i mean

Israel out, means no Germany


but Israel in, means no Netherlands, Norway, Slovenia, Spain, Belgium, Ireland, Iceland



and let Netherlands, Spain, Belgium be among those who pay the most participation fee, so without them, the participation fee will increase for other countries, leading to poor countries to withdraw because of that

no longer need to expel Israel, if things are gonna go smoothly regarding the peace talks this week

[Nicky91]

i rather have Netherlands withdrawing, than Israel expelled



Israel is one of my personal favourite countries in eurovision, sporadically that they aren't high up my ranking

she apparently went to private schools, had early access to music production resources


so yeah i am expecting something well polished, professional sounding, and likely a pop ballad or a regular ballad as the entry



her mom is celebrity chef Tonia Buxton, you might know her LT as she been on GBNews

Germany: Eurovision 1959 Representatives Alice and Ellen Kessler Have Died



Alice and Ellen Kessler, who represented Germany at the Eurovision Song Contest 1959, have died at the age of 89.

Twin sisters Alice and Ellen Kessler have died today at the age of 89. The Kessler Twins were singers, dancers and actresses whose career commenced in the 1940s, going on to be household names in Germany and Italy during the 1950s and 1960s.

Having started as dancers, in 1955 they acted in film for the first time and then began to record music in 1958. It was in 1959 that the sisters were internally selected to represent Germany at the 4th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest in Cannes. They would perform “Heute Abend wollen wir tanzen geh’n” at the competition in France, placing 8th.

During the 1960s, their career would take them to Italy, where the sisters would regularly appear on RAI’s Studio Uno. This move to Italy saw the Kessler Sisters’ careers grow further, releasing multiple singles, starring in films and a variety of television series. They would return to Germany in 1986 and would continue to appear on TV in Germany and Italy.

Youtube video

The sisters would spend the last decades of their lives living in neighboring apartments. They died today at the age of 89, with both sisters agreeing to end their lives, a wish they made public in recent years.

The Eurovoix team would like to express our condolences to the Kessler Twins’ family and friends at this difficult time.

35 countries might be the number of countries taking part



Netherlands might be one of those withdrawing, same as Spain, Slovenia, Ireland, Belgium

[Nicky91]

and AVROTROS in case of a withdrawal forbids the artists who submitted a entry to release the song, but delete it

and those artists need to remain silent




Netherlands might be staying away from eurovision for the next 10 years

[Nicky91]

the broadcaster has to reject its original statement to participate, which it is refusing to do so

NPO (the organization all Dutch public broadcasters are under) is already considering possibly having to look for another broadcaster for Eurovision from 2027 onwards

NPO's current chairman supports the withdrawal decision

and if Israel wins, permanent withdrawal

[Nicky91]

Spain, Slovenia once again confirmed if Israel is in, they are withdrawing


and same goes for Netherlands, Belgium, Iceland, Ireland more than likely

[The Human Santapede]

I reckon we may see Kazakhstan (and potentially even Canada as it’s an EBU member) be invited to the 2026 contest if too many countries drop out.

then better rebrand this rotten contest to worldvision while we're at it




Montenegro's songs are all out, again such a pathetic line up from them

[The Human Santapede]

We’ll get our first entry on 20 Dec, courtesy of Albania.

Their entry this year is still my fave.
