Music Eurovision 2024

The UK entry is up now. It actually sounds better now than it did when it was shown in the semis. Sounded quite flat and subdued there. Sounded a bit more interesting this time around. I'm still not big on it, but it's better than it was before.

The Greece entry was trash. Sounded like 5 songs in one, all of them shite.
I'm still surprised. Years and Years are an ok band and I like the main guys voice. I better go check out this performance.

I'm still not entirely sure on the mixing of it. It did sound like everything was better volume wise this time around, as apparently there was an issue with his microphone in the semis. Still, it doesn't quite do it for me. I do wonder if it's a song that maybe comes across better in the arena, although the visuals are quite interesting on tv.
 
You seem confused.

Yeah that’s it, I’m confused. :rolleyes:

Bambie Thug is non-binary. Have they claimed to not to be attracted to men? I've not heard them define their sexuality, to be honest. In any case, being bi or pan, for example, wouldn't preclude them from being in a relationship with a man.
I couldn’t care less what she (or they, yadda yadda) identifies as. Bambie Thug et al are just hitching a ride on the gay movement’s back.

When did they say they were a lesbian or not attracted to men though? Non-binary is not a sexual orientation.
 
I also learned that Ireland’s oh so queer and non-binary ‘rebel’ Bambie Thug is actually heterosexual and in a long term relationship with the male dancer she performed with. Sinead O’Connor ripping up a picture of the pope on live TV in the early 90s was rebellious. This was just cosplaying…with official endorsement from the political and media mainstream. It’s all pretty pathetic imo.

Is queer another word that has lost its meaning?

:rolleyes:
 
Eurovision this year has roughly been 10% about the songs, and 90% about everything else. A shame given the songs are pretty good on the whole, this season.
 
Up to Armenia's entry. It's ok and upbeat. Colouring staging, too. Just not a song that does too much for me. I like it more than Portugal's entry that was up just before it.

He's always been a really weak vocalist, at least live. Couple that with what was a rather generic dance-pop song, and it's no surprise he didn't win over the audience.

I really like their song 'Gold '. Maybe it's a live thing as you say
 
Gotta say Switzerland's performance was excellent in the final. Really was memorable. Great and unique staging. Simple but pretty cool. The track builds quite nicely and hits.
 
The Slovenia entry gives me Witcher 3 vibes. Makes me want to cast igni right now. Banging body, too.

What are you saying though? They are non binary. Hence part of the community. What more is there to say?
 
France's entry. Just, wow. Fecking incredible.

My favourite entries are (in no particular order):

Croatia
France
Netherlands (R.I.P. - fecking robbed)
Switzerland
Estonia (it's amazing, imo)

Sadly there are people who think those in straight presenting relationships aren't part of the queer community, it goes against the very inclusion that was fought for all these years.

I was reading recently that the majority of bisexuals are in heterosexual relationships and it seems surprising on the face of it.

However, they broke down the % of population who are straight vs gay/bi and if you are bi there are something like 9 times as many people of the opposite you could be attracted to when compared to those of the same sex who are also bi/gay. Purely based on numbers you're going to meet a lot more people of the opposite sex who are attracted to you and that you find attractive than of the opposite sex. This doesn't really help banish the stigma bisexuals experience but it doesn't make them any less bisexual or mean they are not part of the LGBT community.
 
If anyone thinks Israel legitimately got that many votes from the public they are wrong. They state sponsor shilling and farm these votes, just as they brigade certain subreddits

I seriously doubt that. I'd expect there were some private initiatives, though.

Don't be naive, man. They are spending fortune on PR stuff. Same as Russia.
They bombed youtube with stuff about their singer with inviting people to vote for them. And it is not even a secret.

Croatian page but tweets are on English.

I'm sure other countries do PR stuff as well in order to get people to vote for them. I'm pretty sure Israel has done it in the past as well - without a war going on.

And I don't see how those tweet make it specifically a govenment advertisement.
 
Btw; how come Ireland sent that song/performer? Isn't Ireland pure Catholic country? Was there outrage or something when she won?
 
What? It is genuine question. Look at outrage in some countries because of her.

Sorry, it’s just genuinely funny to see that foreigners still have this idea of Ireland.

Agreed with thoughts on France song. In my eyes, should have won based off that acapella bit alone. Phenomenal talent.

Also, seems you’re the only one who I’ve seen who liked the Estonia song. I think it’s catchy as feck. Got it booming on my Spotify right now.

Yeah. While you are actually just a calm and reasonable people, incapable of recycling.
