Last night during the announcement of Slovenia’s vote the spokesperson Andrea F brought the Eurovision spirit together more than any other Eurovision spokesperson last night, he wanted Europe to start listening to and voting for the songs instead of voting for a flag or neighbour. You can see the “WeR1 (Songs, Not Flags)”, on his suit during the Slovenian vote below at 36 minutes in:
I do apologise for misinterpreting Andrea F’s message, thank you Andrea for for correcting me.
Hey Eurovoix – actually, I didn’t protest Slovenia’s not making it to the final… My LED badge read:
“WeR1 (SONGS, NOT FLAGS)” – in the sense that, given this year’s slogan & spirit, and the undeniable fact that it is called “Eurovision SONG contest” it would be nice if we all started listening to (and voting for) the songs, instead of the flag/country/neighbouring nation/ex-comrade/supposed allies/supposed-to-vote-us-back/most liked/least hated/ etc etc.
Applies to all & any country.
No protest, and nothing political, in fact just musical, and just my own thoughts – because music makes sound waves, and usually does a lot worse when asked to wave flags, as history teaches.
Kind regards,
