What has she been through?

Show quote history

You cannot actually be serious?

Playing dead under the bodies of her friends in a bomb shelter at a music festival while Hamas terrorists threw in grenade after grenade.

Having thousands of protestors on the streets, some making throat-slitting gestures because she dared sing?

Well I imagine that’s why a lot of people voted for Israel. Because all the protesting and booing for the Israeli singer left a sour taste in their mouths.

Exactly this. I don't know why people don't get it.

its really not hard for the uk, send a good singer AND a good song. Done

If all else was left at the door Israel would probably have been on the bottom half of the leaderboard.

Show quote history

People get sick of being told what they should or shouldn’t believe in. Look at the comments on here! It’s like a toxic school playground! God forbid anyone just says ‘I voted for x because I liked the song’. If you like a song, vote for a song. If you don’t, don’t. But for the love of god I wish people would stop trying to dictate how people SHOULD feel about a fucking song.

Israel are committing atrocities. So the fuck are Hamas. There are no winners, but maybe people are just sick of being told what they should think.

UK public disagrees with you. God bless the survivors of October 7th and the hostages and their families.

Sorry I meant I helped get Israel the points, I voted for Israel

So in terms of our 0. A couple of years ago when Sam Ryder did so well, Graham Norton and others who are part of the big Eurovision Machine said that a huge contributor to the auks general poor performances and to Sam’s much better one was that he played the game.

across Europe in the months running up to Eurovision there is a HUGE circuit/press tour which Eurovision contestants can do. Radio, tv shows, festivals etc. and the UK artists basically never bother.

Sam Ryder did. And look at the difference it made. Our lack of points isn’t all about our general popularity as a country. It’s also because we just don’t bloody bother.

not going to comment on the Israel side of things because it’s hard to do so without being misinterpreted and I’m also angry.

Apparently Jade Ewan did that too and didn't she come fifth or something?

I think a lot of people voted because they are fed up with the Free palestine mob and there are not many ways to express it.

When even Trump acknowledges that people are starving in Gaza, it becomes pretty hard to deny.

I'm just glad Netanyahu's genocide won't be the backdrop to Eurovision next year.

Well, Sweden were robbed.

Agreed!

there is a part of me that likes that people are (in general) taking the musical side more seriously and voting for songs with musical merit. BUT personally I’ve always adored the mad-hat, cheesy bonkers stuff way more.

Did Isreal get the highest public vote in total, not just from UK?

290 or something?

What has she been through?

Show quote history

She was at the Nova music festival and survived the October 7th attack. She survived by pretending to be dead and hiding amongst dead bodies for 8 hours.

Shocked that the UK didn’t get any public votes! A wake up call for us in the UK ..we are not a popular country!

This. They were good singers. The song arrangement was awful.

I like Eurovision. Would I play our song in the car over the next year? Nope.

If I wouldn't why would anyone else?

This is the test. Would I play it on repeat. If the answer is no, it's not a winner.
