DUA LIPA Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 (edited) 35 minutes ago, Komet said: Once again, DQing somebody before the finale and putting in a press release in no uncertain terms that mean that his behavior breached contest rules, means that 2) this is something more serious than israhelli delegation acting untouchable, especially if police is involved and 2) there's enough proof of it happening for EBU to act. Using whataboutism to excuse harassments is NOT a good look; you can protest israel without trivializing an attack on somebody this is only partially true; we really don't know what went down. The EBU statement is also vague and gives us no clarity, the only thing they oddly specify is that it was a female member of the production crew (very odd). The only thing we know is that this member filed a complaint to the malmo police and "while the legal process takes its course, it would not be appropriate for him to continue in the Contest." (EBU statement) We have absolutely no clarity what went down and the talks between AVROTROS/dutch delegation and the ebu (Martin Ö.) have been going on since yesterday – if this was a clear cut case and incident of immense gravity i'm sure this all would have went down easier. Now because everything is being kept incredibly vague since yesterday people on social media started spreading rumours that nobody can prove or disprove because of the lack of information we're being given. At the same time AVROTROS have said that they find "the disqualification disproportionate and [are] shocked by the decision." (dutch statement) I honestly hope there's going to be some sort of official clarity on this and that if the dutch delegation stands by their words of this being disproportionate, they let hell lose on the EBU and/or some other delegations join and support them when they "come back to this later" (dutch statement). Maybe some teams should also go up to the police and file complaints about the KAN journalists at this point, so this "later" doesn't end up being after the contest because while i think they should also work this through afterwards, there should also be some immediate response on this part...

Eric. Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 There's a goddamn pop up video with the updated recap blocking anyone from voting. On the app, on mobile, on PC. You have to watch the whole video so the pop up goes away and then you're able to vote. Anyone else have that problem? I'm not surprised at the mess. It's like they forgot voting was supposed to start and then they drop this bomb less an hour before the lines open. So inconsiderate of the rest of the contestants and voting fans.

DUA LIPA Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 i hope the dutch delegation and AVTROTROS have some good contacts to other delegations and broadcasters so they can raise some hell for the EBU during these next few hours. If they actually mean that this feels disproportionate than there's enough reason to make these next few hours a mess for the organisers and yes some teams should definitely heavily complain about the KAN-shenanigans that are/have been happening in malmo and through their broadcasts and coverage of this. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoAngelus Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 11 minutes ago, velocity said: they probably thought she had a way bigger chance because she had a hit on tiktok unfortunately Yeah, can't blame them for thinking that, Dzanum smashed on spotify but not in voting countries lol And they are probably not aware of how liked Konstrakta is among Eurovision crowds, and she still has hype and goodwill from 2022, I really think she would've won this year. Especially once world heard the concept behind the 'same' performance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, obviously... All the efforts are gonna be, either go with the only one with options of winning over israel, so all the votes for Croatia. Or the other way around, go and vote Israel just for the heck of it. So... It's Croatia or death at this point At this point I don't see Netherlands coming back next year, even if Croatia or someone else wins but especially not if Israel wins. And I think a couple of other countries will also withdraw from next year unless that clown Martin resigns from EBU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
