So ironic that Ireland's song starts with "avada kedavra" when the singer is such an annoying tryhard gendie handmaiden. JK Rowling and Harry Potter truly live rent free in trannies' heads. I can't wait for her commentary on it.

This year i haven't followed Eurovision as autistically as i usually do, but there are quite a lot of great songs. In the first semifinal Ukraine, Croatia (but he isn't my winner, idk), Lithuania (i forgive him for his haircut and nb flag, at least it wasn't on the stage), Slovenia, Finland are my favs. Honestly, if Slovenia had similar level of staging as Ireland, it would get way more attention. Ireland, even if we disregard tranny shit gets so praised everywhere, but the song is just meh. I like witchy shit, the song is so fucking try hard. Avada Kedavra, are you for real?

God she was so fucking cringe, and i say this as someone who likes weird metal shit. The gender pandering was disgusting and out of place, she looked like an ana-chan wanting to expose herself for public body checking, as a metalhead I hate how people already think dark alt is all inspired by drugs and she just comes out and literally makes it about drugs… overall it came off as try hard cringe with a side of child grooming.

Idk, i think it's only true for trans shit, because with gay songs you can make it make sense in an entry. Like love songs are common and adding an element of two same sex people kissing is not something out of the left field like most trans shit is. If they could just be whatever gender they are but perform like a normal human being without shoehorning tranny shit into it for no reason i would not be as pissed. I did not hate conchita, because at least he could sing and the song was good, even if he was a moid with a beard in a dress. But this Ireland bodychecking nightmare. Ew.

Yes, there has been transvestites in ESC before. That's different from transgender and troon propaganda. Conchita had a beard and didn't actually believe that he was female. Also there is the icon Verka who is just funny and also doesn't believe that he is female.

No. 377412

I personally don't give a shit if a man chooses to present himself in a more feminine way as long as he isn't calling himself a woman. Kinda like Australia this year had a man dressing in a more feminine way, but afaik he isn't claiming to be anything but a man.
Bringing the trans flag colours into your little skimpy outfit + waving the flag instead of your own country's flag like everyone else is just cringe as hell.

No. 377414

>she looked like an ana-chan wanting to expose herself for public body checking
this is how i feel about her in general. she does similar bs in her other videos. in one of her other MVs she is literally only wearing underwear and her breasts have paint on them and you can actually see her nipples and she also wears duct tape on them in other parts but i guess it's ok because she is almost flat. she does seem like an edgy exhibitionist NLOG but since that isn't cool enough she is a they/them who wears trans colors to appeal to fellow gendies

>>377398
omg you're so right. I even heard my countries commentators calling her "it"(because my language doesn't really work with they/them) and it was so cringe. and we aren't even that woke here. i hate this shit is catching on

the only based thing she did was writing on her body"ceasefire" and "free palestine" in some ancient language but esc organisers caught onto that and told her to remove those before the semifinal

>>377401

man i loved yesterday's perfomance so much. so much better than the national final. the fact cyprus with the boring dance breaks snatched a position instead of her…ugh. i knew she wouldn't qualify but had a little hope since slovenia, also a probable non-qualifier got to the final

No. 377441

I like the vibe of Ireland's performance and the song, but ffs the troon pandering shit is obnoxious. She isn't even a tranny so it's extra try hard. I rolled my eyes at her outfit reveal and further whenever they were on the screen waving the trans flags with no Irish flags in sight. Very reminiscent of Iceland 2022. Should have sent Go Tobann if only to spare our eyes from the ugly troon flag.

Yeah Bambi shoehorned the troon flag into every shot of Ireland in the green room, just to ensure every single audience member was aware of her special gendie status.

The amount of near-naked costumes this year felt really gross to me, that song included. Not even in a prude way, it was just not even fun glam or sexy, at times it just felt like watching a disappointing orgy with some anachans bodychecking in the mirror wall to see who was the boniest.

No. 377504

My problem with it is that it's too close of a copy of käärijä's song that was the fan favorite last year, it comes off as a cheap attempt to ride off his success which makes people not want to support it.

I mean sure they say that, but they still gave the singer giant sleeves and copied käärijä's pose instead of making up their own, both things being iconic for his performance. They at least changed the sleeve to look more piratey in the semifinal but it feels dishonest to say they're not trying to recapture his success by sending a similar song

It's at times like this I wish there was some sort of rule against the artists working in prostitution/sexwork during the show… why the fuck would you promote that?

But damn is it on the nose for the enby to: be a victim of sexual abuse, be a drug addict, be an exhibitionist who strips down to her underwear, selling her body aka "sexwork", putting "trans" above all else despite no effort to transition, trying to force in political messages everywhere… they're all the same.

There are a bunch of good songs but strangely nothing but Europapa and the Croatian song get me enough to download/buy and listen to them which is a bit weak. Maybe the second semi-final will have more after my taste.
Feel the same about the performances. Haven't seen Europapa live yet but from the semi-final 1 songs I only considered (again) the Croatian one cool as shit and maybe the Irish performance. But I am not a fan of the song itself with Ireland so I wouldn't vote it.
At least my own country made something somewhat decent this time (Germany). Not a fan of that genre and it has the types of cryptic lyrics I don't like so I wouldn't vote that either if I could. So far it's either Netherland or Croatia.

The balkan Slavic countries, Ukraine, Russia and Moldova and some northern countries like Finland or Sweden always have the highest chance for bangers IMO. I don't think I ever liked a song from France, UK, Malta or Australia lmao And the last German song I actually loved enough to put onto my playlist is from 1999.

If anything, this pose is Till Lindemann's. It's basically a variation on the Till hammer, picrel. Both Kaarija and Croatia are inspired by Rammstein so it makes sense.

It's so annoying that everything "queer" now literally means "depraved hyper-sexual shit" as if that wasn't the image old gay people fought their whole lives to remove. I don't mind some sparkly raunchy costumes but do we literally need to see half naked men humping each other and ass cheeks clapping every second number? I genuinely think if I stated "I don't really like the sexual performances" I'd be attacked and told "then why would you even watch ESC in the first place???" as if it's a given that it's all supposed to be a hyper-sexual now

Marko Purisic (Baby Lasagna) was just a random guy from a village who is a fan of Rammstein and into writing songs. He wrote and produced few songs, submitted one of then for national selection and managed to get into it as a backup (was not even chosen at first). Then he got noticed and got huge support, won etc…
What's interesting is his entire team is basically his friends and neighbours, his fiancee is the video producer, his brother plays the drums etc. Even the costume designer is someone from his village lol.

But that is what I like about his act, he didn't hire swedish producers or have some huge team behind his songs, just him and his friends.

I don't really like it but it's less awful than Lena and that shit. That said, I generally don't (or almost never like) single singers. It's usually melodic minimalism and too boring and atmospherics or soft for me to care. But since that's the shit the jury is obsessed with there are many that elect these types of singers.

Fucking this. I love that it's basically a village product and it matches the theme of the song perfectly.

I also like the theme of the song a lot. Personally not into love songs and not a fan of vague texts that can mean whatever you want either. This is an obvious song about a rural dude having to leave his country and town for (probably economic) reasons and being sad and anxious about it. It's something that speaks to millions of immigrants and people that moved away from their birthplace.

One of the biggest sponsors of the contest is an Israeli company (Morocconoil) so booting Israel off the competition would've meant losing a considerable amount of sponsor money to the point they contest probably wouldn't have been made possible. I know I'm possibly being hypocritical about it but even though the situation between Israel and Palestine is dire, it's not comparable to the situation between Russia and Ukraine as despite Ukraine being the battlefront, Russia is practically in war with the entirety of Europe at the moment. I do agree that countries outside of Europe shouldn't be welcomed in general though and also recognize that an Eurovision win is a huge PR win for a country and they can abuse it to gain soft power, which is why it's so problematic that countries with limited human rights like Belarus or Azerbaijan would be allowed to participate.

And talking about that, some anons were talking about how many women this year wear revealing tight outfits and it's so true. I was so tired seeing so many of the songs yesterday having a woman wearing something tight/short and going on a dancebreak

Käärijä, who performed between acts this year, met the Israeli contestant backstage and danced with her which was recorded and posted on her IG story (deleted now though). Palestine supporters got mad at him and Käärijä then posted a story that it was filmed without his consent and it wasn’t a political statement. Now Israeli supporters hate him. Neutral people also call him a coward that he didn’t just shrug this dancing thing off. Everyone hates him kek. United by hate ?

It's possible but it's more likely Israel got a lot of votes from people who normally don't watch Eurovision for obvious political reasons. Not a lot of people vote in the semi finals so it's easier to seay the vote…

So how do we feel about ESC's brand new anti-booing technology this year?

Picrel was the crowd during the Israel act. You could even notice during the performance how the crowd was strangely silent except for some bizarrely-placed cheers. They must have muted the crowd and it was probably because of the crowd booing intensely last year after Loreen won.

Though that aside does anybody also love "We will rave" a lot? I miss Eurodance. Think this is the first time that I am also rooting for a Swiss song.

Judging by how crazy the audience went as well as the views on youtube I am sure that the people will primarily vote for the two first countries I mentioned. Now is the question if it will be enough to overtrump the horseshit and paid voting from the jury?

The problem isn't that Israel participates but the obvious bias as well as the content of the song and the mindset of the singer who openly declares it.

Why is Russia banned but not Israel?
Let both of them in or none. Besides that Russia's songs were cool and one of the recent ones was about feminism, despite being Putin's country. The protests wouldn't be half as loud if it was Orphaned Land singing for Israel or at least someone with a politically neutral song or at least nothing hinting nationalism. But no, the country HAS to provoke as they always do.

They can't expect the audience to be stupid enough to not notice the bias here.

Agreed. She's representing her country on an international stage. She doesn't deserve to have harm done upon her, but she's complicit in trying to launder the reputation of her shitty little country.

I'm unironically mad about this bullshit. Now people are planning on tactical voting which means that the winner, no matter what, will be decided by international politics rather than whose act is best or even harmless country dynamics.

Based leaker.
As a half-Italian I have a VERY hard time buying this. Even the whole war shit aside, the Israelian song isn't really the type of shit Italians usually listen to.The people I heard talking about this were into the more powerful, hard/fast-paced or funny songs. Netherlands, Switzerland were the ones I've seen being mentioned (positively) the most often, followed by Albania and the Czech song.

Unlike Germans Italians don't feel this obligation to pander Israel either so I hate to sound like a tinfoiler but I have legit issues believing that this isn't rigged. Maybe if Israel was on the same level as Netherlands. But 40% and Netherlands 7%???
>>377946
Thanks that might be an actual explanation. Yeah the majority didn't watch it or only watched but didn't vote yet.

I would take a shittier singer with a great stage show over a boring technically good ballad any day of the week.

Doubt they will be fast enough to censure that too with some anti-booing or anti-speech tech.

The anons going "oh no poor girl" need to get a grip. She's been openly talking about being excited to serve in the Israeli military and they had to change her song from the very obviously pro-war propaganda version into a more subtle one, she doesn't deserve your pity. It comes across as being cocky and smug, like "yeah we foot the bill for the Eurovision and our company is the biggest sponsor of the contest, what are you going to do about it?".

He reallt wasn't a big contender for the win…. his performance wouldn't score points with jury. Italy, Switzerland, Ukraine are the top countries that'll probably get a lot of televote and jury votes, and Croatia might scrape enough jury votes to win with televote support.

A part of me wishes that the Eurovision would just up and die at this point. Last year revealed how it's all about jury circlejerking making arrangements to ensure the winner the EBU wants instead of what the people of Europe want, and over the years they've been letting in countries with severe human rights violations, dragged their feet banning Russia (until Russia left by themselves) and are now doing everything to protect Israel even at the expense of other contestants. It's not fun to watch a bunch of rich producer pawns singing soulless songs on stage while being aware of all the things going on behind the scenes.

Personally though I believe that Croatia would have taken over. Europapa was the most popular song before the ESC since it became a hit in the Netherlands, Rim Tim Tagi Dim wasn't even supposed to go to the semi-finals until someone else dropped out so the song comes out of nowhere for the rest of Europe.

They might have shared the big voting numbers though. If Netherlands are actually out as some people claim Croatia would be even stronger. Unless there are too many people boycotting which might happen if they bullied the Netherlands out.

But this is particularly why I am mad. They had this chance they had an event to support smaller artists internationally and they had an event that could have promoted inter-European solidarity and tolerance for the different cultures this continent consists of and they had to turn this into rigged crap so that some few assholes profit from this.

Spot on. Käärijä was so beloved because he was a literal nobody even in his own country who rose through the ranks being genuinely charismatic, unique and talented but lost in the end simply because the jury votes were fixed on supporting mainstream megastar entries like Loreen. It was a slap in the face for people who wanted to support upcoming, fresh artists to show off the extent of their talent and share their country's culture instead of soulless pop sensations. Who wants to watch a talent contest where people with enough money and connections win? At least they brought the people of Europe together in pointing out the flaws of the contest, but they fumbled once again with how they handled Israel's participation because they will always bend a knee to delegations with the deepest pockets. It's depressing because I have many fond memories of watching the Eurovision and this isn't how it should be.

Last year though, it was a gigantic fucking shitshow and I'm not alone in this judging by the 60k signature petition to remove the jury which sprung up immediately after. So I can say that we, as Europeans and Eurovision fans, did lose something with fuckass Sweden rigging the jury for narcoleptic Loreen to win.

I know that technically he has still won in a sense. His song is insanely popular, his father would be proud regardless.

Clearly there's an elephant in the room that EBU doesn't want to address. They don't even let people talk about it because of the 'no politics rule' and try to hide it under the carpet. If so many artists need to go around the issue to explain their views and opinions, maybe you should take that into account and do something about it instead of squeezing butt cheeks and hoping it'll pass, because you have to please sponsor country(-ies) of the show. And to think all of this could have been avoided by not letting Israel participate.

Seriously, they could have not been so stupid as to not see how this would end up like. They just decided to take the gamble and hope people wouldn't care, but it blew up in their face like crazy. They put every single artist in huge danger to be targeted by including Israel and caused an unfathomable amount of stress on them, I know I would be looking over my shoulder all the time in there.

running order of several countries without any biases? The Netherlands got it and they put the last performance of the semi-final to fifth place in the final. It's already barely random cause they can only get 1st or 2nd half of the final and the producers decide their spots. Why are they given even more power…

Does anyone know if Joost is known to have a temper?

No. 378448

>>378440
Yeah if Joost just got mad about someone filming him and slapping that person's phone away it doesn't need any investigation, it's a typical misstep stars often do I think and not even very damaging (since it's usually done for privacy reasons).
It's either something heavier than this or some anons are right and it involves israel and media is afraid of touching any subject that might put them in a bad light. There is a journalist from israel walking around and making fun of the other countries so I wouldn't wonder if Joost punched that guy, though it's probably not this.

somewhat related but does anyone remember when the israeli gay guy kissed the presenters on the cheek and we didn't see him again? i remember that causing trouble, but then again it says he "dropped out for reasons of security protocols" when you look it up. so might just be a coincidence

I've never seen anyone talk negatively about Joost his personality, even before all the Eurovision stuff so it's difficult to imagine him having a temper.

I can imagine him being on edge because of it and the journalist possibly saying something that might have set him off. But yeah, who knows what truly happened. We can only speculate for now.

That said I also believe that they would have reported it quickly if Joost snapped for no understandable reason. The fact that they keep quiet makes me believe they are afraid of escalation with all the protests happening outside.
If Joost has attacked an Israeli for no reason they would have used this to bash anti-Israel critics, it would have been a win for them. They didn't, so I doubt it's that.

I hate so sound like a /pol/tard but if Israel should have been involved it's no surprise.
We recently had a huge scandal in my country. Some jewish/Israeli influencer pretended claimed that a Persian receptionist from a hotel bullied him for the Star of David. The camera footage was shown instantly and nowhere did it look like an argument, they only talked for like a second and the influencer didn't even show the star and he's a phone addict and yet didn't record the incident? lol.
And yet the receptionist lost the job, was investigated, got death threats, had to hide and media went full racist again. Months later it turns out it was all a lie. The media barely talked about this and daring to criticize this piece of shit for what he has done still makes you antisemitic. It's cursed and very stupid.

Pretending that every Jewish person had the same upright personality is anti-semitic too btw. since they're erasing their individuality and threat them as hivemind. But good luck explaining that to corporate media. We also CANCEL a lot of Jews that don't agree with our narrative, prohibit them to speak, to go to an event, organize an event etc. just saying.

You would imagine that if half of the world already hated you would try to keep a low profile and try to behave decently. I didn't care about them either but now I openly hate them. By now I believe that they just act as bad as humanly possible because they can. They feel secure and know (or think) that the west will always back them. They could probably shoot our own people and our politicians would still call us the bad ones if we complained.
For fuck's sake it's not even an European country. I know many Croats, I was in Croatia, I know many Poles, Italians etc. I consider them part of my continent. Israel is some middle eastern country with a large percentage of religious lunatics and their only ties to us is that they ask for our money to pay for the NEETing fundies and bombs (and in the end it's us not them that get the terror attacks as retribution for meddling with some religious wars).

I can't believe I told people to be chill before and just mute it if they hate the Israeli ballad and enjoy the event. I am so pissed now.

And if the stuff I see people posting here is real they are also attacking Ireland and Greece. I have seen multiple hate posts against the Greek singer where idiots told people to cancel her and bully her away from the ESC what the hell.
All because she yawned during the Israeli performance. We don't even know if it was a statement or if she was just legit tired or sick. The cameras didn't show how she was behaving during the other performances. This shit is dangerous, fuck everybody that thinks this was okay. I hope Greece gets many points.

Yeah let's be real even if you ignored the war crimes and the deeply political stuff the singer for Israel posted online there is still the fact that there are multiple members from the other delegations claiming ti have been harassed by Israel. Like IIRC there is:
- Netherlands: Israeli journalist(?) stalking and provoking (partially caught on video), plus possible slander of Joost's dead parents (rumor)
- Ireland: Official threats against and slandering of the Irish singer as well as call for attacks against her (live on Israeli TV, posted on twitter and instagram by the singer and a journalist)
- Greece: Israeli journalist slandering the Greek band (posted on the official twitter account), plus threats from Israeli members and spokespeople against the singer for yawning once (twitter etc.)
- Spain: see >>378785 (rumor, not confirmed yet)

I probably missed some. And there is also the Italian singer singing a song about a world without nations and religions backstage which might be a big hint to the shit going on and her opinion about it.

I didn't. I just said that being a woman doesn't make a person flawless. Most bullies I met were women. Lashing out against someone that hurts and provokes others isn't victim blaming, blaming the the one doing it is. Society will always favor the bullies, if you are bullied you always have to defend yourself alone. You are the one disrupting the system since it's easy to look away when bullying happens but not if the victim attacks them back, this is an escalation then and this is why people hate it. They want to ignore it.
Almost all of my family is dead so I hope you understand why I feel nothing but pure hatred towards someone slandering dead people in front of someone that holds them dear. That is if the rumors are true. I don't agree if Joost should have threatened some random person for other reasons.

The most likely explanation is that a photographer filmed/photographed Joost without asking and he got mad for ignoring his right for privacy or something and then he lost his shit when they continued. Though anons are also right wondering about the silence if that's what happened. The Cha Cha Cha dude did something similar and everybody openly reported this mishap right away including himself.
Maybe there are two things at play. Israel harassing some bands one the one hand and Joost attacking a paparazzi on the other hand and they aren't connected. I don't think hiding things will doe the ESC any good though. It only fuels rumors and conspiracy theories.

I wish there was something like the ESC but with folk music or music that somehow represents the actual countries.
Also, no jury and no competition. I guess the competition makes it more interesting but it also leads to shitflinging and countries sending in what they believe the mainstream would like instead of what's representing them.

I usually dislike the songs of countries like Germany, France, UK basically the rich ones that heavily sponsor the ESC and I believe that this is the reason for why their bands are often bad or boring. Countries like Moldova or Armenia have nothing to lose so they just do whatever they feel like doing which makes their songs better or at least more fun.

I have a hard time believing that it happens in a vacuum. Like him losing his shit over a photo during a normal scene. And I believe that the media would have revealed this long ago if that was the case.

If in previous years there were multiple altercations between not so friendly countries participating in Eurovision (like Azerbaijan and Armenia), most of the time they didn't escape the Eurovision bubble and the general public who only watched grand finals was unaware. This year the disqualification will be mentioned by every countries commentator and the hosts of show, because how can you not mention such a big deal. The public will definitely find out about the details of the disqualification, Israel's participation and EBU's hypocrisy.

It's been said a million times already, but I will say it again. I'm so sad over how this year's eurovision has turned out. Drama and depression.

I admit I teared up when Joost said that line about his father and the message about a continent without borders at the end of the song. I was so happy back then, he kept the promise to his parents to go to the ESC one day and now this happened and I am now just depressed and don't feel like watching this show anymore.

No. 378906

he's sort of big in europe, or his surrounding countries anyway. i'm one of the devastated anons. he was just my favorite that i've been looking forwards to the most since last summer when he started advertising himself and how much he wanted to go to eurovision. i'm gutted tbh. but i'm saddened by the way everything's being handled in general as well which makes me feel sick about watching the grand final.

They will most likely all vote 20 times while the normal audience votes maybe once or twice. I honestly think that the multiple votes should be banned.

I don't believe in Israel's win today. Even in 2022 when Ukraine won, the jury didn't reward them with only 12 points and they weren't first (I think they were 5th or 6th) and only the public elevated them into the first place. Don't see anything similar happening with Israel, since there are way better jury baits, and the public is not as united on the Israel-Palestine topic like they were with Ukraine-Russia.

Germany might be fun to watch because we are already whining non-stop about anti-semitism and our usual low ranking. We always choose a boring song, send it to the ESC and bitch about some evil conspiracy against Germany for not getting enough points. It's pathetic, especially when they love to accuse Slavic people of being little shits that hate Germany when in reality they are just more likely to make songs that other Slavic cultures also enjoy for having a similar preferences.

Related to >>379042. So it's not just about Ireland. Another mistake or related to Israel's provocations? We know that they seethed about Ireland and Greece, but Switzerland would be new to me. I would be surprised if that gay dude wasn't opposing Israel though, but who knows.

i don't get the vehement hatred towards her. yeah she's a gendie, she's not even a full tranny. she's been sexually abused and i know i sound like a boomer but it's obvious that she's using this gender identity trans advocacy thing as a coping mechanism. i'm sorry i just can't find it in me to hate her. she's annoying and cringeworthy yes but she can deliver a performance and she is by far one of the most interesting and unique acts (not my favorite though kek). i've said it before in the thread but if anything normies seeing her won't be influenced to support trannies but the opposite, she's like obviously a freakshow. don't understand what all that hatred is coming from but i am on LC after all kek. she says she's nonbinary but who's actually seeing her as anything but a woman ? i mean you'd obviously have to have some level of respect for self identification for it to make you that mad like she's just a traumatized woman in the end somewhat unrelated and this goes for the whole website not just the stream but i've noticed that anons just don't like gender nonconformity in general…

That rigging with Sweden might have worked 30 years ago but today everybody can check the numbers online to see what's popular and what not, can look up the history of people, can find the shilling for Sweden because of 40 years of Abba and can check the charts. They cannot fuck with people anymore unless they do it less obviously. And yet they believe everybody was falling for it.
I still see tweets with retards pretending the audience was just an exceptional minority and that whole Europe was going crazy over the ISR ballad. It's comical.

On the other hand this shit with the jury HAD to be addressed at some point, the whole Israel deal just helped escalating it. The jury votes are unfair towards every talented singer that joins the ESC to hope for a fair victory because the people love their song.

She releases like a billion videos in every language to tell people to vote her
They seem to need this victory so much. How sad it would be if she would lose some Croatian that she probably considers second class human beings imagine.
I am not sure what I should even hope for. Israel winning and ESC dying for good or Israel losing, Croatia winning and witnessing the crying about antisemitism or whatever shit they will come up with.

Some context for the dutch tweet: he's saying there was no physical violence. During rehearsals Joost was asked to come up to the stage very quickly after Norway finished, but someone from production was standing in the way. Joost mentioned something about this then. Then in the semi-finals the same thing happened and she was standing in the way again. He was pumped up for his first important show so he said what is mentioned there and moved on.
I could also note that in translation there's a possibility he just said he was gonna bump into her next time, but that is obviously not sure what the intention was. In general it does not seem like something to be disqualified over at first glance

The Finnish representatives were just interviewed by the Finnish media and they refused to comment on what's going on, but they did say that the atmosphere between the delegations is very "weird" and they were cut off mid-interview when they were asked about if they had any details on the altercation between Joost and the staff member. They were also asked if they had been hassled by other delegations (obviously referring to Israel) and instead of straight out denying they said "we can't comment on that", and also added later that they loved performing with Käärijä and think he's a lovely person because "they needed a break from the backstage".

I have listened to the semi-final version of this song like 200 times by now. It slaps so hard. The costumes are great, the dances are passionate, the "family project" background it has is great, the grandma doilies are cute and the music is great from the very first second, has no boring parts and it has a fantastic climax.
Still wish Joost was in the finale like actually appearing. I didn't expect him to win I expected maybe the fifth place (audience + jury votes) and second place in the audience votes. Croatia has legit chances unless every Israel stan isn't voting 20 times. Which is actually within the realm of possibility, but I believe that the ESC will be done for if this happens.

Not sure if related but I always roll the eyes when I see progressives (including feminists) stanning Israel so hard claiming it was super progressive when this country is so painfully performative, especially when it's about homosexuality, let alone gender politics.
I have seen videos where IDF guys were posing with the gay flag and murdered women in the background oh so progressive I guess I have to side with them now because there are gay people somewhere.
It's only a matter of time till Netan will ban the flags considering that LGBT+ are the most likely group to condemn what he does.

Now there are wars everywhere and I am getting legit anxious when I just think about the upcoming elections in many countries.

SO our moderator just said it: Joost was very political about Israel's war during a conference.
THIS is why he was banned. He also hid his head in his flag during the performance of Israel.

Don't make a new one before this one hits 1200. You don't need to compile info since this isn't /snow/ so creating one early isn't necessary.

Am I crazy? I'm listening to the local broadcast and couldn't hear it. Is there a difference between the youtube stream and the tv ones?

They have an anti-booing cancel tech that gets rid of the booing or mostly.

Gotcha thanks. I think it's very hypocritical that it's only one side of the conflict that gets away with it and the other gets the consequences for both, like back in the 2019 edition in Israel and Hatari getting flack, and now it's backwards.

Also I miss the weird choreographies and costumes so far to compensate the lack of weird singing performances sorry if that's a controversial take, I watch ESC for the lolz mostly.

But Estonia fulfills my expectations right now lol.

I can't believe I liked it too. Was surprised but not really into it the first time but seeing it again it kind of fascinated me. Was the finale version more powerful/angry or something?
It was kinda cool. Croatia is still my favorite but the combination of song + demonic performance made it so cool.

Me neither. I can't understand any of their messages, a few of them said something more than "Thanks Europe" I think
