Petition to remove jury votes from ESC
The Issue
The jury votes have the ability to change the ranking of the countries completely, and that is very unfair considering the juries are only some people in each country. The public votes should be the only important votes as we are the people watching and paying (!) to vote. If the juries don’t like a song and barely give it any points, but the public loved it and gives it the most votes, it most likely won’t win anyway and it’s unfair. Like ESC 2019, Norway got the most public votes and still “only” placed fifth. The public should have the power to choose the winner, not the juries.
