March 18, 20205 yr A part of me wants it postpone till 2021 as I hate the British entry, than again it be a shame for other artists who have potential to win Can't wait to hear James Newman's new song *.*
March 18, 20205 yr Just show the videos, if true, and vote as usual - or else use the same acts/songs for 2021...
March 18, 20205 yr Postponed to 2021 s reported by Dutch News organistation NOS "according to EBU, broadcasters and the city of Rotterdam it is the most logical scenario for everybody that the 65th edition will be held in Rotterdam. We are very proud of Rotterdam as they are willing to take on this role in 2021." This came with a warning that in these extraordinary times no garantues can be given. See y'all in a year guys
March 18, 20205 yr Miss Corona took this a step to far, cash me ouside how bou dat (Highkey glad tho, now we can host properly and the thristy gays will be thirstier for Eurovision than ever. This gon' be a hit)
March 18, 20205 yr CRAP! I mean, generally it wasn't a great year, and it's fair on Rotterdam to host it properly next year - but what about Iceland's and Lithuania's tracks that would surely give them their best results ever, and even others like Azerbaijan or Russia that whilst not the best are going to be difficult to top! :( Fully expect MelFest 2021 to go ahead as normal and for The Mamas not to show up in Rotterdam next year either :( MESS.
March 18, 20205 yr Disappointing of course but was to be expected. I was hoping they would maybe have no audience like some TV shows are doing but I kinda expected this decsion This whole year is gonna feel so weird, is anything actually going ahead over the next few months
March 18, 20205 yr I do hope something can be done for the tracks and the artists selected, I feel so bad for them, particularly all the touted contenders. ' Anything could happen from here on out, I think the only thing we can assume is that Eurovision 2021, if it goes ahead, will be in the Netherlands. I do hope that most broadcasters will stand by their acts at least, particularly for the likes of Samanta Tina who've made this a career goal.
March 18, 20205 yr Knew it would happen but it's gutting :( It's awful for the artists who worked hard etc. too, to get their chance but won't have it - I wonder if many of the artists will carry over to next year? Melfest is bigger than Eurovision so I doubt Sweden would, but maybe in the case of internals they can come back with a different song. James Newman can not tho x
March 18, 20205 yr I didn’t think there would be a year for the world worse than 2016... but here we are
March 18, 20205 yr Incredibly sad news :( Expected, but such a shame for all involved, and it's so sad these songs and probably a lot of the artists won't get a chance to compete. I expect the majority of these artists will be internally selected for next year, however.
March 18, 20205 yr Extremely sad day for everyone involved but ultimately it's fairest on Rotterdam being able to host Eurovision on its own terms rather than some sort of 'zombie Eurovision' and safest for all involved. Although the Eurovision flame may have been temporarily blown out, the Fuego will burn again soon, this time brighter than ever *.* The statement goes one step short of saying all the artists will be welcome back to 2021 or clarifying if the 2020 songs will be allowed to compete next year and I guess its for the individual countries to decide how they want to integrate any artist that wants another shot in 2021 into next winter's national finals. Like Italy/Sweden it's, if anything, a bigger achievement to win internally than at Eurovision itself so they'll at least have that but it'll be an interesting storyline going into next year at least. My inner sense of fair play says that this year's artists ought to get first refusal on going again but obviously not everyone is going to want or be able to.
March 18, 20205 yr Would be perfect now if someone would just make an unofficial online version of this open for everyone to watch where the contestants still get to compete. Lots of Euro fans online, wouldn't be surprised if someone did something of the sort to make up for this.
March 18, 20205 yr Well, that sucks! I was kind of expecting it but I swear they said just a few days ago that outright cancelling wasn't yet an option they were considering, these things develop too quickly. Ah well, onwards to 2021 assuming things will be normal by then lol x
