It was absolutely not. Bambi’s song was iconic.

i think the contest has always been crap, but it was for a long time a bit of harmless fun. Now, i don't think anyone can consider it fun and therefore there is no point in continuing it

i can see EBU standing with Israel, due to MoroccanOil sponsorship



but if they kick out Israel, then i can see them coming up with another nation in return, perhaps Kazakhstan on a invite, they already received those invites for junior eurovision quite some editions


and i can see the EBU also trying to cool down Germany in terms of their ''withdrawal threat'' maybe with an offer of more power in the committee, helping out to try and improve the contest some more

Oh, that's nice. They're not going to use mafia-style tactics to force countries to participate... thanks for letting us know, Eurovision

As arista put it, the "Great Eurovision" has spoken...

Have you watched The Story of Fire Saga yet? It's even cringier than real Eurovision. And I thought that was impossible.

I didn't watch it last year either, a platform like that is the last thing Israel needs.
