I was hoping I’d get to see him do the spin trick again. Was impressive in fairness to him

Maybe not due to health and safety! He wasn't quite with it bless him!

Do we have to bring politics onto a lighthearted Eurovision thread?

DeeCee7 · 12/05/2024 00:02

The jury gave too much to Olly and not enough to Israel.

The public vote was much more accurate with 0 for Olly and over 300 for Israel.

Italy "accidentally" revealed their semi final votes the other day - 40pc voted for Israel. The second placed country received 7pc. It's not a real vote, it's bots.

Why do you think it’s bots?
Consideirng it costs money to vote, how does one charge a bot?

Randomthought · 12/05/2024 00:02

Nil points for us!! Omg haha 😂 how awful. Hope ollys ok!

Wouldn’t be surprised if there’s something dodgy with the voting. My phone wouldn’t allow me to. Can’t see any rhyme or reason to that, never happened before and am able to make any other payments/charges on that phone.

Well, I for one thoroughly enjoyed this year's Eurovision.

I said at the start I was looking forward to the batshit crazy, flamboyant, fun - and they delivered.

Thank you @RedToothBrush and the posters who contributed to the fun and humour of these threads.

Did anyone else love Norway's song and performance?
I am still baffled why they did not get much votes.
Also, UK no public vote? Olly did well.

I am disappointed anout these two.
But I love the winner! He was great on stage. Broke the code!

Yes. I loved Norway very much.

Justcallmebebes · 11/05/2024 23:55

This. Definitely. I voted for Israel purely because I hate bullies

Oh, the irony…

SabreIsMyFave · 12/05/2024 00:02

How the F did this song win? It's shite! 😖

YaMuvva · 12/05/2024 00:01

Maybe you should look at the terrorists who run Gaza, who as soon as there was a ceasefire, raped and murdered hundreds of Israelis, and still have many held hostage.

Did you forget about Hamas?

Ooh, held hostage like the prison camps Israel are currently holding Palestinians in? The ones where they’re wearing adult diapers, being forced to hold stress positions? The Israeli jails where the Palestinians are held without trial for years?

go on now, go scream anti semitism for me saying that.

SocksAndTheCity · 11/05/2024 23:55

Exactly! Some of the comments and behaviour directed at a 20 year old singing a song in a singing competition are a disgrace.

I also don't think Russia should be excluded - God knows the shit show of a UK government and their behaviour doesn't represent me or my views and I'd hate to be banned from something because it was assumed they did.

The comment she was replying to said ‘So pleased our 12 points went to Israel. Sends a strong message!’ How is that attacking the Israeli contestant?

Gooseysgirl · 12/05/2024 00:02

Well done Nemo - v popular winner in this house 🥳

You’re the one hating on an Israeli Jewish girl for no reason other than where she was born.

Please explain how you came to this conclusion. I am genuinely curious about it.

DramaLlamaBangBang · 11/05/2024 23:55

Eurovision has been used as a propoganda tool by Netenyahu, and she is old enough to know that. The Israeli delegation have by all accounts behaved appallingly during the contest- baiting other contestants, insulting other acts- both things would have got any other country kicked out. Abusing British or all Jews for what Israel is doing is obviously anti semitic. But objecting to Israel is just that. Objecting to Israel and their behaviour.

Exactly, This.

pinkdays · 12/05/2024 00:03

Here's a thought

Just vote based on the music

DeeCee7 · 12/05/2024 00:03

Choux · 11/05/2024 23:59

I saw it was broken but didn't see how it happened. An accident?

I saw his hand hitting the ground with the trophy so maybe it happend there?

Roundandroundtheworld · 12/05/2024 00:03

So rarely that I really love a song and vibes, so truly believe Croatia should have won .

Coshei · 12/05/2024 00:04

YaMuvva · 11/05/2024 23:59

Because they rightly point out anti-semitism in a music competition?

I would still like to know how my
post was antisemetic. Please elaborate unless you are just trolling (which I suspect you are)

Violetparis · 11/05/2024 23:53

Switzerland were deserving winners, not sure why so many people on hear think it was a fix. The british public voting for Israel clearly didn't like seeing a young woman being booed and given death threats for appearing in a singing competition.

It kind of reminds me why that daft fella in the Hi Viz vest won BGT last year - ITV went REALLY hard with the “These acts are mediocre but they have a big sob story, or identify as a table lamp, or have a dead nana, so we are going to give them the golden buzzer” acts…I knew that guy was gonna win because we do not like having other people’s views shoved down our throat

CelesteCunningham · 12/05/2024 00:05

ErroltheSwampDragon · 11/05/2024 23:58

That it was bots rather than people who voted for Israel?

I think it's highly unlikely that any country in any Eurovision in any year would score 40pc of the public vote. It's statistically improbable.

It's Eurovision, not an election. Phone votes are open to manipulation. Not the first time and not the last time I'm sure.

But the Israeli public vote scores clearly need to be taken with a pinch of salt.

Crikeyalmighty · 12/05/2024 00:05

Oh and whilst I didn't want Israel to win and don't think they should have been allowed in the contest - it was a better song- as was Croatia's- although hard to pick - i think people just have an incredibly low bar these days as to good songs- I guess at 62 and having heard tremendous people who don't get a look in , I just don't go for what sound like danced up nursery rhymes.

NotJohnMajor · 12/05/2024 00:05

FuzzyCaoraDhubh · 12/05/2024 00:02

Yes. I loved Norway very much.

Norway should have done much better in my opinion.

wintersgold · 12/05/2024 00:05

YaMuvva · 11/05/2024 23:57

Why?
it’s a singing contest.

Just doesn't feel safe to host it in Israel while the country's at war.

Roundandroundtheworld · 12/05/2024 00:06

SabreIsMyFave · 12/05/2024 00:02

How the F did this song win? It's shite! 😖

Agree ! Croatia were the winners 🤦‍♀️

Foggyfield · 12/05/2024 00:06

CelesteCunningham · 11/05/2024 23:58

Because in a competition of 15 countries (the semi final) it is very unlikely for any country to receive 40pc of the vote.

Did it happen in the past when there was likely to be strong political views influencing it? What percentage did Ukraine get of the public votes in the year the war started with Russia?

I'm guessing they also got a large percentage of the public vote.

But some have always struggled with the fact that the silent majority may disagree with the current opinion de jour from social media.
