Paid Members johnnyboy Posted May 11 Author Paid Members Share Posted May 11 Rest of the World voting still hasn't opened (screenshot as of about 10 seconds ago). The "family show" in the arena is this afternoon at 12:30 which is the final dry run for the Grand Final. I'd imagine it would need to be resolved by then one way or the other as if they aren't allowed to perform in the family show then Joost won't have been involved in any of the Grand Final dress rehearsals.

Just Some Guy Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 And nowt to do with him being heckled by Israeli media types it seems. Seems totally disproportionate to totally remove the song from the contest. Fair enough if you don't want the guy on stage but at least play his semifinal performance again. Doesn't seem fair to the songwriters.

United by Music! Wasn’t it something to do with the Israeli delegation filming people without consent, which I think breaks the law there? Speaking of which, getting a lot of vibes of “Please be Israel who got the guy disqualified, the bastard!! What? They had nothing to do with it? He only harassed a woman, I wanted Israel to be responsible so I don’t care he harassed a woman” from the chatterati Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Wiseau Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 And now the French guy is in trouble for his statement during the song in the dress rehearsal which could be classed as breaking the rules about politics at Eurovision! It's not a dull year and that's for sure https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-68996532 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanky316 Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Remember when Eurovision controversy was limited to "the EBU wanted to host it in Sweden for Abbas anniversary, so they rigged the jury vote against the catchy Finnish song"? What a shambles, things just keep spiralling and getting more absurd. I keep going from not really wanting to watch it due to the shit show to thinking it could be unmissable car crash telly.

Paid Members SpiritOfTheForest Posted May 11 Paid Members Share Posted May 11 Just going to pipe up and say that while I don't give a mouse-sized shit about Eurovision itself, I'm intrigued to watch as it does indeed seem like car crash telly with all these developments. And without a horse in the race, I am quite hoping for Israel to win purely to witness the absolute heeds gone and seethe that would surely follow 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members johnnyboy Posted May 11 Author Paid Members Share Posted May 11 Kaarija (Cha Cha Cha - Finland) and Alessandra (Queen of Kings - Norway) will no longer be revealing the points of their respective juries.

They set a precedent with Russia over Ukraine, so hiding behind impartiality is bollocks and I'm sure they know it. Just an awful mess, and another fun thing that's been swallowed by the miserable hellscape that the world has become. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Rob Lowe Posted May 11 Paid Members Share Posted May 11 Fair play they let some boos for Israel come through. Graham commented on the reaction being "mixed" too. I figured theyd completely wash them out and ignore it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro Red Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Think it may have been a case of not being able to drown it out completely rather than allowing some through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
