The last preparty shows that they are a great performer and truly leagues ahead most of the rest of the year outside of a few (although it is preparties). I'll give them a few votes because we need Ireland to qualify so they get the memo to not send ****. I just don't know if the GP will get the song instantly but luckily it's mostly fans who watch the semis. After being introduced to Tsunami a few hours ago I'm slightly salty that they didn't send a song like that because that would have been such a moment, such an easy qualifier and they performed that way better than Doomsday Blue honestly.

 

My current plan for my SF1 votes are

10 to Lithuania

5 to Ireland

5 to Slovenia

More tea regarding Olly:

 

So outside they were protesters asking for him to withdraw which he saw when entering the venue

There was flyers getting handed around in the venue and left around for him to withdraw

When he was performing he said "I am gonna sing a few more songs then I will sing Dizzy.. that Eurovision song" with a straight face.

 

So yeah, he's over it at this point  and the thing is he literally can't withdraw now because of the contract/fines and the fact it's the BBC..

 

This is actually pretty disgusting considering  Olly already released that statement supporting Palestine

I will never, for the life of me, understand the stanning for Georgia. It's so... average. Out of the girlbops of this year, is by far the worst. 

Loop, La Noia, Liar >>>>>>>

I don't mind Malta's song, but that intro awfully reminds me of Israel 2022 intro and it makes me skip it almost instantly  

[Fevesy]

 

Look at how they ate that..

the tv show he's on is darksided as well. They're responsible for many a hate train against Eurovision artists in the Netherlands.

I'm obsessed with her

Sick of this *** William, glad that his book signing in London FLOPPED and got cancelled. Wiwibloggs is an actual plague at this point. Let's not forget that Cinan was attending preparties last year and then begged for money to go to Eurovision. 

 

There is way better ESC fansites out there but they were just in the right place at the right time to have the success they do. I also loathe that William/Deban gets to sit on NF/internal selection juries often - it's so cringy 

 

Also doesn't William work for the BBC? Now sister don't bite the hand that feeds you..

I like Deban and his honesty. I understand that not everyone likes it but I like it when youtubers react to songs/performances and give their honest reaction. I think Deban is funny. William annoying and Cinan okay.

Extremely hypocritical statement considering they've not taken any responsibility at all over this matter. Israel was allowed FOUR rewrites of the song while Belarus was kicked out after two. They were not even formally announced on their social pages but they instead just quietly dropped the video and hoped no one would notice. The president of Israel literally got involved with KAN and forced them to participate to further fuel Israeli propaganda. So much for 'United by Music' and the so-called 'apolitical' nature of the contest.

 

The EBU has blood on their hands and is complict in genocide. They deserve to burn

Belarus was not kicked out by the EBU after two tries. They were given an additional opportunity to rewrite/submit another song after their second submission, and chose not to - they let the March 15th deadline pass without submitting a third song. Then, in June 2021, they were kicked out of the EBU after their autocratic government created a (Hamas related, ironically enough) bomb threat on a Ryanair flight in order to arrest a dissident journalist. Without EBU membership, they are not allowed to participate in Eurovision.

 

People are allowed to be angry about Israel's participation in the contest without misleading people with false equivalencies.

[Hurem]

EBU is not ready for the mess that is gonna happen in Malmo, and I just hope no one gets seriously hurt.

 

That being said, despite all their mental gymnastics, they are still looking very stupid. They're attempting to justify Russia's exclusion from Eurovision 2022 by claiming the EBU membership suspension as the main reason. However, the EBU actually disqualified them from Eurovision one week before officially suspending their membership. They should at least try developing a PR spin that isn't easily debunked with a quick Google search

[Green Tea Is Green]

That statement is just gonna make it worse lmao I feel bad for the artists but people are doing what's right, pressuring those likely to do something is the only way and its been the only thing that got a reaction from the EBU after all these months

All these artists need to do is come together and threaten the EBU/their broadcasters, it's not too late

Their statement is so stupid it's funny, all of this could've easily been avoided if they just banned that broadcaster from participating 

[Hurem]

From what I heard, SVT has been pretty vocal behind the scenes about not wanting Israel to compete, but EBU has always shut them down, not allowing any type of discussion about the issue.

 

It's more than obvious EBU won't let Israhell go considering their biggest sponsor is Moroccan Oil (an Israeli company), so it sucks that artists have to be the ones to take the heat instead of the EBU, but then again, had more broadcasters come together, like they did against Russia, maybe EBU would have budged. EBU and broadcasters deserve to be dragged, not the artists (except that Iceland hag)

How is this relevan to their DSQ? Was it the broadcaster who did that? I'm sure Alyona Lanskaya was the one who threatened.
