Switzerland’s Nemo is first nonbinary singer to win Eurovision Song Contest
Switzerland’s Nemo is first nonbinary singer to win Eurovision Song Contest
A politically charged finale also saw Israel booed and the Dutch entrant expelled.
Huh, I just assumed it had already happened. Well good that it finally did then.
I thought you had to give them your pronouns to even enter the contest. /s
I almost think there should be a seperate award for the soul of eurovision. Finland might have won that this year.
I liked the song. It's really nice actually.
The people still aren't happy. Their favorite (Croatia) didn't win. And yeah, they did deserve it too, but come on, 2nd place was the best they ever did.
Let's just be thankful that it wasn't Israel who took the trophy. And I'm pretty sure juries are the ones who prevented that, who are also the same people who gave almost all their votes to Switzerland.
So many other countries got robbed though, especially Norway.
Did Switzerland win because it was the best song or due to positive discrimination?
If it was because of political favours it would have either been Ukraine, Israel, Italy or Greece. (Maybe also the Netherlands if they were allowed to participate because their song (Europapa) would have gotten a lot of votes from european federalists)
We swiss are more neutral in europes perception. They don't hate us, but they also don't really love us. At least not as much as they love other Countries that are less.... "complicated"
That's not really the point I'm making.
I'm asking whether the song was best or whether countries were scared to look like they were "non-binary" phobic.
Edit: you can downvote all you want, I'm just asking a question and downvoting without an answer is in its own way an answer, because apparently no one is brave enough to say, "yes, it was by far the best song" 🤷🏼♂️
Yes is the best answer. They got a lot of votes from the Jury, because the song is musically one of the more impressive ones (subjective ofc). But, the audience also gets to vote, and can vote for whatever reason. Like: best song, nationalistic reasons, most catchy song?, identity reasons, Song of an artist that makes a statement. Similarly the jury is not immune to these thing so there is no such thing as a subjective vote for best song. So... Yes
Nemo won May 12th, The Article came May 13th and was posted here May 14th
pretty save to say everyone already learned from faster news sources
Lemmy is the only place I've heard about Eurovision at all this year.
Israel in your username. Yikes. Kinda unsurprising you get butthurt over an article on non-binary people
Why the Fuck would i get butthurt?
I am Swiss, Nemo won this Contest for us. And i am Liberal. If it doesn't hurt me, everyone is allowed to feel exactly the way they're allowed to.
I am annoyed by this filling my feeds for 2 days and now someone feels the need to post it yet another time
Jesus fucking Christ what's with those gums? And the face rhinestones? This person is fucking weird.
I don’t think it’s embedded in the skin or anything?
No one thinks this is…a little suspicious? Just when they’re catching flack from the left, the first NB winner! Feels very, very much like pacification to me. “Try protesting us now!” type of shit.
at last the trans agenda is revealed: to win a reasonably obscure pop music competition that barely, if at all, affects the pop music charts.
Do you know how the competition works?
The public votes for one thing, and the "professional" jury selects someone entirely different -Switzerland came fifth, but won.
Yeah you don't know how the voting works, do you?
