Eurovision Song Contest 2024

How did cha cha cha cha cha cha chaaaaa not win last year

 

[PurplePie]

400 artists in Ireland signed an open letter asking Bambie Thug to withdraw. One of the signatories had been favourite to win the national selection back in January but didn't. Except in January when she competed the conflict was well underway.

Sorry I don't mean to derail but Erica Cody is such a desperate wannabe who is jealous and bitter that Bambie beat her. Ercia is a shit singer and wouldn't have a lot of commercial success but she seems to get a lot of opportunities and publicity from Rté (Irish broadcaster). She was pushed hard by them in the run up to the national selection. Then she went on to put public pressure on Bambie to boycott the competition? What a hypocrite and she should know there would be contractual obligations Bambie would have to fulfil.

Anyway, Ercia is a Roxanne Pallett type grifter/ perpetual victim type. Shortly after the George Floyd/BLM protesters a few years back she tried to capitalise on the mood at the time and tried to get Versatile, or specifically, Casper Walsh cancelled. They knew each other from school or something? She posted a video where she was crying/ distraught in her car saying he had blocked her in for ages, intimidated her, she was practically in fear of her life etc etc. He was able to get the CCTV footage and showed he stopped his car in front of her parked car, waved and moved on like 5 seconds later. She's not to be taken seriously.

[IKickLikeKatya]

At least you can’t blame the Finns for taking themselves too seriously

 

[Merpedy]

Haven't the voting rules changed so the public votes from the moment performances start or something? The halves may not matter as much as they did previously

Rehearsal video is out.. I don't love it

The staging is really good but... yeah

Said it before but it's giving Sam Smith to me and I'm not loving it as a result. Also just finding him unbearable

 

[KatLit]

See, the thing is Eastern European countries might not like this...I realise this is controversial

it's giving me "cottaging" vibes. Icky

 

[StephenTJackson]

What the fuck is this Ireland?

 

[PurplePie]

Sam Smith could only dream of looking that good in a thong and corset

 

[PandoraSkye]

BOOOOOOOOOOOO
BOOOOOOOOOOOO
BOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[FenellaTheWitch]

Are they going to have actual ABBA at the final. Can't imagine they are going to miss the chance for a 50 year tribute.

If they don't get them there in some form on Saturday they never will. In Sweden on their 50th Anniversary ?? Got to be in with chance.

I said a few pages back to keep Eurovision totally apolitical then they should take action regarding countries in conflict. Just suspend them until it is over. It is distracting and not fair on the artists.

Even Ukraine winning in 2022 was a political statement. Everyone voted Ukraine because of the war not because of their song.

Yep the pressure on Olly trying to make him withdraw has been absolutely ridiculous, calling him complicit in genocide, littering his twitter feed with pics of dead babies etc just because he's in the same competion that features an Israeli entry. Totally unfair and unreasonable, of course Israel and Palestine is important in life but at the same time we need some relief and fun and calm time away from the horrors of the world, not everything needs to be spoiled and miserable.

No doubt other countries' acts have been under the same pressure. I agree that any country that's involved in an international conflict should simply be excluded even if that does mean half the entrants being removed!

 

[Millennial Pink]

Excellent, we have to sit through Finland again. Thrilling.

 

[ahtisyourself]

seriously check out the co-hosts dress...

HEAT REACTIVE she's gone warm again

Honestly I cant get over it

If I wore that I’d just have a big warm vagina, ass and armpits and the rest normal

 

[Restless Native]

At least you can’t blame the Finns for taking themselves too seriously

They were robbed last year

RIM TIM TAGI DIM ZAGREB 2025

I had missed the opening act last night so I wasn’t aware of Eric Saade wearing a Palestinian keffiyeh around his wrist, causing the Eurovision organizers to not upload his performance or mention him on their social media. Apparently it’s being investigated if Eric, a man with Palestinian roots, broke some made up rules with this. My god.

Shall we just ban flags at Eurovision altogether now then?
This is getting ridiculous. Not a good look for the ebu.

 

[Merpedy]

I think the strong songs this year are strong and actually competing so it’s a pretty good year

I know there’s some favourites but I don’t think they have it in the bag at all and some may be a bit too weird for the general public

 

[londongirl2001]

Shall we just ban flags at Eurovision altogether now then?
This is getting ridiculous. Not a good look for the ebu.

And it’s literally not even a flag he was showing, so Eurovision is really being the worst once again. They simply don’t want any sign of Palestinian life to be seen. They said flags from non-participating countries are banned, so Eric didn’t even break that rule.

German media of course calls this a provocation

 

[Rach88]

I'm really excited and he seems genuinely grateful and excited to do it feel like this is the earliest we've, annouched it

 

[AManWalksDownTheStreet]

Christ Johnny Logan..

They just keep wheeling him out every year. Also his voice does not suit Euphoria at all.
