  1. Happy to help! Fljo-ta-vik The fl sounds like in affliate The jo sounds just like yo The ta sounds like in santa and vik sounds like the v in vest combined with the eek in week It has 3 syllables with the fljo part being one syllable. The name means Cove of Rivers, with "Fljót" meaning "River" and "Vík" meaning "Cove", although "Fljóta" can also mean "the quick one".
  2. I see it hasnt been posted here yet, but according to wiwiblogs a whopping ELEVEN out of sixteen entrants in Portugal's Festival da Canção have confirmed that they will not go to Vienna to represent their country if they win. That's almost 70% of the competing artists. 😶 Source
  3. I love this format! Makes the reveal even more dynamic because it's providing a lot of interesting information, at least to data nerds like me lmao
  4. To be honest even if I were actually able to ignore the whole thing about what Israel is doing in Palestine, I think the contest is compromised and beyond repair since Israel basically almost won last year by abusing the system and I find it highly unlikely that they'll just stop now. If you just look at the countries that were giving Israel top points, many of them didn't even give Israel any points when they had genuine contenders like Netta. Countries like Spain and Belgium noted that despite viewership dropping between years they were getting record amounts of televotes, and wouldn't you know both of them gave Israel 12 points in the final. (In comparison Belgium only gave Netta 3 points in the semi final). Additionally it's incredibly sus that a song - a BALLAD - that is like 19th out of all this year's entries in terms of Spotify streams somehow managed to top the televote with 12 points from thirteen countries. Now that the EBU have agreed to allow Israel to compete after all of this, and the only countries willing to put their foot down have left the competition and a lot of the core Eurovision base will likely be boycotting the show this year, it's HIGHLY likely Israel will win this year which will just further drive the stake into Eurovision's heart.
  5. omg i legit had a dream that I had already voted so im honestly a bit flabbergasted to learn that I have not done so yet
  6. Iceland has formally withdrawn from Eurovision! I'm very proud of my country and RÚV for making this decision and sticking to their guns. Eurovision doesn't bring joy anymore which is sad to say given just how massive Eurovision is and always has been in Iceland, generally clocking in at around 90%+ viewership. However, the general public is for the most part in favour of this decision and last month an official poll showed that around 2/3 of the country supports a boycott. Also, they don't rule out hosting Söngvakeppnin despite not participating in Eurovision!
  7. Yeah this sums up my feelings quite well. I really hope RUV makes the right decision on Wednesday. I know there is division within the ones in charge, but I really want Iceland to be on the right side of history here. Much respect to those countries that have withdrawn

  9. Hey apols for not voting yet, this week has been a mess for me so I wont be able to vote on time. I'll try to set aside some time to vote on time for the final though. Sorry 🫶
  10. I'm kinda gobsmacked to learn that bbno$ has basically only managed to chart two of his songs. I don't follow charts much anymore so based on just his social media presence I would have thought he'd have at least had some low top 100 hits
  11. I generally just search through the songs of BJSC and then do a "(song name) site:www.buzzjack.com" google search
  12. Tbh I'm still salty over this
  13. Why does confirmations week always go by much slower than voting weeks? Since picking my song I've been waiting for the song reveal thread like: I'm ready to perform ~
  14. Ooh I like that name! Welcome to both Zephyra Continuum and Jameseye! 🫀
