Crazy that Israel got 10 points from Ireland & 12 from Spain in the public voting.

I was shocked at Switzerland doing so badly with the public vote.

Austria just felt like a rehash of last year really.

I wanted San Marino to win 😆

You're a fan of both Art and Eurovision. Could I tentatively suggest we be friends?

I think you could be right!

How soon before we get the ‘Sound of music’ references. Chuckled when Graham said ‘See you in Vienna, or another Austrian city which I don’t know the name of’.

Nope it’s definitely not that. Otherwise there wouldn’t have been so many times when the winning country had to decline to host because they couldn’t afford it. (I believe it’s happened around 8 or 9 times and the UK have stepped in for at least 5 of those)

That neatly encapsulates the echo chamber that surrounds this issue.

If Palestine were an entrant I can assure you Israel would absolutely trounce them in a vote.

Just because one particular group is loud and offensive doesn’t mean they have majority support. Many people feel it is easier to keep their thoughts and opinions to themselves if all they get in response if they don’t is abuse.

All you see in the media are offensive pro-Palestine thugs. In real life virtually everyone I speak to is pro-Israel. The media is empowering a small group but please don’t be fooled that they are anything other than that.

In real life, people I speak to are neither pro-Israel nor pro-Palestine, think there are no winners, and are despairing of the hatred and violence on both sides.

That is interesting. I assumed that Sweden would have won their semi final.

Shocked by an Ukraine win in that semi. I’m also surprised Sweden was so low and Croatia was so high. Other than that it looks about right - well done Iceland!

Surprised Sweden were so low when so many people had them as favourites!

This.

This was very firmly my experience in the arena last year. Most people were pissed off at it all and just wanted to be there for the song contest.

Oh stop it. It's a Eurovision thread and the likes of you are spoiling it.

Whisperings · 18/05/2025 00:47

Sophie EB would be a fantastic host. It was so nice to see her happy persona giving the UK jury vote.
I do feel the UK should have done so much better this year. The song was so good.

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.

You left out the full quote didn’t you?

People in Gaza are hungry because of Hamas. There’s lots of food in the markets, it’s just that no one can afford it because Hamas are trying to turn a profit. How on earth do you think their leaders got to be Billionaires?

Wow, the pro Israel supporters must be so proud to have someone like you on side. What a measured and reasonable response.

The UK is still in Europe.

I think it’s safe to say you know what I mean, even at this late hour

The EU

nope

iwentjasonwaterfalls · 18/05/2025 00:51

@RedToothBrush you've done a brilliant job keeping the threads on track and focused on what Eurovision should be about - music, a bit of a laugh, eye rolling at political voting and, of course, singing opera on a pretend boat.

JaneJeffer · 18/05/2025 00:51

Get your umbrellas out there’s a shower of cunts

SailingOnAWave · 18/05/2025 00:51

The whole contest needs to be stripped back to basics again. It's all too hyper and over the top now.

Watch Eurovision from the 1980's for example. So much simpler and just a stage and a microphone and orchestra. None of this staging. All about the music and countries having to sing in their own language.

Yes @RedToothBrush thank you.
