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? Average r/witchesvspatriarchy user, kek.
Sad for Poland, but singing wasn't good enough. Other than that, i mostly agree with qualified songs.

>>377176God 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.

>>377398omg 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

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.

Think I never like multinational productions. If I hear that the producer is Swedish, the singer an ethnic Croat that born in Cyprus and living in Malta, the lyric writer an US American and the costume designer a French dude I already expect the most soulless corporate stuff imaginable.
I want projects that are personal. I rather have cringe songs that are honest and reflect personal or local mindsets and feelings than another artificial shit that 45 people calculated to become successful. Feel the same about movies and series.

As everyone else already said, Ireland's entry was good but holy christ the tranny pandering is so obnoxious it made me cringe. I'm fine with people being gendies in the context of Eurovision because who gives a shit but she's in her fucking 30's doing this. I was not surprised to hear that she used to be a party princess, she has that very specific kind of histrionic, attention hungry personality they always seem to have.
No. 377605
>>377582I 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.
Even as a metropolitan I can relate to the fear or leaving places and people behind, the fear of change, loss all that shit.

>>377747One 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.

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.

also for the information, she's a russian permanent resident too. she's hasn't even lived in israel for most of her life, she moved back in 2022 after her family left when she was 6 iirc the song itself was previously titled "october rain" and the lyrics are obvious allusions to that event. idk about you but i'm thinking they did have intentions to influence, going to eurovision is a huge deal to any country for that reason, because you can send a measage to millions not just in europe but all over the world.

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?
You just KNOW the jury won't vote for any of the good songs.

>>377759The 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.

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. There's a 90% chance that there's vote manipulation going on as well. This stole all the fun from the contest.

>>377908This is the exact type of boring song that the jury votes for. I predict that almost all jury points will go to this shit, Israel and maybe the pink dude with skirt (forgot what it was, Austria?).
>>377926Based 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%???
>>377946Thanks that might be an actual explanation. Yeah the majority didn't watch it or only watched but didn't vote yet.
Speaking about it the ability to vote for a single song 20 times is fucking stupid IMO. I gives more power to the fanatics and less to the casual single vote viewers that should be the ones that matter.

nonnie. i'm going to be honest with you i don't think anybody was expecting impressive vocals for a song like joost's. he's a great performer and he knows how to hype up a crowd. the song is fun to sing along to and while i'm not a huge fan of the staging i think it's cute he got his real friends on there kek. honestly thought the graphics were really funny but i am a zoomer which most of his audience is so… i'm voting for him KEK. he's not even my ultimate favorite (it's norway) but he got such a bad placement i almost feel like i have to. i really don't want to see him flop… but i'm glad he even got to participate in the first place. i've been rooting for him since last summer when he first started promoting himself. i mean can you blame me? i fucking hate all the previous snoozefests to generic pop songs avotros has been sending he's definitely been a nice and refreshing change of pace.
sorry for whiteknighting this moid so hard kek No. 378236
>>378234I agree with you, and personally for me I think that stage presence and the vibes that a performance brings outweighs technical talent in a competition like this. I personally don't remember many shows at all that were just very technically talented singers, but their songs were generic or performances boring. I would take a shittier singer with a great stage show over a boring technically good ballad any day of the week.
I will always have more fun watching a show like Joost or Windows95 man for example than some other ones out there.

>So how do we feel about ESC's brand new anti-booing technology this year?It's dumb. Freedom means that people are free to show what they think. If the jury or some other people with power force a winner or force something in nobody wants people are free to show they don't like it, this is part of a democracy. To make it worse everybody KNOWS. Like even if you didn't consider the circumstances the anti-booing tech is bad, everybody could hear that nobody cheered. Compare this to how the whole fucking hall was moving and screaming during Cha Cha Cha or Rim Tim Tigi Dim.

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.

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.

>>378440Yeah 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.

Screencap is in dutch but still, like they say in this news article there's several different versions of the story (a female tv worker or a photographer?) that this is looking really bad for Joost
https://www.vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/2024/05/10/joost-klein-eurovision/They also mention that Joost isn't following Eurovision on Instagram anymore, and he's deleted his posts from last night, so I definitely something is up. Him doing that sounds like bridges being burned tbh

>>378453Yeah this is another issue. You might reevaluate even older events. It's closer who is in the wrong here but so far I would have believed the report but I'm light if recent events I wonder is it might be a cover-up.
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.

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.

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).

- 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

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. But if the IS singer should have done that I legit hope that she will die and burn in hell.

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 have a hard time believing that it happens in a vacuum. Like him losing his shit over a photo during a normal scene.

Anyway, that's what we know for now, if it turns out he actually told her something awful then yes, of course disqualification is deserved. But like, It's not about gendered targeting.
No. 378973
>>378955i don't care that much about him, but what do you want us to do? cheer on his disqualification when we have little to no clue what he actually did? with all the info that we have, it's almost definitely not as simple as him just randomly going up to a woman and threatening her life.
i'll stick up for her if info is released that shows he chimped out on an innocent bystander, no matter if he was provoked beforehand or not, but currently we have fucking nothing.

No. 378986
>>378972This is the truth. Eurovision has seen a lot of ugly drama through the years. Most people don't care. They will read some headlines and shrug, then a week after the grand final they have other stuff to think about. I think that's good.
I honestly recommend for next year that people try to go in as blind as possible on the grand final. I used to do it for years before I got involved online and it's arguably a lot more enjoyable. Will probably do it like that next year.

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. Like how the Balkan still likes turbofolk. But explain that to tinfoil hat media.

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.

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.
Regardless of what happens now I hope that Croatia will win over the hearts of millions that haven't listened to that song already.

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.

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". So there's definitely something going on.

>>379373I agree with the other nona, this actually is the best thing that could happen to him because his song was shit and not even catchy enough to be a true meme (eg verka serduchka). Now he gets to cry poor little
victim and gets a ton of attention and support he wouldn't have gotten otherwise. Unless what he said comes out and it turns out it was really bad he's probably gained a lot more fans from this than he would from just competing.

>>379386I 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.

>>379443Not 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.
>>379498So he was part of the jury or do I misunderstand? This is bad actually. The more of them leave the more votes for Israel on principle. He would be the type of guy that would vote for Croatia.

>>379824Gotcha 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.

>>379867I 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.
>>379868Me neither. I can't understand any of their messages, a few of them said something more than "Thanks Europe" I think
