Feeling such sweet relief that NL isn't doing a ballad again? Now I can watch, at least.

[vaeltaa]

europapa is so good... actually might win the whole thing

[therearewords]

The only thing missing is queer people making out.

[demented_21]

it's my favorite so far, and by far.

[thrysus]

not watching due to Israel tbh

[picturemegone]

I'm hoping there's still a chance they get banned. I skipped in 2019 when they hosted, and I might have to skip this year too.

I'm not boycotting at this time but shame on the EBU for permitting Israel while Russia is banned for its own military atrocities

Hopefully the Israel contestant won't make it into the Grand Final

I've heard whispers that they could get booted because their song is pretty obviously political (Eurovision songs are supposed to be apolitical), and they refuse to change it. Now, I don't know how likely that is to happen, but it is something they're discussing. They have until the 11th to submit a different song.

New conspiracy theory dropped: Kate is performing at Eurovision and she's hardcore practicing. There was no surgery, she's DJing it up a fancy room at the palace.

SEE! She can play an instrument! I'm right!!

[fernandocolunga]

Is that really her playing?

I missed the chance to do a Sanremo post, but anyway Italy had SO many good songs in the running this year. Including previous ESC contestant Mahmood, and fourth-placed Ghali who used his post-perfotmance speech to call for an end to the Gaza genocide live on Italian state tv and caused a minor diplomatic incident (stream Casa Mia to make a fascist mad ♥️)

I won't be watching Eurovision but the Sanremo playlist (Italian music festival entries) on spotify is fire

[vaeltaa]

Mahmood is king

[anachan87]

that's because Sanremo is a festival on its own and it just happens that the winners represent the country at ESC (in the past some winners refused to compete, while one year the representative was chosen outside of the sanremo entries), add in that pretty much every songs gets arranged for an orchestra it helps elevating the overall quality imo.

[altheablue]

Yeah obviously I'm biased 🇮🇹 but I think Sanremo has more rizz than ESC and that's absolutely down to the orchestra. Next year I'll do more propaganda on ONTD though tbh it probably will be less fun with a new host

[jenfolder]

The UK entry is very mid, I can't see it getting to the left side of the score board.

[vaeltaa]

yea i expected... more, instead i'm whelmed

[picturemegone]

I don't hate it but mte I don't think it's going far.
