Sadly the betting odds do not reflect on the quality of the songs

It’s a political nightmare .. remember Ukraine won it in 2022 .. a kindness vote .

I think Croatia could actually win it. I can imagine them giving a really strong performance on Saturday night.

Apart from that outlier

The best song always wins (that year the best song was UK and it did win really)

I'm 100% voting for Croatia. They are amazing. Will also give a cheeky vote to Italy, because I like the song, it's catchy.

Having now heard all the songs I think the standard this year is very high, sadly our own entry is very poor comparison to the 20 best songs, for example

Here we go with the leftist woke mind-virus crowd
 

Israeli Eurovision singer Eden Golan is ordered to stay in her hotel room by her
security team as thousands of pro-Palestine protesters including keffiyeh-
wearing Greta Thunberg gather in Malmo, calling for her to be excluded

the ongoing conflict in Gaza between Israel and the Palestinian Islamist group
Hamas, in Malmo, Sweden, May 9, 2024

It’s odd how we all have such different tastes

I absolutely love the UK song Dizzy and I actually dislike many if not most of the others

Then I would suggest you have rather poor taste in music

which is fine but I'm afraid the vast majority of the world agrees

Well I like most of what you like sooooo

Comedian Arrested after waiving national flag at Eurovision song contest!
 

https://res.cloudinary.com/hb0stl6qx...t_11.36.33.png

The Israeli celebrity, who had wrapped himself in an Israeli flag, was verbally
assaulted and spat at by anti-Israel protesters for waving the national flag at
the Eurovision Contest in support of the Israeli contestant.

Two local police officers intervened in the dispute and detained Hochman,
informing him that it was not appropriate to display Israeli flags or to be
Jewish in that location.

Hochman expressed frustration at the double standard, saying that while he
was prohibited from waving an Israeli flag, the anti-Israel protesters were
allowed to display their Palestinian/Hamas flags without any interference.

The Eurovision Song Contest in Malmö kicked off on Tuesday evening with an
opening act by performer Eric Saade, a Swedish singer whose father is
Palestinian. Saade came out on stage with his wrist wrapped in a keffiyeh, a
Palestinian symbol used in pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel protests.

i am listening to most of this years class their songs, yes

i wish most artists also wonderful careers, keep releasing music (even to those who nq'd) don't let that flop ruin your career, focus on the fans you do have


i kinda hope Olly goes back to his Y&Y type of bop sound, songs like king, shine, starstruck i listen to a lot still :love:



i follow many past esc artists whatever music they are releasing as of today on youtube



and as if i do not have music shows without esc, lol


die giovanni zarrella show is miles better, with an actual live band/orchestra

What a pity you wont be watching tonight

Bar maybe Hard Rock Hallelujah, Fairytale, and Only Teardrops, I would say that this is largely untrue imo.

I mean I refuse to believe that Germany had a better song than Turkey in 2010.

I don't know why anybody takes Greta Thunberg seriously anymore?

She had one issue that she genuinely cared about (and it made her famous obviously) and since then she's just been clinging onto fame for dear life.

Imo anyone that believes that she really cares about all of these issues are being far too trusting imo.

Adam Sellers isn't holding back is he?:joker:
