There are people completely boycotting the contest

There are people caliming they are boycotting it but watches it and comment in this post

And you have the rest, regular Euro fans watches this years contest just like how they watch it before

 

And sure you might have genocide supportors watch something only for the sake of politics

 

I don't see how that contradicts what I just said. The thing is, if you're a regular Eurofan (as I happen to be) but you're aware of the situation, you just should not show your support to Israel right now because of the reasons I wrote. If you love Eden and discovered her here, great, stream her music and go to her concerts from now on. Just avoid supporting her this one time because it's not just about her, it's an uglier situation. I don't know why it's so difficult to understand.

I feel like Hurricane is a great song for Eurovision itself but outside of it, it feels like an X Factor winner charity single. I think the way it's presented makes it stronger than the actual song itself.

ESC songs rarely work outside of the contest itself and are most often solely made to go along a striking performance.

In recent times there's only a handful of songs which stuck on radio and streaming after the show's over thanks to Tiktok (Snap, Arcade, Zitti E Buoni).

You can't have a eurovision forum based on prevailing opinion,

there are people supporting small countries  there are people supporting every song, they NQ 

let me put this like this: 

 

prevailing opinion here is that Latvia's song is not good, but if someone had said that they made their family vote for them, no one would call them out for supporting genocide. maybe someone would've made a joke about their bad taste in music and poor choices with their money, but majority of the people wouldn't pay any attention to that opinion. 

 

or, since the prevailing opinion is that Croatia's entry should win, you can go to as many pages back as you want and you won't see anyone claiming that those who hate the Croatian song are genocide supporters. 

 

however, 99% of the people here think that genocide is bad and that supporting/voting for the country that is committing a genocide as we speak, and if you come in bragging how you support it while it's clear that you're trying to provoke a strong reaction from those who don't support those actions, then it's a completely different thing 

[Jon Snow]

and let me make something clear: the very core idea of Eurovision Song Contest is political, and that idea is in the contrast with what EBU did with allowing Israel to participate this year when they clearly rightfully had banned Russia previously

They maybe that's a dicision for the admins

It can be a term in the forum rule book that this or that person cannot like a song as a non-political eurovision fan 

But you and I are just members

it's not about liking the song, because...

just finished watching the semifinal performances, Ireland and Israel were my favourites, France and Ukraine were also cute 

no one said that this user supports the genocide. they just said that they liked the entry. it is completely different to come here and start an argument just because you know that the majority of the people condemn the crimes against humanity

You come from a boycotter's view of point, that's just not everyone 

 

 

It's just no use... I'm not trying to boycot anything, let alone the ESC. I've decided to not show support to Israel.

 

If you want to ignore what supporting Israel means (right now, in this contest), it's your decision. But that makes you self-centered. There's some **** happening outside your phone.

 

But you're entitled to that, just don't blame everyone else when you get strong reactions to your tone deaf pov.

Lol I barely even tried, getting yall keyboard warriors riled up is so easy and funny.

 

Just try to enjoy the show, find some light in those dark days. After it's over tomorrow night yall be sad that it passed and you wasted it by fighting some unnecessary battles in the wrong surroundings. Who participates in the contest is obviously way out of the public's reach to control.

I can't wait for this edition to be over. This feels like I'm watching the news which has been depressing currently, instead of an entertainment show

I don't think Tel Aviv 2025 is going to be much better.

 personally I am not going to watch the show. I will drop some votes for Croatia and Netherlands and that's it.

You try to clarify the meaning of boycot

then why can't we clarify the meaning of non-political fans?

 

Seperation of Eurovision Music from Politics

 

 

Israel is not separated from politics this year. The reality you're speaking of doesn't exist.

 

I'm a non-political fan following your definition, but this year making Israel win has other connotations. It's not my decision, it's not yours, it's just the way it is. Therefore, thinking you can harmlessly support Israel this year is not whithin reality.

 

You still haven't answered: would've you supported Russia if they had participated in 2022?

I feel bad for the contestants. This should be the happiest time of their lives or at least right now. Instead it's not… Only image if EBU would've acted right.

And the fact majority of the contestant's careers will not get any benefit from Eurovision due to it being completely overshadowed, I really worry for Olly especially. 

[OnlyManInTheWorld]

I really want this year's Eurovision to end. Truly the worst year in history. It ruined the good reputation the contest was slowly getting back.

But what do you mean by support?

What song do they have? what is their staging like? What to judge?

 

Isreal is #8 on my list, I won't even count that as support. 

The other user was called a genocide suppoter by user @Mezik for liking a song,

the only support from me here is my disagreement to that claim

 

You go off on a tangent everytime. Plus, you edited your comment to tag that user when the message was already clear. So I guess you're doing this just for fun. Blame on me for trying to help trolls understand. Have a good day.

Itunes Norway and Sweden... in 2024? thats what, 2 copies?

 

If song was any good it would be top3 on odds before leak suggesting Italy went crazy for this out of this world song

 

Israel only charts on iTunes but is N/A on YouTube trending  (including Italy where they got 40% televote. Their paid bot machine is trying so hard to scam themselves into victory.

Organic success only, actual songs that the GP likes

another hard truth: being "non-political" is political. it's not when you're blind, it's when you're willfully blind
