However, either way, mission was accomplished. The big label boy and the national astroturfer skewed and split the popular vote so well, that the juries managed to become kingmakers once more. And the very fandom that formerly didn't trust them, now looked up to them.

Same thing happened this year too, but the national astroturfer and ethnic cleanser succeeded a bit too well in skewing the popular vote. See, there were more than one Warner kids this time in the contest. Yup, you guessed it. The coffee guy and the wildly charismatic (and media savvy) sexy lady.

A note on the coffee guy: he might seem independant on paper, but he has collaborated with huge names connected with Warner, like the little green man, Little Big and the phenomenon Charli XCX. He is probably more influential, connected and talented than perceived.

And, btw, because of national competitions, a compromise was struck between Panik Records and the Greek State, possibly because of the rogue agent in 2024. I won't share my second theory, but I couldn't help but notice one recent former greek ESC artist missing from the commentary guests.

So, what will happen next year if Trump won't hit that button in a moment of demented delirium? EBU will make their audits and will probably find nothing suspicious enough to guarantee action. The rogue state broadcaster might get some scolding and a promise that they'll get their award later.

Next year, the show will be more straight friendly and family friendly. The current winner was alphabet nation, but he was so clean and passing that none would be the wiser. The USA are a huge audience target and EBU might have to adapt to incoming obscenity laws.

The ethnic cleansers will get their victory once things settle down, one way or another. I can almost guarantee that the contestants will be ethnic passing and probably contain a civilized, tamed Arab "pet".
