It's not which country do you feel sorry for but I'd guess all the Facebook look iv got a Ukraine flag now users will vote that terrible song as they think they are sticking it to Putin?

In some ways if it does win it will as Bots says show the whole thing up for what it really is

That's not new it's been political for decades . Eurovision is just about the spectacle... it doesn't really matter who wins.

It's always been semi political but you've never been able to rely solely on that and let's not act like this situation is 'normal' or representative of general Eurovision history. Supporting a country that's been invaded/suffered thousands of deaths/millions displaced is a bit more of an extreme circumstance than any other year and can be forgiven for this contest surely

eurovision has always been about the bizarre acts on display, the awful songs and the way "judges" award points

That won't change tonight

British people finding excuses for their bad results instead of realizing their songs are not good enough, nothing new

Malta also wants to withdraw from the contest next year if Ukraine wins, then the contest has become too political

and have filed a complaint to the EBU to ban Ukraine from this years final last minute

That's what I'm here for. The bizarre staging and costumes. That's why I think Norway is so brilliant.
They're what Eurovision is all about. Fun

Tbf we lost to Germany and Serbia last year when their songs were clearly worse.

And I say that as someone that disliked last year's UK entry.
