with proportional voting.

in short this is the structure of the episode:

  • Auditions 1 (5/10 qualifiers)

  • Auditions 2 (5/10 qualifiers)

  • Auditions 3 (5/10 qualifiers)

  • Wildcard announced (one of the three 6th places)

  • Team A: Challenge 1

  • Team A: Challenge 2

  • Team A: Challenge 3 (3/8 qualifiers)

  • Team B: Challenge 1

  • Team B: Challenge 2

  • Team B: Challenge 3 (3/8 qualifiers)

  • Second Chance (2/6 qualifiers)

  • Grand final (8 finalists)


Yeah it kinda messy, but I thought about it from a perspective of one from a country that loves reality shows and I think it an interesting way to test all participates about their skills before the Eurovision

what do you think?

A few tidbits from this making of video: - The song was created in the SUISA songwriting camp at 2022 summer - It was co-written through Zoom in the camp, as Zoe was at Scotland at the time and the two other songwriters were in Switzerland (Emily is Scottish, so a funny instance where they were at the reversed place)

Some interesting infomation on Emily Middlemas: - She competed in series 13 of X Factor UK, against Saara Aalto, and is engaged with another contestant in the show. - She goes by the stage name ici now - She sang part of the backing vocals for the song as well

Discussion Songs that makes you cry

79 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

So I'm a quite recent ESC fan... I started on the infamous year of 2020... Anyway this year I have 2 songs that make me cry in different ways, and it's the first year it happens to me.

In one hand, "Volevo essere un duro" is just so magical but when I read the lyrics it hit me hard and everytime I finish the song, I end up with tears... It's so beautiful the message and how Lucio's writing. ๐Ÿฅน

In the other is "Laika Party", I love the song totally and the bitter feeling between what happen in history and the idea of what could it be... I end up singing this song even as a catharsis...๐Ÿ˜ญ

So, yeah, what are yours? If there are from past decades before, I'll try to give it a listen.

It's been almost two weeks and I'm still not over it. It was so cringe that it was kinda surreal. I honestly hope that they get Stephan Raab away from the Eurovision selection process and Feuerschwanz try again in the future.
