I do agree with you on this.

But the public only voted Israel at the top because of Political reasons, rather than thinking it was the best song.

New Day Will Rise, which was inspired by the ordeal.

Raphael was one of just 11 survivors from a group of around 50 people who
took refuge in a concrete bomb shelter during the attack, using dead bodies as
a shield for eight hours until she was rescued.

Meanwhile introducing her Norton said: "She only began singing professionally in 2023, and you can see why; she has an extraordinary voice, and it's a big, powerful ballad. Also, very nicely staged."


no mention of her ordeal or what inspired her -

I don't think that Graham Norton did anything wrong here.

He was being impartial.

Sh*t's still going down in Spain. It's only a little bit of a dumpster fire:

Melody cancels her schedule with RTVE (Broadcaster) after Eurovision and will travel directly to Seville.

After a night marked by disappointment and controversy with Spain, second to last in Eurovision 2025 , Melody reportedly decided at the last minute to take a break and cancel her scheduled agenda with RTVE and not return to Madrid with the Spanish delegation to travel directly to Seville with her family, as exclusively revealed by the Telecinco program, Socialité .

The singer from Seville has expressed her gratitude for the support she has received throughout Spain after finishing 24th in the Eurovision Song Contest this Saturday with her song Esa Diva , and she praised art and music, " even though other things sometimes prevail ": "I am very happy and very satisfied because we won. Love is above all. And long live art and music, even though other things sometimes prevail, but long live art," the singer said in a video posted on her Instagram after finishing the Eurovision final.

Despite this, the singer affirms that she will keep with her "the love, affection, and respect" that all the countries have shown behind the scenes. "I'm very happy; the dancers are amazing. I'm very happy. But I do want to make one thing clear: this is just one more thing, and what I'm keeping with me is the love, affection, and respect that all the countries have shown us and our work behind the scenes, because everyone's mouths were open."

Melody stated that Spain has fully supported her, as evidenced by videos from several Spanish stadiums. "They sent me I don't know how many videos of packed stadiums to watch the performance . I'm very satisfied with the performance and I think we did a great job," she stated.

Sometimes you find little gems like this on X:

Translation: "We don’t know what happened with the blackout, but we’re going to investigate the televoting."

Govt hard at work avoiding investigating its own performance to investigate votes for a music competition Can't make this up...

It’d likely be hosted elsewhere, like when Ukraine won.

there is literally no reason to rig the competition. It's not like the winner gets a significant career bump. There is no money these days even in a hit single. Those days have long gone

This left-wing pos tried to storm the stage and pour red paint signifying blood on a young girl singing at a music festival who herself on Oct 7th 2023 had to hide under dead bodies for hours to survive death at a music festival

what is wrong with these deranged marxists?
