I'm starting to think Tesbull is the biggest troll this forum have ever had.

Sadly, no, just a toxic person who doesn't understand he's toxic.

He just is, what he is, he can't help it, nor can we.
Maybe the best solution for him, is to stay away.

Most of us are on the different wavelengths as him.
Most of us belong to different age group as him.

He just have to learn to understand that.

You should work on it more, but don't do it too much or your writings in real life will be like a long poem

A really, REALLY long poem.

wrong place to advertise the "equality", if our society is so amazing they should do it somewhere where it would be more efficient rather than a music competition and that right there was not equality. Equality would be if she had been given the proper place according to her singing.

It's also extremely unfair to competitioners. Eurovision sucks, its true but some singers there still put quite a lot of effort into their songs. Tell you this, as someone that practises very hard, used to practise more than 4 hours a day (before injuries), if someone won against me in a competition just because they were black/homosexual/trans-gender while they absolutely suck, i'd lose my mind xD

Agreed. We all must be professional enough in our judging

Say we were judges. Even IF some guy came to a competition, and in his introduction said that his family had been poverty stricken for decades, and that his mom was having a deadly disease that can only be paid with the prize money of this competition and it's the only chance he has to save his mom......I would feel very sorry for him, but if someone else legitimately performed better than him even if it was slightly I would give the prize to the rightfully winning guy no questions asked.

I am not that crazy yet, I guess lol.
But I've noticed that when I chat with friends, I do it more often by standard language, rather than the dialect or slang I used to chat with.
Writing must have something to do with it.

The thing though is that ESC doesn't have judges, it's all votes from the different countries. There's no way of guaranteeing getting "fair" results with a voting system. That said it's a popularity contest, it doesn't matter how good you are if you're not popular enough.

[Wooderson]

Aha, we've reached the sympathy vote discussion.

When it comes to audience interaction with reality TV, its a very interesting thing to look at how the audience will make judgments due to sympathy.

Shows like X Factor and Britain's Got Talent has been milking the use of sympathy voting as it has huge potential for getting more votes in. There is a reason why they edit in all their sob stories.

With Eurovision it is slightly different maybe, I don't know if voting is profitable to the producers or not.

Nevertheless, this is just a classic case of interactive judgment showing its flaws.
