It's honestly amusing to me how this year Sweden kept making fun of Käärijä, how they kept the "haha, imagine Finland would've won last year, then there'd be milkmaids, Moomins and Käärijä as interval acts, wouldn't that be crazy" attitude for both semis and the final, and then proceeded to give us these absolute bangers of interval acts:

1. A song about EBU's spoke person wanting to bang Martin Österdahl (paired with continious booing from the crowd lmao).

2. Loreen, singing two different songs which sound completely the same, with the most hideous staging on Earth (I'm sorry, Loreen fans, but it looked like she got stuck in the dentist's chair).

3. Creepy AI (?) ABBA holograms. Sorry once again, but they were hard to look at, I'm glad they weren't there for long.

You know what? I WISH there were milkmaids, Moomins and Käärijä. That would've been really fun.

They're really disqualifying him... Over apparently threatening someone.

When Israel is still in the game.

Well I guess 68 years was a good run for a Europe-wide song contest

nah im not gonna shut up about this actually. what the FUCK do you mean joost klein was disqualified over a verbal threat when israel staff members have been harassing other artists (including someone allegedly making fun of joost's deceased parents, which led to the reply he made that got him disqualified). what the FUCK do you mean the EBU broadcast is dubbing cheering and clapping over the crowd when israel shows up to hide the fact that everyone is booing and screaming "free palestine." what do you MEAN eric saade's performance wasn't advertised because he wore a keffiyeh. this shitshow is so blatantly rigged and propaganda, i honestly assume atp that the EBU will rig the contest so that israel wins. FUCK eurovision and FUCK the EBU and FUCK israel

Ngl when they said they would have a shorter show by like 10 minutes i didn't think it would be by kicking out one of the contestants

Just like when they are killing children

Australian backing singer revealed that Eurovision is patting down participants to make sure they don't bring any Palestinian symbols on stage

Not only has Eurovision gone out of their way to defend israel's inclusion, now they're treating all participants like criminals to make sure there isn't any solidarity with Palestine on stage

BOYCOTT EUROVISION, FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸

Israel is going to win tonight, don't watch Eurovision

There, I saved 4 hours of your time, you're welcome

The double standard is so crazy

Making 1 (one) "unlawful threat" -> Disqualification

Harassing numerous delegations, posting artists without their consent, and be a propaganda organisation for a genocidal state -> that's cool I guess

"Zero tolerance policy" bullshit EBU. If you had a sliver of a spine you would have removed israel before they even got a chance to participate

This might be the last year I watch esc. This contest is a travesty, and deserve whatever shitshow it ends up being

Also, Free Palestine

incredibly disgusting but also vindicatingly funny the rumours coming out about Israel at this year's eurovision. I'm not watching myself but from what I've seen from artists I follow and stuff on social media, the Israeli delegation and their press teams have so far:

Recorded a dude without consent out of pure fucking spite for the fact he doesn't like them

Have a songwriter going on tirades on Instagram posting about one specific performer she doesn't like cuz he's anti zionist

Shoved cameras in the face of another performer because they also expressed disappointment at their inclusion

Played victim at being asked why they shouldn't be expected to answer for the crimes their inclusion is attempting to artwash

Left early at an event for no reason

Might have bullied a performer by weaponising his dead parents?

Like I hope it's worth it for the EBU. All their attempts to cover up the obvious distaste that most of the audience and a lot of the performers have for Israel's inclusion aside, they literally just invited some genocidal school bullies to a big event and expected them to act professionally. The only professionals they are are professional victims lol

jere "no war" pöyhönen & joost "why not?" klein you were too powerful for this contest

besties, are we ready for the repeat of 2022 BUT MILES WORSE?

During Belgium's Eurovision broadcast, viewers were unexpectedly greeted with a powerful message condemning Israel's indiscriminate bombing of Gaza. The screen turned black, briefly interrupting the second semi-final, to shed light on the ongoing situation in Palestine.

“This is a trade union action. We condemn the human rights violations of the Israeli state. Moreover, Israel is destroying the press freedom. Therefore we are taking a temporary break from our broadcast. #CeasefireNow #StopGenocide”

the sound of the audience going out every so often isn't suspicious at all

Georgian comentator didn’t even introduce Israel he was dead silent. slay king

käärijä should have won sign

We Salute you Joost

Sweden trying so hard to justify stealing the win from Finland lol
