Switzerland and Greece also missed out on the flag parade in addition to Ireland. feck's going on?
Music Eurovision 2024
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Boycott?
I agree with most of this (Norway 1995 -10 is great
), but Italy 2021 the joint second cheesiest winner ever is the opinion of an insane person. If anything it's just a bit of generic (but well performed) rock music. "Dear Coven"
This is such a cluster feck and so avoidable. Wouldn't it have just been easiest for the jury not to put Israel through the semi finals? If they weren't going to do it before the event itself, surely that would have been a sensible thing to do.
Setting a precedent on a banning a country (which isn't the obvious one) the day before the show is an irony that isn't even worth bringing up.
I reckon quite a few artist would be more than a bit peeved from the Dutch being banned over an alleged incident, while Israel are being allowed to participate.
Lordi and Måneskin were among the better entries, so unless your scale is reversed it makes no sense.

Bambie Thug (Ireland) is apparently pissed about the Israel broadcaster comments about their act. Don't know whether that is related to the flag parade incident or not.
I'm beginning to think we will only find out the real truth in a few years when Spielberg releases his controversial film "Malmo" starring Eric Bana as the disavowed mossad agent, embedded in the Israeli Eurovision delegation. Watch as he enacts minor disruption like winding up the dutch guy about his parents, hiding Bambi Thug's costume so she misses her dress rehearsal and setting off explosives at the Malmo Telephone exchange to influence the voting.
Events come to a dramatic climax when.....See the show tonight to find out!

Wonder if this is Bambi reporting the songwriter of the Israeli entry for targeting them on Instagram. Against the rules apparently.
Norway's entry last year, Alessandra (Queen of Kings), was supposed to be spokesperson for Norway's results, but apparently she has just withdrawn. Meaningless in the grand scheme of things, but just goes to show what a clusterfeck this is.

Cheesiness is always relevant to the era.
So much for being an event of unity and joy.
I feel like banning the guy who literally starts his performance with "Europe let's come together" might have set a bad precedent on that score.
Yep. The only reason it made it to number one was because everyone bought it thinking it was a edm banger.
I also got bait and switched all those years ago.
The epic disappointment when it starts slowing down after about 30 seconds...
Lordi and Maneskin have a bit of cheese (the whole glam thing is cheesy anyway), but not only they were among the best songs, but they were also significantly less cheesy than most of the entries every year.
Anyway, I would prefer from EBU to ban all the participants instead of not allowing them to express. Let Israel compete on its own.

I've just watched the Croatia entry in the semi-finals and have to say I'm impressed with the song. great staging with a knowing nod to "my lovely horse" in the screen visuals. I think all countries should unite behind Croatia winning just to wind up the Israelis!
It looked and sounded to me like a big chicken on a stage.
That Bambie Thug song though, that's actually pretty neat. If I was going to watch it and vote I'd probably lean that way. But I don't intend to do either tbh as it seems like this whole thing is a shit show.
GB, Ireland, Greece, Portugal and Switzerland all considering to withdraw.
As always, Switzerland pioneering political action. Typical for them.
Important context for how upsidedown world this all is.
You Twitter folk must realise that nobody is able to read threads.
Is this the year where Eurovision goes from being comedy movie material to a full fledged Hollywood drama?
Joost threatening someone and getting banned. Israeli media doing their best to antagonise contestants. Martin Österdahl running around trying to convince contestants to stay in the contest. Crisis meetings. The temperature of the protests rising outside as the Israeli contestant openly mocks other contestants on social media. Police being called in from neighbouring countries, anti-terror task forces deployed in Malmo.
All that is missing now is ABBA deciding against showing up.

Let's go!
Where've you seen that? Would be great.
Have they not said they wont be there ?
You don't know what was deleted. Because it was deleted.
All deleted posts were deleted by me I think and it was an attempt to keep politics out but I gave up.
Lads, it's Tottenham Eurovision.
Any bets on what unexpected turn of events are we going to witness tonight?
- Multiple countries withdrawing 5/1
- Contestants showing up in the main event with Palestine flags 3/1
- Uncontrollable booeing from the crowds 5/2
- Judge voting completely at odds with public voting 1/8
- Everything goes smoothly 1000/1
Those and the crowd chanting "Euro pa pa" seem inevitable.
I think that ship well and truly sailed today.
That's a free bet considering that's pretty much every year, at least with a few songs. Usually Norway, actually. But probably not this year.
Germany's participant from 2021 on anti-booing:
I don't recognize him, but I assume since he's German he finished in the bottom 5? Seems like a nice guy anyway.

Second last with three points.
Good statement though. Anti booing technology is some seriously dystopian shit.
Me watching any of it 1000000000000000000000000000000/1.
