MODERATORS
What better way to demonstrate international simultaneous television broadcasting than with an annual song competition? It's quite literally the only reason why I turn on my telly anymore.
The only thing I hate about it is the fact that it can get quite political, and it certainly results in often very depressing controversy. Last year was a prime example of this.
But still, the tech behind it was and continues to be just so cool. Thanks, Switzerland.
Oh, they are talking about ESC!
Awww, not really.
Seriously, ESC is the least political show on whole of television, they are trying to avoid anything controversial as much as they can, just look at how they handled that Dutch singer who fell from grace. There was zero discussion or mentioning, he was just cut from the show.
Good job. Also, the fact that they couldn't just, idk, play one of his past performances and using that for the final instead of pretending he never even existed is a bit weird.
The votes are always political even when the show doesn't highlight it. Who wins and looses is mostly about which country the artist is from and the current events in that country. The music, performance, composition etc. barely matters
