And indeed it's meant as a kind of ironic answer to Eurovision. This time with real human musicians, not necessarily and like 100% of the time not sponsored by the record industry or battling super producers.
Often but not necessarily be done among amateurs or semi amateurs, always 100% dedicated to their own music. And it's happening here, within the #Fediverse. There is a voting system to find a winner. However anyone taking part is already a recognized as a winner.
That should give you an idea. I'm not associated with the organizers, I'm just one of the participants. I hope I explained this right, else I'd ask @futzle to correct me, or getting more into detail - as she is one of the main figures of this positive movement.
You see, #Eurovision was a shitshow this year because of the inclusion of a genocidal state in the contest, but I think we can say #Nemo did deserve his victory. Not only does his act sound amazing but the message behind it is powerful and of utmost necessity currently. https://youtu.be/0JqxpaJot2E
"Israeli officials hyped their country’s 5th place Eurovision finish as proof of quiet global grassroots support for their assault on Gaza. Now, they admit they manipulated the results through an international propaganda blitz"
"Ynet reported Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the government publicity office invested in a targeted campaign to get votes not based on the song itself, but by appealing to pro-Zionist and Islamophobic views"
The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) issued a statement to the press on Monday, saying they “regret that some delegations at the #Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) in Malmö didn’t respect the spirit of the rules and the competition both onsite and during their broadcasts.” This release does not appear on the Eurovision or EBU web sites.
“Some delegations.” “Spirit of the rules.” Suuuuuure.
The statement continues: “the EBU’s governing bodies will, together with the heads of delegations, review the events surrounding the ESC in Malmö to move forward in a positive way and to ensure the values of the event are respected by everyone.
“Individual cases will be discussed by the event’s governing body, the #Eurovision Song Contest Reference Group made up of representatives from participating broadcasters, at its next meeting.”
Place your bets as to whether KAN faces ANY consequences.
For anyone keeping score, the EBU has so far received reports of incidents at #Eurovision from The Netherlands, Ireland, the UK, Portugal, Slovenia and Switzerland. A number of broadcasters and artists have so far made statements, including Norway, Lithuania, Poland, Ukraine, Spain, Croatia, France and Italy.
That’s 14 participating countries out of a possible 37, including four of the “big 5” countries. The EBU has work to do, which we can so far assume they’ll just sweep under the rug.
Ein Regierungsratspräsident eines grossen Kantons behauptet einfach mal dass eine Organisation eines Musikwettbewerbs korrupt ist...ohne auch irgendeinen Beweis für diese absolute Fake News zu liefern.
@adfichter Da frage ich mich ernsthaft, ob diese Person als Regierungsratspräsident nicht eigentlich wichtigere Themen zu behandeln hätte :neocat_googly_woozy:
