Re: Eurovision watch
The whole performance stank up the house and that's what the vote reflected.
I don't think it was homophobic, after all a man in a skirt won it.
Re: Eurovision watch
Never watched it before . Never seen the point of it. All I remember is Bucks Fizz won it because bbc 9 o clock news mentioned it.

Not me. My wife came home at 3am pissed as a fart after watching it with friends and is now snoring like a buffalo which is why I’m awake at 5am browsing my phone

Re: Eurovision watch
Zero points from the public. It wasn't terrible, but it had nothing great about it either.

What has that got to do with homophobia?Story of O wrote: ↑Sun May 12, 2024 8:12 amThe winner is non binary, so the audience was ok with that.
As woke as we are these days, people still can’t handle seeing proper man on man action.

Re: Eurovision watch
Would genuinely love to hear the hypothesis of how the judge and public votes were rigged to ensure that…um, Switzerland….won the event this time. And what the motivations and who the big players are in the whole scam.

Re: Eurovision watch
Looking back at those results analysis – who gave whom the maximum twelve points …..
So fifteen countries – the popular vote across Europe – thought Israel had the best song; one country thought Switzerland had the best song ……. yet Switzerland win it, purely down to the individual juries of a handful or people across the nations preferring Switzerland. What a complete farce.
For my money I’d have probably gone Israel first and Croatia second, which seems to tie in with these results. I remember in recent years Norway winning the public vote by a streak, but because they didn’t fare so well with the ‘juries’ they only managed about third, thought then this is just plain daft and unfair.
Have never quite got my head around the votes from (say) San Marino counting for as much as (say) Germany, talk about distorted democracy.
Time to pull the plug on the competition in my humble opinion.

Re: Eurovision watch
Do you honestly think all the people that voted for the Israeli song were doing so because they thought it was the best song? Bless.
Like the idea of some votes being worth more than others based on size/power/wealth.

Re: Eurovision watch
Yeah, that's fair. But then you could also argue that the absence of jury votes for the Israeli song was suss too. It definitely wasn't the best song, but it was in the top 6.
As I said, autocracy vs democracy.

Re: Eurovision watch
BTW, personally, I think this year's controversy has added an extra layer of spice to the competition. I'd therfore like to see some of the other competitors do some war before next year's final.
