I dunno. It grew on me alot and the performance was great too

It was good, but not as good as Israel in my opinion.

Intervision 2025 is gonna be more fun i think


Daddy Putin's alternate song contest

Some comedy for y'all. This is one of ranked a top post on X. It's obviously trash lol I was waffling on whether to post because I don't know if other people enjoy the same sense of humor...




So when Spain's singer was being interviewed during her journey, she joked about having this intense relationship with Lady Gaga. It's literally a gag, but some people have made it into more. It's nice to see their X demographic can be just as delusional as the English-speaking variant.

Spanish tabloids and Spanish-related conspiracy chat have always enjoyed a reputation of being super crazy with their theories and gossips historically within the US. Especially the superstitious bits I'd say we're more or less even with them now...

Was Spain’s singer mistreated? How?

The one Belgium station that demanded an audit but was like "We think the results were correctly counted"... but still wants an audit...

Spain & Belgium and apparently a handful of other countries are complaining... but at least in the case of Spain & Belgium, they both played Pro-Palestine messages in conjunction with the show, so the irony is they're saying they think the results or voting methods are too political... but then they both did things to make their participation more political, which in turn is what resulted in their countries voting 12's for Israel...

indeed

According to the findings, the Israeli Government Advertising Agency — responsible for promotional work with public bodies and state-affiliated companies — ran targeted ads via Google platforms in the lead-up to the Eurovision final, held in Basel, Switzerland. These ads guided viewers on how to vote for Raphael’s entry, “New Day Will Rise.”

Additionally, a YouTube channel launched on April 20 uploaded 89 videos between May 6 and 16, aimed at audiences in 35 countries. These videos, which collectively reached over 8.3 million views, featured Raphael herself urging people to vote for her, often speaking in different languages and emphasising her performance numbers: 14 in the semi-final and 04 in the final. The EBU report confirmed that there was no indication of AI usage in these clips, suggesting Raphael’s direct involvement.

The EBU has repeatedly shut down all calls for Israel to be removed from Eurovision over the country’s actions in Gaza, where more than 52,000 people have been killed since October 2023. They state that the event is a competition between public broadcasters rather than governments, noting the contest must remain apolitical.

However, this government-funded marketing campaign raises questions on that statement.


meanwhile our winner from Austria, JJ supports exclusion of Israel from next years contest, and he is hoping for Vienna to host it again, same as in 2015

i saw that specific youtube channel their promo content, it was literally towards 35 countries, in their native languages as well the voting information, how to vote and more specifically that you can vote up to 20 times


honestly nothing wrong with promoting your entry, but 35 videos from that channel, uploaded in one day, as well as government funded, which also included a big ad on Times Square, with the voting information, (americans who vote are part of the Rest of the World vote)

Get Rid Of Israel, or else

it's already a start, now let's disqualify them (from 2025 and hopefully from 2024 too)

as of 2026 hopefully they are kicked out, there are more than enough other sponsors to replace MoroccanOil lol

[Nicky91]

and without Israel, the contest will be more appealing too again
