Yeah, the quality of the songs is really high this year imo so many songs which otherwise would finish top 10 will miss out.

Some clips are spreading on social media about masked demonstrates attacking police vehicles, said to be from Eurovision.
In reality, the clips are 15 years old, from when Israel played a David Cup match in Malm.

Joost may have been disqualified. The rumors are some prick taunted him about his dead parents and he got physical. He's not being allowed to rehearse.

Fuck the EBU. I highly suggest nobody give than any money by voting.

Same. If it happened like you said, they struck a nerve with him. Joost has always made it quite clear that everything he does is out of respect for his parents.

That's going to heavily depend on what "got physical" entails

I've been hearing a lot of conflicting things. Like that the physical altercation was between a journalist and one of Joosts aides.

Very strange situation, I wish we'd get some clarity here.

Swedish police and prosecutor are involved investigating a case of unlawful threat as it is called in Swedish law. So something has definitely happened :(

and you should skip it anyway. They're using the show to whitewash Israel.

Dunno if you're aware, but Israel is currently conducting a fucking genocide. Starving an entire population, and massacring over 35,000 people makes this year different.

Sure. The government deserves criticism. I don't deny that whatsoever. But let's not tar everyone from Israel with the same brush eh. There are plenty of people within Israel protesting the ongoing events in Gaza.

"We maintain a zero-tolerance policy towards inappropriate behaviour at our event and are committed to providing a safe and secure working environment for all staff at the Contest. In light of this, Joost Kleins behaviour towards a team member is deemed in breach of Contest rules."

Meanwhile Israel's delegation is making threats and harassing other competitors.

Backing Croatia tonight - not (only) because of tactical reasons, but because I just think their song is an absolute banger.

It's like someone took a Streets of Rage soundtrack and added lyrics, haha.

The staging is absurd. Could barely see the Swedish twins for all the effects.

Ukraine easily the best so far. Lithuania boring the shit out of me now.

I thought our (UK) song was a bit dull before tonight, but I've got to say, when it was combined with that exceptional stage show, I actually think that was surprisingly good.

One of those rare years where I think we deserve to do quite well here.
