No, back to the roots, please! Only in the native language of the countries, all singers accompanied by the same orchestra, and only jury votes. It used to be a very unique competition, but now it’s just meh. Boring. Thanks, but no thanks.
The competition was meant for composers and authors, not for musicians. Composition and lyrics only. Not performance, not voices or “beauty” of languages.
That’s why I oppose public voting, because the audience tends to be very superficial. Have a jury of experts in composition and poetry. No music business, but pure art. In the beginning, the jurors voted primarily on the sheet music, without having even seen the performance.
They have actually changed the rules! Audiences choose who moves on to the final now - there are no jury votes in semis anymore. Only for the final.
Yep. That’s only half a step though. I’ll be back when they remove the jury from all votes.

I know it’s not like that anymore. That’s why I haven’t watched it for at least 30 years. Boring commercial mainstream garbage.
