The convenient offers in Germany and France if Eurovision is in Basel or Geneva are actually a negative point for those cities. The city invests millions and then everyone doesn't sleep, eat and buy things in the city or even Switzerland.

Zürich

Zurich Switzerland 🇨🇭

Croatia is little country, little country don't win reason why some don't participate any more and had no intention to come back to ESC If Croatia won maybe some would come back to ESC Nemo won because it was decided before ESC starts lot of money in the game and throwing Nederland out make judges easier task Song good but nothing special there were other nice songs and beautiful voices Someone said I quote: "Barbie song swinging on the beer cap "

marko being the expert in made up languages is the best thing 😂💙 makes it hard to decipher their songs but go vsauce!

Eurovision is a commercial, basic pop-culture festival, and it attracts such an audience. For me, Gate's performance, the music, the voice of the singer, the energy of a band, is simply a masterpiece. If not the winner, then in the top 3 of this year.

It's pretty easy to answer: Norway didn't chose KEiiNO In this Eurovision there are lots of music highlighting water as background If the Norwegians would like a successful song which is sang in Norwegian, they would choose Ekko Inni Meg in Eurovision 2023, but of course, Queen of the Kings is a really Great ICON

Gate was my #6 favorite this year, and I do continue to listen to their song. I love drama and intensity in rock music, which this song definitely has. However, there was zero chance of this song winning this year, for multiple reasons: 1. There were a lot of genuinely awesome songs this year, and in varying musical styles. The ballad lovers voted for France, the pop rock lovers voted for Croatia, and Ukraine and Italy always send strong songs that don’t sound like anyone else’s and gather large vote tallies. 2. The political campaigns by far right governments in multiple countries definitely influenced the popular vote totals for Israel, and that lowered scores for most countries, including Norway. I have no interest in discussing the politics of this conflict, which is far more complicated than some people want to acknowledge. But it’s clear that the very public campaign on KZfaq and other sites asking people voters to use multiple credit cards and phones to vote for one specific country worked. 3. The jury vote was deliberately skewed for Switzerland. The Code was my #2, I’m not complaining it won, it deserved lots of jury votes. The song as crafted was always going to appeal to jury members with its mix of pop, opera, rap and wonderful, heartfelt lyrics. But giving The Code 12 points almost across the board, when there were other really good songs that should also have appealed to the juries (like France and Ukraine) just seems suspicious. 4. Staging. The staging was visually appealing, but one note. The music video for the song adds drama and interest, in comparison. 5. Sing ability. The vocalist was really good! But this is not a song the audience or I can sing along to, especially the chorus. We can appreciate it, but on a more intellectual level rather than having a more emotional connection. A lot of comments I see online state Norway was underrated and robbed. I agree, but when only the top ten songs out of 27 are awarded points from each country, these things happen. I expected this from the public, but thought Norway would have gotten a better jury score. A lot of words to say Norway sent a really good song, but not a song designed to appeal to most of the Eurovision audience.

Gate was one of my top three acts, maybe even the winner this year. But it went over the heads of the average audience.

While I preferred KeiiNo in the heats, I genuinely believed Gate could possibly win Eurovision.

The answer is simple. Croatia did not want the organization of the ESC for many justified reasons. Switzerland was predetermined as the host country. Accordingly, Nemo was selected from among several offered performers. The song was written for the jury. In the end, the jury agreed and sent the ESC to Switzerland. Croatia won televoting, which is great for Marko's future career.

Svicarska je pobjedila samo zbog zirija i to je jedina istina. Nema nemo nista sa ovim nego ziri. Baby lasagna je za mene pobjednik bio i ostao i svako dobro mu dalje u karijeri zelim ❤️❤️❤️ najbolji je 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Y

Nemo perfectly incarnes the perfection for un AI production. The same for the 2d and the 3d in this contest. Recept.

Zato što su nas pokrali suci kao i u nogometu. 🇭🇷

From the bottom of my heart, I wish members of Cypar and Serbia juries to have children and grandchildren like Marko, and to those who gave 12 points to Nemo I wish lot of little Nemos.

"Why didn't Croatie win 2024?" well... it got less votes than swiss, so that's probably why, just guessing here... but i'd assume that the youtube channel "Eurovision 365" understands how the Eurovision works, so this is kinda disappointing

They did win. They won the votes of millions of people who were watching and voting. Much more important than getting a trophy.

Simple Answer Nemo was better .... totally pointless video

It's simple. I went into the contest as a Baby Lasagna bitch. He did everything he could do to win. He was simply beaten. It's not a jury thing. It's not a televote thing. (It MIGHT be an Israel televote thing.) He is still my winner. He is what I listen to. (Sidebar: Ireland is what I'm watching.) Congratulations to Nemo. They are a deserving winner. Any suggestion otherwise is plainly and simply sour grapes.

Actually, the most competitive, best song won. Actually, when I resd that Solo had won, I thought to myself that this was pretty logical. The most obvious winner.

Because politics

In recent years, as ESC gets more international and the production value of the stage shows increase substantially, it does seem a bit rigged that only counties with the funds to put on a good show win. Switzerland is just a continuation of a trend. The only exception might be Ukraine.

Israel literally campaigned around the world and paid people to vote for them so they took away a lot of votes from BL and maybe Ukraine and France too. That's why BL didn't win. Nemo was great and I'm not sorry that we lost to them, but let's be realistic, it's only 44 votes.

Nemo was better, period. I’m a non European Eurofan, so i am as objective as it can be. Watching the performances without even knowing the backstories it’s so clear to me that Nemo deserved this win. The amount of work, though and skills you need to have to do that it’s insane. I loved Croatia! It was so much fun and visually excellent. But in terms of performances Nemo was superior.

I think, ultimately, the reason why Baby Lasagna lost this year (and why Käärijä lost last year) is a side effect of televote-only semifinals - because semifinals are televote-only, delegations and selection juries for both internal selections and national finals choose songs that they think will appeal to televote in order to qualify - which, to their credit, does work - but the end result of this is that there are too many televote-baity songs that all steal votes, and therefore points, from each other, and there are so few songs that appeal to juries and the criteria they use to so score entries (like France and Switzerland) that juries are left with essentially no choice but to give those entries massive landslides. I will admit, as a Nemo fan, that they shouldn’t have landslided the juries as hard as they did (I thought Bambie, Silvester, Marina, and Teya weren’t done justice by juries), but given the composition of this show and the riskiness of Nemo’s performance, I think they deserved it.

I blame Jurys. Did The Code deserve to qualify, yes, did it deserve a 12 points and/or a spot on the left side of the leaderboard, maybe, did it deserve 22 12 points, no Not even Fairytale and Euphoria got that much 12 points(with more countries even)

If Nemo were a representative of a poorer country that could not afford such a performance, I doubt that such a Nemo would be able to see the final regardless of his voice. One fact is generally not mentioned about Nemo, and that is that this performance of his was allegedly one of the most expensive, if not the most expensive performance in the history of the ESC. If the song was enough to win, then why did it go to such an expense? Probably because Swiss TV could afford it and they went all or nothing to win. Because for several years in a row, Switzerland has been aiming for victory. I could never listen to Nemo's song to the end. It just doesn't suit me and it seems I'm not the only one, because it was only fifth in audience votes.

Najbolja pjesma ove godine , kao da je to bio koncert baby lasagne a ne obični nastup , ne sjećam se kad je cijela dvorana sudjelovala u pjesmi , šteta što žiri to nije prepoznao ali glavno da je osvojio srca publike koja ga je televotingom stavila na prvo mjesto i on je njihov pobjednik a ne Nemo kojeg nek sluša žiri sretno im bilo .

Because Nemo was just that good

Boring generic song, bad lyrics, even worse vocals, and while the staging looked phenomenal, it did nothing to keep viewers attention, unlike Sweden this year or Greece 2021, where you were curious about what's happening next. And it didn't elevate it in any form, so people didn't stay focused and grabbed their cellphones or spoke to people they were watching Eurovision with. Yes, 0 points are fully deserved, worst song and worst vocals in the Grand Final, but tone deaf juries of course put him up into 18th place. And I didn't even know him before Eurovision, so maybe his name recognition wasn't large enough to gain him any points.

Did not watch the video but my answer to your title is BECAUSE NEMO WAS BETTER? No need for a video to state the obvious

Why Croatia didnt win? Welllllll....I guess because Nemo was wayyyyyy better. Rim Tim Tagi Dim is a very catchy song and the show was great, but it was so conventional and predictable and it is 20 years late: the song and the performance would have been new in the early 2000, but we have 2024

EU establishment keeps abusing the ESC for aggressive virtue signaling. Nowadays its the "message" that brings the victory rather than artistic performance. Sometimes they allow for true artists to win as it was the case with Maneskin, but its just enough to make sure people won't stop watching it. EU turns everything into politics.

Stop talking about it, it doesnt even matter....this endless analysis..who cares???,?????

There are many theories as to why BL didn't win. The real truth is that he was "too normal". The story that he can't sing is nonsense, because he got a lot of points from the jury. If it comes to singing, Silimane is far...far ahead of Nemo. This Esc was supposed to be a fight between Marko and Joost, because the audience chose it that way..but they made sure to kick him out😪. And in the end, the audience (the people who pay for it all) turn out to be irrelevant..sadly. it's all a game of the organizers. In the end, I am glad that this "parade" will not be in Zagreb. Marko won anyway❤️

Please stop writing BL was robbed. You only damage his career in Europe. I used to love BL, loved his song. But after all the negative comments, now I associate hateful people who cannot loose with this song and I am not listening to the new songs. I know it's not his fault. And a lot of people feel the same. We are "allergic" to BL. I can't help. I wanted BL to win but I am happy he didn't because I didn't want some fans to win. And so did many others. I voted for Ireland, Italy and Greece. There was no conspiracy to give all the points to Nemo. It's not possible that 184 people from 37 countries with different languages and cultures would agree to do so with a highly nationalistic topic like that. Every country had an own strategy. And these are music professionals. They are working in art. Have you seen the guy from Malta with the Teddy Bears? No way people like him let anybody explain to him what he has to vote for. And there was no leak, no article, nothing. It was by far the best song when you consider technical and aristic aspects. As a jury has to do.

Because Marko is a straight,white male. Who has fiance, he is relatable. He is a Christian. And he is normal. But you know judges dosen t like that no not one bit. Sooo because they are "profesional" so they decided that they will going to give a trophy to someone who is "special" and who has identitiy crisis. But everybody in their right mind knows that Marko is the true winner of ESC 2024. And that s the truth.

Israel & Eden Golan supporter: I think Croatia was robbed of a win. Netherlands would have probably been top 5 and it's the only song I still listen to. The thing that confuses me the most about this year's competition is what the heck happened to Georgia. Me and my friends thought she was going top 5 lol. I think Croatia didn't win because the jury had an agenda and grouping up to have Switzerland win. They were great but it was obviously something strange going on. I heard rumors of some chat group of country jury members where they had joked around like "So how about Zürich 2025?" and things like that.

Baby Lasagna was my favourite too and delighted that Croatia came second, albeit not the win. I think the strategic public voting for Israel also played a part in the outcome.

Other analyses stress that as well the jury than the public votes wouldn't have been withdrawn as much from Switzerland, than distributed differently between the other competitors. Why don't you agree? But as you said, The last minute disqualification of Netherlands wasn't good for no other participant. The result can't be reconstructed, but that would have been that, and no guessing about if and whens. And in the end, the effects of the new wars, in and in the vicinity of Europe are multiples. I'd say that the perturbation of the ESC, is one of the smaller pity of those messes. When ESC management messes up, people are hurt in there pride, when Governments do, people get hurt in there body and dying.

I'm actually surprised that these four aren't in this video: Georgia 2015 - Tamara Gachechiladze - Keep The Faith Belgium 2018 - Sennek - Matter of Time Poland 2020 - Alicja - Empires Georgia 2017 - Lindita - World

Switzerland won because the Netherlands were disqualified from the final. Simple!

Croatia was the real winner

I’m currently debating with myself if I like 1987 or 1988 better. Leaning toward 88 because it has one of my favorite songs ever (Ireland), it had some fantastic, quirky entries (like Iceland), beautiful ballads (like Sweden), and incredible suspense until the very end (with England leading before the last jury, Switzerland getting only 6 point, bringing them one point ahead of England - and then waiting to hear England being mentioned in the final votes, but they didn’t). And, of course, Johnny Logan completely ignoring Celine Dion and even giving the trophy back to the composer when she passed it on to Celine. So many memorable moments in that show :)

My personal favorite was Croatia but if I were on a jury, I’d have to place Nemo higher due to the all-round artistic quality of the song and performance. The conceptual coherence is incredible. To me, the way the disc is flipping up and down at first signifies an unbalanced life, and then at the end Nemo finds their balance and master’s their life - even to the point of leaning back. It’s beautiful symbolism in all its simplicity :j

Thank you for your benevolent and fact based comment! This year was strong, and I could have lived very well with Ukraine, Croatia, Ireland or Greece winning. Yet Nemo was my favorite from the beginning, so of course I‘m very happy with the result.

I don't think so😅.
